True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 764

Grace paused. She did not expect Nathan to say such a thing to her. She stared at him in a daze. As she stared at the old man before her, she thought that he looked extremely sick and exhausted because of his illness, as well as because of his daughter.

"In the beginning, we were very selfish. Despite whoever Heinz marries, we were not happy about the idea. But often, we would feel remorseful about it, and wish that he had someone there for him."

"However, when we woke up in the morning, we would still feel uncomfortable about it. In our hearts, no one could compare with our daughter, Jodie."

"Now, my daughter is back. Our grief is gone, but it brought us new pain and helplessness."

"After experiencing so much, we have understood that in life, we have to endure hardships and karma. We shouldn't ask for too much."

"For us, Jodie being alive is the best thing we could ask for."

"Now that her scandals are out, we feel remorseful about it. Regardless, we apologize for it."

Nathan finished. Then he stood up from his wheelchair.

Pearlyn held him, and they bowed together towards Grace and Heinz.

"We're sorry."

Heinz and Grace looked at each other in dismay. In the end, they could only remain silent.

It didn't make sense to say anything at this moment.

Just then, the press conference began outside.

Queenie stood in front of the microphone behind the conference table. Facing the camera flashlights, she cleared her throat and started, "Hello, everyone. I'm Queenie Stone, Jodie's aunt. I'll take this opportunity to clarify something today."

"That is, Grace was never the third party in their relationship."

"When she was in a relationship with Heinz, my niece was reported to have died in Alsburg, just like what was reported in the news this morning."

"We were in deep grief during that time because she was gone. It would have been hard for any family to endure it."

"Not to mention that she was still very young."

"In the past six years, my cousin, Mrs. Pearlyn Drake, and my cousin- in- law, Mr. Nathan Lawson, were in a state of extreme sadness and grief."

"One of the biggest pain on this planet is to have your child die before you and to have to grieve for them. I believe that some of you in the audience could understand the pain."

"Six years ago, Jodie and Mr. Jones got married. Because they were young, they didn't hold a wedding after they impulsively received the marriage certificate. Eventually, their relationship came to an end." "Mr. Jones signed the divorce agreement and gave it to his lawyer. When the lawyer gave it to Jodie, she refused to sign it. Without divorcing Mr. Jones, she went to Alsburg." "Because we were living in sadness and agony, my cousin and her husband did not file for Jodie's divorce."

"We could feel that she might still be alive. We didn't want her to die." "In the past six years, Mr. Jones has taken care of Pearlyn and Nathan like they were his own parents. He brought them to treatments for illnesses and arranged a comfortable life forthem." "You could say that Mr. Jones took great care of both of them. He even hired maids and security guards for them to ensure that they lived well." "Most people wouldn't be able to do it as well as Mr. Jones did."

"In fact, he has also taken great care of me."

"Before this, he introduced Grace to us. We were selfish and we were worried that Heinz would have his new family soon and that he would no longer take care of us."

"We even said harsh things to her, but she didn't do anything against us. She didn't mind Heinz taking care of us and she asked for him to continue doing so. Therefore, we were deeply touched by her kind- heartedness."

"What I am trying to say is, Grace was never the third party in Heinz and Jodie's relationship."

"She met Heinz six years ago after Heinz and Jodie agreed to sign the divorce papers. The two of them had a child together. They reunited again five years later and confirmed the relationship." "Therefore, she was not the third person in the relationship."

"On the contrary, six years later, Jodie suddenly came back from the dead and returned to us. She couldn't let go of it and we didn't want to either."

"But the truth is what you all have seen in her video that was on the news. I believe that everyone in the audience has seen it. She cheated in the marriage six years ago and there's no need for me to elaborate more."

"I just want to say that I wish that everyone would give Heinz and Grace some personal space and not disturb them anymore. They are both kind people."

"I hope that everyone would treat this kind-hearted couple with kindness. Let's make the world a better place by having less jealousy and hate."

"As for Jodie, I also hope that you will all give her personal space and allow her to change for the better, to become a new person." "Thank you all."

After finishing her words, Queenie bowed deeply.

At this time, Lester stepped forward and said, "Next, let's welcome Jodie's father, Mr. Nathan Lawson to the stage to say a few words to everyone."

At this moment, Jodie's parents stepped onto the stage together.

Pearlyn held him as they both got onto the stage to face the reporters and microphones.

Nathan pursed his lips lightly, and then calmly opened his mouth, "Hello everyone, I am Nathan Lawson. I feel extremely ashamed to be standing here."

"It was my fault that I didn't teach my daughter well. I allowed my only daughter to do such shameful things, and allowed Heinz to suffer the consequences of her actions."

"It was all my fault. I didn't teach my child well enough, that she had brought so much pain to everyone and the society, especially to Heinz and Grace."

"I feel extremely ashamed, humiliated, but also helpless."

His words were spoken very slowly. Every single word was spoken in a clear, bell-like manner, delivering word by word to everyone present.

The camera lights flashed and the media agencies recorded everything.

Nathan was calm and every word he said was spoken with power.

"The words that Madam Stone said before were all true. It's true that we knew about it when he and Grace first met." "Heinz introduced Grace to us. I couldn't accept it at that time because I was being selfish. I didn't want my son-in-law to marry someone else, even if I knew my daughter might not be alive."

"It was selfish. I was caught up in my own selfishness. I had extremely mixed feelings and I was struggling between what was wrong, and what was right."

"Only now, I have reflected on my actions and realized how selfish we have been this whole time. We feel very sorry towards Heinz and Grace."

"My daughter, Jodie, still did not reflect on her own actions when the video was leaked. She even hit her aunt, Madam Stone yesterday."

"I felt very ashamed and very remorseful. It was all because I didn't teach my child well. Now, I am here in front of the media and I wish to ask for your forgiveness. I was truly blinded by selfishness." "At the same time, we would like to apologize to everyone, Mr. Jones, Miss Grace, and our cousin, Madam Stone."

"It's all our fault and we're truly ashamed."

"Please don't bother Mr. Heinz and his wife anymore. They are true lovers and they should be given respect and blessings."

"As for the news that appeared on the internet, it was related to my daughter and her affair with Aaron Clarke. They created all kinds of problems because they were jealous of Heinz and Grace." "I'm deeply sorry. We are sorry."

After that, Nathan and Pearlyn bowed to everyone.

The crowd below was in an uproar.

Some reporters immediately began to ask questions.

"Mr. Lawson, are you saying these things because Mr. Jones is pressuring you?"
