True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 656

"Dead?" Hermione was shocked. "It's fine if she's already dead. He was just lying to you about being married, not playing with your feelings. He probably didn't want to lose you, so he was hiding it from you." "Heinz is an arrogant man. He was always known to be outstanding and flawless. He probably doesn't want you to think that he has his flaws, so he didn't tell you that he was married."

"It's not like that." Grace shook her head in an instant.

"Grace, she's dead, so it won't affect your marriage registration."

"Yes, it does." Grace allowed herself a wry laugh. "What's ironic is that Heinz was notified that he's married and her parents didn't cancel their daughter's account. Now, she has no death certificate to prove that she's dead, so we can't get the marriage certificate at all."

"Huh?" Hermione realized how embarrassing it was to ask this question. "If that's the case, I now understand why you're so anxious."

"Actually, Hermione, what I care about isn't the fact that he's married, but it's..." She was lost for words and didn't know how to continue explaining.

"I know that what you really care about is that he loved another woman to the point that they got married. Besides, after so many years, he has not cancelled his ex-wife's account. He left a deceased person's account married to his account." Hermione continued, "This is what you really care about."

Grace opened her eyes wide. Hermione had guessed what she was thinking.

Grace nodded. "That's what I care about. I was confused when I heard today that he was married. He used to have a good relationship with other people and there's nothing wrong with that. Everyone has a past but if he's not ready to get married, why does he want to get married to me and let me experience this? He's just trying to make things difficult for me, but he doesn't want to admit it. It's as if I'm a narrow- minded person who is troublesome."

"Grace, these things happen and it's not easy for anyone." Hermione understood her situation. "Don't think of yourself as a narrowminded person. If you didn't have feelings for him, or if you hadn't loved him enough, only then would you think of it that way."

Looking dull and helpless, Grace said, "Hermione, I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me, but I haven't the slightest clue what to do now."

"Heinz has always been cold and heartless. I haven't really heard any rumors about him from the industry world. I didn't expect him to be married. It was really unexpected."

Grace picked up the glass and gave it a swirl. The wine in the glass bloomed into a beautiful colour.

She picked the glass up again and finished the wine.

Even after drinking two glasses of wine, she didn't feel dizzy at all. She leaned on the sofa and her eyes shone brightly; she looked a little pitiful.

"I didn't expect this to happen. I made up my mind to get the marriage certificate, but now I'm really in a mess. I want to go out to work. I want to think about things carefully. I'm afraid that he will harass me and distract me if I'm here."

"Grace." Hermione sighed and said, "Listen to me. I'm an experienced woman. The way I see it, you're running away from reality."

"I know," Grace said. "I'm afraid that I don't have the courage."

"You're not in the right frame of mind for work. Why don't you take a rest?" Hermione said, "If you want to stay here, don't try to contact Heinz. Do you think you can stay until tomorrow? If you insist on going to work at this time tomorrow, I can arrange for you to go on a business trip. However, given my experience, I would want to deal with things rationally. Whether you are staying or leaving, you have to think clearly instead of avoiding the issue."

Grace understood that Hermione was being sensible.

She nodded. "Thank you for taking me in, Hermione."

"Don't worry, I won't tell Heinz that you're here. If he comes looking for you, I will tell him that you're safe. Can you promise me that you'll be safe and not do anything foolish?"

"I never do stupid things," Grace promised.

"That's good." Hermione said, "You can live here in peace. There is a landline in the house. You can call if you want to order takeout. I am going back to the office." "Okay." Grace nodded.

Hermione left.

With Grace alone, she turned off her phone, took a bottle of wine, sat on the sofa, and started drinking.

At the entrance of the newspaper office.

As soon as Hermione returned, she got out of the car and saw Heinz.

"Mr. Jones?" She was not surprised. With a faint smile, she said, "What a coincidence. Since you're here, do you want to come in and have a seat?"

Heinz was not in the mood to bother with Hermione's ingenuine politeness. He said, "Where did you take Grace?"

"Grace?" Hermione smiled and said, "You know that she took a long leave. Why did you come to me to look for her? I was even thinking of looking for her."

Heinz looked sharply into Hermione's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Don't deny it. I know you took Grace away."

Hermione raised her thin eyebrows and a glimmer of light flashed across her eyes. "Mr. Jones, do you have spies in my newspaper office?"

Heinz's eyes looked cold. He looked at her and said in a low voice, "Tell me the address."

If Hermione didn't answer his question or gave an irrelevant answer, it was as good as admitting it.

However, Hermione was not a petty person. She smiled gently and shook her head, "I'm sorry."

Heinz narrowed his eyes, his pupils contracting. "I hope you won't provoke me at this point. The consequences would be unbearable."

"Mr. Jones, I really don't dare to agree with that statement." Hermione snapped back, "You lost a living person and you're asking me to hand her over. Do I look like Grace's keeper?"

Heinz's face darkened and he looked embarrassed. "She left the newspaper office with you. Do you dare to say you have no idea this happened?"

"I know." Hermione said, "We were together a while ago, but not now."

"Tell me, where have you hidden her?" Heinz asked.

Hermione shook her head and said, "Pardon me, but this, I cannot tell you. I just want to say that she's safe. She just wants to be alone without any disturbance."

"She switched off her phone." Heinz said, "I can't replace her now."

Hermione lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, she's fine. She just wants to have some peace and quiet. You'll give her this small freedom, won't you? Mr. Jones, you are getting desperate and this is not a good thing."

Heinz frowned and said in a low voice, "Chief Editor Lowe, if you don't tell me, can you take responsibility for whatever happens to Grace?"

"Mr Jones, if anything happens, it's all because of you, not me. It was because of you that she is in a bad mood." Hermione was not afraid of Heinz's threats. She looked at Heinz and said in a deep voice, "Grace is now very upset. Do you have to make things worse to be happy?"

Heinz was startled. Hermione's words made him calm down instantly.

However, despite not being able to see Grace, he still felt anxious.
