Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 359

The cops showed up quickly, asked questions, and then hauled Jodie to the station.

Grace, as the victim, had to go too.

Jodie, who'd been shopping, was mortified because of the police. At the station, she exploded when she saw that Grace was the one who called them.

"Grace, you bitch! You actually called the cops on me?"

Grace just sat there, looking nonchalant. "I'm not looking to make a deal. I want an apology."

Jodie frowned hard. "An apology? To a bitch like you? Never!"

Grace also frowned and addressed the officer, "I will not accept a financial compromise. She must issue an apology today."

Jodie pulled out a card. "I can give you ten thousand dollars, but no apology."

The officer assessed the situation, recognizing that both parties were individuals of considerable means.

He chose his words carefully. "Ms. Henderson, you did mess up here. If Ms. Lambert doesn't want monetary compensation, you must apologize if you want to leave."

Jodie felt her scalp prickle with fury. She felt utterly humiliated.

If her family found out, she'd be in trouble.

Things were tense at home, and she didn't want more problems. She just glared at Grace.

"Grace, you better think twice about this. If you don't drop this issue, I'll make your life a nightmare."

Grace found the notion laughable. Any semblance of civility between herself and Jodie had long disappeared.

Standing behind the two women, Yancey interjected at that moment. "I just called Uncle Ethan. Jodie, stop this right now."

Upon hearing that Ethan was coming, Jodie nearly leaped from her chair. "Yancey, Uncle Ethan's swamped right now! Why'd you call him and bug him without asking?"

"So I should just let you keep being a spoiled brat? You're going to screw things up big time sooner or later! I already told him about everything you pulled."
