Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 320

Grace lowered her head, feeling sharp pain all over her body. When another lash landed on her chest, she almost coughed up blood. "Jodie, is there a point to this?"

Jodie tightened her grip on the whip in her rage.

"Of course, there is! Grace, you brought this on yourself! You're nothing but a lowly slut. Not only did you seduce my brother, but now, you want to seduce the man I love! I'll ruin your face today. Let's see how you seduce them after that!"

She quickly approached, grabbed a knife from the side, and aimed it at Grace's face.

However, Grace spoke calmly.

"You just want Ethan's heart, don't you? I can help you. Besides, I have a boyfriend, and Mr. Henderson knows it too. As you said, I only got close to him for the sake of my company. Once he sees my true intentions, he'll only feel disgusted with me."

She lowered her gaze and continued indifferently, "To me, he's nowhere near as important as my company. You've already lashed me 30 times. If you go any further, you'll be testing his limits. Mr. Henderson is a man of principles. He wouldn't want people he raised to turn into monsters. Are you sure you can bear the consequences of his wrath? After all, I saw him kill Levi with my own eyes."

Sure enough, Jodie hesitated.

Grace raised an eyebrow slightly. So, Jodie knew that Levi died at Ethan's hands.

Wasn't she afraid? Or had her love for Ethan already surpassed her reason, so she loved him no matter what kind of person he was?

"Levi tested his limits and was killed for it. You've angered him more than once, haven't you? Do you really think he'll forgive you this time? If I remember correctly, he once said that if you ever made another mistake, he'd never see you again."

Compared to death, being kept away from Ethan was clearly a worse fate for Jodie to accept. She stumbled back several steps, and her fingers around the knife trembled violently.

Grace seized the moment while Jodie was distracted and increased the force in her hands. From the moment she endured the first lash, she had been secretly using the nail she hid to wear down the rope.

Though Jodie was stunned by Grace's words, she abruptly looked up after a few minutes.

"I don't care! I'm ruining your face today, no matter what! I want you to regret it for the rest of your life. As for whether Uncle Ethan will be mad, I'll just have to coax him afterward!"

She gripped the knife tightly and lunged at Grace.

At the last possible moment, Grace broke free from the rack and kicked Jodie hard in the stomach. Jodie cried out in pain, and the knife fell from her hand.

Grace grabbed the knife and, using all her strength, stabbed it straight through Jodie's palm, pinning it firmly to the floor. Just as Jodie was about to scream, Grace grabbed the rope and stuffed it in her mouth.
