Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 471

Sebastian pushed up his glasses and pointed at the document in his hands.

"Something about this feels off. This is a very famous overseas company. Why would they suddenly want to collaborate with the Lambert family? But I've investigated that company's reputation, and everything seems solid. Their past collaborations were always with reputable families in Eastoria.

"So, I'm afraid there's a hidden motive behind their sudden interest in our company. I wanted to discuss this with Ms. Lambert, but I can't get in touch with her," Sebastian explained.

Still dazed, Liam sat down, but the words on the page just wouldn't register. After a long time, he finally asked, "Sebastian, do you think Grace cares about me at all?"

If Grace really cared about him, then there was no reason for her not to believe in him when he got into trouble. It was because she didn't believe in him that made him do things to this extent out of anger.

"Whether she has her memories or not, Ms. Lambert treats you very well, and no one can say otherwise," Sebastian replied.

Liam gave a weak smile. "What if she did something unforgivable and has been trying to make it up to me?"

For example, maybe Grace had taken the place of the real eldest daughter of the Lambert family. Liam had actually seen the writings carved on the small gravestone that snowy night—it was Quentin's handwriting.

Back then, Quentin had brought his gravely ill eldest daughter all over the country in search of a cure. When all hope was lost even in a large city like Druville, he could only turn to alternative medicine and folk remedies.

With no options left, they could only go to the countryside as a desperate last resort and hope for a miracle.

Liam had always been very suspicious of why Grace, who had been in the ICU all year round, could recover after just one trip to the countryside.

Liam rubbed the area between his eyes and then suddenly remembered Sebastian had also been working for Quentin during those years.

"Sebastian, do you still remember what Grace looked like when she was little?" Liam asked.

He remembered Sebastian was already working for the Lambert family before Quentin started looking for medical help for Grace.

Sebastian lowered his gaze as he answered in a calm tone, "Ms. Lambert had to stay in a specific type of room at that time. Her body was so weak that even outside air was poisonous to her. So, I never saw her when she was young."

Just when Liam picked up a pen from the side and was about to sign the document, he suddenly remembered what Grace had told him and paused.

Liam didn't want to cause trouble for Grace, and that had been his goal for so long. Because of that, he didn't want to tell her anything, but it had made everything even more complicated than before.

Liam came back and sat down again, his tone very calm and indifferent.

Sebastian had been working by Quentin's side for all these years. He was clearly attached to the company as well and should be a good person to talk to about this.

Sebastian suddenly let out a smile as he looked out of the window at the night sky.

"She may have kept things from you, but how do you know she didn't have her reasons for doing so? Besides, she has never wanted the company for herself." Sebastian tried to persuade Liam.

Even an outsider like him could see Grace's intentions clearly, yet Liam still doubted her. It was no wonder that Grace felt disappointed.
