Regret Came Too Late

The bodyguard didn't know the car belonged to Grace, and the security footage showed another woman damaging it—someone completely unrelated to Jodie.

Jodie's face lit up with delight, and she immediately started yelling toward the next room.

"Grace, you bitch! How dare you frame me?"

The police station had good soundproofing, so Grace could only see Ethan talking to Jodie, but she couldn't hear what they were saying.

When she heard how loudly Jodie was screaming, she walked out.

Jodie immediately straightened up. "So you were trying to blame me for what happened to your car! You're seriously twisted. Yancey, why are you siding with her? I swear I didn't do anything to her car."

Grace looked over at Ethan.

That was also when Ethan realized that the person Jodie had been fighting with was Grace.

Grace's expression remained calm. "Ms. Henderson, you confronted me moments before my car was vandalized. Who else could it be?"

Jodie started to cry again. She turned back and kneeled before Ethan, tugging on his sleeve.

"Uncle Ethan, look at her!"

Ethan's hand, resting at his side, tightened slightly. He looked down as he said, "It wasn't her."

Grace knew Ethan doted on Jodie, but she hadn't realized the extent of his favoritism.

She opened her mouth, unsure what to say.

On the other hand, Jodie looked at her with a smug expression.

A fire burned in Grace's chest, but she knew that as long as Ethan sided with Jodie, there was no way out of this.
