Heinz was used to Marry's blatant and wicked words, so he was not surprised.

Diego, on the other hand, was really shocked to hearthat.

He was surprised that a young lady could be so rude. He squinted his eyes as he scrutinized Marry closely.

"What are you looking at?" Marry's temper had worsened upon having stayed in the detention center for so long. "Have you never seen a beauty like me?"

Diego frowned as he repeated dumbfoundedly, "Beauty?"

Hearing this, Marry immediately burst into anger. "What's wrong? Am I not beautiful? Let me tell you, I'm f*cking beautiful!"

Diego's brows furrowed deeper as he replied seriously, "I'm sorry, but I can't see your beauty. You're just nasty."

"Piss off!" she snapped.

Marry could not accept the criticism..

She had always been beautiful, and she wouldn't allow anyone to tell her otherwise. "What would you know, you old piece of sh*t? How dare you say that I'm not beautiful?" "Marry," Heinz cut her off. "You probably haven't looked at yourself in the mirror, have you? Even a madman looks better than you do. You are ugly and disgusting to look at."

"Go to hell, Heinz!" Marry roared. "How could a gentleman ever talk back to a woman?"

Heinz's face fell and he thought to himself, "D*mn, she really knows how to cuss."

Diego was still frowning as he remarked, "It seems that what your mother did for you is not worth it."

He then glanced at Heinz and said, "Heinz, let's go."

"Yes." Heinz did not say anything more after that. It was a waste of time to argue with a lunatic like Marry.

Seeing as they were really about to leave, Marry yelled again, "Hey! Don't go. No one is allowed to leave. Do you hear me? Come back and talk to me! Listen to my curses!" However, the only response she received was the distant footsteps as the men retreated away. They ignored Marry entirely and quickly left the detention center.

Marry was unwilling to give up, but she couldn't do anything else. She could only grit her teeth as she glared at their retreating figures.

Back in the car, Heinz looked at Diego's gloomy face and quickly comforted him, "Uncle Diego, that is how Marry is. Don't take it to heart."

Diego shook his head. "I didn't take it to heart. I'm just shocked. How could a young lady be so vicious?"

"Her viciousness is only the tip of the iceberg. What you see is nothing compared to the person she was," Heinz commented. "Grace and Marry's husband were in love once, but Marry got involved in their relationship and drugged both of her sisters. If it weren't for me, Jensen, Grace, and Alice, Grace and Alice's lives might have been ruined."

"At the time, Alice was barely 18 and she was a minor. Marry stole Grace's boyfriend to exact revenge on Grace. She even harmed an innocent Alice in the process. Marry was both ruthless and cruel."

"After a one-night stand, Grace got pregnant with twins and gave birth to two sons. Marry took one of them away and sold him to a human trafficker. She told Grace that the child had died. Fortunately, the child came back to me."

"Later, she kicked both Grace and Alice out from their family without giving them any source of livelihood."

"Five years later, Grace and Alice returned, and Marry tried to hurt them again. If that had not happened, we wouldn't have done this to her."

As he recounted the past memories, Heinz felt a surge of anger well up inside of him. He had to suppress it in order to not lose his temper. "How cruel!" Diego was utterly shocked.

Heinz nodded in agreement and added, "What she did was unforgivable, hence we hope that she will surrender to the law."

"Yes, that is of course." Diego nodded and said, "If she is not subjected to the sanctions of the law, it will encourage her to continue her wicked acts. Therefore, she should be punished in order to restore social peace, as well as to prove justice to the victims."

"Uncle Diego." Heinz turned to him and asked, "What about you and Madam Scott?"

"We're getting ready for a divorce," Diego answered truthfully. "She refused to sign the divorce papers, so I had to resolve to sue her."

Heinz paused in surprise. Although he knew that Diego would divorce Miranda, he didn't expect that he would act upon it so soon. "I'm sorry. I didn't expect to ruin your marriage." "Huh, you don't mean your words, do you?" Diego chuckled as he looked at Heinz, his gaze sharp. "If I'm not mistaken, you must be glad that I finally got rid of Miranda."

Heinz lowered his head in embarrassment when his true thoughts were exposed.

"Yes. I hope that you will leave Miranda. She has done things behind your back at the cost of your reputation, that's why I was afraid that you might be taken advantage of in the future. I wouldn't want that to happen."

Diego nodded and replied, "I was worried about this too, so I thought of a divorce. At first, I thought that it wasn't easy for her while I needed someone to take care of me. However, things have turned out this way. Come to think of it, I was a selfish man as well. She wanted too much, and I couldn't afford to give her that much. We can only allow each other freedom now."

"Uncle," If Heinz hadn't found out that Diego had admired his mother when he was younger, perhaps his mother would've chosen Diego, and she would've been held in the palm of his hand for the rest of her life.

However, Diego didn't get to marry the woman he loved. So he could only make do for the rest of his

life.

Heinz also learned from Hugo that his mother did not receive all of Diego's sincerity.

Heinz gazed at Diego and wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Heinz hesitated for a moment and finally spoke, "Fate is hard to come by, and we shouldn't settle for less for the rest of our lives. Unfortunately, my mother did not understand this earlier."

After all, she was young and naive, thus she ended up depressed.

Diego narrowed his eyes, and a trace of pain flashed across his eyes.

Heinz noticed that as he took a deep breath before whispering, "That's her biggest regret in life."

Diego pursed his lips and his gaze fell. After that, he looked at Heinz and smiled.

"No one really understands anything until it is too late. It goes the same for everyone. They wouldn't know how good they had it until they lost it."

Heinz nodded. "I wish you a happy life with no regrets."

Diego smiled tenderly.

"Where are you going now?"

"I'm going to meet your grandfather," Diego replied. "I'll stay with him for a few days, and then return to the capital city."

Heinz fell silent and sent Diego to Old Mr. Carter's house.
