True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 72

The sound of footsteps were heard ascending before it stopped. After a brief pause, the door was

kicked wide open.

Screams were heard few moments later.

"Ahh!"

Grace Smith could recognize Lilian Ross's voice.

She was shocked. "This doesn't sound right, they're not hurting Lilian Ross, are they? They are here

with the purpose of condemning and denouncing her of her guilty ways. At this moment they must be

infuriated." Grace Smith said.

"Lorenzo Chen's wife is not someone to be taken lightly." Heinz Jones spoke without emotion.

"Sleeping with another woman's husband has its consequences. Lilian Ross had the brazenness to do

it, so she should have the same gall to face up to it." Heinz Jones continued.

Grace Smith agreed with his words.

She could not defend her actions. One can't escape the fact through impartial evaluation, Lorenzo

Chen's wife deserved justice.

After all, she was the victim in this situation.

Grace Smith thought however, why did she have to hand the letter to her?

How pleasant it would have been if she wasn't part of this mess?

Grace Smith felt a little regretful at this moment. When Lilian Ross suggested it, was she out of her

mind?

Now, how does one deal with the fallout from this situation?

Lorenzo Chen was the problem, repulsive and obnoxious, he was just overall a terrible person.

"Now I discover that it's you, you wh*re. I thought you were some high-end prostitute, but it turns out

that you have passed your prime already." A piercing female voice came from below, followed by the

sound of slapping.

Her voice was cold and savage. "You dare bang with my husband. You are really asking for trouble.

Thrash her, strike her without mercy." She said.

"Please, it was not my fault, I was set up." Lilian Ross screamed in pain. "He lied to me, I was tricked

from the beginning." Lilian Ross explained.

"Lie to you? You won't admit to seducing him, you have a lot of nerve to sleep with him and now you

refuse to own up to your actions, such a coward!" She sneered disdainfully, "You dare to lure my

husband. Who do you think you are messing with? Come now, give her a good beating!" She roared.

"Yes, Madam." A person said.

"Yes, My lady." Another person said.

Grace Smith heard male voices, looks like there were a few of them there.

"He did deceive me." Lilian Ross said, she was afraid of the beating she was about to endure, she

began crying and wailing, "You can't ignore the truth." "Right, I will deal with Lorenzo Chen when we

get home. Now its time for you to be punished. Do you still deny your guilt? If you didn't seduce him,

will he still throw himself at you?" Mrs. Chen's voice was filled with anger and bitterness.

Hearing this, Grace Smith and the others around her could not help agreeing with Mrs. Chen's words.

She was worthless and had no integrity whatsoever.

Undeniable was the fact that Lilian Ross needed to face the consequences of her actions.

One could also comprehend Mrs. Chen's desire to hit her.

"You tramp. Seducing husbands of other women.You deserve to be beaten." A person said.

"Slap, slap-"

"Slap, slap-"

She endured several blows on her face.

Eavesdropping on this, Grace Smith became anxious. Lilian Ross would be violently beaten till

severely injured if this situation escalated.

She frowned, and began to move.

Heinz Jones grabbed her. "Where do you think you're going?" Heinz Jones asked.

"Lilian Ross is being beaten up, I can't just let her suffer like this. Although she did take advantage of

me, I was compliant to it. Since I was complicit, I have to follow through with my promises. I can't let

her endure this kind of torture." Grace Smith explained.

"Can you prevent this situation from escalating?" Heinz Jones asked.

"Even if I can't, I have to give it a try." Grace Smith answered, she glanced at him and then at Jensen

Charm with shrewdness. "Anyway, even if I am unsuccessful, I have Officer Charm, yourself, and this

other policeman with me. As men of honor, badge bearers such as yourself, especially you, Mr. Jones,

upstanding with a strong sense of social justice, how could you let her die of such torture?" Grace

Smith asked.

Heinz Jones froze in his tracks. Her piercing words affected him deeply. She was presenting to him a

moral dilemma.

This was apparent to Jensen Charm and his accompanying officer as well. If they decided not to get

involved, it would mean they lack moral fiber and integrity.

Heinz Jones quietly looked at Jensen Charm, and as their eyes met they had an instant understanding.

Jensen Charm smiled, blinking apologetically. "Delicate matters such as these should be settled

privately, most of the police force would agree with this." Jensen Charm said.

Grace Smith was speechless. Wasn't Jensen Charm an armed officer? Shouldn't he feel obliged to get

involved?

Heinz Jones had a steely glint in his eyes, "If we weren't here, would you dare to rush in to confront

them?" Heinz Jones asked.

Grace Smith was confounded, as she look towards his contemptuous penetrating gaze.

Her eyes started to water slightly,as she felt a prickling sensation in her heart.

Was that his opinion of her?

He thought that she was just using him.

Grace Smith pursed her lips as despair enveloped her.

Recovering from this realization, Grace Smith responded, "Regarding today, I have never thought of

taking advantage of you. Mr. Jones, you don't have to go down. Since I have promised to help Lilian

Ross, I won't ignore her plight of being beaten up. It's alright, you can stay out of it."

Although Grace could sympathize with Mrs. Chen that Lilian Ross had crossed the line, it didn't mean

that Lilian Ross should be beaten up till half dead.

No, it was not right. If this got out of hand, someone might lose their life.

She opened the door of the roof with a decisive push, and proceeded downstairs. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"Hey!" Heinz Jones yelled, he reached out to grab her but failed.

Jensen Charm was taken aback. "Are you sure of some of your allegations? Grace Smith seemed

close to tears. She seemed like someone innocent who is upset by the accusations against her."

Jensen Charm commented.

"It doesn't matter." Heinz Jones retorted.

"Maybe she doesn't want to take advantage of you." Jensen Charm scrutinized him. "Anyway, there's

nothing of advantage to be taken from you. Apart from your good looks, you are becoming decrepit

through the years." Jensen Charm added.

"Shut up." Heinz Jones said.

Seeing Heinz Jones seething, Jensen Charm burst into laughter. "Hey, it doesn't matter right? She

really does have the guts to get involved." Jensen Charm said.

Heinz Jones frowned and gritted his teeth. "Since she wants to meddle, let her suffer. Maybe it's for the

best that she gets beaten up too." Heinz Jones said.

Jensen Charm was astonished, as he retorted, "You should be clear that the people below are just

normal civilians. Listening to the noise, they are just perhaps some street thugs and gossipy middle

age wives. If a strange woman suddenly appeared and tried to intervene, it is likely that she will be

seen as a co- conspirator of the mistress. The situation might escalate into a brawl."

Heinz Jones felt a nervous tension, his eyes darkening murderously. If anyone dared to hurt Grace

Smith, he would tear them into pieces.

At the same time, her recklessness was an issue. She needed to encounter some negative

experiences in order to recondition her from this character trait.

Grace was so impudent and rebellious, she needed some serious adversity and suffering to tame her.

However, Heinz felt the swirl of his emotions in conflict, entangled and confused.

He had never experienced this kind of emotional turmoil before. He felt his anger and frustration in

impassioned waves, breaking over him, churning and frothing.

"Alright." Jensen Charm smirked. "You don't care anyhow, so i'll just leave with my men and we can go

home without getting involved. You can man the guard. We are tired and hungry, its dinner time too."

Jensen Charm said.

"Stop. You can't just leave." Heinz Jones spoke in a commanding tone. "The mission is not complete,

how can you leave?" Heinz Jones asked.

Jensen Charm burst into laughter over his words. "You are so anxious that you might pee your pants.

You still won't come to terms with your feelings, you are so full of yourself that it's ridiculous." Jensen

Charm commented.
