Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 85

The Lambert family and Lily moved fast.

Grace was still recovering at home when she received a call from Joanne. "Grace, are you marrying Hendricks?"

Grace's hand froze as she frowned. "Who told you that?"

Joanne replied, "Hendricks got drunk at Velvet Eclipse today and told everyone you were his future wife. He even said that the Lambert family has acknowledged it and that your wedding is at the end of the month. Other people were there too. They said that the Lambert family invited them to it."

Grace immediately felt an uneasy feeling in her heart. She pulled out her phone to call Yancey, but he didn't pick up. She had a bad feeling in her heart, so she called Liam instead.

Liam answered with a cheerful tone. "Grace, didn't Hendricks say he was picking you up for your wedding dress fitting? The housekeeper is going to book the venue today."

He added, "You're about to get married, so why aren't you back yet? I saw the dresses this afternoon and thought you already tried them."

So, everyone knew she was getting married—except her.

Grace felt that the situation was completely ridiculous.

She took a deep breath. After she hung up, she still felt a suffocating feeling in her chest. Not a single person had asked her about this. It was as if she had no rights. They just needed to drag her to the venue at the right time.

Anger flooded her mind.

She took out the documents that Ethan had given her and meticulously reviewed each name. Her gaze finally settled on Lily's name.

She wouldn't just sit there and let them make a joke out of her. She would make sure she humiliated Lily first.

Grace immediately thought of Yelena. Grace had only interacted with Yelena once, but it was obvious how greedy Yelena was. Yelena probably resented Lily for marrying into wealth, and jealousy was the deadliest poison for women.

Grace had Yelena's number. After work, she went to look for Yelena.

Yelena was delighted to receive Grace's all. Every time Grace reached out, it meant a windfall for her. In her eyes, Grace was nothing more than a walking fortune.

Yelena was still bitter about the handbag from last time, but Yancey had probably already scolded Grace for it. Grace was definitely calling to make amends.

Three hundred thousand dollars. That was all she would ask for this time.

It was a drop in the ocean for a rich heiress like Grace.

Yelena got more excited the more she thought about it. She didn't even feel like playing poker anymore and started packing up to leave.

But her poker friends weren't happy about it. "Yelena, are you going to leave now? You still owe all of us five thousand dollars. Shouldn't you settle that first?"

Yelena scoffed and flashed the bangle on her wrist. "Five thousand dollars? What's the rush? This bracelet is worth a hundred thousand dollars, but I just don't feel like selling it right now. I'm about to get 300 thousand dollars soon, so you'll get your money back."
