RankNovelChapter 158 Chapter 158 Grace felt a warm sensation in her chest, and she reached out to ruffle Liam's hair. "How much was the bag?" Her question instantly made Liam sneer, but he was also thrilled. At least it meant Grace wanted the bag. "Over two million dollars, I think. They're calling it a limited edition, but I don't really get it. I'll give it to you in private later, so Alice doesn't get mad." Liam was used to spending recklessly, with little savings to speak of.

From where Alice sat in the living room, she saw the two of them chatting so closely, and her expression soured. However, she managed to force a smile. "Grace, you're here." Grace couldn't help but admire Alice's shamelessness. After all the scheming she'd done, including the miscarriage incident, Alice still acted like nothing had happened.
Grace walked slowly toward the couch, but before she could say anything, Alice suddenly kneeled before her, crying. "Grace, I'm sorry about the child. I was confused for a moment. I keep having nightmares, dreaming that Yancey doesn't wantanymore. ---- "T've been in so much emotional pain, and my mental state's been deteriorating. The medication didn't help, and that's when I cup with that idea. "It was my fault. I'll make it up to you.
I can transfer the house Mom boughtlast tto you." When the words left Alice's mouth, Grace simply responded flatly, "Alright." Alice froze mid-bow, her fists tightening instantly. Grace added coolly, "But I don't want the house. Just convert it to cash for me. I'm sure you have at least that much in your bank account." Alice's face turned ashen, and her body trembled slightly. That vile woman! That damn despicable woman! "Also, since the pregnancy and the miscarriage were lies, why are you trembling now? I remember your health's always been great, and you've also been very active at the company. "T've heard many of the higher-ups praise you, but I've never heard anything about you having this trembling condition." Grace had thought Alice would snap, but it seemed she had underestimated her. Alice looked up at her with a smile. "Grace, I'll transfer the money to you later. I'm really happy you cback today.
"Our family should be just like before, peaceful and happy. Please don't argue with Mom anymore." ---- Carmen, who had been silent until now, couldn't hold back when she saw Alice still kneeling on the floor. "Grace, tonight is your dad's birthday. Let's not make a scene. The past is behind us, and I'll transfer the money to your account for Alice right now." Grace curved her lips into a faint smile. She cback hfor a visit and walked away with almost a million dollars? It wasn't a bad deal at all. She had barely sat down when Liam rushed over and sat beside her. The atmosphere at dinner was awkward. Carmen kept up the pretense that everything was fine but still treated Grace with acold distance. Grace raised a glass to Quentin, and after that, Liam pulled her upstairs. The second floor of the Lambert house had rooms for all three siblings, and Grace's was at the very end. She first went to her room, which still held the familiar decor.

But after her memory loss, she had only wandered in once. Then, there was a knock on the door. "Grace, here's the bag I got you." Liam handed it over discreetly, and Alice appeared at the door just as the bag was in Grace's hands. ---- Alice's face twisted in a fake smile. "Liam bought a bag for Grace? I recognize this style. It's at least two million bucks, right?" Liam looked guilty. "Alice, I..." But Grace simply accepted the bag with a calm, graceful demeanor. "Yes, he bought it for me. Is there something you need?" Alice's expression darkened with fury, and her eyes filled with hatred.
