"Mrs. Brown, I think you are not making sense either." Grace looked at her sharply and said, "First, you said that I am your son's ex-girlfriend, then you said that your son is my brother-in-law. Now, you are saying that I'm Heinz's wife."
Britney suddenly realized and frowned. "Isn't that so?"
Grace said in a calm and slow tone, "You said all this only to humiliate me, berate me and get my colleagues to question my identity."
"I, I didn't," Britney denied immediately. "What I said is the truth! Why would I talk bad about you? You are indeed such a person!"
"It's none of your business that I'm such a person." Grace looked at Britney coldly. "You can talk about it all you want. I'm not afraid."
Britney froze and panic flashed in her eyes.
She only wanted to expose Grace for her colleagues to look down on her.
If not, whatever Simon went through would not be worth it.
Simon had dog bite wounds from head to toe. His appearance was ruined. His ear was half bitten off which would affect his future greatly.
In contrast, Grace was living a good life. She even got together with Heinz. The thought of Grace's life getting better made Britney angrier.
However, Grace was not even a tad bit scared of her. She even talked as if she was right about everything.
Britney could not help but feel anxious.
"Alright, let's talk about sense then. Grace, you have a very cruel heart."
"Who is the one being heartless?" Grace said, "Your son and I had been best friends since we were young but we were never in a relationship. Simon isn't considered an ex-boyfriend to me."
"Moreover, he married my sister, thus he's indeed my brother-in-law. The fact that he had cheated on her meant that he had no morality. It has nothing to do with me."
"I'm in love with Heinz and he loves me too."
"But in your eyes, you think that I'm taking advantage of Heinz."
"You want to make me look bad in front of my colleagues and pressure me with their opinions. You want justice and you are willing to do anything to get it. I've treated Simon well and I have always lived up to my own conscience. I'm not afraid of you, I did nothing wrong."
Britney froze and pointed at Grace as she said to her colleagues, "Did you see that? She is indeed cruel!"
"We didn't see it," Chuck immediately said in a deep voice, "We only saw both of you coming into the office and forcing her to do something that she doesn't want to. What a joke. Since the police are involved, why did you come looking for Grace?"
"Why are you favoring Grace so much? Do you have a secret relationship with her?" Tobias exclaimed angrily.
In his eyes, anyone who was on Grace's side was labeled weird.
Chuck was shocked and sneered, "You old man, I did no such thing. I really did not expect you to twist the truth. Please be careful. I might sue you for ruining my reputation."
"If you are not together, why are you siding with this b*tch?" Tobias shouted angrily and even swore.
"Get out!" A deep female voice came from the room suddenly.
Everyone turned in the direction of the deep voice.
They watched as Hermione came out of the editor's office with an impatient look. She strode forward quickly.
