Regret Came Too Late

No matter how cacophonous the world was outside, it was quiet in Ethan's place.

Grace had been kneeling in the living area of Palm Bay for four whole hours. Her knees had already gotten

numb, but she dared not stand up because she was not sure if Ethan would drag anyone else into this because

of her.

Kneeling on the ground brought a lot of pain to her knees, making her inch toward the couch.

After Ethan went upstairs, he never cback down again. There were no maids in the villa as well. It was

completely empty.

Grace yawned. She had been up all night with Lyle as they watched over Lucian last night.

Feeling all tired and sleepy, she accidentally fell asleep while she was leaning against the couch. She had even

pulled over the pillow from the corner of the couch while she was still deep in her dreams. She fell asleep with

her upper body resting on the couch.

She had been sound asleep all night until a sound woke her up at midnight. It sounded like someone was coming

downstairs. When she realized she was hugging a pillow, she threw it to the side and went back to her kneeling

position. However, Ethan was already sitting right beside her when she lifted her head.

It shocked her greatly. When did he get here? Did he see her take a nap?

But he did not even look at her and just focused on flipping through the documents in his hand.

Grace did not dare to make a sound either. She was starting to suspect that Jodie was not actually seriously

injured. Otherwise, given how much he treasured Jodie, he would have already had her killed by now.

Grace lowered her head. She could hear Tim walking down the stairs and making his way toward Ethan. He

spoke in a deferential tone.

"Mr. Henderson Senior wants to see you."

After what happened with Jodie, Jordan was confident that things were not that simple between Ethan and Grace

—or at least that was the case for Ethan.

Ethan had caused a great deal of commotion with Jodie's matter this time. It was a slap in the face for Jordan.

Everyone in the Henderson family was waiting with bated breath, eager to see how he would clean up the mess

this time.

Out of the corners of his eyes, Tim could see that Grace was eavesdropping, so he added a few more details.

"The rest of the Henderson family is here. Me. Henderson Senior even had someone bring Dylan over."

The message was clear-it was a trap.

It was going to be a literal interrogation site over there, and all that was left was for Ethan to go over.

Ethan remained as nonchalant as ever. "Mhm" was the only answer he gave.

His nonchalance made it seem like the smashed glass lying on the floor beside her had all been nothing but a

halluémation. Could it be that Grace was the only person Ethan fet see his emotional side? s

She was afraid to even utter a single word. Then, she heard a sound coming from the wheelchair. When the

wheelchair passed her by, she straightened her posture

even more.

She was curious. What was Jordan's purpose in summoning Ethan over? Perhaps it was because of Jodie?

If what happened to Jodie was such a huge deal, then why hadn't Ethan ended

her life as a way to vent his anger? She could not understand.

It was as if she could never figure out anything that had to do with him.

This was because Ethan was an

ecause

enigmatic person. All of his

emotions were hidden beneath the

surface. Like an iceberg, only a small portion could be seen on the surface while no one knew what lay beneath,

the surface. s

Perhaps this was the scariest thing in the world.

As Grace was still immersed in her thoughts, Tim cover to her, snatched her phone, and tossed it around in

his hands before he finally grabbed the remote control and turned the TV on.

Stabloid news was being broadcast on the TV. Among the most sensational news was that of Jack Quinn's.

Grace had heard

It was a nGr

before. After all, she often followed

Quentin around to meet people back often. When the case broke out, dozens of people talked about Jack and

how he had made a lot people's lives miserable. s

She looked at Tim with a confused expression. She thought that Tim was showing her the tabloid news because

he was worried she would be bored out of her mind.

Right away, however, a very familiar nwas mentioned on the TV-Jodie Henderson.

She thought that she had misheard it and looked at the TV screen.

The host mentioned that Jodie was the daughter Jack had left behind. The netizens were now demanding to have

Jodie kicked out of Eldoria. As of now, the Hendersons had yet to respond to this.

Jodie was Jack's daughter?

Grace knew that Jodie was not related to the Hendersons by blood, but how did

the news of her real identity get leaked to the public?

It could not have been Ethan because he had always been forgiving and compassionate toward Jodie.

Grace began to wonder if the Hendersons had seen the news and were thinking

of casting her out, only to be stopped by Ethan. This was probably why he was being told to go over.

It all made sense to her now.

She snickered internally, thinking about how Jodie deserved this. She just had to

be Jack Quinn's daughter. Back in the day, he was literally the devil in everyone's eyes!
