"Are you worried that he won't be prosecuted?"

Grace looked at Heinz.

"He didn't hurt Alice, and he also sent her back. It can only be counted as an attempted kidnapping." "Xavier didn't really want to hurt me at that time. I think that he would've definitely hurt me if he was ill- intentioned. However, he only insulted me verbally. He didn't do anything extreme. So, you're right," Alice spoke as she agreed.

"Let's follow the procedures then. We'll see if they'll prosecute him," Grace said. "It looks like things are going good."

"You seem optimistic," Heinz remarked as he turned to Grace. "Xavier is not necessarily a good person. You both should not be too optimistic. Let nature take its course. He will suffer the consequences for what he has done."

"You're right," Grace replied.

At this point, she had become Heinz's fangirl.

Then, she gazed at Alex and suggested, "Alex, sit down and have a cup of tea. The tea's aroma is very strong, but it's a pity that I can't have it now. You must be tired. Have a cup of tea before going

back to work."

Alex was flattered by her kind gesture. His eyes were filled with shock as he stared at her. He immediately shook his head and replied, "No, thank you, Mrs. Jones."

Grace gave Heinz a look.

Heinz uttered in a low voice, "Alex, have a cup of tea and then follow me to do something later."

"Alright!" Alex immediately picked up the teacup respectfully. He downed the entire cup without sitting down and remarked, "It's delicious."

Heinz watched as he finished the expensive tea like a cup of water, but he made no comments. He then stood up and said, "Let's go."

The two of them walked out one after the other.

Only Grace and Alice were left in the room.

"Grace, Alex doesn't even dare to drink tea in Heinz's presence."

"Yeah, Heinz's strict about the rules. Even the butler dares not to have meals with us, and it's so boring to eat my meals alone. Thank God you're back. We can eat together now," Grace replied. "Should I return home now?" Alice asked hesitantly. "Since Xavier has turned himself in, I have to go back."

Alice paused for a while before continuing, "I was disturbed by the news of that woman's death. I feel uncomfortable. After all, she is our mother."

Grace nodded. "Ask Jensen to pick you up."

Alice quickly replied, "He is very busy."

"Rosalie deliberately told you about Mom's death that day. She knew that Jensen didn't allow her to tell you, but she still told you. There is something wrong," Grace said. "Although I don't like arguing with the elders, we should not be taken lightly. You can return to the Charm family and live there for a while, and then you can move away. For the sake of your own life with Jensen, you can move back to Hart Villa District. When you have children in the future, you can move in together."

"I'm worried that they won't agree."

"Then let Jensen handle it," Grace answered bluntly. "It'll be better for him to handle the conversation. Children help to smooth things out. If you live together without children, there will be too many contradictions. There will be no way to correct it either."

After pondering for a while, Alice nodded seriously.

She knew she should give it some thought and make up her mind.

On the other hand, Heinz led Alex out of the house and got into the car.

Alex drove the car and asked, "What else do you have to deal with?"

"I have to pick a burial site," Heinz responded.

Alex was stunned. Why did Heinz have to personally choose a burial site?

After thinking for a while, Alex finally understood that it was for Candace.

Now that Grace was pregnant, she wouldn't be able to go out and run errands. She had to stay at home. Besides, it was Heinz's responsibility as a son-in-law.

Alex then asked, "Is it for Madam Lowe?"

Heinz nodded. "Yes."

"President, would you like to send Madam Lowe to the Lowe family in Southland to bury her?" Alex suggested.

"I have to discuss this with Zachary. If you haven't reminded me, I would've forgotten about it. Send me to Zachary's place first."

"Yes, sir!"

Heinz held his forehead and rubbed the spot between his eyebrows. It was an accident that Candace had committed suicide. Although he had known that Candace would die in a few days time, it was still an accident.

The car soon arrived at the villa of the Lowe family in Northern City.

When he got out of the car, Zachary had already come out to meet him.

Seeing Heinz's serious expression, Zachary raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly call me?"

"Something big happened. I wasn't sure before, but now I'm certain. As Candance's nephew, I think you have the right to know about it," Heinz replied.

"You look so solemn. It seems that things are very serious. Is there something wrong with my aunt?" Zachary couldn't help but frown.

Heinz nodded. "Yes. She committed suicide."

"When did it happen?" Upon hearing this, Zachary's voice cracked and his tone sounded dejected.

"Two days ago." Heinz's face fell slightly.

"What's going on?" Zachary frowned and said, "Come on, let's head inside and talk about it."

When they entered the villa, Nerissa was there as well.

"Aunt Nerissa," Heinz greeted.

"Heinz, you're here," Nerissa answered. "I'll get someone to serve you tea."

"It's alright. I have something to tell you. Please sit down and listen." Nerissa was slightly stunned when she heard this. She could tell that Heinz looked serious, but she did not know what had happened. After a slight hesitation, she nodded and agreed, "Okay."

She gave the servant a look, and the latter quickly went to make tea.

After taking a seat, Heinz gave them a detailed account of what happened the other day. He also told them the results of Jensen's inspection of Candace's evidence and the autopsy in the police station. After listening to him, Nerissa took a deep breath. Her eyes were filled with shock and astonishment. "She left so quickly, I didn't even have time to visit her."

Nerissa's face showed regret.

She murmured, "I really didn't expect that she would leave so soon. At first, your news appeared. I was afraid to make trouble for you, so I didn't dare ask to visit her. I can't believe that she's gone now." "Aunt Nerissa, you don't have to feel bad. It was an accident. We didn't expect things to turn out like this," Heinz comforted her. "She must have thought it through/ The suicide note she left explained things clearly."

Meanwhile, Zachary was in shock. He did not say anything for a long time.
