Lester froze for a moment, then said, "Go ahead and cry. Don't blame me for not reminding you if I can't help but beat you up." Jodie was utterly speechless.

She stood up, went out, took a taxi, and left quickly.

Heinz called Lester in the car. "Go after her and send her back home. From now on, we have nothing to do with her."

"Yes!" Lester understood and accepted the order, "Don't worry, I will give them a clear explanation."

After getting the divorce certificate, Heinz felt much more relaxed.

He drove back and didn't know where to go for a while. Soon, he unconsciously arrived at the gate of Emerald Apartment. Looking at the watch, it was 4:30 pm. He didn't know if Grace was there at the moment.

Had she gone to pick up the children?

Heinz called the butler again and asked, "Did you pick up the children? Or Grace did it?"

"Miss Smith asked me to pick them up. She's going on a business trip for a few days."

"Business trip?" Heinz frowned. "When did she say that?"

"Just now," the butler answered. "She should be at the airport now. She was on the way when she made the phone call."

"Where is she going on her business trip? Do you know?" Heinz asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know." The butler continued. "Miss Smith told me to take good care of the children and left. I don't know what's going on at all. I can only promise her. Besides, my task is to take care of the young masters."

"D*mn it." Heinz hung up the phone, started the car quickly, and went to the airport.

At the airport.

Grace carried a big bag and a camera bag with her. Following Hermione, they were headed on a business trip together.

Hermione pulled her luggage and said to her, "It's better for you to go out and take a trip like this. Don't think about the negative things."

"I know." Grace said, "I'm in quite a good mood now."

"Don't force yourself," Hermione reminded. "I know how it feels to force myself to do so." "Hermione, I can't hide anything from you." Grace answered with a smile. "I'm feeling kind of bad, but I can't bring myself to worry about Heinz either. It's not easy for anyone to go through something like this. I'll go on a business trip with you. That way, I will be able to think things through."

"Yes, let's go!"

Hermione did the check-in procedures and the two of them took their boarding passes. Then, they went to wait for the plane.

When Heinz arrived, he couldn't replace Grace at the airport.

He took out his mobile and called Grace.

Soon, the call was connected. "Grace, are you at the airport?"

When Grace received Heinz's call, she was startled. "Why did you call me?"

Heinz felt a stab in his heart. He said in a distressed and apologetic tone, "Jodie and I have settled the divorce certificate. I am a completely free man now."

Grace was stunned and she held the phone without speaking for a long time.

"Grace?" Heinz couldn't hear any sound and shouted again.

Grace then said, "I see."

There was no sentence after that.

Heinz had thought that she would say something else, but she didn't.

After waiting for a long while, he had to ask, "Where are you going for a business trip?"

"Abroad." She didn't tell Heinz the exact location. It was more like a diplomatic order, which he couldn't stand.

"Can't you tell me your specific address?"

Grace did not answer but replied directly, "Heinz, if you have time, go accompany the children. I am going on a business trip and don't want to be disturbed."

Her sentence stunned Heinz so much that he didn't know what to say.

When she heard the background noise through the phone on Heinz's side, she thought, "Did Heinz come to the airport?"

"Alright, I'll take good care of the children. You can rest assured." He was very obedient this time and did not ask any more questions. Even though he was very anxious in his heart, he still did not ask. He was afraid that Grace would get angry.

"Goodbye." Grace didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.

Heinz was dazed, and he suddenly remembered that he was still at the airport.

He had to call again. "Grace, I'm at the airport."

Grace paused for a moment and said, "I heard."

Heinz was taken aback again. "Then, can you come and meet me?"

"I don't want to see you," Grace replied.

"Grace!" Heinz begged quickly.

Grace added, "Heinz, we broke up."

She did not forget.

"It was you who proposed it."

Heinz was stunned. He couldn't believe what she said, which made him feel very awkward. "Are you angry? So, you don't want to see me?"

Grace did not answer his question, "Goodbye."

This time, she hung up the phone and turned it off.

Hermione was listening to the whole process.

She looked at Grace and asked worriedly, "Why don't you meet him?"

"It will only trigger gossip if we meet at this time. Even if Heinz and I are not guilty, outsiders will think that we are." Grace thought that it was fine if it was her, but they still had children. "Now, I don't dare to meet Heinz out in the open. Although I have a clear conscience, I really can't stand gossip."

Hermione sighed, "Aren't you afraid of his misunderstanding?"

"If it's easy to misunderstand, then there's no mutual understanding between us," Grace said. "He'll understand."

Hermione smiled and said, "Let's go then."

After turning off the phone, they boarded the plane and the plane soon took off.

Heinz stood outside the airport and watched the planes depart. He didn't know where Grace was flying off to.

She chose to leave at this time, probably because she really needed to calm down. He could understand her, so he quickly turned and drove away.

Soon, Jensen called. "How was it, Heinz?"

"I've got the divorce certificate," Heinz answered in a deep voice, "I'm at the airport now. Grace has gone on a business trip. Do you know where she is heading?"

"A business trip?" Jensen was stunned. "I don't know. I haven't received any news. Is she going on a business trip at this time to hide?" "She needs to think things through," Heinz informed. "She probably doesn't want to be a part of gossip, and she might be even more afraid of meeting me. She's afraid that I'll hurt the children if I keep pestering her."

"You understand her?"

"There's no need to say anything for me to understand her," Heinz added. "I'm well aware of what's going on in this matter."

"Oh, you two." Jensen sighed and claimed, "Last night, when Grace spoke for you, it's obvious that she understood you completely. She was shocked and sad, but she didn't make things difficult for you."

"I know."

"Where are you?" Jensen said, "Let's have dinner together. Perhaps, Alice and I will accompany you?"

"Alice certainly doesn't want to eat with me." Heinz knew it very well.

"It's obvious, but since you are divorced, she will accept it." Jensen repeated, "Let's have dinner together."

"Alright."

Soon, Heinz booked a restaurant.

Alice tagged along with Jensen when he was working.

They sat down in the private room. Alice still wasn't polite and said directly, "Show me the divorce certificate you just got. I'll see if it's genuine or a fake."

Heinz was really speechless. "The divorce certificate is here. How can it be fake?"

"Who knows whether you found someone to deal with it in a perfunctory way or not." Alice couldn't help opening the divorce certificate and glanced at it. "An idiot did not make this stamp, right?"
