Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 421

Just as the atmosphere in the room grew tense, someone knocked on the private lounge door.

Julian and his bodyguards appeared at the entrance.

Grace instantly regretted leaving a crack in the door.

Julian walked in slowly and placed Daphne's phone down beside Grace. "Ms. Lambert, this number came from the assistant your father left behind. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

If it had been anyone else, they might've thrown Sebastian under the bus, but Grace was different.

At this moment, she felt trapped between a rock and a hard place—Ethan was still upset, and now the devil himself, Julian, had shown up.

Her mind raced for a few seconds before she gave a composed smile.

"Sebastian hasn't used this number for years. He gave it away a long time ago. Mr. Sidler, if you want to pin something on me using that, it's a little far-fetched, don't you think?"

Julian sat across from her, resting his elbow on the back of the chair. His posture was lazy, but it carried an undeniable arrogance.

"You had a conflict with Daphne at the gala, and recently, you've been involved in a project with that illegitimate son. Using me to get rid of him—that's a smart move."

As he spoke, he casually tossed the phone in his palm.

Grace's remained steady. All of that was just Julian's speculations—he had no proof.

"Mr. Sidler, I've had run-ins with plenty of people in Druville. Why are you so sure it isn't someone else trying to frame me?" Grace countered.

Julian couldn't help admiring her guts. Even at a time like this, she still had the nerve to lie with a straight face.

He turned to Ethan and pushed the phone across the table.

It slid in a straight line and stopped in front of Ethan.

The message was clear: if Ethan didn't want to pursue it, then Julian would just drop the matter.

When she saw this, Grace felt her heart leap to her throat—Ethan was still angry with her.

She took a deep breath and discreetly reached out under the table, tugging at his sleeve.

Ethan lowered his gaze to her fingers. He raised his brow but said nothing. However, he did not pull his arm away.
