Heinz Jones frowned. For a moment, his whole chest was filled with anger.
This woman had really pissed him off.
He grabbed Grace Smith's hand by her wrist and pulled her over suddenly.
At this moment, Grace was breaking down emotionally and her emotions exploded into tears the moment he grabbed her wrist, and her tears slowly fell on his big hands.
Heinz was stunned by the warm sensation on his hand. His whole body jerked and he looked at Grace's tearful eyes in astonishment.
"Ha!" He chuckled, and his voice was full of sarcasm and anger.
Grace's heart was even more broken. "I know you don't believe me and it's useless for me to explain. If you believe me, I wouldn't need to waste so much energy to explain like this. If you don't believe me, it's meaningless even if I explain to you over and over again."
"Then what are you crying for?"
Grace opened her eyes wide in shock with tears stuck in her eyes.
"Why do you look so aggrieved? Was it my fault?" Heinz asked mercilessly.
For a moment, Grace couldn't say anything.
Tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Heinz's pupils tightened and he narrowed his eyes. Looking at Grace's tears, he wanted to lift his hand to wipe the tears for her, but his pride stopped him.
"Grace, you're really good at acting." He said in a cold voice, his words as sharp as blades, "You can easily win the best actress award in the Oscars."
"Are you still suspecting me? After all that effort that I have put in?" Grace felt unbelievable.
Her heart ached as well.
She felt very wronged at this moment.
Looking at Heinz, she wiped her tears with her hands and smiled gently, which relieved her a lot instead.
"Heinz, I've explained everything. I said it was not what it seemed to be. Simon was passing my grandmother's posthumous letter to me. The flower field belongs to my grandmother, and it has nothing to do with him.
You misunderstood me and I thought that you would understand eventually, but you still do not seem to believe me.
I'm trying hard to make you understand. I'm trying to make you understand that I'm not that kind of person. But even after all these explanations, you mocked me and thought that I was acting. I really don't know what to say anymore.
It's up to you. I don't want to explain anymore. The truth will speak for itself.
I have something to do in newspaper office later, so I have to go first."
After she said that, she withdrew her hand from his grip and walked out.
Heinz watched her retreating back as she left while clenching his fists hard.
Grace left quickly but still felt distressed after she was outside in the streets.
When Jensen Charm entered through the door, he saw that Heinz was sitting alone and he did not look well. He looked around and asked, "Hey, where's Grace?"
Heinz didn't say anything. He sat down, pulled off his tie forcefully, and threw it on the table.
Jensen was shocked to see him like this. He widened his eyes and asked, "Did you quarrel with each other? You haven't been angry for a long time. What's wrong with you recently? Why are you so bad-tempered?"
Heinz remained silent. He sat on the chair and his face looked even uglier.
"Heinz, Grace and I have confirmed that nothing happened between us. She said that she has evidence." Jensen continued, "I think, judging from my years of experience as a policeman, she was not lying."
Heinz threw a sharp glance at him.
"It's true." Jensen said seriously, "If you're irritated because of this, I want to explain. I'm really relieved after knowing that Grace and I were clear. I don't want to lose you, my friend. Grace doesn't seem bad. Settle down with her if you think so too."
Heinz remained silent.
Jensen continued, "When you said that you don't have a girlfriend just now, I saw Grace's expression changed. Was it because of this that you both started quarreling?"
"It's none of your business." Heinz said, "Let's go have lunch now."
Jensen was stunned for a moment and he questioned, "Is Grace still going with us?"
