Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan)

After returning home, Grace investigated the people who had been in touch with Edric. To her surprise, she actually found one.

When Quentin was still alive, Edric had always wanted to seize control of the company. But with limited shares, he could only use his seniority to his advantage.

It was only after teaming up with Excellent Group that he became much more assertive.

Excellent Group originally had no connection with Lambert Group. The reason they supported Edric was solely because Grace had unintentionally offended the scion of Excellent Group five years ago. No one knew exactly how she had offended him, but he still held a grudge against her.

Grace felt her head throbbing. She didn't even know who the so-called scion was, but she continued to investigate along the line and finally found his name-Jayce Bennett.

She thought about it for a while but couldn't recall anything, so she made a call to ask Selene. By now, Selene had already become her personal encyclopedia.

"Jayce Bennett? You mean the scion of Excellent Group? I heard he went blind in one eye and has been keeping a low profile ever since."

He went blind in one eye? She couldn't possibly have anything to do with that, right?

"Selene, did I cause his blindness?" Grace asked.

"I've honestly never heard of that. In Druville, you're mainly known for being head over heels for Yancey. Other than that, you actually kept a low profile and hardly showed up in public. You were only involved in things that were related to Yancey."

Selene thought for a moment before pouring herself a glass of red wine. "But Jayce is a bit off and vicious. He has harmed quite a number of young women in the past. You might not remember this piece of gossip, but he was once infatuated with Alice. He openly expressed his intentions to pursue her several times, but then he suddenly went blind.

"He was already a gloomy person, and now, he's probably even gloomier."

Grace couldn't be bothered with these old matters anymore. Since Jayce was secretly messing with the Lambert family, there was nothing wrong with her fighting back.

On the other hand, Alice had roamed the streets for several days after being terrified by Joanne. Although she had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital, the staff there paid little attention to her after learning that she was no longer favored.

Even if she went missing for a week, no one would look for her. After all, the

Lamberts had paid ten years' worth of fees in one go.

She was walking along the street when a car suddenly stopped beside her. A gloomy voice called out from inside, "Alice?"

Alice had become very timid now,

always feeling like everyone was out to harm her. When she heard the

voice, she instinctively wanted to

run, but a hand reached out from the car and yanked her inside,

"Let go of me! Let go of me!" She looked up and saw a prosthetic eye. It lacked any brilliance, yet it was remarkably beautiful.noveldrama

She had no idea who this man was, so she quickly pulled away from his arms and curled up in a corner, trembling with fear.

Jayce raised an eyebrow and sneered, "You don't recognize me anymore?"

Her face turned pale. "I really don't know you. Who are you?"

He suddenly pulled out a dagger, yanked her over, and held the blade to her

throat. "You really don't know me? Or are you just pretending?"

She thought of Ethan again, and she nearly passed out at the thought of that devil, that monster. But Jayce slashed her cheek with the dagger, and the pain was enough to keep her awake.
