Chapter 1434 Teasing
Only by perpetually distancing oneself from everything here can it be truly considered an escapefrom all that is now.
Grace's suggestion was met with no objections from Camille, but this matter needed to be dealt withquickly. The current situation with the Armstrong family was no longer possible to keep under wraps,so the next step would be to give the public an explanation.
Therefore, Vere had to be sent away before that, discreetly and quietly.
The time was set for that same evening.
Grace and Camille personally went to the villa to see Vere, and they directly took Vere away fromRegina's residence.
To prevent anyone from tracking them, the two couldn't have come alone and were accompanied byseveral bodyguards.
They took Vere to a hotel under the Simpson Group's management and Grace had a chat with Vere.
During this process, Camille exited the room without disturbing.
In the grand room, there were only Grace and Vere, facing each other, their gaze locked onto eachother without blinking.
Grace was actually a bit flustered by Vere's innocent gaze, unsure of how to begin the conversation.
On the other hand, Vere remained calm and composed, showing no signs of panic or surprise.
Meeting Grace's eyes with his own pure gaze, Vere took the initiative to speak, "Grace, is theresomething you want to tell me?"novelbin
This question caught Grace off guard.
Grace softly replied, "Yes, there are some things I want to discuss with you."
"Is it about my mother?" Vere asked directly.
Grace nodded slightly, not denying it. However, before she could speak, Vere's voice rang out.
"I already know everything about my mother's actions. Grace, I'm truly sorry. I didn't know mymother had ruined Auntie's marriage and family. Apologies cannot make up for what has happened.So, no matter what you and Cami decide to do, I have no complaints."
Grace didn't know how to respond to Vere's honesty and directness.
Vere's confession and understanding left Grace feeling extremely unsettled. She gazed at Vere, hervoice hoarse as she asked, "When did you find out?"
"That day when she left with you, and when you and Cami came back to sort out her clothes, Ialready had a hunch. There were certain things she wouldn't delegate to others, especially in herbedroom. Even I rarely entered it. Something important must have happened for her to instruct youto come over. Plus, when news about the Armstrong family broke online, I made my guess."
Vere was a smart child. Despite Regina's wrongdoings, she loved and cared for her child deeply.
Grace was greatly affected by Vere's words. She looked at Vere and asked, "Have you thoughtabout what to do next?"
"Grace, whatever you want me to do, I'll do it. I understand the reason for our private conversationtoday. Although you may not blame me, you certainly won't treat me as a brother, right?"
Vere's voice was low and his emotions were downcast. His face was filled with despair. Being in hisage group, his sensitive nature was more pronounced, but Grace didn't want to hurt him, so shegently replied, "I don't think like that. They are them, and we are us. It's best for us juniors not to getinvolved in adult matters. When we get involved, it can lead to deep entanglements. Do youunderstand what I mean?"
Vere nodded slightly and said, "I understand. You can rest assured, I know."
Observing Vere, Grace also nodded and then said, "Vere, Cami and I discussed it. We believe it'sbest for you to go abroad. Going abroad now is the most suitable option for your future and thecurrent situation. Develop overseas, don't come back. Although Hance City is our hometown, itholds too many hardships and past events. Those events are not worth commemorating. It's betterto distance yourself, never have any ties or relationships again."
Grace's words were serious, each word emphasizing her determination. She truly didn't want Vereto return. In terms of the relationship between her and Vere, even though she had just said not toinvolve children in adult matters to console Vere, she understood it very well. Not involving alsomeant cutting off contact forever.
Because once there is contact, there is natural involvement, and then memories of the past willinevitably resurface. If one thing leads to another, how can anyone truly forget?
After Grace finished speaking, she took a deep breath, her face showing great seriousness. Shetold Vere, "This ending is the best for both of us. Only this way can we maintain conversations andsituations like this forever."
Vere's face grew even darker. His expression tensed up, and he spoke softly, "Is Grace intending tocut off all contact with me forever?"
Grace replied, "It's not about cutting off contact, it's about maintaining distance and a sense ofdetachment. Only then will we not truly fall out. Do you want to become lifelong enemies with me,Vere?"
Grace smiled slightly, a touch of teasing in her expression. Her mood wasn't very pleasant,considering the courage it took to say such words, especially when facing a teenager. One wrongword could cause significant discomfort.
"I simply mentioned maintaining a distance. If you ever encounter any problems, you can contactme anytime, anywhere, and I will definitely help you. Vere, you are a boy, you need to grow," Gracesaid, expressing her gentle nature. Her words lacked any hostility, making the conversation easierto accept.
This conversation lasted a while. Suddenly, Vere stood up, surprising even Grace, who thought Veremight storm off due to not accepting what was said. But to everyone's surprise, Vere deeply bowedto Grace, earnestly saying, "Grace, I'm sorry."
