Pearlyn was shocked. "What will you do then?"
"Pearlyn, I will be holding a press conference with Heinz tomorrow morning to clarify some things," Queenie stated calmly, having made up her mind.
"What do you want to clarify?" Pearlyn was very surprised. "Do you want to do something bad to Jodie?"
"Pearlyn, shut up," Nathan suddenly snapped. "Now, let's stop being stubborn and let Queenie finish her words."
Queenie looked at them and continued, "I want to clarify that Grace has never meddled with Jodie and Heinz's marriage. The rumors spread by the media were heavily exaggerated, and none of it was true."
Pearlyn remained silent.
Nathan sighed. "Regardless, she is still our child. I've held back because of this many times."
"Nathan, things will only become better if we do the right thing." Queenie sighed and continued, "I think that this is what we should do. We can't go against our conscience and let her off the hook again and again."
"Last time, in order to get Jodie and Heinz to be together, we have been forcing Grace against our better judgement. Now that the matter has been brought up to the news, if we don't stand up to clarify it, it is extremely unfair to her."
Pearlyn couldn't help complain, "But Queenie, they were together too early. Five years ago, they already had a child. That is to say, they had a child as soon as he broke up with Jodie."
"But it was after he broke up with Jodie," Queenie returned. "Regardless, Heinz did not cheat during the marriage and that is an undeniable truth. Outsiders don't know the truth behind it, but we do, am I right? Furthermore, they weren't even together for these five years."
"Let me think about it," Nathan said. "Queenie, go back and have a rest. You've suffered a lot today. It was all because we didn't teach our daughter well. We apologize to you."
As soon as Queenie saw Nathan's attitude, she knew that it was not the right time.
She did not press on. "Well, Nathan, I've tried my best to deal with your family affairs. From now on, you can handle your own affairs. I will hold a press conference at ten o'clock tomorrow morning to clarify some things. Then, I will retire and no longer return to the job. I'll be enjoying my retirement; maybe I'll watch the kids."
When Pearlyn heard her words, she knew that Queenie was not going to be bothered about them anymore.
She looked at her and said awkwardly, "Queenie, don't force us."
"Pearlyn, I'm not forcing you. You're forcing me." She laughed. "I'm not your daughter. I'm only your cousin. I can't accompany you to the end of your life. Why don't you rely on Jodie?"
Queenie could see that the Lawson couple were still the same. They only cared about their own safety and didn't care about the lives of others.
She felt deeply ashamed for what she had done in the past.
She turned around, opened the door and left.
"Queenie, wait a minute," Nathan called out to her in a hurry.
She stood still at the door. "Nathan, is there anything else?"
"Let me think about it. Give me one night to think about it. I will give you an answer tomorrow morning," he said to her in a hurry.
"Alright." She then left.
At seven o'clock in the morning.
Auntie Susan bought breakfast for them, and saw people talking about the news downstairs.
She also turned on her mobile phone to have a look, and then she found the new video of Jodie.
After reading the contents, she found out that Jodie had cheated in her marriage six years ago.
