On the other hand, Yancey was extremely delighted, and his tone noticeably sounded more cheerful "Grace, leaving Henderson Group was the right decision. I told you before that Uncle Ethan isn't a good person. Maybe the reason he promoted you to the top floor was only because he's interested in you," Yancey said. As soon as he said that, Alice suddenly burst into laughter. "Do you really think Mr.

"Yancey, haven't I told you this before? I once ran into Mr. Ethan, and when I mentioned Grace, his expression was full of disdain.
"Someone even asked him what he thought of her, and he said that meeting her in person was worse than hearing about her." Him saying, "Meeting her in person was worse than hearing about her", was an understatement, especially when everyone in Druville knew about Grace's name. Her reputation as Yancey's lapdog was well-established throughout the whole town. Alice laughed harder and harder. But in the end, perhaps afraid of breaking her persona, she toned it down alittle.
"Grace, don't feel bad about it. Mr. Ethan treats all women like this. ---- Grace's mood suddenly soured even more The car cto a stop at a certain point, and Yancey quickly pointed outside at a flower shop. "Look, Grace! Do you remember this place? When we graduated from high school, you bought flowers forhere. "We took our graduation photo together. I even made you a flower crown, but you thought it was ugly and threw a tantrum at me." Grace glanced at Alice.
She found it funny that Alice's expression had turned grim. Yancey continued reminiscing. "Back then, there was a trend at school where students would give the second button of their uniform to someone they liked. I originally wanted to give you mine, but your uniform was stolen, so you weren't even wearing it on graduation day." He was talking about their high school days, back when Alice hadn't reunited with the Lamberts yet.

Maybe seeing familiar places will help you remember things." 'As soon as he finished his sentence, Alice's voice rang out. "Yancey! Her chest was heaving violently, and her face grew paler by the ---- second. It was only then that Yancey realized he had just tried on wedding outfits with this woman earlier today. Awkwardly, he stepped on the gas pedal and drove off. Meanwhile, Grace could feel the intense hatred radiating from Alice.

Her eyes lit up when she saw a few cards inside, but the handwriting on the cards wasn't hers.
It seemed like the handwriting belonged to a man as it looked bold and strong, with a carefree vibe. "T'll cget you once everything isn over." "Happy birthday, Grace. There were only two cards, with nothing else except these words. Grace even wondered if she should check for any hidden chips inside them. But they were just ordinary greeting cards. The fact that these two cards had been hidden in such a secret spot showed just how important they had been to her.
