Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 120

---- Chapter 120 Indeed, Sidney didn't sleep a wink that night. When he got up the next morning, dark circles ringed his eyes, and he felt completely out of it the whole drive to the hospital. He didn't fully snap back to reality until he sat at his desk, only to look up and see Alice walking in. She still had that smug, entitled look on her face as she eyed him like he was a nobody. "Didn't I tell you to quit already?" Sidney flinched and stepped back, his lips trembling. "Ms.

Lambert, I got dragged into this. You can't just use me and throw me out. We live in a lawful society." Disgust flickered in her eyes. Sidney talked too much.

Grace let go of her wrist, calm as ever. "I didn't do anything wrong. I've got nothing to feel guilty about. Why wouldn't I show up?" "Oh please, you think you're innocent? Do you

her gaze and started walking away, but Yancey stepped in front of her and said, "Is that really how you

wedlock?" She lowered her head and wiped the tears

Yancey had been gearing up to tear into her, but looking at her teary eyes and hearing her trembling voice, he suddenly couldn't say a word. ---- Until now, Grace had always come at him full-force, never once backing down. She had gone

what... What are you trying to say?" "You really don't get it? Alice was never pregnant. This whole thing-every bit of it-was staged. But no one in the Lambert family or in the entire Druville is willing to believe me. I came here today to set the record straight.
