Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 200

---- Chapter 200 Grace's priority now was figuring out how to get Lambert Group's project back. This project involved billions of dollars. It was just a mid-sized venture for Henderson Group, given their massive scale. But the contract was already signed. It was too late for Lambert Group to back out. Henderson Group knew this, and they wouldn't possibly let such a profitable opportunity slip away.

Though she and Ethan had been getting along well lately, she had no right to expect him to terminate this contract just to please her. Grace took a deep breath. Exhaustion was written all over her face after staying up all night and rushing to Henderson Group. Sitting at her desk, she carefully reviewed the project with Lambert Group. Quentin valued this project so highly because no other companies were involved -Lambert Group had total control over it.

'The original plan was to build a massive shopping mall. Shortly after purchasing the land, the Yule family announced they would construct nearby residential buildings , making the mall the perfect choice. To some extent, the Yule family's decision had helped make the Lamberts' project successful. Quentin had been incredibly ---- lucky when he acquired the land. Originally worthless, a series of developments had transformed it into a goldmine.

The contract Alice had given to Henderson Group included a clause stating that all businesses in the mall would come from Henderson Group's brands. Without investing a penny, Henderson could place their brands throughout the mall. Working backward, if Lambert Group didn't build a mall, that clause wouldn't apply. Alice's contract had been irregular to begin with. When she came to deliver it the second time, Grace had interrupted her before she could make any revisions.

Group as a Lambert representative would seem like a slap in the face. Backing out after

workday, she received a text from the man with the black profile picture. It was a hotel room number. She was stressed out, and she didn't feel like going home anyway. The man had left just one message. "I'm waiting for you here." Grace sighed and drove straight there. She knew this hotel. It ---- was quite famous, and it was owned by the Yule family, if she remembered correctly. When she opened the door,

His hand gently patted her back, occasionally turning to peck her cheek. Perhaps, escaping into this kind of indulgence whenever she felt stressed out wouldn't be such a

Grace ---- instinctively pointed her toes, her hands losing strength as they grasped his hair. Her mind went blank as waves of pleasure washed over her. She could even feel his teeth marks on her calves. It felt

The man stood up and held her. For someone his height, she 'was quite small, clinging to his waist like a koala. She leaned against the headboard to calm herself, feeling his fingertips trace the teeth marks on her calf, which still hurt. She tried to pull her leg back, but he held it firmly. He was
