Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan)

Liam was so furious that his face turned red. "You!"

He didn't know what to say to fight back. Pressing his lips together, he didn't want to cause any more trouble for Grace and could only stand in front of her, posing like a protector. "Come on, Grace. Let's go."

He had already packed all his stuff.

Back when they bought the land, the 800 million dollars had come from Quentin himself, which completely drained their cash flow. Now, the money from selling the land naturally went into Liam's account. Even though he had the cash now, he felt empty inside.

Liam followed Grace to the car, still feeling disheartened.

"Grace, I'll transfer all of the money to you. Since we're not coming back to Henderson Group anymore, I might go back to my studies. You shouldn't even be thinking about going back to work. As long as you don't spend recklessly, this money should be enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life."

He didn't want a single cent from the two billion dollars for himself. He wanted to give all of it to Grace.

Grace was a bit tired at this point. After all, she had been stirring up trouble for Edric for the past three days.noveldrama

She yawned. "Just leave the money in your account for now. Do you know what's the most important thing in a company?"

Liam obediently took on the role of the driver and replied earnestly, "I know. It's cash flow."

This was an era where cash was king. Back then, Quentin drained 800 million dollars just to buy the land, which led to Lambert Group's downfall and constant setbacks.

The bigger the company was, the more important it was to manage cash flow. Otherwise, if there was even a slight problem in one aspect, it could easily go bankrupt.

"Liam, don't worry just yet. Let's wait and see."

Grace's voice had a soothing effect, and Liam quickly brushed the thought aside. He tried to comfort himself. Even if things remained the same for the rest of his life, he would still be fine as long as he stayed with Grace.

Liam drove the car to her villa.

To Grace, this matter was pretty much resolved. She promised she would treat Ethan to a meal.

She couldn't risk messing it up this time. She also needed to make time to smooth things over with Ed. She had been so busy lately that she hadn't replied to any of his messages.

After stopping the car, Liam turned around just to realize exhaustion was written all over Grace's face as she slept. He suddenly felt helpless. Because of his incompetence, she had to go through so much.

He didn't wake her up. Instead, he pulled out a blanket from the side and covered her with it, adjusting the seat backward for her as well.

Just as he finished all that, his phone rang. It was a call from the psychiatric hospital saying that Alice had gone missing.

Liam frowned and stepped out of the car to answer the call, not wanting to wake Grace up.

"How could someone just go missing out of the blue?"

Just as he asked that, another call came in. It was from Alice herself.

Liam hung up on the hospital and picked up her call, his tone a little cold. "Alice, please stop causing trouble. Once you're better, I promise I'll send you abroad."

The reason he was doing this was that he didn't want Alice around to upset Grace.

Alice started crying on the other end. "Liam, I can't take this anymore. Do you know how the people in the hospital treat me? They hit me every day, curse at me, and don't even give me food. I really can't stand this. I'd rather die."

Liam didn't fall for her act this time. But she was still family to him, so he still wouldn't want anything bad to happen to her. "Then I can send you away this instant. Now, Lambert Group is depending on Grace and she doesn't want to see you."

All he could think of was Grace. Everything he did was for her.

A hint of viciousness flashed across Alice's eyes, making her grip her phone even more tightly. "I'll send you an address. Come see me. J' stay in Druville for another two

months and then leave. I promise I won't cause any more trouble, okay?"

Thinking back to the times he used to spend with Alice, Liam finally gave in. He

left a note for Grace saying that he was going to head home first, but in reality, he went to see Alice.
