Chapter Bj
Lay and the others were furious when they couldn’t hinder Grace. Hendricks hadn’t expected Grace to escape again when she was right in front of him. “One woman! Look into who was in that car. What was the license plate?” Shand slapped a bodyguard’s hand across the face. “Useless! You can’t even find—”
The bodyguard reported the plate number and, with an air of emphasis, added, “That car had a small flag in the front that wasn’t too noticeable.”
Yancey immediately jumped up in shock. “That’s impossible! TM” In all of Deuville, the only person allowed to display a small flag at the front of their car was Ethan, but Eihan hadn’t been here in years. Tack then, Frhan’s legs had been crippled because of Grace. He probably hated her to the core, so why would he pick Grace up? The bodyguards must have been mistaken.
Yancey, feeling uneasy, turned to Lily. “Mom, just look at what happened to the rotten plan you came up with.”
Lily took a deep breath and patted him on the shoulder. “Yancey, why do you get so worked up whenever Grace is mentioned?”
It seemed Lily had struck a nerve, because Yancey vehemently explained, “That’s not it. I just want her to be humiliated and beg for my forgiveness.”
Lily grabbed Alice’s hand and placed it in his palm. “That’s enough. Focus on treating Alice well in the future. I’ll personally discuss the engagement with the Lambert family. Since Hendricks likes Grace, we might as well host two weddings at once.”
She was suggesting that Yancey marry Alice while Hendricks married Grace. As for Grace’s personal opinion, it wasn’t important at all. The Lambert family would agree to it anyway. Yancey felt like something was choking his throat. He wanted to object, but no words came out.
On the other hand, Alice smiled and squeezed Yancey’s hand. “Mrs. Henderson, my parents happen to be free right now. Why make mistakes recently?” If she marries Mr. Parker, he can keep her in check, at least then my parents won’t need to worry about her future anymore.
