Chapter 154
Ethan put down the document in his hand after a long pause. “Do you need me to remind you that I’m your elder?”
“So you do remember you’re my elder? But were those really the kinds of things an elder should be saying to a junior last night? Don’t worry, I’ve got it all recorded,” Yancey retorted.
Ethan leaned back in his chair. “Stop acting foolish. Your wedding gift with Alice is on the way.”
Ethan labeled all of Yancey’s actions as childish and immature he was foolish overall.
Yancey’s eyes went wide, and he bit his lip in frustration.
“Uncle Ethan, you’ve been eyeing Grace from the start, haven’t you?”
Ethan didn’t respond. Instead, he called in Tim to escort Yancey out.
As Yancey reached the base of Henderson Group’s office building, he ran into Alice, who had come to find him.
Alice had been in a bad mood lately.
She had hoped to spend a romantic evening with Yancey, but he hadn’t been around for two nights or even answered her calls.
“Yancey!” Her voice was tinged with tears as she quickly approached him. “Why aren’t you answering my calls?”
Seeing her burst into tears only annoyed Yancey more.
His gaze frantically searched for Grace, wondering where she had gone.
His distracted demeanor made Alice uncomfortable. She was already stressed
about Sloan’s condition and the fact that Yancey might be getting close to Grace again.
Could Grace just disappear already?
“Yancey…”
Before she could say more, Yancey’s eyes lit up as he saw Grace’s car.
“Alice, we can talk later. I have urgent business right now.”
He had to make Grace remember everything, and only then could he expose Ethan’s scheme.
Once Grace regained her memory, she would return to despising Ethan as she did before.
He hurriedly turned to leave, but Alice grabbed him. “Yancey, are you going to find my sister?”
“Alice, I really have urgent matters to deal with. You should go back for now.
“Oh, and by the way, I knew your pregnancy was fake. You’re not weak at all. Honestly, who are you etending for? Can yo@just walk properly?” Yancey snapped.
Alice’s face instantly turned pale as her fingers slowly released their grip on his shirt.
Yancey left the very next second, almost desperate to chase after Grace.
Alice stood frozen, feeling as if all her efforts had amounted to nothing. It made her feel like a fool.
How did it end up like this? What did Grace have that she didn’t?
She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms so hard that they almost drew blood.
Then, she made a call.
“Let’s cooperate.”
A woman’s voice came through the line. “I don’t know what Ms. Lambert is referring to.”
Alice’s frustration flared. “Stop pretending! I know what you’re after. Right now,
let’s work together. Let’s get rid of Grace.
“I won’t

There was a long pause on the other end of the line as if the person was contemplating her words.
Alice’s tone turned mocking. “What’s wrong? Are you too scared to agree? No wonder you’ve been living like a rat inthe sewers all this time jealous of those who live under the sun.
“I’m giving you a chance here, and you still don’t know how to appreciate it. Fine,
just stay in your sewer for the rest of your life!”
Her words hit a nerve, and the person on the other end of the line inhaled sharply before responding.
“Take it slow.”
Alice let out a breath of relief, and a smirk curled at her lips.
“Of course, we’ll take it slow. Ever since losing her memory, Grace has gotten a
little sharper. She’s not the same fool she used to be.”
