True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 985

Heinz looked up at Zachary with a bitter smile and said, "Thank you for understanding."

Zachary stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, but he did not say anything.

Perhaps at this time, what Heinz needed most was silent companionship and support.

Just then, the phone rang again.

When Heinz looked at it, he found that Lawrence was calling again.

He chuckled under his breath and said to Zachary, "Look, he is a madman. If I don't answer his call, he would keep calling until I do."

Zachary frowned and said, "You don't have to answer it."

In such a situation, it was useless to say anything.

Lawrence proposed his request without taking into account Heinz's feelings or anyone else's. He was only focused on achieving his own goals and completely ignored everyone's pain.

His love was supreme, and no one was comparable.

Therefore, Zachary thought that Heinz should not pick up the phone. Heinz hung up the phone again.

But the phone rang once more. Heinz glanced at it, and as expected, it was still Lawrence. This time, Heinz hung up the phone silently.

"Alex, let's go," Heinz instructed.

"Yes, sir." Alex immediately started the car.

"Let's go and replace Jensen," Heinz said.

Alex started the engine and drove straight to the police station.

They did not say anything along the way.

In the interim, Nerissa had arrived at the Smith family's home.

She came to see Grace and Alice. The three people were sitting in the living room and chatting. In the middle of their conversation, the butler came in and reported, "Mr. Jones is here and he said that he wants to see you."

Grace paused for a moment and asked, "Mr. Jones? Are you talking about Heinz's father?"

The butler nodded and replied, "Yes."

Grace was very surprised. Why had he come at this hour?

The butler saw Grace's hesitation and he cleverly asked, "Why don't you give Mr. Jones a call and

ask him how to deal with his father?"

Grace shook her head and said, "No, Heinz is very busy. Let him come in."

Grace thought that it had been two days since Candace's death, thus the meeting was necessary. She had to meet Lawrence sooner or later, so she felt that there must be a reason why he took the initiative to show up.

After giving it a thought, she nodded and told the butler to bring him in.

Before long, Lawrence was brought in by the butler. When he saw Grace, Alice, and Nerissa, he did not hesitate to ask, "Grace, do you have time for a talk?"

Grace stood up and said to him, "Sit down, please. Butler, please serve Master Jones a cup of tea."

Lawrence stood still. She did not call him father but Master Jones instead. It seemed that she hadn't accepted him.

Having Grace kept addressing him as Master Jones, there was a touch of gloom in his eyes. He lowered his head and sighed without saying anything. Then, he sat down on the sofa next to her.

The butler then brought a cup of tea and put it on the table. He said to Lawrence, "Master Jones, please have a cup of tea."

Lawrence did not respond.

Grace also sat down on the sofa and looked at him, asking, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Lawrence did not look up or speak, but she knew that he had her question.

He was trying to replace his words.

Alice did not have a good impression of Lawrence, especially since Candace died because of him. Thus, she was really not keen to see Lawrence.

Alice held back for a while before she spoke, "Master Jones, since you came to see Grace, just say what you want to say. Stop keeping quiet."

Lawrence raised his gaze to look at Grace and Alice, and then at Nerissa. Finally, his gaze fell back on Grace.

He said, "Well, I'll cut to the chase and tell you why I'm here."

"Hurry up and tell us what happened," Alice urged.

She thought that wasting people's time was equivalent to robbing them of their health and wealth.

"I want to bury your mother's ashes in the Jones family's ancestral tomb."

Hearing this, the three women were all shocked.

They stared at Lawrence in disbelief while their expressions were filled with astonishment.

Grace's first thought was that his request was absolutely out of the question.

"I don't think I can agree," Grace refused directly. She looked at Lawrence and said, "The relationship between both of you is simply lovers. You two weren't even married, and my mother absolutely has no reason to be buried in the ancestral grave of the Jones family. Moreover, it is very unfair to Heinz and my mother-in-law."

She had refused without hesitation.

And Lawrence had never expected this.

"Well, then tell me, where do you want her ashes to be buried? She is dead now. Do you still want to make a fuss over a dead person?" Lawrence replied in an accusing tone.

His tone made Grace and Alice feel very uncomfortable.

Grace answered, "I can't agree with what you have done. According to the rules, I shouldn't say this to you, but since you came to me, I don't think you would agree even if I don't say anything." Lawrence frowned, feeling puzzled.

"Master Jones, both you and Mom were not legally married. When you left home with her, you had a wife. You weren't even legally divorced. You have no right to arrange my mother's cremains. If you forcibly handle the matter, we will call the police."

"I just want her to be buried by my side. When I pass, I can be buried with her," Lawrence spoke firmly.

Grace responded impolitely, "People like you who are disloyal to a married family have no right to do this. I don't know if you have mentioned this request to Heinz, but I do not agree to it, and Alice will definitely not agree either."

Alice nodded and said indignantly, "Of course, I won't agree. How could I? It's too much."

"Why not?" Lawrence said, "I'm doing this for Candace's own good."

"Because you're the cause of her death, because you two were not married, and because we are her legal relatives who can rightfully deal with this. You are not qualified in any way." Grace stood up and looked at him, saying, "No matter what Heinz thinks, I will not allow you to hurt him and his mother any more than you did."

At that moment, Heinz and Zachary had just returned from the police station after finishing their business.

They stood at the door, and Heinz's body shook violently.

From a distance, he stared at Grace who had refused Lawrence's absurd request. Heinz felt very relieved.

She had defended him.
