Kirare must have opted for new tires. Her car was brand new. There was no way the treads were worn out so soon. She had probably managed this entire ordeal skillfully, even though he played hard to get. In reality, she had planned to take risks with him all along. Vance's lips curled slightly before he pulled Alice into his arms as if showing off. In the front passenger seat, Yancey even leaned over to fasten her seatbelt for her.

After shutting the door, he turned to Guare and gestured toward the back seat. "Get in already, I don't want my mum waiting in the car." Ignoring him, she pulled out her phone, called a car repair service, and requested a tire replacement. Then, without a word, she walked off toward the main road. Tanory stiffened when he saw her ignore his car, and he attempted to chase after her. But before he could say anything, Alice rolled down the window. That single word stopped him in his tracks.

She sat in the front passenger seat, completely unfazed. He hesitated, then suddenly realized that Grace was throwing a fit. She must have been upset because Alice was sitting in the front passenger seat. Grace had once claimed that only she could sit there. But after Alice came into the picture, that rule seemed to have changed. Yancey clenched his jaw, got into the car, and slammed the door shut. Frustration burned in his chest as he pressed the gas pedal.

As he sped away, his gaze involuntarily shifted to the side, catching sight of Grace standing at the curb, waiting for a cab. He couldn't help but stare at her as his grip tightened on the phone. Beside him, Alice's face contorted with hesitation. She pressed her lips together and hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Tanery, maybe we should pick her up. Otherwise, it might be hard to explain things to your mom later." Her words gave him the excuse he had been looking for.

He had wanted to say something to Grace but had been too proud to admit it. Now that Alice had suggested it, he reached for the radio controls, ready to call out to her. But Alice let out a small sigh and said, "But she did message me. Maybe it was just to make sure I'd see you two together." Alice was right. There was no way Grace didn't care about him. She was even willing to jump off a building for him. She couldn't possibly stop loving him just like that. He could fall for her tricks...

Alice glanced into the side mirror, watching Grace's figure recede into the distance. But even as the car sped away, she felt restless. Her hands curled into fists, and she pulled out her phone. "Sloan, I think Yancey really has feelings for Grace. What should I do?" The message was crafted perfectly for an egotistical man like Sloan. It was as if she were a damsel in distress waiting for a hero to save her. He had been in contact with Hendricks without hesitation. He called him up.

"Hendricks, Grace is going to your sister's place for dinner tonight. What are you waiting for?" Hendricks had already been seething in frustration. Hearing this, he immediately grabbed his keys and headed out. Lily had always sided with him. Even if he stirred up trouble, she would protect him. Last time, Grace had made a fool out of him. This time, he was going to make sure she paid for it. Grace stood in front of the mansion, staring at it with a faint sense of familiarity.

She stepped forward and rang the doorbell. A housekeeper answered the door. From inside, she could already hear Alice speaking sweetly to Lily. Grace's pulse quickened. "Mrs. Henderson, it's been two months, and you look younger. I brought you some tea. Yancey said it's your favorite." The two women went back and forth, bantering as if they were already family. The housekeeper rolled her eyes, took the box, and immediately started unpacking it. "Where's the scented candle?

I had something special planned for today." Realizing she had forgotten something, Grace's expression darkened. "You haven't been here for months, and I've used up the last candle. Did you forget?" Lily finally seemed to put two and two together and responded, "You were always thoughtful. You did bring something every time. But what's this about a car accident? Was it serious? Come, let me see." She reprimanded the housekeeper. After all, something so small shouldn't have caused such a fuss.

Lily ended up siding with Grace in the end, where she stood with Lily. "Mrs. Guitar, I'm out of size. You brew better tea than super low Yancey likes. And Mr. Hendricks prefers it mild when you blend it."
