True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 763

At 9:30 a.m.

The press conference was about to start.

The bruises on Queenie's face were still there. She looked haggard, and it was obvious that she was still dumbfounded by the situation.

She wore an elegant dark-colored suit as she waited in the lounge.

When Heinz entered the door with Grace, she quickly stood up. She had an apologetic expression on her face.

"Heinz. Grace," she greeted awkwardly. "You guys are here."

"Hello, Chief Stone." Grace smiled. When she saw the bruises on Queenie's face, she was shocked. Jodie had really crossed the line; she was reckless enough to beat up an elderly woman.

"Hello, Grace." Queenie was impressed by her kindness as she had still greeted her despite all that had happened.

Her eyes became teary as she looked at Grace. "Grace, I am so sorry for what I have done towards you. I sincerely apologize."

After that, she bowed.

Grace was astonished, and she quickly reached out her hand to hold Queenie. "Chief Stone, you don't have to."

She insisted bowing again. She looked up to Grace and apologized once again, "Grace, you have suffered enough. It was all my fault as an elder, and I am deeply sorry for that. I hope that it's not too late." Grace shook her head.

Queenie then turned to Heinz and said, "Heinz, we were the ones who were in the wrong. To tell you the truth, we were indeed being selfish back then and had other intentions. Seeing you and Grace together, we felt proud, but oddly down at the same time."

"After all, we wanted you to be happy and not to be alone anymore, but once we actually saw it, we felt disappointed."

"Especially Nathan and Pearlyn, they had mixed feelings."

"I was the same. I wanted it to happen, but at the same time, I also didn't."

"After that, Jodie returned, and we were suddenly filled with hope again. We really wished for you to stay with Jodie, and we didn't think about Grace's feelings at all."

"This was all because of our own selfishness.

I feel really ashamed as I face you right now. I don't know what I can do to make it up to you."

"I'm really sorry. I hope that both you and Grace can accept my apology."

As she said that, Queenie bowed to Heinz.

Heinz frowned and replied in a deep voice, "It's all over. Chief Stone, there's no need for all of this."

"I truly am ashamed to face the both of you. I feel like I am not human," Queenie said. "Actually, there is still one thing that I've been hiding from you two."

"What is it?" Grace was a little surprised.

"It's about your body," Queenie stated. "Grace, the condition of your uterus isn't that bad. Even though your endocrine disorder is rather serious, your uterus is not in a bad shape. I exaggerated it because I knew you two would not understand the test. I told my examiner to write in your report that your uterus wall is thin, but it was not the truth."

"It was because I didn't want you to have a baby so soon. I had mixed feelings when I first saw Grace."

"I was being selfish and I apologize to you now. You can have a child anytime soon."

Heinz's brows furrowed tightly, a sharp glint flashing across his eyes. "Chief Stone, you've crossed the line." "Yes," she admitted, feeling extremely apologetic. "I feel so sorry, and that is why I can't face the both of you. I had been living in guilt all these while, but don't worry, the medicines I prescribed to Grace were all supplements. They act as vitamins and it's good for her body. They have no side effects." "I'm telling you now, Grace, you just have to take care of your body, and you will be able to get pregnant."

Grace felt very surprised, as she never would've thought that this was what had actually happened. She was in shock.

As she looked at Queenie who was standing before her, Grace felt chills run down her spine. She thought that it was normal for people to be selfish sometimes, but to take such extreme actions, it was too much.

Selfishness and evil thoughts would definitely affect people's principles of dealing with the world.

Once they cross the line, it would affect someone else's life.

She looked at Queenie in a daze. After a long while, she smiled bitterly and said, "I thought that you would be professional, but it seems that I was too naive."

"I'm sorry," Queenie apologized.

Grace shook her head and said, "Well, it's fine. It's good to not have a child. If I did have a child, he or she would be suffering with me in my stomach when things like this happen. I would rather have my child be conceived in a peaceful condition."

Unlike now, a total mess.

Heinz also felt deeply remorseful. He didn't expect Chief Stone, whom he trusted, to be so terrifying.

He raised the corner of his mouth coldly and said, "Chief Stone, I can't believe how tainted your heart is."

"Heinz, I'm really sorry," Queenie repeated. "I truly am."

At this time, the door opened.

Lester's voice sounded from the door, "President, Miss Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Lawson are here."

At this time, Pearlyn pushed Nathan into the lounge on a wheelchair. They saw Queenie, Heinz and Grace.

Pearlyn's eyes were filled with embarrassment. The corners of her lips twitched as she said to Grace and Heinz, "Heinz, we are here. I hope that it's not too late. Please forgive our ill intentions. Please forgive us for our stupidity and selfishness all this while."

Grace saw them and thought about what Queenie said earlier, her heart beating vigorously. She didn't know if she should trust them.

She remained silent.

Heinz looked at them calmly, then glanced at his watch. There was 15 minutes left.

He said in a deep voice, "Since you are here, let's talk about your speech later."

"I'll do it first," said Queenie. "Let's get down to business. Once I'm done speaking, Pearlyn and my brother in law will continue with their speeches. This way, all three of us will be out here to clarify the situation. Everyone will realize the truth."

In fact, the current situation had changed a lot, but things would be much clearer if the Lawson family stood up themselves to clarify the situation. It would clear up all the rumors in an instance. Heinz nodded and agreed, "Okay, Chief Stone. You first."

"Chief Stone, please follow me first," Lester stated. "We have invited a lot of reporters. I hope that you can answer their questions truthfully later."

"Of course." Before going out, Queenie glanced at the Lawson family couple and reminded, "Pearlyn, Nathan, it's only right for us to clarify this matter. It's only right for us to do so as humans." "Don't be confused and let innocent people suffer. Even if it's not for Jodie, you should remember what Heinz did for you in the past six years so that you won't be regarded as inhumane." "Pearlyn, Nathan."

"I'll go first."

Queenie finished her sentence and left.

Heinz and Grace looked at each other.

The Lawson family's two elders looked at Grace, both of them feeling deeply apologetic.

"Grace." Nathan opened his mouth. "We have received our karma. We had been selfish people, and now we are being punished. I hope that you will feel justified now."
