Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 128

Yancey gripped his phone tightly, feeling completely humiliated.

He then took a deep breath and said, "Check the news yourselves! The audio recording between Alice and the doctor is all over the internet. Do you have any idea how many people are laughing at me right now? Calling me a fool who got played by a devious woman who's been putting on an innocent front!"

He spun around, furious, and stormed toward the door.

It was the first time Alice had ever seen him like this. He had never gotten mad at her before. Panic surged through her, and she ran after him while pulling out her phone.

"Yancey, what news are you talking about? I don't know anything about this. I swear, I don't know!"

She tapped open the trending recording, and the moment the audio started playing, her face went pale.

Carmen and Liam were frozen in place too, completely stunned and unable to believe what they were hearing.

Alice's eyes filled with panic as she quickly tried to deny it. "It's fake! It's been doctored! It's all Grace! She faked it! She's framing me!"

She burst into tears.

Carmen didn't hesitate to believe her. The voice in the recording sounded too vicious. It didn't sound anything like the sweet, gentle Alice she knew.

Yancey didn't move. Watching her cry used to make his heart ache. But now, all he felt was irritation. How could someone have so many tears on command? Why didn't Grace ever cry like this?

He turned to leave again, but Alice lunged for his sleeve.

"Yancey, I swear to God, this isn't me. Technology these days can fake anything. I swear on my life, that's not my voice in the recording."

Yancey's brows stayed furrowed, his head spinning. "I need to go home and calm down. Take care of yourself."
