Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan)

As for who Ethan was pointing his gun at, no one had a clue.

Dylan had someone send the photo over, and only he knew the reason for this.

However, when the messenger was about to arrive at Lambert Group, he got hit by a truck and almost died. He flew out of the car and landed on a path nearby. The photo fell out of his hand. A few drops of blood splattered onto it.

He tried his best to keep his eyes open. He wanted to see who it was that was standing before him, but all he could see was a pair of legs.

Then, a hand with long and slender fingers reached down to pick the photo up. The person sauntered back to the car, disappearing almost instantly.

Dylan had been waiting to hear back from the messenger. However, even after three hours had passed, not a single piece of news came back. He played with the cup in front of him as he let out a chuckle. It seemed that Ethan was really afraid of having that photo end up in Grace's hands.

All Dylan wanted was to test Ethan, yet it turned out that this matter really was his Achilles heel.

Grace had just settled down at Lambert Group when she saw Edric marching toward her furiously.

"Grace Lambert!" he barked angrily.

His eyes were filled with malice. "Why did you send people to screw Thom up?"

Even if she did not like Thomson, there was no need to destroy his face. He was a celebrity!

Grace appeared lost. She did not know anything about Thomson's incident.

Eric clenched his jaw so hard his teeth were about to break. He took a deep breath before saying, "Fine. I didn't want to do this, but you forced me to. Just you wait, Grace Lambert. Seeing how you had the audacity to send someone to ruin Thom's face, I, too, can also find someone to ruin Liam!"

Thomson was Edric's only son whom he adored and spoiled. When they found Thomson earlier in the morning, he was in a state of shock and was repeatedly telling them to stay away from Grace. He looked like he had seen a ghost.

Edric's bloodshot eyes looked like they were about to burst out from their sockets. He had to muster all the strength in his body to stop himself from hurting Grace then and there, but his gaze still made her feel uneasy.

She went to look for Liam in his office. His face was filled with exhaustion, and more stubble had grown on his chin.

"Grace."

He was happy to see her.

Grace sat down beside him. "Liam, have you heard what happened to Thomson?"

Liam shook his head and rubbed his eyes a little before returning to review the documents.

"I don't know

the

details, but

someone found him near the company, and it seems that he's been disfigured. He kept calling out your name as well. The executives are all saying that you're the one who did that to him."

Those who sided with Edric were scared witless and began calling in sick, afraid of coming to the office.

In their eyes, Grace was someone who had effortlessly destroyed Thomson, so who was to say they would not become her next target?

Initially, they wanted to help Edric revolt and get their hands on Lambert Group. However, what happened to Thomson felt like a warning to them. They were terribly afraid of moving forward with their plan.

Hence, Edric was the only one who came to challenge Grace.

Grace was even more confused. The day before, Thomson had left on his own, which meant that Yancey could not have been the one who did that to Thomson.

Yancey was a dunce. Even though he was an asshole when it came to relationships, he was not a cruelè person. What was more, in his mind, he had won Thomson. This meant that Thomson was as insignificant as dust to him.

So, who could it have been?noveldrama

She lowered her gaze. Then, she tilted her head and asked Liam, "Did Edric not call the police?"

"He did. You missed it. He called the police an hour ago, and they were here earlier. The thing is, they

checked the surveillance footagen et

and found out that it was Thomson himself who had cut his own face. But Edric refuses to believe it."

After Liam was done talking, he raised his arm and rubbed the back of his hand. "Everything about this feels uncanny. To be honest, I did suspect you of being the one behind it."

In that instant, Grace let out a laugh. "You think I'm that vicious?"

Liam did not say anything. He just knew that Grace was never someone who could be easily trampled on.
