Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 410 After getting out of Tristan's car, Daphne immediately called Jodie.

"Jodie, guess what? I just ruined Grace's project! The look on her face was absolutely horrible. I bet she won't act all high and mighty in front ofever again!" Jodie's eyes were surrounded by dark circles. Upon hearing that, a rare flicker of emotion flashed in her eyes.

Ever since the banquet, Jodie had locked herself up in her room. She refused to eat or drink anything, not even stepping outside of her own room. She couldn't stand the thought of Ethan and Grace getting intimate with each other.

She had been crying so much that her eyes turned swollen, and she really wished Grace could die right away. The housekeeper had been knocking outside her room, but Jodie didn't respond. Now, someone was knocking again. But this time, it was Yancey's voice.

"How long are you planning to lock yourself in there?" he asked.

Jodie hung up her phone, wiped her tears away, and opened the door.

"Yancey." Upon looking at her swollen eyes, Yancey handed over a tissue to her. "What are you upset about? Ethan clearly dotes on you. Now that he has found someone, you should be happy for him instead." Jodie was a bit embarrassed to admit this. In the eyes of the Hendersons, she was merely a younger family member to Ethan, so harboring feelings like that was definitely unacceptable.

Yancey's gaze flickered a few times before he turned around and spoke calmly.

"Besides, Grandpa has been recovering lately. He was so upset with Mom a while ago that he shut himself in and refused to see anyone. If Grandpa finds out about this, Ethan is going to have a hard texplaining to him, so don't cause too much trouble." Jodie's eyes suddenly lit up.

Exactly! Would it still end well for Grace if Jordan found out about this? Jordan was the one who valued Ethan the most in the entire Henderson family, always pinning high hopes on him. Any woman worthy of standing by Ethan's side must be an elite of the socialite circle. So, who did Grace think she was? Jodie quickly changed her clothes and hurriedly ran downstairs.

"Yancey, I need to head out to deal with something. I won't be hfor dinner." Yancey watched as she left, and he pressed his lips into a thin, cold line.

Jodie arrived at Henderson Residence soon after.

Recently, Lily had shown up and caused a huge scene several times because Andrew was having an affair, giving Jordan a massive headache. It made Jordan so upset that he even shut himself off from everyone.

Even though Jodie made it through the main gate, she wasn't allowed to set foot in the entrance hall inside. All she could do was shout from outside.

"Grandpa, the scandal between Uncle Ethan and Grace is getting out of hand! You have to do something about it. Otherwise, she's going to ruin him!" "Grandpa!" "I'm doing this for Uncle Ethan's own good!" She was relentless, screaming downstairs for an entire hour until her voice turned hoarse. Just then, the door to the hall slowly opened up.

The entire estate exuded an aura of solemnity. After wiping her tears, Jodie quickly followed the butler upstairs to the study room.

Jordan had been cultivating peace of mind lately. He usually either played chess with the butler or practised calligraphy, and he even refused to see anyone.

Jodie pushed open the door to the study room and kneeled directly in front of the desk.

"Grandpa, do you know that during the banquet a few days ago, Grace forced herself onto Uncle Ethan and kissed him in front of everyone?" Jordan paused for a second, and a thick drop of ink fell from the fountain pen in his hand onto the pristine paper. But he quickly regained his composure and proceeded to ask, "Did Ethan say anything?" Jodie pressed her lips together, slowly clenching her fist at her side.

"Uncle Ethan couldn't move his leg, so he couldn't fight back. But Tim eventually helped him push Grace away Grandpa, Grace had already ruined Yancey. I can't let her do the sto Uncle Ethan.

"Because of her, Yancey has been too troubled to eat or drink, and is constantly in a terrible state. I think she just enjoys the feeling of toying with the men in the Henderson family.

"Besides, she just met up with Dylan a while ago. Didn't he get seriously injured recently? I suspect that his is what she has been doing all along. She's trying to ruin our family!" Jodie spoke with such agitation, her chest heaving rapidly.

But Jordan steadily put down his pen and gestured to the butter beside him to call Ethan. Ethan was at Palm Bay today and wasn't planning to head out. As he looked at the shirt hanging inside his closet, he answered the call.

"Dad." "Ethan, what are you doing right now?" Jordan asked.

The collar on the shirt had a faint lipstick stain, and the area around the chest was wrinkled. His fingertip brushed over the sleeve, and he calmly responded, "At home." "I set you up with a few women before, but you said none of them clicked. You're not young anymore. Stop makingmake all these arrangements for you." "I know." There was a subtle scent on the shirt.

"I don't want to hear any more scandals between you and Grace." "Dad, I'm not close with her."

Ethan lowered his head and gently sniffed at the cuff, He casthi eyes down, his gaze clouded with darkness. "I don't like her."
