Female Novel
Chapter 1321
A large pair of hands had wrapped themselves around Grace's waist, followed by Heinz's deepvoice.
"Honey, what's wrong with you? Why did you chase after Cindy? Is she worthy of you doing that?"
Heinz's tone was full of protest and complaint. He feared that she would be tricked by Cindy.
Grace found it funny seeing how he looked so nervous.
After so many years, Heinz was still so in love with her.
He had always been anxious about her, bringing her along with him wherever he went.
Even if Grace had to stay home to look after the children, Heinz would video call her several times aday if they were separated.
It was because of these small details that their relationship had yet to face any bumps along theway.
Grace was very well aware of all these.
Moreover, she was about to turn forty. She had no time for doubts.
She was sure of many things, and she had the ability to discern the truth.
She was not like how she acted when she was in her twenties, where she could just be indifferentand do whatever she wished.
"Say something, honey."
Seeing that Grace was silent, Heinz was anxious, "Did Cindy do something to you? What did shesay to you? Listen to me, don't believe whatever she says. This woman is malicious."
"Silly," Grace shook her head and chuckled, "It's been years. Do you still think that I'll be provokedby just a few words?"
"That's good to hear," Heinz looked at his wife with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, "Are you reallyfine?"
"Of course," Grace replied firmly, "I just went to remind her that she has to deal with that email. If itis really leaked, then it might crush her."
"It's fine if it's leaked. What does it have to do with us? After all, we're not the ones who did it.Besides, she's the one who blundered. You don't have to remind her."
Grace shook her head in disagreement and said, "She's still Celeste's aunt. She's adopted Celesteand raised her for so many years, so whatever happens to her will definitely affect Celeste."
Heinz frowned and instantly understood what his wife meant. He sighed, "But don't you think thatpeople like Cindy should reap what they sow?"
"She's someone who once adored you, so are you willing to see her life's achievements crumble infront of you?" Grace looked at him, her eyes sparkling.
"Yes, I just want to see her crumble. Everyone loves to see women like her get what they deserve,"Heinz was ruthlessly straightforward, "It's all because of you that I feel bad. Didn't you just say thatyou wouldn't be affected by her words?"
"I'm not affected," Grace replied with a smile, "It wouldn't matter if she is not related to Celeste. I'mjust worried that the media will catch wind of how Celeste used to be adopted by Cindy. I'm afraid
that Celeste might be affected by this and netizens might make a huge fuss over the guardianshipissue."
"Why are you so worried about Celeste?" Heinz protested, "I am a little envious. Do you know why?You have never been so concerned about me."
"Look at yourself! You are envious of a little girl," Grace laughed, "Do me a favor. Go and find outwho is messing with Cindy." "Don't ask for too much," Heinz warned her.
Grace couldn't help but laugh again. She helped him sort out his collar and looked at him.
"What if Celeste actually becomes our daughter-in-law? Won't she be related to us then?"novelbin
"That's not necessarily true," Heinz shook his head, "Gary and Ernest haven't made up their mindsyet. Perhaps they might have a change in taste."
"Okay," Grace felt helpless and added, "Even if she's not our daughter-in-law, she is still our son'sclassmate. Wouldn't the news affect her future? I'm not doing this for Cindy's sake, but for Celesteand her future."
"That's also part of her destiny. It's not necessarily a bad thing," Heinz uttered.
"Are you going to do it or not?" Grace's tone grew more solemn.
Heinz immediately pursed his lips and looked at his wife. He protested silently, but was soonhelpless after a while. He sighed, "Yes, I'll go check it out now."
"That's more like it."
Grace was amused by his exasperated look. She looked up at him with a smile in her eyes.
The two of them exchanged glances. Some time later, they burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, Cindy, who was in the courtyard next
door, saw this scene through the fence.
She had calmed down, and self- mockery had tainted her gaze.
It was true. Heinz and Grace were a perfect match. No one would be able to get between them.
They were so eye-catching. It made her feel so envious.
Cindy looked at them for a while, tears slowly brimming in her eyes.
"Cindy," Katherine reminded her as she also cast her glances at Heinz's house.
With that, Cindy turned around and didn't look back.
Soon, they arrived back in the villa.
Cindy shut herself in the room. She picked up the phone and called the director with whom she hada one-night stand with.
"Hello, Mr. Holland, please come to London. I'm in big trouble."
"What's the matter?" The tone from the other end sounded very impatient, "I'm busy. I don't havetime for you."
"The two of us were photographed," Cindy said.
"When?" Mr. Holland was also taken aback. He couldn't help but raise his voice and asked, "Who
took it?"
Cindy pursed her lips and admitted, "I did!"
"Cindy White," Mr. Holland was so mad that he took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth,"What do you want?"
"I took the photos because of the role in the film, but I didn't expect that someone would actually gettheir hands on them. Now they are blackmailing me, and I fear that it will affect you."
"D*mn it," Mr. Holland cursed angrily, "Are you trying to get me in trouble?"
"I didn't do it on purpose. You have to help me no matter what. I'm really in trouble this time," Cindypleaded.
"Ask your agent Monica to handle it," Mr. Holland refused, "She is the only one who is capable ofdoing so."
Cindy pursed her lips and was reluctant to tell Monica about this.
"Why don't you come to London and bring along an expert," Cindy requested, "We have to knowwho it is first. Only then can we deal with this."
"I don't have the time," Mr. Holland scoffed, "Even if it's really leaked, you are the one who suffersthe blow. If your public relations team can't handle this, I don't care if it's really exposed."
"How could you say this?" Cindy felt that her only glimpse of hope was disappearing.
"In fact, I want to f*cking kill you," Mr. Holland shot back, "If you don't tell Monica, I'll tell her."
