Regret Came Too Late

Grace really hid her boyfriend too well. No one knew where he lived or what he looked like-not even Yancey.

Joanne lightly tapped her fingers on the table. "We just need to use that boyfriend of hers to create a

misunderstanding between Grace and Ethan. Grace is already in my hands now. Letsee if you're capable of

handling her boyfriend."

After taking out a pen and a piece of paper, she wrote an address on the paper. It was where Grace had been

locked up. She slowly slid the paper toward Yancey.

"Mr. Henderson, I'll leave the rest to you."

This was what made Joanne so clever. She would never let herself be exposed to danger. If there was someone

she could use, she would not hesitate for a second.

Even if Ethan started investigating the matter, someone as proud as Yancey would never sell her out. She could

continue lying low near Grace for a long time.

As she thought about this, the corners of her lips curled up.

When she stood up and grabbed her bag, she only said, "I'll only lock her up until tomorrow morning. If you

decide not to do anything, then I'll proceed with my original plans."

She had always been pretty patient, especially anything related to Grace. She would never rush things, and that

was why she could succeed every time.

As Yancey looked at the address in front of him, he pressed his lips into a thin line and called Liam in the end. If

there was anyone who knew more information about Grace's boyfriend, that would be Liam.

But Liam's voice was very hoarse when he answered the call. His tone was also unusually low, and his entire

demeanor carried a sense of devastation.

Yancey took a deep breath and asked Liam, "Do you know Grace's boyfriend's phone number? His address works

too."

Liam did know Ed's phone number. He casually rolled over in bed, but a trace of caution crept into his mind, and

he becmore wary than before.

To be honest, he didn't really like Yancey. It was because of Yancey that Grace and Alice turned against each

other, making the Lambert family into a mess. If he thought about it, Yancey was actually a very irresponsible

man.

Liam gave a small smile and replied, "No, | don't know."

Liam hated the man hiding behind Grace even more. Even though they hadn't met, he had already caught a

glimpse of the cunning and calculation lurking beneath that man's surface.

He didn't want anyone to bother Joanne when she was helping Grace to regain her memories. He thought all his

questions would be answered once Grace regained her memories.

Yancey furrowed his brows and lowered his tone. "Liam, | need it to help Grace."

Liam immediately sat up from his bed, his tone aggressive. "If you really wanted to help her, then you wouldn't

have let her be the laughingstock of Druville all these years!"

Yancey was instantly at a loss for words. He didn't know Liam had been holding a grudge against him over this.

Why hadn't he brought it up before?

Liam didn't even know why he had been feeling so restless lately. Maybe it was Andrea's death, the loss of the

child, the way his family had fallen apart, or maybe

it was because he hadn't gotten the answers he wanted from Grace.

He wanted to know if Grace was only after the Lamberts’ assets or if she really cared about him—her so-called

brother. He was almost at the edge of his sanity and wanted to grab something as his final straw.

He immediately hung up the phone and weakly fell back into his bed.

A maid knocked on the door. "Mr. Lambert, do you want something to eat?"

Liam buried his head under the pillow in frustration as if this could stop him from thinking about anything.

But after half an hour, someone was knocking on his door again. This time, Sebastian's voice was heard.

"I couldn't find Ms. Lambert, so | could only cto find you. | have a very important document that | need you

to sign."

Liam got up and opened his bedroom door. When he looked at Sebastian, fully dressed in a suit and a tie, he

found it amusing.

"Didn't you check the tbefore coming here?" Liam asked sarcastically.

Sebastian was still working at 3:00 am!

After adjusting his glasses, Sebastian went straight into Liam's room.

"This document is very important, but | can't get in touch with Ms. Lambert. Her house is also empty. | don't

know where she went. Do you know anything?" Sebastian asked.

Liam was worried Sebastian might call the police, so he wanted to say Grace had gone on a vacation. But when

he lowered his head and looked at the document, he couldn't say a thing.

It really was a very important document. It was so important that only Grace, the CEO of the company, could

sign her non it.

Grace had done a lot to save Lambert Group. She even invested in several scripts to bring in revenue and signed

two new artists.

This time, a prominent overseas company expressed their interest in forming a long-term collaboration with the

Lamberts’ electronics business.

A hint of surprise flashed across Liam's eyes as he hesitantly raised his head. "You wantto sign this

contract?"

His voice was filled with disbelief as his hands tightly gripped the document, almost tearing it into shreds.

"Mr. Lambert, hasn't Ms. Lambert told you before? If she isn't around, all company matters can be referred to

you. She has seen your previous efforts, and she toldbefore that you can definitely shoulder Lambert

Group's future."

Liam pressed his lips together and walked off to the side, looking a bit numb. "Isn't she afraid that I'll mess

everything up? Or maybe take Lambert Group away from her?"

Sebastian wayed his hand in front of

wayed

Liam's face as if thinking he was sleep-talking. "When you got in trouble back then, the intewas flooded with

criticism. Ms. Lambert had the company's official account make a public apology, donated five million dollars in

the company. name, and purged the company inside out just to barely protect your reputation. s

Oooo o

"Even though all of your shares had to be given out, the shares didn't entirely go into Ms. Lambert's hands. She

contacted a trustee agency, and theyre and theyre the ones managing all of the shares now. She also promised

that no one not even her-can touch or sell your shares until you becindependent. s

"So, Lambert Group is still technically yours. It's just that you still don't have the

capability to be in command at the moment," Sebastian explained.

Liam's face instantly paled.

Not only was he forced to give up his shares at that time, but he had also been locked up. During that period, he

thought that Grace had already abandoned him. Then when he found out that Grace and Jasper were getting

close, it felt like a knife had driven into his heart. s

He thought Grace had done everything for the shares, but it turned out she never

got them after all that effort. Why had she never told him any of this?
