Simon Brown frowned slightly. "Grace, I didn't expect you to be in Mr. Jones's office. I have no idea why you're here but it doesn't make sense for us to talk about the past. Everyone knows that you're my ex- girlfriend."

Heinz Jones frowned and asked, "Since she used to be your girlfriend, why did you marry Miss Smith from Sunny Group then?"

Simon was stunned by his question.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "It's a long story."

"Oh." Heinz Jones smiled meaningfully and spoke slowly, "Mr. Brown, it's very poignant of you to remember your ex-girlfriend despite being married for so many years. Obviously, both of you had a good relationship."

"Mr. Jones, you must be joking." Simon smiled awkwardly. "Grace and I had more than just a relationship."

Heinz Jones' eyes darkened. He glanced at Grace Smith, she looked icy-cold.

He could tell that she was extremely affected by Simon Brown's presence.

She was very distressed.

Heinz had misunderstood the relationship between them. He thought that Grace was distressed because seeing Simon Brown had got her reminiscing about the past.

Heinz Jones glanced at her and asked, "Grace, do you have any idea what Mr. Brown is talking about?"

"Sorry, Mr. Jones. It's not my obligation to answer this question." Grace refused faintly.

Heinz Jones' expression turned cold.

Simon Brown noticed Heinz's change in expression. He paused for a moment and finally understood the situation. He smiled gently and asked, "Grace, Why are you in Mr. Jones' office today?"

"It's none of your business, Mr. Brown." Grace answered coldly. "Currently, we are nothing more but acquaintances. Please remember your place and stop creating slander. I do not want others to have a misunderstanding towards us, especially your wife."

"Okay." Simon Brown immediately said. "I know you hate me. I'm not afraid that Mr. Jones will judge me because this has always been in my mind. It's unnecessary for us to get to this point." He seemed to be adding fuel to fire.

Grace only frowned and continued to glare at Simon.

Heinz Jones seemed annoyed.

But he kept his composure.

"Mr. Brown, if you have no other business to discuss with Mr. Jones, you may leave now. Mr. Jones is a busy man, please do not waste his precious time." Grace said curtly.

"Thank you for the reminder." Simon was not angry. Instead, he smiled as he said, "Let's meet up next time. This is not a good place to catch up."

Simon Brown spoke suggestively on purpose.

Grace Smith frowned in disgust and lowered her head. She didn't want to talk to this disgusting man.

She didn't know that he was such a disgusting man before, but now she did.

Heinz Jones didn't say anything because he knew Simon was doing it on purpose.

Grace Smith was clearly over Simon Brown, yet he was creating the ambiguity deliberately. Grace seemed disgusted by his presence.

When Heinz Jones saw her expression, he was not so angry anymore.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Brown, let's get down to business."

"Yes, you're right, Mr. Jones," Simon replied, he smiled and began to discuss his work with Heinz Jones. "Mr. Jones, we had a meeting within Sunny Group. The profit-sharing ratio that you proposed, I'm afraid that it is not enough for us."

"Mr. Brown," Heinz Jones said calmly, "It may not be enough, but you are still making a profit, aren't you?"

Simon Brown was stunned, but then he smiled and said, "Mr. Jones, you must be joking. Prices are rising in all aspects. In the past, we could still make some profit, but it's difficult for Sunny Group to make a profit now as a whole now."

"It being difficult does not make it an impossibility," Heinz Jones said simply. "As discussed, that will be the profit-sharing ratio. If you agree, then we have a deal. If you don't, I wouldn't mind to call it off." "Mr. Jones, I hope you can consider to increase our share by 10 percent." Simon Brown pleaded.

"10 percent?" Heinz Jones shook his head, "No, that will never happen."

"But we couldn't get much profit out of it." Simon Brown said.

"Your net profit would be ninety million," Heinz replied calmly. "Ninety million dollars of profit is already great for this project. Don't be too greedy, Mr. Brown. It's not possible for you to gain both a good reputation and money from this."

Simon Brown's eyes flashed with surprise, then he turned around and bit his lips. "In actual fact, the project is not that profitable, it won't be that much. The numbers are inaccurate." Heinz Jones smiled and said, "Then I shall call off this deal. There's no reason to continue if we can't make a profit, am I right, Mr. Brown?"

Simon Brown stole a glance at Heinz Jones fiercely.

At this time, Heinz's phone rang.

'TH need to pick up this call. You can think about it for a few more minutes." He said dismissively to Simon Brown.

He took the phone and went into the lounge.

Nothing could be heard when the door closed behind him.

Simon Brown suddenly turned around and looked at Grace Smith. "Grace Smith, why are you in Heinz Jones' office?" Simon Brown asked.

Grace glanced at him and completely ignored him. She lowered her head and continued with her work.

Simon was stunned. He walked to her table and asked impatiently, "Can't you hear me? What are you doing here?"

Grace continued to ignore him.

She could tell that Simon was in a hurry to rake in more profits for Sunny Group, after listening to the conversation between the two men. However, Heinz Jones had many choices, he did not have to cooperate with Sunny Group.

Simon Brown had clearly overestimated himself.

Grace glanced at him and then continued to lower her head without saying a word.

Simon grew angrier as he noticed Grace Smith's aloof attitude. He sneered and asked, "Grace Smith, answer me. Why are you here? What's your relationship with Mr. Jones?"

Grace raised her head and looked him in the eye with disdain. "Mr. Brown, you've stepped over the boundaries. Please remember your purpose here today."

Simon Brown frowned and looked at her coldly. "Are you angry at me for telling Heinz Jones that you're my ex-girlfriend?"

"I was never your ex-girlfriend," Grace said coldly. "You and I both knew that we were not in love."

Their relationship was a sham!

At this time, the door of the lounge opened.

Heinz Jones stood by the door and saw Simon talking to Grace with his back facing the door. "Do you dare deny that you planned to have sex with me that fateful night?" Simon was saying fiercely. Grace Smith snorted helplessly and retorted, "What's the point of that question? Simon Brown, you clearly know what happened that night. Why do you ask again?"
