Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 285

Grace looked through the surveillance footage once more. The incident had taken place before dawn, so only a vague shadow could be seen. The footage clearly showed Thomson hurting himself. He seemed to not be in the right state of mind, but he was clearly fine the day before.

Regardless of who the real culprit was, this incident did act as a deterrent to stop the executives from brazenly making things difficult for Grace and Liam.

She reached over and gave Liam's hair a tousle. "Go over these documents first. Those executives won't be trying anything for the time being as they're scared. You do have to be cautious about Edric, though. If he asks you to meet, you must give me a call."

Liam was still learning the ropes. Since he was a smart person, it would not be long before he joined the elites of Druville.

In order for their late father to be at ease, Grace would do everything she could to protect Liam.

Liam's eyes were bloodshot. He had so much on his plate lately that he did not even have the energy to think about all the things that had happened to their family. Seeing how Grace was concerned about him, he became teary.

The tears were about to fall from his eyes, but he had promised her at Quentin's funeral that he would never shed a tear again. Immediately, he forced his tears back in. "You be careful too, Grace."

A pang of tenderness struck Grace. Quentin had died, and Carmen had become a nun.

Her affection toward her parents was not deep. However, they had treated Liam pretty well, so the entire situation definitely had a bigger impact on him.

She sat in front of him, sorted all of the company's documents from recent years, and settled on the project that she had worked on before.

This was the project that Alice had signed with Henderson Group. In order to save the company from jeopardy, Grace terminated the contract unilaterally by exploiting loopholes in the wording of the contract. Now, that plot of land would no longer be used to build a mall.

Similar to the Yule family's projects, the land would be used for residential development. However, all of the land nearby belonged to the Yule family. With that family's strong financial resources, there was no way the Lamberts—especially in their current state—could compete with them.

This project was very important to Lambert Group. Even if they manage to defeat Edric, it would be pointless if they were not going to make a huge profit out of it.
