True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 91

Marry Smith was facing Heinz Jones, she was excited and visibly moved, she had the feeling of being

reunited with a loved one, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

"It's true, Mr. Jones, my younger sister had left home for many years. I was not aware of her return, and

did not expect to see her in the President’s office." Marry Smith said. As she spoke, she gently wiped

away her tears with her hand. "I am indebted to you, Mr. Jones." Marry Smith added.

Feeling surprised yet slightly doubtful, Heinz Jones glanced at Grace Smith, she was motionless.

Narrowing his eyes, he said, "Mrs. Brown, you're too polite. What a surprise that Grace Smith is your

sister."

Marry Smith kept her emotions in check and smiled. "Yes, many people do not know that I have a

sister."

"You have only one sister?" Grace Smith asked, she stood up, gazed steadily at Marry Smith while

walking towards her. "There are three sisters in the Smith family, apart from you and me, we have a

younger sister. You haven't forgotten, have you?" Grace Smith continued in an emotionless tone.

Marry was taken aback. A slightly cold expression came over her but she quickly recovered from it.

"No, I did not forget. Is Alice with you?" Marry Smith asked.

Grace Smith looked at Marry sharply. Marry seemed to have absolved her guilty conscience, and

Grace felt her emotions running high.

The more she she thought of the past, the more difficult it became to mask her anger.

Marry Smith gave her a warm gentle smile, which made Grace frown even more.

"Grace, don't you know? Your brother-in-law and I were so upset over your departure. I know you still

resent me, but in the end we are sisters after all. Blood is thicker than water." Marry Smith spoke while

stretching out to hold Grace's hand.

Grace curled her lips in disdain and avoided her hand.

Marry froze. She felt slightly embarrassed but she still maintained a cheerful demeanour. "It's alright,

we haven't seen each other for years, I guess we have grown apart. I know you still blame me, but I

hope you can forgive me, as I felt guilty about the past all this while."

Grace Smith stared at her in indifference, without any reply.

Heinz Jones was confused by this situation. He could tell that Grace Smith and her sister were not on

friendly terms.

"Everything alright?" Marry Smith asked, she attempted to hold her hand again.

Grace Smith still avoided her hand, but Marry grabbed it anyway, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Dear sister, I was so worried for you. I am really glad to see you again." Marry said.

"This is Mr. Jones' office, not a place to reminisce about the past.¹' Grace Smith said, she withdrew her

hand in a cold manner. "I still have work to do, if you don't."

Marry Smith froze.

Grace Smith turned around and said to Heinz Jones, "Mr. Jones, please excuse me for a minute, my

apologies."

This time, without waiting for Heinz Jones' consent, she turned around and walked out.

Heinz Jones was stunned. Looking at her walked away obstinately, he felt a sense of irritation. This

really was a strange coincidence.

Marry Smith looked even more regretful and tearful seeing Grace Smith stomped out. She took a deep

breath, wiped her tears and apologized. "Mr. Jones, I'm really sorry. I was so excited that I forgot that

this is your office, I was so overcome with emotion that I started blabbering about the past. Many

apologies."

"No worries." Heinz Jones replied without emotion. "Please take a seat."

As they sat down, Heinz Jones glanced at Marry.

He was confused. "Mrs. Brown, how long had it been since Grace Smith was away from home?" He

asked.

Marry was startled by his question. As she gazed at him, she could sense his curiosity and anxiety in

regards to Grace Smith. Her eyelashes fluttered and she was slightly perturbed.

After some time, sniffing slightly, Marry Smith replied in a sad tone, "It's a long story. It's probably my

fault. As the eldest I probably could have taken care of them better."

Heinz Jones frowned, gazing at her carefully. She seemed sad and remorseful.

"To tell you the truth," Marry Smith spoke gently, her warm tone hinting all the sufferings she had to

endure. "When I took over Sunny Group, I had no knowledge of business. There were many issues to

be resolved and I had to start from scratch."

It was true that Marry Smith took over the reins of the company in the face of danger.

He had heard of this on a news broadcast before, so he had some inkling of what happened in the

past.

"Mrs. Brown, you had proven yourself to be capable. Now, Sunny Group is flourishing." Heinz Jones

complimented politely.

Marry Smith smiled modestly. "That is not the truth, that is just your impression. Anyway I won't beat

around the bush, surely you have heard of the situation our company is currently in."

"My husband and I had to rely on the support and collaboration from many business partners in order

to grow the company. In fact, it seems like a lot of our success stems from the fact that many people

were pitiful towards us." Marry Smith grimaced. "By the way, Mr. Jones, why is my sister here? Does

she work here?" Marry Smith asked.

Heinz Jones could tell that Marry Smith was shrewd, as she steered the conversation to Grace Smith.

Who was Heinz Jones?

He smiled at her. He was an experienced business person, who encountered people from all walks of

life, so her interrogative questions were not bothering him. "Yes, she works here." Heinz Jones

answered.

Marry Smith said knowingly, "Mr. Jones, do help my sister as much as you can. She has had a hard

life."

Heinz Jones smiled and said lightly, "I thought that you would have requested for Grace to work in

Sunny Group. After all, it is a family business, so of course, it would be more preferable to have her

there."

"Sure it is, President Jones, but Sunny Group isn't as profitable or successful as it seems. We do rely

on you and Jones Estate to stay profitable. Sunny Group is still financially unstable. Once the situation

improves, I will definitely ask my sister to rejoin us as one of our chief executive." Marry Smith said.

Heinz Jones smiled. "Mrs. Brown, you are really wise. Your plans and ideas are prudent and well

thought. You really are considerate of your sister."

Hearing his words, Marry Smith responded, "It doesn't matter if I endure some hardships, I don't want NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

my sister to endure them too."

"Of course." Heinz Jones forced a smile and asked, "Mrs. Brown, what are your intentions here?"

She could sense his slight displeasure.

She hesitated for a moment. "Mr. Jones, this morning, my husband had a discussion with you and

agreed on the percentage in regards to the profit- sharing for our company. I hope that you could

reconsider it. I know our company is not as high profile as Jones Estate is in all aspects, and we are

relying on you for fiscal growth. I hope that you could increase the percentage of our profit share for

this agreement."

Heinz narrowed his eyes and did not respond.

Marry gave it another try. "I will always remember your favour, and I will return your favour when I have

the chance. Mr. Jones, please consider it carefully."

"In business, a successful deal only happens when the profits are acceptable to us." Heinz Jones said

lightly. "Mrs. Brown, didn't your husband tell you why I changed my mind?"
