Seeing Miranda behaving so arrogantly, Heinz glanced at Jensen.

After that, Jensen smiled and asked exasperatedly, "Madam Scott, does Mr. Quell know how crass you can be?" Miranda's withering glare was leveled at the two young men in front of her, and she tried hard to suppress her anger.

"It looks to me like you're trying very hard to make the Quell family your enemy," she said.

"Nope!" Heinz raised a finger and shook it gently as he said, "We have never thought of being enemies with the Quell family. We just want Marry to surrender to the law and accept the punishment that she deserves. Other than that, we want nothing else."

"Haha!" Miranda laughed mockingly. "It seems that you are determined to take revenge on Marry."

"Let's make it clear. It's Marry who should be punished by the law after what she did."

"It's all the same to me." Miranda said, "In that case, we have nothing to discuss."

She stood up as she spoke.

Heinz looked up at her and warned, "Madam Scott, you'd better think twice before you act."

"Heinz, I would say the same for you." Miranda replied, "I haven't done anything worthwhile for my daughter. I failed to take her with me when I divorced, so she was left to be abused by Candace in the Smith family."

"As far as I know, the treatment Marry received in the Smith family was much better than Grace and Alice's. Candace treated her better than her own daughters," Heinz argued as he felt that Miranda was too ignorant.

"That's what she should do." Miranda sneered and said, "Candace desperately wanted to be the third wheel between Anderson and I, so she should pay the price."

Heinz spoke, "Candace had paid the price, but what about Marry? After she reaped the benefits, she still tried her best to murder her sisters. Time and time again, she tried to hurt Grace and Alice. Shouldn't she pay the price as well?"

Miranda frowned at that.

Heinz gazed at Miranda coldly while adding, "Madam Scott, I hope everyone will obey the law. You don't have to try and game the judicial system, and I won't go to Mr. Quell."

"You want to see Mr. Quell?" Miranda snorted and said, "Do you think you can meet him whenever you want to?"

"Try me," Heinz answered flatly.

Miranda's gaze focused for a moment as she stared at him. She then took a deep breath and uttered, "Well, let's wait and see."

After that, she immediately left the room.

As soon as she left, Jensen stopped the recorder.

"Heinz, it's all recorded."

"Keep it. You don't have to use it unless it's absolutely necessary." Heinz didn't want to influence Mr. Quell's decision using these underhanded tactics.

"Do you think Mr. Quell is unaware of this?" Jensen asked as he still had some doubts.

"Yes." Heinz nodded and explained, "From what I know of Mr. Quell's character, he would never stoop so low. Miranda must have made use of his reputation for her personal gains." Heinz was very certain about this.

Jensen was surprised at how well Heinz knew the other party's personality. "Heinz, why are you so confident in Mr. Quell?"

"Hugo Quell and I are friends." "Hugo?" Jensen was shocked and he questioned,

"Heinz, why didn't you tell me that you knew Hugo?"

Heinz chuckled as he rubbed his temples, looking a little tired. "No matter what I've done recently, the bad guys have gained the upper hand because of my kindness. I'm reflecting on the ramifications of what I've done, whether there's a deeper meaning to all of this?"

"It doesn't matter. Since you know Hugo, why are you still looking for Old Master Carter? Why don't you just meet with Hugo instead? He will pass a message to his father."

Jensen knew that Mr. Diego was Hugo's father.

However, Heinz shook his head and replied, "So far, my actions have missed the mark, so I need to be extra cautious. Grandpa will meet Mr. Diego, and then I will talk to Hugo so that he can give Miranda a warning."

"Hugo is a tough one, all right," Jensen remarked. "His method of doing things is really something. Why didn't you say anything earlier?"

"We have said everything that could be said. So far, Miranda has been lucky enough to get her way. We can only divide and conquer now. Furthermore, we have no idea if the Quell family is truly involved." Heinz looked at Jensen and said, "Jensen, we can't fight a battle that we're

not confident in."

Jensen was stunned. He stared off into space for a moment before he nodded. "That makes sense. I understand what you mean."

In fact, it was still unknown whether the Quell family would defend Miranda. Even if they knew about it, it was still a question of whether they would help Marry. In short, he couldn't pin too much hope on the Quell family.

"We should be ready for whatever comes our way," Heinz spoke in a low voice.

"Then, what if we can't meet our objective?"

Heinz chuckled and said, "Evil cannot trump justice. If worse comes to worst, we'll just fight them to death. Why, are you afraid?"

"If you're not afraid, what should I be afraid of?" Jensen smiled and said, "But you don't have to fight them to death because I'll do it instead. I will replace the people who released Marry. Plus, we are in the same department. If I ask for a public showdown, no one will rise to the challenge."

Heinz laughed at his words.

Jensen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at your confidence," Heinz replied. "Perhaps over the past few months, I've lost myself. I'm also laughing at myself for not being as arrogant as I once was. That's why people have begun to walk all over me."

A loud smack was heard.

Jensen had slapped his thigh.

He said, "I understand. Grace has been keeping you on a short leash. Since you got together and fell in love with her, you've completely become a total sucker for your wife. You have been thinking too much about every little detail, and you're overly cautious and indecisive."

"You're right." Heinz drank his cup of tea before he stood up.

Jensen looked up and blinked mischievously while asking, "So... is Grace to blame for this?"

"Nope, this is on you!" Heinz replied in a domineering tone, "Quit teasing me. I'm willing to be a sucker for my wife. Who cares?"

Jensen curled his lips into a smirk and said, "You seemed rather reluctant and upset just now."

"Who are you talking about?" Heinz deliberately put on a solemn look and said, "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Jensen widened his eyes and howled, "F*ck, you're really shameless, aren't you?"

Nevertheless, Heinz ignored him and smirked. It was obvious that he had regained his previous

confidence.

Then, Jensen picked up the pot of tea and straight away drank from it. "I should stop being so frustrated. It's only a suspension, what's the big deal? Even without being a policeman, I can still crack the case." Heinz said, "Go and work it out with your subordinates. They have their work cut out for them. In the meantime, I'm going to see Grandpa now."

"Okay, don't worry about it." Jensen promised, "I will take care of everything, including Candace's funeral."

Heinz paused slightly and said, "You'd better choose the best cemetery and funeral parlor."

"Got it." Jensen nodded before adding, "But I've got no money."

"Don't worry. I have!"

Jensen smiled once more at Heinz's words.

The two exchanged grins and then walked out of the room together.
