"I don't think so." After all, Ernest did grow up under Heinz's care. "Daddy only forgets things when he's angry. He's usually a perfectionist."

"One is useless if he's unable to show his abilities in crucial times," Little Gary said. "Only when one can react well under pressure, can they be considered mature. Do you understand?" Ernest was confused at his words. "Gary, why do you refuse to acknowledge Daddy when I've acknowledge Mommy immediately?"

Little Gary paused at the question. Then, he replied, "It's because soft-hearted people like you have no principles. That's why there's an old b*stard who enjoys bullying people." Ernest fell silent and stared at Little Gary with wide eyes.

After a long pause, Ernest retorted, "Gary, although you sounded reasonable, it's just a matter of time for you to acknowledge Daddy. Why are you so proud that you can't do it now?" Little Gary turned to Ernest and frowned, "Ernest, are you trying to fight me?"

"Gary, you acting like this will only worry Mommy. Just call him 'Dad', and he'll probably be really happy," Ernest continued.

"Of course, I will." Little Gary said, "But not now."

"Then, when do you plan to do it?" Ernest thought it was unnecessary to wait for the perfect timing. After all, wasn't having a father something to be happy about?

"When I think it's the right time." Little Gary turned to Ernest and Grace. "You guys don't have to worry about it. Even if I started to call him 'dad,' it wouldn't change things."

Grace sighed and looked at Little Gary, saying, "You've inherited your father's arrogance."

"Mom," Gary said solemnly. "Don't humiliate me. I'm your son, and we're the closest."

"Your father loves the both of you very much." Grace said softly, "Although it was accidental that I gave birth to both of you, but when I saw that the both of you grew up to become such healthy and happy boys I feel blessed to be walking alongside your father and the both of you. I don't regret giving birth to both of you at all."

"Mommy," Ernest looked at Grace with twinkling eyes. "I'm happy, too."

"Well, the first problem now is to deal with those two monsters. Then, well celebrate," Little Gary stated calmly.

Grace could not help but sigh in awe. Little Gary was very analytical when it came to solving problems, and he was also stubborn and determined. He managed to consider everything carefully.

After Heinz finished his call, he came back and saw Grace sitting on the bed with the two boys. He said, "Go rest. I'll meet with Simon." "I'll go with you," Little Gary said, "You can't do anything by yourself." "Kid, you are only five years old," Heinz reminded.

"Age is just a number. I'm mature at heart. Although I cannot be compared with others, I'm stronger than you." After saying that, Little Gary turned to Grace and Ernest, "Mommy, you and Ernest should sleep before it's too late. Leave the rest to Heinz and me."

Grace didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Little Gary, you and Ernest can rest here. I'll go with your father."

"Mommy, there's no need for you to do that." Little Gary wanted to stop his mother's further involvement in this matter. He felt that she had suffered enough as it was.

Grace shook her head and got off the bed. She said, "This is my battle with them. I must deal with it myself."

Nobody could replace her.

Simon and Marry had gone too far.

Little Gary was stunned. He looked at Heinz with a frown.

There was guilt and pain written all over Heinz's face. He looked at Grace and said gently, "Rest with the children. I'll take care of the rest. Grace, you've always been the one to face them in the past. Now, it's my turn."

Heinz felt indebted towards Grace, Little Gary and Ernest. Both Simon and Marry really didn't hold on to any sort of moral compass.

He didn't want Grace to remember the cruel past.

"No, I want to go," Grace said firmly. She looked at Little Gary and Ernest and said, "My children, go and rest. This is adult's business and you children shouldn't participate."

"But, Mom, both Ernest and I were victimized. I feel that this isn't just your problem, it's also related to me and Ernest." Little Gary added, "If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have been separated since we were young."

"Even so, I can't let you go now." Grace said, "Let's settle it that way. You guys go rest now."

She left after finishing her words.

Little Gary still didn't give up. "Mom..."

However, Grace didn't look back and ignored Little Gary. She knew that children were simple-minded, and she wanted to protect her children.

Grace and Heinz left.

Little Gary sat on the bed with a frown.

Ernest spread the quilt open. "You'd better take a rest. I think it's the best choice to be obedient at this time. Didn't you see that Mommy's eyes were red?" "That's because of those two demons," Little Gary replied.

Ernest looked at Little Gary and chuckled, "That's right, but I believe that Mommy and Daddy will be able to handle everything properly."

Little Gary's gaze landed on Ernest, then at the door. After a while, he laid down and said with a sigh, "Forget it, they have their own plans. Why should I be worried?" "Then let's lie down." Ernest lifted the quilt and invited Little Gary to share the bed and quilt with him.

Little Gary snuggled into the quilt. The two boys stared at the ceiling together, unable to go to sleep.

After Grace and Heinz left the room, she asked, "Where are you planning to take them to?"

"Let's take them to the villa on the top of the mountains. There's a basement there, and we can lock them there. No one will be able to see anything," Heinz replied. She nodded and ordered the butler to take good care of Little Gary and Ernest. Then, she went up to the mountain villa with Heinz.

The stairs leading to the basement were very steep, and it was very dark.

"Are they here yet?" She asked.

"Yes," Heinz said, "Lester and the others brought them here and locked them up."

"I want to see Marry first," Grace said.

"Okay." Heinz had no objection. "It's up to you. I'll stay with you."

"No, go and see Simon." Grace said, "I'm sure he'll tell you about my past relationship with him. He'll exaggerate some parts. Just listen to him but don't take it seriously."

"I understand."

After Heinz sent Grace to the right side, Alex came to them and said, "President, Miss Smith, Marry is on this side."

"Okay, I want to see her alone." Grace said.

"She's being locked up inside," Alex said, "But you have to be careful, Miss Smith."

"Alright." Grace nodded her head.

Grace entered and saw a small cell at the end of the room. Marry's hands were shackled.

When Grace walked over to her, she looked up. "Grace, is that you?"

Grace stared at her with a grim expression and her gaze was as cold as ice.

"Grace, I was wrong." Marry apologized. "I was really blinded by jealousy. I shouldn't have done it. Please let me go, okay?"
