Grace felt that her chest was going to explode with anger. "Director Chen, why did you slap me?"
Chen was exasperated. "Shut up!"
Grace completely ignored him. She turned to Heinz and said, "Mr. Jones, I'm just an intern paparazzi. If you seek revenge, you had better speak to my director and not me. He's in charge."
"Grace, do you want to be fired?" Chen scolded her.
Grace's face was painful and swollen. "Just fire me, Director Chen! You can fire me and give me another three months' salary as part of the severance package in our employment contract."
Chen grew furious and blurted out, "B*tch, you are blackmailing me!"
"Whatever!" Grace was also furious.
She was about to leave.
Heinz grabbed her wrist and stopped her from leaving.
Grace turned around, her eyes beginning to water, but she was determined not to have them turn into tears.
In her blurry vision, Grace noticed Heinz was frowning and looking at her with deep and cryptic expression.
Grace wanted to get rid of him, but his grip was too strong for her to break free of.
Then, Heinz let go of her.
He looked up at Chen and said, "Mr. Chen, are you a gentleman? Why did you slap a woman?"
Chen was stunned. Confused, he looked at Heinz. Chen really could not understand the emotions in Heinz’s eyes.
Grace was also stunned. She did not expect Heinz to say that.
"Mr. Jones,, I was teaching her a lesson because I saw that Grace was disrespectful to you." Chen hurriedly explained.
"Hiss-" A cold sneer came from Heinz's thin lips.
Heinz glanced at Grace's face, Chen’s palm print glowed painfully red was on her pale face. He frowned and said, "Director Chen, when did I say that I need your help to punish anyone?'¹
