Heinz felt warm and fuzzy on the inside because Grace was sensible.

She had always been able to draw clear distinctions between right and wrong.

Heinz had originally thought that if Candace wasn't buried in the Jones family's ancestral tomb, Grace would be unhappy. But now, he found that his worries were unnecessary. Grace was a sensible person, and she knew what she had to do.

For a moment, Heinz stood at the door and did not move for a long time. He simply watched Grace from a distance.

Grace looked at Lawrence and added, "Master Jones, I don't understand how you can still act so righteous and ask anyone to do things for you. You think you can do whatever you want. Don't you think you are going too far?"

"Tell me, what have you done for others?"

"Have you been asking for favors all these years without giving anything in return?"

"You're wrong in the first place. You're ridiculously wrong."

"People are generous and they can forgive you, but it doesn't mean that you are right. Yet, you had the audacity to make such an outrageous request?"

"Why didn't you think of this consequence when you wanted to push Mom over the edge? If you wanted to kill her, how could you ask to be buried with her?"

"You're now telling me that you want to be buried with Mom, and even in the Jones family's ancestral tomb at that. Don't you think you're ridiculous?"

"I don't know how you are not feeling guilty at all about your wife and children. Not only that, but you're also making things worse. Even after my mother-in-law died with hatred many years ago, you still don't feel sorry for her."

"You're crossing the line!"

"I think that the ancestors of the Jones family will not agree to this either. So you might as well give up on this idea."

By the time Grace had finished speaking her mind, both Lawrence's face and neck were flushed red. He looked at her and replied fiercely, "If you don't agree to bury Candace's ashes in the Jones family, I won't be buried in the Jones family with Heinz's mother, either. No matter what, I will be buried with Candace after my death."

"I don't care where your ashes are going to be buried, but it's absolutely impossible for you to be buried with Mom," Grace said. "I don't care how much you both loved each other or how shameless you are. Whether your love is abnormal and incomprehensible, I really can't care less. In short, I won't agree with your request. My mother can only be buried alone in one place. As for you, you can either choose to be buried in the ancestral graves or replace a place somewhere else. You can't be with Candace."

"You..." Lawrence was about to say something but was interrupted by Alice.

"Yes, as long as we are here, you can never be with Mom," Alice chimed in. She was so angry that she stood up and pointed at Lawrence and shouted, "You are being ridiculous. Heinz is a very strong person, yet he has been bullied by you. Who do you think you are?"

At this time, Nerissa noticed Heinz and Zachary standing at the entrance of the hall. Heinz had a look of despair on his face.

Then, when she saw that Grace and Alice hadn't noticed the men, she cleared her throat and said, "Heinz and Zachary are back."

Grace was stunned and subconsciously looked in the direction of the door. When she saw the expression on Heinz's face, her heart ached in distress. He looked very sad.

Even though he did not show it, she could still feel Heinz's sadness.

Lawrence was stiff. He turned his head slightly and saw Heinz standing at the door. Looking at him, he felt very embarrassed. It seemed that Heinz had been back for a long time and had overheard their conversation.

"Heinz!" Grace walked toward him while looking at him worriedly, fearing that he would be sad.

Heinz also walked toward her quickly. When he came to her side, he reached out and held her hand. Then, he looked down at her with a tender gaze.

Only when he was looking at Grace that the look in his eyes would be so pure and soft.

"Are you all right?" Grace whispered.

Heinz nodded. "Don't worry. I'm fine."

Grace knew that he was devastated. There was no point for him to vent his anger. Lawrence's request was too excessive. That man only knew to hurt Heinz and his mother every time. Now, his mother was gone.

And Heinz had to suffer alone.

Grace lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. Suddenly, she felt a lump in her throat. "Heinz..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was full of sorrow. She asked, "Did you hear everything?"

The words in the latter part of the sentence became heavier with sobs.

Heinz knew that she was worried about him, and he was very thankful.

He lifted the other hand and gently lifted her chin.

The two looked into each other's eyes.

Heinz saw the tears in Grace's eyes.

"Yes, I heard it."

She tightened her hold on his hand and said, "I won't agree to it."

"I know." Heinz said, "He called me earlier and I refused him. I didn't expect him to come to bother you. He won't give up until he gets what he wants, but I'm very thankful that you didn't agree. You and Alice are both good people."

They were all people that hold firm principles.

Lawrence also stood up at this time and turned to face Heinz.

"Heinz, Grace, since you feel that burying Candace in the Jones family is inappropriate, I'll bury her. We will leave the Jones family to be buried together. If you're willing to help Candace and I, we will be eternally grateful to you," Lawrence said.

As soon as he said this, everyone took a deep breath.

"Don't you understand?" Alice finally lost her temper and she roared, "That is impossible! You can forget about ever being buried with Mom. How can you two be buried together? You keep making trouble wher you're alive, and you want to continue making trouble even when you're dead. This is too much."

Lawrence did not agree with her. He argued, "Helping a pair of lovers can be regarded as doing good deeds."

Heinz ignored him. He said, "Zachary and I went to choose a grave for Candace earlier today. We also went to the police station to handle the formalities. We are waiting for Jensen to bring the body back at night. You can sign the paperwork. Then, the body can be cremated."

Heinz didn't want to trouble Grace by making her leave the house, so he had asked Jensen to bring some people to take care of the formalities.

Lawrence panicked when he heard that the body would be cremated. He quickly walked up to Grace and Heinz and said, "Give me the body, I'll cremate her!"

Heinz twitched his lips indifferently. "Give it to

you?"

"Yes," Lawrence insisted. His voice was filled with hope.
