Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 319

The share transfer was finalized the next day. Liam was thrilled and kept talking excitedly around Grace.

Meanwhile, Grace remained somewhat distant. Only after confirming that all of Edric's shares had been officially transferred to Liam's name did she finally agree to let him wire the money back.

Once the transaction was complete, Liam even wished Edric well as he was about to get in the car. "Mr. Trenholm, I wish you all the best from now on."

Edric forced a smile and patted him on the shoulder. "I'm sure your father will be proud of you if he can see you now. Take good care of the company. Under your leadership, it'll surely thrive."

Liam nodded. After the car drove off, he turned to look at Grace.

"Grace!" He was brimming with excitement and admiration. "How did you pull that off? You're amazing!"

Grace looked at his earnest face and ruffled his hair. She knew Edric was bound to have a backup plan, though she still wasn't sure what it was.

Liam, still full of enthusiasm, even asked her on the way home. "You've been with your boyfriend for so long. Isn't it about time for me to meet him? I am your only family now, after all."

Grace was slightly distracted in the passenger seat. Still, she reminded him. "From now on, be cautious in everything you do. I've asked Mr. Fenwick to work with you. He's reliable. Ask him if you don't understand anything."

She wasn't feeling optimistic. Back when Quentin was alive, he had pinned his hope on that plot of land to revive the company. Now that the land had turned into a mess, she needed to figure out new ways to bring in business for the shaky company.

Hearing her say that, Liam's smile faded slightly. "I understand. I'll do my best to learn."
