Regret Came Too Late

The two people who had caused a sensation at the banquet had already left, and the crowd slowly came back to their senses.

Someone rubbed their eyes and asked the person next to them, "I didn't just imagine that, did I?"

"No, everyone saw it."

Tonight's guests were prominent figures, and most were here to expand their network and resources. No one had expected Ethan to show up, let alone in this way.

Even after Ethan went abroad two years ago, Henderson Group continued to thrive under his management. He still made headlines in major financial newspapers overseas.

Everyone exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.

Behind them, Jodie had crushed the glass in her hand. The shards pierced her palm, and blood slowly trickled down her skin.

Daphne was standing cautiously next to Jodie. Upon seeing what had happened, Daphne quickly appeased Jodie. "Jodie, let me take you to the hospital. You need to get your hand bandaged."

It was Daphne who spiked Grace's wine tonight, and she did it under Jodie's instruction. Jodie had even arranged for Yancey to spend the night with Grace.
