Hermione was very surprised. She didn't expect Heinz to look for her.

She was just about to head back. When he asked to speak to her, she knew that it must be about Grace.

Hermione nodded. "Okay."

They went to another lounge. After entering, Heinz thanked her first.

"Thank you, Editor Lowe, for accompanying Grace at this time. I will remember this."

"Mr. Jones, you're welcome. I'm actually Grace's cousin," Hermione casually explained. "We're relatives who haven't seen each other for many years, but we're really close. It's because we're related by blood."

"I see." Heinz was also surprised. He nodded and continued, "That's great. I'm glad that you're relatives."

"Mr. Jones, go ahead. Tell me what you want to say," she said politely. "But no matter what you say, I hope that the media will stop hurting Grace."

"I need you to write a draft personally," he stated in a deep voice, "I want you to broadcast my past with Jodie and tell everyone about what happened."

"You mean... under my newspaper?"

"Yes!" Heinz responded, "Jodie died six years ago. That was the news that came out at the time. Dig that back up and attach pictures. I'll give you the benefit of a sole interviewer."

Hermione looked at him and understood what he meant. "Well, Mr. Jones, you and I will be working through the night then."

"That's no problem. I just want to turn the media's attention away from Grace."

"Then, we'll have to collaborate with the media," she added. "And it's best if we have really juicy news."

"Don't worry, I do," Heinz added. "A video that shows what kind of person Jodie is."

"What kind of video is it?"

He lowered his head a little and answered softly, "It's disgusting."

Hermione paused for a moment and then smiled. "Okay, as long as you have this determination, I have the courage to do so. I'll take care of it."

Heinz nodded. "It looks like we're destined to have a sleepless night."

"Of course. My cousin didn't get those eggs

thrown at her in vain, did she?" She smiled. "I will draft this myself."

"Jodie is in my hands."

"If it's convenient for you, let me see her."

"Of course it's convenient."

"Let's go. I want to take a look at this woman first!"

They came out soon after.

Zachary had already taken care of Grace and left with her.

After Heinz came out, he didn't see her anywhere, so he knew that Grace had already left.

A bodyguard came over and reported to him in a low voice, "Miss Smith, Mr. Zachary, and Mr. Henley have left first. They are not heading back to our villa." "Follow them closely no matter where they go. You mustn't let down your guard this time."

"Yes, sir!"

The bodyguards left soon as well.

Hermione said, "Before I see Jodie, I need to change my clothes and wash up first. This is too unpleasant."

"It's up to you," Heinz replied blandly.

A car sped along the road.

Grace sat in the car and her gaze was dim.

Next to her, Zachary's clothes were also stained, and Tyler was also in a mess, but Grace was in the worst state.

Almost all the eggs had hit her body and her face. The rest had been stained because they were trying to protect her.

Her usually bright eyes were dull. Her spirit had been defeated.

"Grace, you can't be like this," Zachary said worriedly. "The mastermind hasn't even shown up and you're already so down. The real battle hasn't started yet."

The phone suddenly rang.

Grace looked down at her cell phone. It was Alice.

She answered the phone. "Alice?"

"Grace, I just saw the news. You were attacked, weren't you?" Alice asked anxiously. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Grace immediately comforted her. "Don't worry. Are you with Little Gary and Ernest?"

"They are in the room. I secretly came out to call you. I saw the news online about you being attacked, but the children still don't know about it." Alice choked up and continued in a low voice, "If Little Gary replaces out, he will probably throw a fit about protecting you again."

Grace felt her heart ache. "I'm sorry. I've made you all worry about me."

"Grace, where are you going to stay when you get back?" This was what Alice was most worried about. "I am at Ernest's place so you can come here. We will be stronger united."

"Alice, I can't be with Heinz," Grace stated in a low voice. "I can't bring trouble to Little Gary and Ernest now."

"Grace, you are a fool if you don't stay together with him," Alice replied. "I feel like the person behind these wants you to break up with Heinz. If you really do so, then you'll be falling into their trap. Do you understand?"

"I know," Grace said softly. "But for now, I can't bear to mess up."

"Come on. Let's work together to deal with the person behind all this." Alice was filled with indignation. "If Jodie was here, I would tear her apart."

"I'm not going," Grace stated. "You don't have to worry about me. I need to have some quiet time to think about what to do."

Alice also knew that Grace was having a bad day, yet what worried her the most was whether their goal was too big, and whether the children would be implicated.

Alice had no choice but to agree sadly, "Well, don't worry. I'll take good care of the children." After hanging up the phone, Grace calmed down a little. She looked up at Zachary and said, "You are right. I can't allow myself to be depressed anymore."

"That's good." He glanced at her. "Come back with me now so you can take a bath and change your clothes."

"Okay."

Tyler did not say anything, his gaze occasionally fell on Grace's face.

She might look ghastly, but she had quickly gotten over it. This surprised Tyler every time. Grace was impeccable at standing back up again. No matter how many times she got knocked over, she would always stand back up so quickly.

If it had been any other woman, they would have cried and complained about what had happened that day. However, Grace was always calm and composed.

"If it's still the same tomorrow," she said, "I'll come out and hold a press conference for myself."

"Let's see how Heinz will deal with it first," Zachary responded. "Grace, don't worry, and don't be too hasty to take action."

"I agree that it's not the right time for you to make a public appearance right now. We still don't know who is after you yet."

It was true that Grace had no idea who it could be. She shrugged her shoulders resignedly. "I'm already in this state now. There's nothing worse than this."

"I'll call to ask Hermione later," Zachary told her. "I'll replace out what she and Heinz discussed. If nothing goes wrong, I think we can take action soon." Just then, the car suddenly braked, and all of their bodies lurched forward.
