Chapter 17
"I, I don't know." Lilian's crying voice came, which Grace could feel that she was very distressed. "Big
german shepherds, I'm really scared."
"Miss Ross." Grace felt more resentful towards Heinz now. "Pass him the phone and I'll talk to him."
"No." Lilian immediately raised her voice. "Grace, I'm sorry. I really can't do anything. I told Heinz that it
was you who took the photo. I'm sorry."
Grace's heart went blank for a moment, and a wave of anxiety crashed over her. She quickly calmed
herself down. Heinz had already known that it was her anyway, didn't he?
Since Lilian said it, then so be it. Anyway, the cat will be out of the bag sooner or later.
"Alright, Miss Ross, it's ok."
"Heinz might come after you, and he might let his dogs bite you. Why don't you just run away?"
"No, Miss Ross, running away is not my style." Grace said, "What's more, you are still with him."
"No, I'm not with him anymore. He let go of me after I told him the truth."
"You are not with him now?" Grace asked in surprise.
Lilian seemed very embarrassed. "No, Grace, I'm home."
"You went home? Why do you still want me to save you?" Grace was puzzled. She had a feeling that
she had been fooled.
Lilian seemed a little embarrassed. "Grace, I'm sorry."
"Miss Ross, the photo was actually taken by me. I didn't plan to avoid responsibility. Just go home and
rest." Grace hung up the phone.
Grace held her phone in her hands and sighed.
When there were benefits to be reaped, people liked to claim credit, but when problems arose,
everyone avoids bearing any responsibility.
Albeit knowing that this was human nature, Grace still couldn't help but feel sour.
The next day, when Grace arrived at the office, she saw a Land Rover parked outside
The car window slid down, revealing Heinz's handsome face. When Grace took a good look at him, his
deep gaze instantly locked on her. Grace could not help but clench on to her bag tightly.
Grace looked down quickly, pretending not to see the car. She subconsciously wanted to enter the
newspaper office as soon as possible,
But when Grace was about to enter the glass door, a man blocked her way.
Grace looked up and realized that it was the company director, Chen.
Grace was startled
Chen said, "Grace, Mr. Jones is waiting for you. You can go with him now."
Grace looked at Chen in surprise. "Director Chen, why should I go with Mr. Jones?"
Chen said, "You have to ask Mr. Jones why. He is behind you."
Turning around without thinking, Grace saw Heinz standing by the Land Rover. His tall figure was so
oppressive even from a far distance.
Grace pursed her lips.
The man had already started walking towards her. In a flash, Heinz reached her and said aggressively,
"Miss Grace Smith, please come with me"
Grace sensed trouble now. She pretended to be calm and looked at Heinz's handsome face, asking.
"Mr. Jones, why should I go with you?"
"They said it was you who took the pictures of Cindy and me," Heinz said lightly.
Grace pursed her lips and said, "Even if the photos were taken by me, they had to be approved by our
management to have appeared on the headlines.
"Haha." Heinz sneered and said, "Grace, if I were you, I would leave immediately. You seem to have
offended not only myself but also your director. Please come with me now to spare yourself from further This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
misery.
"Heinz!" Her temper flared up. She really couldn't stand this man's arrogance. "You don't have to
ridicule me. You are not a good person either."
"Bang-"
Chen slapped Grace on the face, and the sound
Of it resonated loudly in the air...
Grace covered her face in shock.
Chen's face was full of anger. "Who are you to speak to Mr. Jones in the manner? Grace, are you
courting death?"
