Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 408

Daphne looked smugly at Grace. It was as if she was gloating that as long as she was here, this project wouldn't succeed.

Grace put down the glass in her hand and smiled calmly. "I left Palm Bay two nights ago, and Mr. Henderson didn't do anything to me."

Daphne was so angry that she got up abruptly. "What do you mean? Palm Bay is not a place someone like you can go. You're not even putting effort into your lies."

Grace could tell that Tristan really lacked a mind of his own-he was easily swayed by just a few words from Daphne. It seemed like he truly had someone backing him to get this position.

Her lips curved into a smile as she leaned back. "If you're wondering whether I lied, you can just call Mr. Henderson and ask him."

Daphne's face instantly reddened. She gritted her teeth angrily and then tightened her grip on Tristan's arm. "Let's go, Tris. Don't do business with this woman, or else people will gossip about you. Don't you hate being talked about the most?"

Tristian, who had tried to maintain his composure earlier on, instantly changed his expression upon hearing those words. He became uneasy and quickly got up.

"Ms. Lambert, let's talk about this another day," he said.
