True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 974

"What else do you want?"

Diego asked in disgust, as he regarded Miranda with contempt.

He thought Miranda had finally revealed her greedy nature. Diego regretted falling for the wrong woman.

"Can you afford what I want?" Miranda looked at Diego and inhaled a deep breath. She was about to fly into a rage. "Tell me, what have I gained for being with you all these years? I have nothing. Do you think that I will be satisfied with only a house? I'm telling you, if I have worked hard for more than ten years, I would have enough money to buy a house."

"Diego, is this all I get for being with you? You didn't want to help me with my daughter's affairs, then so be it. I shouldn't have used your name for my own benefit, but although you have strictly obeyed the law over the years, I doubt that I was the only one who took advantage of your reputation. Why are you being so cruel toward me alone?"

"Because you are my wife!" Diego bellowed. He would never allow his wife to use him like this.

"Ha!" Miranda chuckled mockingly, a sad smile drawing on her lips. "At this point, am I even your wife?"

The only thing she had done was sleep next to him in the bed and nothing more than that.

Diego was born to be a cold-hearted man, who had almost no desires.

Miranda had no one to go to even when she had felt lonely throughout the years.

She had initially thought that she could still protect her own image, yet she couldn't even do that now. What a failure she was.

Both of her marriages were failures.

She gazed at Diego sadly and cried even harder. "I don't want anything. If possible, I don't even want a house. I'd rather you save Marry for me. That's the only favor I ask of you as your wife. If you want a divorce, then help me save my daughter. I don't want anything else."

Diego's brows furrowed at this. Her request was beyond his expectations.

He then gazed indifferently at her and questioned, "Don't you know what your daughter has done?"

"Despite everything, she is still my daughter," Miranda replied in a low voice. "I can't cut her off just because of her mistakes."

Diego sneered and spoke firmly, "I won't help anyone who breaks the law. It's a matter of principle."

"Marry is not in a good place mentally."

"Which hospital did you get that from?" Diego asked in a low voice. "A diagnosis made in order to avoid the consequences of committing a crime has no effect. This is a futile attempt. If everyone could just avoid the consequences of committing a crime with a simple diagnosis as such, then the world would be a terrible place."

"Are you going to help me or not?"

"No," Diego stated in a deep voice. "This is the condition of the divorce. I'll give you a house as compensation, and you can also suggest other things. However, I will not help your daughter." Diego promptly got up and left after that.

"Diego!" Miranda shouted desperately, "Aren't you afraid of retribution for being ruthless?"

"Aren't you afraid of retribution for ignoring the law and stepping on other people's dignity?" Diego retorted, and did not look back as he walked away.

Miranda was stunned by his words.

Soon, she was the only one left in the empty room.

After a long time, she got up from the ground, wiped the tears on her face, and slammed the door shut.

She returned to her room, turned on her phone, then gave Heinz a call.

As soon as the phone was connected, she began to swear, "Heinz, you are a loser. How dare you break your promise? You lied to me. You disgust me.

Heinz was not surprised when he heard Miranda's voice. Diego probably had a fight with her after returning home from dinner.

"What did I promise you?" Heinz asked blandly.

Miranda paused before replying, "You told me that Diego wouldn't know about it, and yet you still told him!"

"Yeah, I did," Heinz answered nonchalantly. "I told him that before you went to the cafe, I did not say anything afterward."

"You...!" Miranda was rendered speechless and could not say a word for a moment.

Heinz remained calm as he continued, "I've said it before, there's no remedy to this. Moreover, you were so arrogant back then. What are you going to do now that Mr. Quell knows everything?" "Heinz," Miranda hissed. "You are despicable. You are a shameless *sshole. You're not a man."

"What does it matter to you?" Heinz returned sarcastically. "It only matters to my wife. I don't really care what other women think."

"You b*stard." Miranda was so angry that she could only cuss at him.

Heinz remained collected as he spoke again, "Now that everyone knows you've used dirty tricks behind their back, you're furious. If you had known that this would be the result, why would you have done it in the first place?"

"I..." Miranda gnashed her teeth and shouted, "I hate you!"

"I don't expect you to love me either." Heinz smiled and uttered, "I hope you stay away from us."

"Don't even think about it."

"Stop messing around, otherwise, you'll be going to jail with your daughter!" Heinz remarked and then hung up the phone.

Miranda was too angry to say anything. She sucked in deep breaths and slightly eased up after a while. Then, she picked up the phone again and called Xavier.

"Xavier."

"Aunt Miranda?" Xavier asked, "How's it going?"

"Don't mention it," Miranda complained. "I really shouldn't have listened to you. I agreed to let Alice go, and now, we've lost our leverage."

"What's wrong?" Xavier asked in surprise.

"It's Quell," Miranda replied angrily. "Heinz's grandfather turned out to be Diego's boss. Heinz called him Uncle Diego, and they have known each other for a long time. Now, Diego wants to divorce me while Marry can't be saved. I'm left with nothing."

All her hard work in the past few years had been completely destroyed.

Xavier was stunned upon receiving the news, unable to respond to her.

"Now that no one can save her, they must be on guard as well. We can't do anything at the moment," Miranda continued. "Xavier, what can I do? Please give me an idea."

However, there was no reply from the other end of the call.

"Xavier!" Miranda called impatiently.

Xavier immediately came back to his senses. "I'm here!"

"Give me an idea. What should I do?" she repeated.

"Aunt Miranda, if Mr. Quell divorces you, then everything will be over. I don't think you can let him divorce you. You should try to make amends with him first, perhaps he'll forgive you." "No." Miranda shook her head. "He wouldn't want me anymore now that we've completely fallen out."

"But, if you leave him, there's really no way for you to do anything." Xavier remained rational as he said, "You're already in your twilight years, what else can you do? You have no family or career. You have to plan for yourself."

"Diego wouldn't want me anymore."

"Then... Do you have anything to hold against him?"
