Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 424

The villa was instantly thrown into chaos. Even the doctor was startled by the blood on the floor.

Grace had no choice but to stay and clean up the mess. By the time Andrea's wound was bandaged, it was already 8:00 pm.

As she looked at the darkened sky outside, Grace's expression grew grim.

Only after confirming that Andrea had fallen asleep did Grace finally rush out the door.

She floored the gas pedal and drove for over two hours before finally arriving at the manor.

The manor gate had a traditional, antique design, with two lights under the eaves as if waiting for someone.

She got out of the car and only then realized that it had started snowing again.

Before coming, she had looked up all the information she could, but no one knew who the manor actually belonged to, not even Sebastian. She was left with no choice but to try her luck.

Just as she raised her hand to knock, the manor gate opened on its own.

Grace didn't step inside immediately. Instead, she asked politely, "Excuse me, is anyone home?"

In response, the door creaked open even wider as if inviting her in.

She glanced up and noticed a surveillance camera nearby, so she gave a small nod in that direction.

"Sorry to intrude. I heard all the red magnolia blossoms in Druville are here. I was wondering if I could pick a few branches. I can offer ancient calligraphy and paintings in exchange."

Whoever owned a manor of this scale wouldn't lack money. Judging by its architecture, the owner probably had a taste for antiques and art.

She stepped through the open door and headed inside. The lightning was dim but very warm and welcoming.

The place looked peaceful, but it was actually a hornet's nest.

Lyle couldn't stand being humiliated like this. He leaned forward a little, bumping his head against the barrel.

"Fine. Tell your boss to just kill me if he's really got the guts. Let's see if he can handle the consequences."

As soon as he said this, Zack rolled down the car window and said calmly, "If Lyle dies, she'll be heartbroken."

Ever since the banquet, he and Lyle had been busy dealing with those targeting Grace, and they were utterly exhausted.

But both of them knew this was exactly that man's style.

With unnerving ease, he turned them into decoys, shielding Grace from danger.
