Chapter 98
Grace almost laughed from the sheer anger she was feeling. This family just wouldn’t give up.
But the next second, Quentin said in a heavy tone, “If Alice loses her child, it’ll be completely your fault.”
Grace’s eyes narrowed. Alice needed to keep her child.
She immediately returned to the household. Before she even stepped inside, she heard Carmen murmuring, “Alice, eat a little something. Yancey is already on his way back.”
Alice, who was sitting on the couch, shook her head. When she saw Grace enter, there was a glint in her eyes. “Grace, why are you back?”
Grace’s gaze fell on Alice’s stomach. It was still early on in the pregnancy, so she wasn’t showing yet.
Alice seemed frightened by her look and instinctively moved closer to Carmen.
Carmen shielded Alice behind her and asked righteously, “Grace, what kind of look is that? Alice is your sister. If you dare to do anything to the child in her belly, I’ll make you pay.”
There was a chill in Grace’s heart when she saw the wariness and malice in Carmen’s eyes. Was she really a part of the Lambert family? How could parents treat their own daughter like this?
She stepped forward and noticed Liam sitting nearby.
Liam let out a cold snort and quickly turned his head away, but he still tried to sound reassuring to Grace.
He said, “Grace, you see it now. Alice is pregnant, so there’s no way you and Yancey can be together anymore. You should just accept it and marry Hendricks. Mom has already agreed to the engagement. It’ll be your turn after Alice’s wedding.”
Grace sat down with a calm and indifferent expression. She asked Liam, “Do you want Hendricks as your brother-in-law?”
Liam was stumped. Everyone knew that Hendricks was just a thug with a terrible reputation.
His gaze met Grace’s, and after hesitating for a moment, he lowered his eyes. “Grace, I think you’ve been very unruly lately. You might really need a man to keep you in check.”
The moment he said that, Grace landed a slap right on his face.
Liam clutched his cheek and shot up from the couch furiously. “You’re always hitting me for no reason! I really think something is wrong with you. Have you gone insane because Yancey doesn’t want you anymore?”
Alice’s eyes lit up at those words. She immediately leaned closer to Carmen. “Mom, that might be it. Grace has been acting really strange lately. Should she see a doctor? I’m pregnant, so I’m afraid she’ll do something extreme.”
Her tone was laced with fear, and she even placed her hands protectively over her belly as her eyes reddened.
Carmen was swayed by that. Could Grace’s strange behavior really be because she had gone crazy?
She motioned for the bodyguards to come in before she looked at Grace with suspicion. “Grace, are you really mentally unwell?”
Grace didn’t even know how to answer that. She met Alice’s gaze, and as Alice hid in the corner where no one could see, her eyes curled into a smirk of triumph.
With the whole Lambert family on her side, she had nothing to fear.
Grace felt her heart shattering at that moment.
But she still quickly composed herself. If she hadn’t lost her memories, she would have probably lost her mind by now.
“Didn’t you call me back to cook?” Grace said calmly.
Alice shrank back and pretended to be afraid. “Grace, I wouldn’t dare to eat your food. What if you poison it? You must hate that I have Yancey’s child.”
