Grace spoke to Lawrence in a very indifferent manner.

She did not show basic courtesy and was cold as usual.

Lowell was standing by her side. She knew that there were some things that he should not hear.

Hence, she slightly lowered her head and said to him, "Lowell, the seaside is really windy. Can you go to the car and wait for me?"

He nodded and looked at her worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll take you back," she said.

Lowell nodded again, and then turned his gaze to Lawrence. After glancing at him, he did not say anything, and then left.

Lester walked over and arranged for a bodyguard to take Lowell away.

It was obvious that Lowell's feelings for Lawrence were not very deep, and he seemed to be calm.

Grace certainly found it impossible to respect or like Lawrence. He had too many secrets and was irresponsible. It was difficult for people to respect this kind of person.

She looked at him indifferently, with frost in her eyes.

As soon as he saw her attitude, Lawrence squinted his eyes slightly and snorted, "Huh? Shouldn't you greet me first when you see me, as your father-in-law?"

She could also see that he was deliberately trying to cause trouble.

Hence, she said calmly, "Sir, I don't know you. How can I greet you? I don't think it's polite to randomly greet strangers. It's completely unnecessary to do things that would make me seem crazy." "I'm your father-in-law," he said in a low voice. "Now that we know each other, shouldn't you greet me?"

"I'm sorry, I only listen to Heinz. If he wants me to greet you, I will. If he doesn't, then I won't," she said in an even colder tone.

Lawrence seemed to be stunned.

Then, Heinz laughed in a low voice and said, "Yes, this is my wife. If I don't say so, then she doesn't have to acknowledge you. Honestly, there's no need to acknowledge you, right?"

As he spoke, his sharp gaze swept over Lawrence. His eyes were so cold, identical to that of Grace's. He had such an indifferent attitude, and there was no room for negotiation.

Seeing this situation, Lawrence frowned. "What a disloyal son. Even if you don't acknowledge me, I am still your father."

"I didn't say that I don't acknowledge you. I just don't know what to call you, especially when it comes to Grace. Should she call you her stepfather or her father-in-law? Have you ever thought about this problem?" Heinz asked blandly. His seemingly playful attitude was full of intense mockery.

Lawrence was stunned. He knew Heinz was mocking him. With a slight smile, he said, "Don't come at me with that. Since you've already found out, I don't have to say anything. Lowell is your younger brother. It's up to you."

"It's up to me?" Heinz laughed in a low voice. "What happened to you early on? You must be prejudiced. You're clearly guilty, yet you stubbornly refuse to admit your shameless spirit. You and Candace are quite the pair."

Lawrence knew there would be no shortage of this kind of mockery, but he didn't say anything. He just stubbornly stared at Grace, and his eyes seemed to be picking her apart.

She didn't know why he was looking at her like this, but she didn't avoid his gaze, and just looked at him coldly.

Heinz said, "I'll also formally inform you of something. Candace has already left this place with her ex-lover. She wants to be with him for the rest of her life. You'd better leave." Hearing this, Lawrence frowned and immediately scolded in a cold voice, "You caught Candace again, didn't you?"

"What do you mean I caught her?" Heinz asked in a cold voice. "Since when have I been so powerful that I can catch people? In my investigation, I only found out that Candace left with her first love." "Her first love?" Lawrence furrowed his brows into a knot. "Don't come at me with that. I don't believe it at all. I know what kind of person Candace is better than you do."

"Really?" Heinz sneered. "You say you know her better than we do, but I'm afraid you don't understand someone like her. If you don't even understand Grace, how are you going to understand Candace?" "She promised me she would be with me in her last moments," Lawrence said in a cold voice.

He was stubbornly sincere, and it seemed that he had fully believed Candace's words.

Grace smiled coldly. "There are too many men she's promised things to. Why don't you ask which one of them she actually honored?"

Lawrence was stunned for a moment, then he narrowed his eyes and looked at Grace. "Are you trying to challenge the relationship between your mother and I?"

"Challenge your relationship?" She asked plainly. "Do you think I can set you against each other in less than two months? Besides, if your relationship is stable, why do you care about other people trying to challenge it?"

He was stunned for a moment. "What a sharp tongue! I was almost fooled by you."

She ignored him and said, "You probably don't know it yet, but I'm not a child of the Smith family, and I'm afraid Candace won't tell you who my biological father is."

This time, Lawrence was really stunned.

He really didn't know this, and seeing how Grace was, it probably was not a joke. However, Lawrence was an old and experienced man, so he understood everything. He smiled faintly and didn't refute, but there was a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"It's none of my business. Whoever your father is has nothing to do with me. I don't care about Candace's past. Is there anyone who doesn't have some kind of past?"

Seeing how honorable he made it sound, Grace blandly said, "I'm just afraid that you don't understand the past that you don't care about, and there is not much left of the future that you can care about. You two are destined to never meet again. She's left you, and won't see you again."

A sharp light flashed through Lawrence's eyes as he sternly asked, "Where is she?"

"I already told you that she's with her first love. The two of them are reminiscing the past," Heinz said flatly.

He deliberately involved Timothy. Naturally, it was in order to divert some attention, so that Lawrence would not be able to replace her.

"Don't come at me with that." Lawrence looked cautiously at Heinz and said bluntly, "Give Lowell to me; I'll take him away."

"Don't you see it? Lowell doesn't want to go with you at all," Heinz said faintly. "A father like you is really a failure. He doesn't want to bother with you, but you still hang around here. Don't you think it's annoying?"

"So, you want to raise Lowell?"

"I'll raise him, why not?" Heinz chuckled. "I'll raise him for a few years. Why does he need to acknowledge you? When you're old, you'll be all alone. Don't make a fool of yourself."

"Since you're already raising him, then go ahead." Lawrence turned around and was about to leave, but Heinz stopped him.

"You want to leave?" Heinz asked him. He said coldly, "I have more to say."
