True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 73

Heinz Jones frowned with displeasure. "I'm not in the mood for jokes." Heinz Jones said.

"Ha, so you would prefer to bottle up your frustration. Anyway, it's your fault. Why are you so obstinate in this matter?" Jensen Charm laughed and said. "Flattery works better on women." Jensen Charm added Heinz Jones curled his lips and looked towards the door, but there were no signs of movement.

Grace Smith rushed down and went straight through the door, only to see that the door was surrounded by two well built henchmen, and that there were another two inside. One was gripping Lilian Ross tightly. She had on only a sheer nightdress, nothing else underneath. It was clear what had transpired in such a situation. Such a pitiful state of affairs.

Grace Smith sighed in her heart. It broke her heart to see her tortured as such. It was a shame when a woman does not value her own worth, but would rather just be the mistress of another woman's husband. As she peered in the room, she spotted Lorenzo Chen on the ground only having underpants on. He was silent and fearful.

Four henchmen, lead by a woman, confronted this repulsive duo.

Mrs. Chen, leading this inquisition, had a round figure and was dressed in a silk gown. She was elegant yet gave off a slightly volatile air, and the shimmering pearl necklace she was wearing added to this impression even more.

Grace Smith did felt that Mrs. Chen would tolerate no nonsense despite her elegant demeanor.

One could see that Lilian Ross had been slapped till her face was swollen, blood trickling down the corner of her mouth.

The two henchmen were taking turns to repeatedly strike her, without intention of stopping.

Grace Smith shouted in agitation, "Stop hitting her!"

The sudden interruption caused all eyes to fall on her. Mrs. Chen, at the forefront, frowned. She felt provoked and was incensed.

Grace Smith could empathize with Mrs. Chen's plight. This cruel expression stemmed from fury and a need for retribution.

She wasn't bad looking, with her round eyes, well proportioned nose and lips. She had aged slightly and had a little more weight on her, but apart from that she was still captivating indeed.

The fact that Lorenzo Chen was cheating on her seemed inexplicable. He probably was just bored, going after someone new just for the sake of variety. Such a terrible person.

"Who are you?" Mrs. Chen asked, she was icy in tone. "This is a private matter, what right do you have to intervene?" Mrs. Chen added.

Grace Smith was impressed with Mrs. Chen's self control in this situation. Even after discovering this infuriating situation she still could remain calm.

In contrast, looking at Lilian Ross, who had a meek and subservient expression, made her feel nauseous.

"I am Lilian Ross's colleague." Grace Smith explained, "I'm shocked to see this." Grace Smith added.

Mrs. Chen glared at Grace Smith, the disdain clear in her eyes. "Oh really? You're her colleague? Oh wow, don't tell me that you just happened to be passing by at this time." Mrs. Chen said. Grace Smith realized that Mrs. Chen was sharp and shrewd.

She had to be on guard with her words and actions, or she might replace herself getting even more entangled in this situation and getting both of them into more trouble.

"Nice to meet you." Grace Smith nodded and said. "Mrs. Chen, is that right?" Grace Smith asked.

"Yes, I am Lorenzo Chen's wife." Mrs. Chen spoke calmly. "Since you are here, you probably already know what is happening." Mrs. Chen continued.

At this moment Lorenzo Chen, who had been squatting on the ground, became animated.

"Honey, this woman is a liar. She is awful. She doesn't have good intentions. She tried propositioning me, but I ignored her." Lorenzo Chen spoke to Mrs. Chen while gesturing towards Grace Smith. "She is definitely here as part of a plot to take me down." Lorenzo Chen added.

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen narrowed her eyes, and her expression turned lethal.

"Really, trying to seduce you?" Mrs. Chen sneered and looked at Grace Smith, almost in an appraising fashion.

Grace Smith was enraged, but presented a calm facade.

Mrs. Chen saw her blank expression and frowned, "It doesn't seem to bother you, what he just said." Mrs. Chen said.

"Mrs. Chen, you seem like an intelligent woman. I think I won't need to defend my innocence." Grace Smith responded in a low voice.

"Nonsense, you tried to lure me. You planned to manipulate me." Lorenzo Chen spoke indignantly. "You led me into this trap." Lorenzo Chen said.

"Huh!" Mrs. Chen spat the words out. "Lorenzo Chen, shut your mouth. The truth is clear to me. I am not dumb. We will settle matters between us later. Now is the time to deal with these people." Mrs. Chen said.

Grace Smith moved forward from the door. She slowly walked to just few paces in front of Mrs. Chen, at a comfortable distance.

Seeing her approaching, Mrs. Chen ceased her words and looked at her suspiciously.

"Mrs. Chen," Grace Smith said clearly without fuss, "Director Chen's words are not true. I've never thought of him that way, he's old enough to be my father. Anyway, I am not into older men."

Mrs. Chen furrowed her eyebrows. "Alright then, He's messing around with another woman, and now he says you have been seducing him too, so tell me what are you doing here in this woman's house?" Mrs. Chen asked.

Grace Smith said, "Mrs. Chen, you are a smart woman. I will not hide the truth from you."

Mrs. Chen looked sharply at Grace Smith.

Lilian Ross was frightened and cried, "Grace Smith, no!"

"Lilian." Grace Smith said, "You mentioned to me before but I did not understand. Now it all falls into place, the man who you were in love with is Director Chen."

Lilian Ross looked confounded.

Grace Smith looked at her reassuringly.

"Are you Grace Smith?" Mrs. Chen interjected coldly.

"Yes." Grace said, "Lilian complained to me before that she might be deceived by her lover. She didn't know that the man she was in love with had a family. But after she discovered this fact and wanted to end things, this man promised to get a divorce from his wife."

"What, a divorce?" Mrs. Chen asked, she immediately became furious when she heard this. "Really." Mrs. Chen said.

"Forgive me for speaking so directly, but even if Lilian Ross is partially guilty. Today, Director Chen is caught at her home, so he is also guilty." Grace Smith explained.

"Grace Smith, you low life b*tch." Lorenzo Chen exclaimed in anger. "You are full of poisonous slander. Honey, you have to believe me. I was seduced by Lilian Ross. Look, they are in cahoots. They planned this together to manipulate me." Lorenzo Chen explained.

Grace Smith felt a chill down her throat. Looking at Lorenzo Chen, half-dressed and sensing no shame whatsoever, she felt her anger rising.

"Director Chen, are you delusional?" Grace Smith retorted. "Are you Adonis, a handsome Greek God? In your mind, we are all pining for you. Do you have some self-awareness? Who in the right mind would have indecent intentions for you?" Grace Smith asked.

Lilian Ross who was silent, sneered. "Yes, I was fooled by him. I even had the ridiculous notion of wanting to marry him. But I didn't know for a long time that I was being deceived."

Lorenzo Chen froze. " Didn't you know this fact from the beginning?" Lorenzo Chen asked.

Lilian Ross panicked slightly, and immediately retorted, "How would I have known? By the time I found out, you said you were on the brink of divorce."

Grace Smith immediately chimed in, "Lilian, Mrs. Chen is intelligent and clear- headed. You can't defend yourself. No matter how you try to explain yourself, you have to admit having some guilt, it is undeniable."

Lilian Ross was stunned.

Grace Smith looked at her, shaking her head slightly.

Mrs. Chen froze, as the anger in her slightly receded. She glanced at Grace, and her expression softened.
