"Are you worried that he won't be prosecuted?"
Grace looked at Heinz.
"He didn't hurt Alice, and he also sent her back. It can only be counted as an attempted kidnapping." "Xavier didn't really want to hurt me at that time. I think that he would've definitely hurt me if he was ill- intentioned. However, he only insulted me verbally. He didn't do anything extreme. So, you're right," Alice spoke as she agreed.
"Let's follow the procedures then. We'll see if they'll prosecute him," Grace said. "It looks like things are going good."
"You seem optimistic," Heinz remarked as he turned to Grace. "Xavier is not necessarily a good person. You both should not be too optimistic. Let nature take its course. He will suffer the consequences for what he has done."
"You're right," Grace replied.
At this point, she had become Heinz's fangirl.
Then, she gazed at Alex and suggested, "Alex, sit down and have a cup of tea. The tea's aroma is very strong, but it's a pity that I can't have it now. You must be tired. Have a cup of tea before going
back to work."
Alex was flattered by her kind gesture. His eyes were filled with shock as he stared at her. He immediately shook his head and replied, "No, thank you, Mrs. Jones."
Grace gave Heinz a look.
Heinz uttered in a low voice, "Alex, have a cup of tea and then follow me to do something later."
"Alright!" Alex immediately picked up the teacup respectfully. He downed the entire cup without sitting down and remarked, "It's delicious."
Heinz watched as he finished the expensive tea like a cup of water, but he made no comments. He then stood up and said, "Let's go."
The two of them walked out one after the other.
Only Grace and Alice were left in the room.
"Grace, Alex doesn't even dare to drink tea in Heinz's presence."
"Yeah, Heinz's strict about the rules. Even the butler dares not to have meals with us, and it's so boring to eat my meals alone. Thank God you're back. We can eat together now," Grace replied.
"Should I return home now?" Alice asked hesitantly. "Since Xavier has turned himself in, I have to go back."
Alice paused for a while before continuing, "I was disturbed by the news of that woman's death. I feel uncomfortable. After all, she is our mother."
Grace nodded. "Ask Jensen to pick you up."
Alice quickly replied, "He is very busy."
"Rosalie deliberately told you about Mom's death that day. She knew that Jensen didn't allow her to tell you, but she still told you. There is something wrong," Grace said. "Although I don't like arguing with the elders, we should not be taken lightly. You can return to the Charm family and live there for a while, and then you can move away. For the sake of your own life with Jensen, you can move back to Hart Villa District. When you have children in the future, you can move in together."
"I'm worried that they won't agree."
"Then let Jensen handle it," Grace answered bluntly. "It'll be better for him to handle the conversation. Children help to smooth things out. If you live together without children, there will be too many contradictions. There will be no way to correct it either."
After pondering for a while, Alice nodded seriously.
She knew she should give it some thought and make up her mind.
On the other hand, Heinz led Alex out of the house and got into the car.
Alex drove the car and asked, "What else do you have to deal with?"
