"Did you come for me?" Grace was stunned.

Tyler nodded. "Yes, I saw the news articles about you this morning. What the hell is going on?"

When Grace heard his words, she was very moved and said, "Thank you, Tyler. However, it's a long story."

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the coffee shop." Tyler added, "Oh, wait, let's go to my mom's villa. She has rented a villa for a year. Let's head over there to wait for my mom and have a talk." "Okay." Grace followed Tyler to the villa.

The villas at Painter Village were very beautiful.

After they reached, Tyler opened the door and they entered together.

"You have the key," Grace asked.

"That's right," Tyler answered. "I live here when I am in Julesburg. What would you like to drink?"

"No, I'm good," Grace replied.

"Okay." Tyler still took an unopened bottle of water and handed it to Grace. "Summarize it for me," Tyler said.

"This is so embarrassing." Grace smiled in embarrassment, feeling extremely awkward.

"It's okay. You don't have to be so with me," Tyler comforted. "This is not funny at all. Why was Heinz married?"

Grace didn't know what to say. "It's a long story!"

"Then tell me slowly."

"Alright!"

At this time, outside the villa, there were two sneaky figures.

"Are you done filming?" A man asked.

"Yes." The other said, "I filmed it clearly. She entered the villa with another man alone. This would be exciting news tomorrow."

"I've also done taking pictures," another man noted. "Let's go back and get the money. Let's go."

The two of them put away the cameras. When they were about to turn around and leave, four strong men suddenly appeared.

The two of them stood close to each other.

"Give us the camera," the tall man warned in a deep voice.

"Who, who are you?" One of the men, who was holding a camera, asked.

"You secretly took pictures of other people and have violated the law," the strong man said in a low voice. "Hand over the camera."

"We didn't take any photos," they immediately denied.

"Don't talk nonsense with them. Just grab the camera from them," another man chimed in.

After that, two of them held down the sneaky men and grabbed their cameras.

The big man removed the memory card from the camera and deleted the contents in it. Then he told the two sneaky men, "Come with us and tell us who you are."

"We are reporters," one of them immediately answered.

"Where's your reporter's license?" The tall man asked again.

The two of them stopped talking.

"Take them away!"

The four men held the two sneaky fellows by their arms. The group quickly and quietly left Painter Village.

Another group came and replaced the four and they were arranged to guard the door to ensure Grace's safety. Knock, knock.

Just as Grace was about to finish her story with Tyler, someone knocked on the door.

Both of them were stunned.

Tyler stood up to open the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a bodyguard standing at the door. The bodyguard informed Tyler, "Please ask Miss Smith to come out. It will bring unnecessary trouble to her if others replace out that only two of you are in a house."

Tyler froze for a moment before nodding. "Who are you?"

"The bodyguards whom Mr. Jones arranged to protect Miss Smith's safety," The bodyguard continued, "We just found two suspicious men in front of the villa. They took the photos of you and Miss Smith entering the villa together."

"Ah!" Grace heard him from the living room. She came out quickly and saw the bodyguard. She asked in surprise, "Who took the photos of me with Tyler?"

"I don't know them. They've already been taken away," the bodyguard answered Grace. "Miss Smith, you'd better be careful. After all, there are too many suspicious things going on. It's better to take preventive measures." "Who is it that even spied on us?" Tyler frowned as he pondered over this.

The bodyguard looked at Tyler and alerted, "It's unlikely to be a coincidence. It's like they were arranged here in advance. They knew that you invited Miss Smith to come here."

Tyler's expression changed. He furrowed his brows and said, "What do you mean?"

Grace was also surprised. She looked up at Tyler and then at the bodyguards.

Although the bodyguards were tall and strong, they looked very smart.

"Mr. Henley, your appearance was too coincidental. We all suspected that you had something to do with it." The bodyguards didn't try to hide their suspicions, saying, "If we suspect you wrongly, then we apologize. In any case, this matter is still under investigation and it will eventually come to light."

There was a hint of helplessness in Tyler's eyes. He looked at Grace and cried out, "Grace, are you doubting me too?"

"No." Grace shook her head and said to the bodyguards, "I can assure you that he has nothing to do with this. Tyler is my friend and he won't harm me."

There was a touch of gratitude in Tyler's eyes as he claimed, "You should hurry up and check it out. Don't let them go. You must investigate it clearly."

The bodyguard just nodded. "Miss Smith, if you want to talk to him, please go to a public area. You'd better be careful."

"I see. What you say is true," Grace agreed. "Tyler, let's go to a coffee shop."

"Alright," Tyler didn't reject.

In order to avoid suspicion, they quickly walked to a coffee shop.

After sitting down, he ordered two cups of coffee.

Grace smiled and apologized, "Sorry, Tyler."

"It's fine." Tyler shook his head helplessly. "It's right for them to suspect me. However, it's too much of a coincidence for them to follow us. Could it be that they've followed me to Julesburg from Northern City?" "If that's the case, who else has such an influence to do this?" Grace was also perplexed. If she analyzed it properly, she could also understand. If the person didn't have enough influence, he definitely wouldn't arrange for someone to follow Tyler here.

Tyler frowned. "This person seems to know Heinz, Jodie, and the direction of the whole

thing."

Grace was stunned.

"And it seems like they are plotting to ruin your reputation." Tyler continued to analyze, "It's targeted at you. That news didn't comment on Heinz at all."

Grace suddenly felt a chill in her heart and she felt that even her back was a little numb.

She thought about it carefully. Yes, the news was targeted at her and it didn't say anything about Heinz.

"Look, Grace," Tyler continued, "Even if the news was true, Heinz should be the one taking responsibility for being with you. However, he was not criticized. It was you who was condemned, saying you are a mistress."

"They indeed didn't comment on Heinz." Grace thought carefully and studied the situation. She felt very strange. "Maybe they didn't dare to offend Heinz."

"The news did not comment on Jodie either." Tyler spoke again, "Since there was news of her death record appearing six years ago, and if their media did not mention it, it must have been instructed. It seems that someone wants to mess with you."
