Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Grace finished eating and was about to leave when she hesitated and asked, Can you lend me some money? Joanne took a deep breath.

You spent 200 thousand dollars on a pair of cufflinks for Yancey last week, and now youre telling me youre broke? Grace awkwardly scratched her cheek.

I had to borrow money just to pay my hospital bill yesterday.

Ill pay you back.

Joanne transferred ten thousand dollars to her and patted her shoulder.

Your family cut off your spending ages ago.

But instead of saving for yourself, you kept using your money to buy gifts for Yancey and even tried to win over his relatives.

Theres no point lecturing you on this.

You dont have to pay me back.

If you dont have anywhere to stay tonight, just come back here.

Grace felt a wave of gratitude for Joanne.

Since she had decided to apply for a job at Henderson Group, she needed to return home to find her ID and other important documents.

When she arrived at the Lambert residence, she felt a little uneasy as she rang the doorbell.

A young mans voice called out from inside.

Who is it? The door swung open, and Liam stood there.

The moment he saw her, his face darkened with frustration.

Grace, what the hell? Didnt I tell you to come back early and make breakfast? Youre just getting home now? Hurry up, Im starving.

Grace looked at the tall, handsome young man standing in front of her, then lowered her head and slowly changed her shoes at the entrance.

Dont we have a housekeeper? The housekeepers food isnt as good as yours.

Whats wrong with you? Youve been doing this for so long, and now you suddenly want to act differently? Cooking for the family is your responsibility, isnt it? Even when you had a high fever before, you still cooked for us.

Mom would praise you, and youd be happy about it for hours.

Grace felt a heavy weight in her chest after hearing that.

Her gaze drifted to the couch.

Alice, Carmen, and her father, Quentin Lambert, were all sitting there.

The moment Carmen saw her, she scoffed, I thought you werent coming to cook today.

Looks like you couldnt keep up the act.

Go to the kitchen.
