Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan)

"Alice, I heard that Grace sent you to the psychiatric hospital. Tsk tsk, how pitiful. Didn't she look out for you back then? You slut, if it weren't for you, would my eye have been poked out by her?" Jayce cursed.

Alice winced in pain, tears falling from her eyes. She thought this man was insane. She didn't even know him. "I don't know what you're talking about!"

As soon as she said that, he grabbed her hair and slammed her head hard against the car window. "Trying to play games with me, huh? Think carefully!"

Alice was so terrified that her mind was in chaos, and she kept shouting, "Help! Help!"

After being slammed several times, a long-forgotten memory finally resurfaced. She remembered it now. Five years ago, she was 17 years old, and Jayce from her school had taken an interest in her. She had just been brought into the Lambert family at that time. Everyone thought she was not favored there and was eagerly waiting to see her downfall.

Jayce was the same, so after they met at a karaoke joint, he openly claimed that he was interested in her and offered her a chance to live a better life with him.

She had just returned to the Lambert family, and it was her first exposure to the world of the rich, which was full of materialism and luxury. Deep down, she was insecure and timid, so she didn't dare to speak up in front of Jayce.

He, therefore, became even more convinced that she was unwanted in the Lambert family and that she was just a country girl who had recently been brought back.

He spiked a drink with something several times stronger and forced her to drink it. While listening to the mocking laughter of others in the private room, Alice endured the grievance and downed the liquor.

Jayce then dismissed everyone with a wave, saying he was going to have fun with her that night. She kept begging, but it was all in vain. Just as he was about to proceed, Grace showed up.

Alice's memory of this incident was too vague. She only remembered that Grace had an extremely cold expression when she entered the private room. She smashed the beer bottle onto the coffee table and stabbed it right into Jayce's eye.

Alice had never seen such a brutal scene before. Although she was also wicked she would never have dared to do something like that. At that moment, she could only keep screaming.

Due to the intense fear, her brain had automatically blocked out the memory. Now

that it suddenly resurfaced, she was terrified and felt nauseous.

Seeing that, Jayce stopped his actions and kicked her aside. "What's wrong? Have you finally remembered it?"

Alice's whole body ached, and tears streamed down her face.

In fact, when she first joined the Lambert family, Grace had been kind to her. But

the better Grace treated her, the more jealous she became.

She couldn't admit it as it would make her appear vile. She would feel as if she

were the only one in the Lambert family who was despicable and filthy.

Thus, she was determined to take everything that belonged to Grace.noveldrama

She was still crying when Jayce grabbed her chin firmly. "Why are you crying? Is it because your good sister disregarded the past and sent you to a psychiatric hospital? Back then, she risked offending me to save you, and I remember you seemed pretty grateful to her."

She covered her ears and mumbled, "Shut up! Grace isn't my sister. She's just a bitch, a bitch!"

Her heart was filled with fear, anxiety, and hatred for Grace. She wished that Grace never existed in this world.
