Chapter 99 Simply being present made Grace look guilty. Yancey happened to arrive at that moment. Seeing the tense standoff, he quickly rushed over and pulled Alice into his arms. "Grace, what have you done this time?" He had been questioning whether Guare still had feelings for him, but Grace had just come looking for Alice, and it seemed like Grace wanted to harm the child out of jealousy. Yancey didn't want to admit it, but he was secretly pleased at that moment.

"No matter how upset you are, you shouldn't harm my child or Alice." Grace stood there, feeling like communication was impossible. She didn't understand how she had become the villain without even realizing it. She turned to leave, but Carmen shouted, "Where are the bodyguards? Grab her! Liam, you were right. She must be mentally unwell. Lock her up!" Liam was stunned and quickly protested, "Mom, I was just joking." But gradually, his voice weakened until he finally lowered his head.

Grace was then taken away by a few bodyguards and thrown into a punishment room, a space Alice had specifically set up for disciplining disobedient individuals. There were no decorations inside, only a single wooden stool too short to reach the window and a door. Grace sat on the stool calmly, hearing footsteps outside as night fell. She tentatively called out, "Liam?" Liam felt uneasy. After all, Grace was locked up because of his words.

The rest of the family had gone out for a dinner party, and he had feigned illness to stay behind. Walking over to the door, he remained silent, still bitter about Grace slapping him multiple times and siding with an outsider. Grace leaned against the door, realizing that Liam wasn't as heartless as the rest of the family. He was just spoiled and struggled to discern right from wrong. "You're not speaking, but I know it's you.

Out of everyone here, you've always treated me the best," Grace said. At her words, Liam's lips twitched as he tried to suppress a smile, not wanting to appear too easily pleased. Crossing his arms, he snorted, "Grace, if you think I treat you the best, why do you keep hitting me?

You even embarrassed me in public that day." Recalling the public humiliation, Liam hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is that true?" Grace rubbed her temples, wondering why Lambert's mind was so cunning while Liam's seemed as blank as a sheet of paper. "I'm not trying to deceive you into letting me go," Liam accused. Grace was taken aback by his words. "The key isn't with me; it's with Mom!" she exclaimed.

"I've cooked many meals for you, but what have you done for me?" Liam, feeling unsure, responded, "Is that so?" Grace sighed. "Actions speak louder than words. Watch what people do, not just what they say. Anyone can speak kindly." Liam was left speechless. "That's not true," Grace insisted. "I'm here for you, not just for myself." (End of Chapter 99)
