"Knock knock." There was a knocking sound on the door.

Grace immediately pushed Heinz away and said, "You have a bad temper, yet you are pushing the blame on me. It must be the children knocking on the door."

As expected, as soon as the door was opened,

Little Gary was standing at the door, looking at them with sharp eyes.

The little guy didn't say anything. Instead, he was just studying his parents. He was scanning them from their heads to their toes.

The look in his eyes was extremely frightening.

When Grace saw him behaving like this, she immediately pursed her lips and felt a little nervous for no reason.

Heinz was staring at Little Gary at the same time.

"Boy, why did you knock on our door?"

"We are all waiting for you guys to eat dinner. It's already 7:30. Don't you have any idea about the time now?" Little Gary accused Heinz, "I warned you not to torture Mommy for too long. Why didn't you listen?' Heinz was a little flustered and he felt a little chagrined. He looked at his son and a mysterious glint flashed across his eyes.

"This time, it was your mommy who took the initiative. I didn't insist on doing it, but when your mommy took the initiative. I somehow forgot to check the time."

"What?" In an instant, Grace looked like she was struck by lightning. She was completely dumbfounded.

"How could this d*mned Heinz say that?"

Little Gary frowned and looked at Grace.

His mommy's face was so red that it looked like a cooked shrimp. He was really surprised by what he had heard.

"Mommy, were you the one who took the initiative?" Little Gary did not expect this at all.

Grace shook her head subconsciously. "That's not true. Little Gary, don't listen to your father. Hurry up. Let's go eat."

"Mommy is shy." Heinz smiled and chipped in, "Kiddo, you should be careful in the future. It's all because of you that your mommy looks like this."

"Who knows." Little Gary looked at him. "You are not a gentleman at all."

"What's wrong with me?" Heinz asked in a deep voice.

"You can't just tell me straight even if it was Mommy who took the initiative. By telling me about the romantic stories between you two, you are betraying Mommy while poisoning my tender soul as well. You are an adult yet you don't know how to respect yourself."

"You are the one who is being rude and impolite

since you are criticizing me like that," Heinz didn't hold back at all this time.

He found that the more he was tolerant of this little guy, this little guy would take it a step further.

This time, he was going to retort to Little Gary.

"I won't make any concessions in the future," Heinz muttered silently.

To meet a worthy opponent was one of the little pleasures in life.

Little Gary was frowning with his little brows knitted together while staring at Heinz.

He still wanted to say something, but Grace stopped him and urged, "Come on, let's go eat. Aren't you hungry? Where is Ernest?"

"Ernest has been waiting for you guys."

The mother and son duo quickly went to the dining room.

Heinz followed them from behind.

As soon as he came out of the room, he noticed that Lester was waiting for him. Lester immediately came up and said, "President, I have a job to report to you."

Heinz nodded and said to Grace, "You can go ahead first. I need to head to the study."

After that, they headed to the study.

"Lester, what's the matter?"

"President, Simon is going to report you, Miss Smith, and Officer Charm to the police," Lester said.

"If he's going to file a lawsuit, let him be." Heinz replied in a deep voice, "Do you think I am afraid of him?".

"I've already dealt with everything. Last night, about the dog biting him, he was in a blind spot of the surveillance camera as well. He got out of the car on his own. Apart from being bitten by the dog, he doesn't have any other evidence."

"What did Jensen say?" Heinz asked.

"Officer Charm doesn't seem to care about it. It's no big deal if he can no longer be a policeman. You'll take care of him anyway," Lester replied with a smile.

Heinz also smiled and said, "Okay, he didn't admit his defeat this time."

"Officer Charm said that this incident won't have any impact on you. At most, some nasty words would get out but without evidence, he can't do anything." "What about Marry?" Heinz asked, "What's her reaction?"

"She has disclosed some financial violations incurred by the design that Simon produced over the past few years. In any case, things are looking unfavorable for Simon." Lester added, "Simon may have to go to jail this time."

"He should pay the price for everything he has done." Heinz's eyes were much sharper. "He deliberately separated Ernest from Grace. Even if he is going to be imprisoned this year, that is still not enough to make up for his crime."

"Don't worry. We'll do our best and send him to prison," Lester said. "I've already arranged for a lawyer to deal with him."

"Lorenzo's case is going to be called to court soon."

"You don't have to worry about that too." Lester said, "Lorenzo has been changing his words of testimony over and over again. The prosecutor is already disgusted with his ways."

"One would perish in the end if one was to commit heinous crimes over and over again."1 Heinz looked at Lester. "Is there anything else?"

"The two elders of the Lawson family have already recovered a lot." Lester reported, "In another week, they will be able to be discharged from the hospital and will be able to go home." Heinz nodded. "That's great."

The next day, Lorenzo's case was presented at court.

Grace was present at the court as well.

Initially, everyone thought that there was going to be a fierce battle. However, in court, Lorenzo admitted his crime straightforwardly and the verdict was dropped on the same day. Lorenzo was sentenced to seven years in jail.

When he was about to leave, he glared at Grace and Hermione.

The look in his eyes sent chills down one's spine.

Grace shivered as she looked at Hermione.

Hermione consoled her, "Don't be afraid, Grace. He can't do anything to us now. This is what he deserves." "You are right!" Grace was simply startled by Lorenzo's gaze, which clearly showed that he would not just let the matter go.

Heinz took her into his arms and said, "The prison is not a place where he can come out whenever he wants. Don't worry, I'm here."

Grace looked up and met his eyes.

Heinz gave her a sense of security.

The matter surrounding Lorenzo had finally come to an end.

The day before Grace was ready to ask for a leave to send her grandmother's ashes back to Southland, Simon's parents looked for Grace in the newspaper office.

On that day, Grace was packing up and she had asked Hermione for a leave of absence for a period of one week.

As soon as she came out of the chief editor's office, she stumbled across Simon's parents.

Chuck said to her, "Grace, an old couple said that they wanted to see you. They are friends of your family."

Grace nodded in response. When she saw Simon's parents again after so long, she was overcome with emotions.

They hadn't seen each other for around six years, and they had grown older in the meantime.

"Mr. Brown, Auntie." Grace was ready to face them. They must have come here for Simon's sake. "Come with me to the reception room."

After all, this was not a good place to talk.

The two of them did not reject the offer and

followed her into the reception room.

Before they could even sit down, Simon's father immediately came up and looked at her with a sad face. "My good girl, you two almost became a couple at that time. How could you do this to him?" Grace was shocked by his question and she couldn't help frowning.

On the other hand, Simon's mother burst into tears as well. She grabbed Grace's hands and said, "My good girl, you were supposed to be my daughter-in-law, yet you two are destined to be apart. I feel very regretful about that."

"Auntie, let bygones be bygones. You are thinking too much." Grace said calmly, "I don't know what's going on with Simon. Marry knows that he has committed a lot of crimes. I think you should ask Marry instead of coming to me."
