Regret Came Too Late

Sebastian pushed up his glasses and pointed at the document in his hands.

"Something about this feels off. This is a very famous overseas company. Why would they suddenly want to

collaborate with the Lambert family? But I've investigated that company's reputation, and everything seems

solid. Their past collaborations were always with reputable families in Eastoria.

"So, I'm afraid there's a hidden motive behind their sudden interest in our company. | wanted to discuss this with

Ms. Lambert, but | can't get in touch with her," Sebastian explained.

Still dazed, Liam sat down, but the words on the page just wouldn't register. After a long time, he finally asked,

"Sebastian, do you think Grace cares aboutat all?"

If Grace really cared about him, then there was no reason for her not to believe in him when he got into trouble.

It was because she didn't believe in him that made him do things to this extent out of anger.

"Whether she has her memories or not, Ms. Lambert treats you very well, and no one can say otherwise,"

Sebastian replied.

Liam gave a weak smile. "What if she did something unforgivable and has been trying to make it up to me?"

For example, maybe Grace had taken the place of the real eldest daughter of the Lambert family. Liam had

actually seen the writings carved on the small gravestone that snowy night-it was Quentin's handwriting.

Back then, Quentin had brought his gravely ill eldest daughter all over the country in search of a cure. When all

hope was lost even in a large city like Druville, he could only turn to alternative medicine and folk remedies.

With no options left, they could only go to the countryside as a desperate last resort and hope for a miracle.

Liam had always been very suspicious of why Grace, who had been in the ICU all year round, could recover after

just one trip to the countryside.

Liam rubbed the area between his eyes and then suddenly remembered Sebastian had also been working for

Quentin during those years.

"Sebastian, do you still remember what Grace looked like when she was little?" Liam asked.

He remembered Sebastian was already working for the Lambert family before Quentin started looking for

medical help for Grace.

Sebastian lowered his gaze as he answered in a calm tone, "Ms. Lambert had to stay in a specific type of room at

that time. Her body was so weak that even outside air was poisonous to her. So, | never saw her when she was

young."

Just when Liam picked up a pen from the side and was about to sign the document, he suddenly remembered

what Grace had told him and paused.

He carefully went through the document, and he was sure there wasn't any obvious problem with it. But just as

Sebastian had mentioned, why would such a good opportunity fall into the Lambert family's hands for no

apparent reason?

Liam put down the pen and returned the document to Sebastian.

"I won't sign this right now. Let's wait for Grace's instructions. | need to head back to the countryside."

This was when Sebastian asked, "Mr. Liam, your eyes are swollen. Did something happen?"

Liam was only 20. If he were still the sas before, he would have started crying by now. But at this moment,

he just shook his head and slowly stood up.

"Grace has done a lot to keep the company afloat. We should hold on for a few more years. As for this new

business partner, she can decide for herself Liam avoided the question. He was just about to walk out of the

room before he heard Sebastian continue talking. s

"Your mental health is not so great now. | think you should stay at hand rest for a few days. Most of the

people at the company are still on leave. Even if you

want to do something, you still need to discuss it with me.

"Mr. Lambert, haven't you ever thought about it? It's because you never say anything and keep hiding things

from Ms. Lambert that you're causing so much trouble for her."

Sebastian's words were like a bomb that shook Liam's mind.

Liam didn't want to cause trouble for Grace, and that had been his goal for so long. Because of that, he didn't

want to tell her anything, but it had made everything even more complicated than before.

Liam cback and sat down again, his tone very calm and indifferent.

"I want to look into Grace's actual

background now know she's not from the Lambert family. My dad built the Lambert Group from nothing. If I say |

don't want the Company to fall into the hands of an outsider, would you think I'm being heartless?" s

Sebastian had been working by Quentin's side for all these years. He was clearly attached to the company as

well and should be a good person to talk to about

this.

Sebastian suddenly let out a smile as he looked out of the window at the night

sky.

"Mr. Lambert, blood relations don't mean much. It's not like bloodshed in powerful families is something new. In

my opinion, Ms. Lambert is someone who rarely lets her emotions show and also knows how to ride her

strengths At the very

least, she has never treated you. poorly-whether in public or in private. s

"She may have kept things from you, but how do you know she didn't have her reasons for doing so? Besides,

she has never wanted the company for herself." Sebastian tried to persuade Liam.

Even an outsider like him could see Grace's intentions clearly, yet Liam still doubted her. It was no wonder that

Grace felt disappointed.
