Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 159

---- Chapter 159 Alice was clenching her fists by her side so tightly that her palm was almost bleeding. Her face bore a forced smile. "No, it's okay. I should apologize to you for what happened last time," she said through gritted teeth. Grace inspected the handbag. She had to admit, Liam really had a good eye for things like this. At least this was a handbag she could carry in public. It wasn't too eye-catching, yet elegant.

She raised her hand and ran her fingers through his hair, giving him a gentle scruff. "Thank you." Liam suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He had actually been feeling guilty over the last time he helped convince Grace to admit something she didn't do in the first place.

Alice was only acting so calm right now because she was forcing herself to hold it together. "Yancey wants me to tell you that everything that happened in the past is in the past, and he also hopes that you can get over it soon." Grace found this very ironic and looked up at her. "T really wish he meant what he said. It's clear that I've already moved on, but he hasn't. He was following me around all day, and I couldn't lose him no matter what I did.

have a word with him about that instead?" Alice's face turned pale in an instant, and she felt like she was about to collapse. She wanted to come here and taunt Grace, but everything she had said so far had backfired. The tension in the room grew more suffocating for a moment. Grace, however, remained calm as she turned

Otherwise, she wouldn't have a single clue about where to look first. She opened the small drawer but didn't end up finding anything useful in there. There was only a rather thin notebook with a single sentence written on the cover that said, "Do not trust Ethan." Her grip on the notebook immediately tightened , and even her breathing turned softer. Did she write this herself

"If you ask me, we might have to take some extreme measures at this point." It was Carmen's voice. She sounded so enraged that she even started bringing up the possibility of hiring a professional assassin. Alice's sobbing could also be heard. She

They want 30 million dollars!" ---- Grace wasn't familiar with Alice's foster family, and she couldn't care less about them either. She was just going to leave the house.
