Heinz remained calm, with absolute rationality and self-restraint. He was just like a businessman who was talking jovially at the negotiation table. "Why are you anxious, Dr. Clarke?" Heinz asked while looking at him with piercing eyes.

Aaron did not say anything. He was also watching Heinz as he understood that Heinz did not come here for inquiries only.

This was a war without smoke or gunpowder.

He could not let his guard down.

"I think you are too heartless, Mr. Jones. Even if you're going to get a divorce, you shouldn't be so calm when she attempted suicide," Aaron said.

"It's not that we were going to get a divorce," Heinz corrected his mistake. "You should say that we were already divorced. Dr. Clarke, you should understand that since we have divorced each other, we should not continue to keep in touch. Ambiguity would only hurt us."

Slightly stunned, Aaron sneered and said impatiently, "Mr. Jones, you had a child with someone else while you were still married. The news of you having a child has been spread on the Internet. Although outsiders don't know that you got married six years ago, the people who went to Alsburg all know that you and Jodie were married."

Heinz was not in a hurry either. He said calmly, "Dr. Clarke, you probably know that Jodie and I signed a divorce agreement before both of you went to Alsburg six years ago."

"She didn't sign the agreement," Aaron immediately retorted.

"As I expected, you know everything," Heinz smiled slightly and said. Staring at Aaron with sharp eyes, he continued in a deep voice, "I believe that I have treated the Lawson family well. The only people I am sorry for are my children's mother and my children. As for the others, I think I have been fair and just."

Aaron narrowed his eyes and furrowed his brows.

Heinz watched Aaron's movements. He had fallen silent, and behind the lenses, a trace of anxiety flashed across his eyes.

"Dr. Clarke, have you ever hurt anyone in your life? Do you know what it feels like when you know that you have hurt someone, or when you have done something wrong?" Heinz asked, still watching him. However, his gaze had grown sharper as he continued, "But you will get used to it after you do too many wrong things. That is because you would feel that there is nothing wrong with it anymore." Aaron averted his eyes from Heinz as he did not dare to meet his gaze.

"Mr. Jones, after saying so much, I still don't quite understand what on earth you are trying to say."

"I think I have already made it very clear. I want to know about Jodie's pregnancy and miscarriage in Alsburg. She insists that the child is mine. Dr. Clarke, you are a doctor who also went to Alsburg. Do you think the hospital would assign a pregnant woman to work there?"

"Are you saying these things because you want to deny the fact that you are the father of Jodie's child?" Aaron asked Heinz in return.

Heinz smiled gently. On the contrary, he was not in a hurry to refute.

Aaron was totally surprised to see that Heinz was so confident. He frowned and looked at Heinz again, only to replace that Heinz was full of self-confidence, as if he had already seen some opportunities.

"Dr. Clarke, you seem to feel a lot of injustice for Jodie. I believe you know about everything between her and me. I wonder why you seem to understand it more than I do. Also, you seem to have some hostility toward me," Heinz said bluntly.

Aaron involuntarily clenched his hands and replied with a frown, "What you said is too inappropriate. As an outsider, I don't know much about what happened between you and Jodie. What is your purpose of saying so?"

"It seems like you enjoy playing cat-and-mouse games," Heinz said with an extra hint of sharpness in his eyes.

He knew that Aaron would not take the initiative to say anything, and it was normal for him to keep Heinz in suspense. Frowning, Aaron raised his voice and said, "Who is the cat and who is the mouse? Why don't you just tell me directly?"

"Dr. Clarke, I remember that your program in Alsburg only lasted for two years, or at most, three years. It seems like you were always going back there. You even stayed there for six years," Heinz said, trying to change the topic, but his momentum was still overpowering. He made very sharp statements every time he spoke.

Aaron's face changed. He lowered his eyes and replied, "It was my right to do so, wasn't it? The hospital didn't object to it. Mr. Jones, I believe this doesn't affect you, does it? Besides, I'm very popular in Alsburg. I helped a lot of people and cured their diseases."

Heinz smiled and implicitly said, "Can you also help your colleagues relieve their pain?"

"What do you mean?"

"In the literal sense," Heinz replied with a chuckle, and then continued solemnly, "My people are investigating everything that happened to Jodie in Alsburg. They will also visit the place where you guys worked over there. I believe there will be news soon."

Aaron's face grew pale again. Looking at Heinz, he said irritably, "Why did you tell me this? You can investigate whoever you want."

"I am investigating who the father of her baby is," Heinz said bluntly. "Maybe I won't replace any evidence since the baby is already gone, but it's easy to replace out who Jodie used to have an ambiguous relationship with. No one can do things without leaving a trace."

Aaron's face was as white as a sheet, and it was twisted into a frown.

Heinz was quietly watching the change of Aaron's expression and he continued to add fuel to the fire. "Once we replace any clues, I think this is not just about holding anyone responsible anymore. It may also affect that person's reputation. At that time, all the hard-earned reputation that he had gained from his years in Alsburg will be ruined overnight, and no one will hire him for work again."

"Mr. Jones, if you have finished speaking, please leave now," Aaron impatiently asked Heinz to leave.

Heinz smiled and was not in a hurry to leave.

Just at this moment, a text message flashed on the screen of his mobile phone. Taking a glance at it, he saw the message: "Heinz, I saw Queenie go up into the building where you are in. She is probably going to see Dr. Clarke as well."

This was a message from Jensen.

A glimmer of light flashed across Heinz's eyes as he looked at Aaron, who looked even more impatient now.

"Dr. Clarke, why are you in such a hurry? Wait a minute, you have an honored guest, don't you? I think it'll be good for everyone to meet and talk."

"Who?" Aaron asked as a trace of panic flashed across his eyes. "Who is it?"

Heinz ignored him and sent a message to Jensen, saying, "Find a way to inform Jodie that someone is investigating Aaron."

Jensen immediately understood what was going on as soon as he received Heinz's message. He immediately replied, "Are you drawing the snake out of its hole? Don't worry. Leave it to me. I'll handle it." Heinz was very pleased. Jensen was his good friend and he always had no difficulty understanding what Heinz was trying to do.

Then, Heinz turned to Aaron again.

"Are you playing with me?" Aaron was already feeling very impatient, and he once again ordered him to leave, "Mr. Jones, I have no obligation to entertain you. Please leave."

"I'm waiting for your distinguished guest," Heinz said. "Dr. Clarke, why are you in such a hurry to ask me to leave? Are you afraid that I will learn the truth?"
