Female Novel
Chapter 1818
Grace received a phone call from her sister, Alice, early in the morning. Alice sounded a little anxious over the phone as she immediately askedGrace, "Grace, have you seen the news today?”
"What news?" Grace asked while she was still in a daze.
She was pregnant, and a little tired. As she was also an older pregnant woman, she was naturally more fatigue than others.She was supposed te still be asleep at that hour.
Since Alice called her so early in the morning, it meant that there had to be something urgent.
"Haven't you seen the news?" Alice had always thought of Grace as a person who had gone through a lot and would never be beat down, so shewould generally not be affected by such a news.
So, she did not think too much when she made the phone call.However, Jensen, who was behind her, whispered, “Alice, how dare you call your sister so rashly? Have you forgotten that she is an older pregnantlady?”
Alice was shocked, she looked at her husband and said in a low voice, "It's okay. My sister isn't so fragile. She has gone through a lot. How could shenot stand such a little thing?”
Jensen was feeling very helpless. "She is not young anymore."
"Are you saying that you are ald too?" Alice glanced at her husband and knew that Jensen was worried about many things. Over the years, he hadbecome a leader, and was responsible for many things on his own. There were lots of aspects of worry and consideration he had put in place.
However, Alice still thought that her sister and herself were both people who had experienced many things, so they would not be so easily defeatedby something minor.
She was not being reckless, nor was she being rash. She just did not think that it was anything significant.
She only hoped to face the matter.
Jenson was stunned, and he did not know how to respond to his wife's words. He could only look at her helplessly and sigh."Then, do as you please." "Of course I will." Alice did not stand on ceremony and she was very confident.
Throughout those years, she had practiced and gained a lot of self-confidence in the business field
She had gotten a lot more confident then than before.
It was still early in the morning. Upon being asked on whether she had read the news or not, as well as hearing what sounded like Alice and Jensen'ssquabbles through the phone, Grace asked in wonder, "Can you two stop arguing? I am still sleepy. Just tell me what it is. What's there to be soshocked about?”
"Grace, I knew you would respond this way. You wouldn't think much of this either.” Alice stared at her husband with arrogance in her gaze
Jensen felt even more helpless. He could only look at her dotingly and smile.
Over the years, he had gotten more and more outstanding and calm at work.
However, whenever he was facing his wife, he would always love her and spoil her. He would never overly control or lecture her.
Of course, Alice knew that she should not go too far either.novelbin
They knew how to respect each other, and they lived a very happy life.
“Hurry up and tell me, what news is it?" Grace was still waiting for a reply, but Alice had stopped talking. "I want to go back to sleep after you tell me."
"I don't know who's so evil-hearted, but someone said a lot of bad things about you and Celeste. It was even said that it's our relative," Alice finallytold Grace.
"Someone said something about Celeste and I?" Grace sniggered, "What a joke, why Celeste and I? What's there to expose between Celeste and I?"
"Anyway, it doesn't sound good at all," Alice tried to prepare her for it. "It would be best for you to stay calm when you read it. Even though I know thatyou have gone through a lot and won't be shocked by such a small incident, it is not a virtue story. Sometimes, these horrible news will still affect yourmood.”
"Is that so? Then I won't look at it now.” Grace was not anxious at all. "I will take a look at it when I wake up, I am still feeling very sleepy.”
"Grace, there's Celeste too. This time, both you and Celeste were attacked." Alice was amused by Grace's indifference. "You should think it throughYou may have gone through a lot, but Celeste hasn't. She is still a child.”
Only then did Grace snap to her senses and blinked. "Celeste? Then I should read it." "Okay, then let's discuss about it after you have read it. Let'ssee which troublemaker is the one who published the news. They said that a relative of yours was the one who provided the scandalous information.It said that you two are both heartless monsters, and that the two of you are both equally ruthless even when it comes to your own family members.”
Grace took a deep breath. Just as Alice thought that Grace's mood was affected, Grace asked, "Are they praising us?”"Grace, I'm totally all right with it if you want to think that way," Alice laughed while she said
"Then everything's fine." Grace said, "I will hang up first. Let's continue talking about it after I read it."
She ended the call and looked around, but Heinz was nowhere to be found.
She patted the quilt next to her. It was not warm, which meant that he must have gotten up for some time already.Only then did Grace slowly pick up her phone
When she clicked open the news article and read the title, Grace was stunned. She knew what had happened.
Her sister waSsometimes a fieryand rash person, Grace had longknew about! it. However, the matterabout the-news that day seemed tobea rather big problem, otherwiseAlice would not have told heraboutitaksuch early hour. Contentbelongs to NovelDrama.Org ©
She continued to read, bu she was not sure who exposed her and Celeste.
In summary, the content was saying that Grace and Celeste were the same, and that they were two ungrateful and unrighteous women, who could becruel even to their family members.
It said that in the past, Grace used a lot of schemes to destroy her own sister, Marry, so much so that she even disfigured her exboyfriend. He wascrippled too, which affected his lifetime happiness.
As for Celeste, she was just as powerful. She treated her foster mother, Cindy, badly. She was cruel to her, and even ruined her appearance. Also,her means were even worse than Grace's.
The news then concluded that when compared, Grace and Celeste were both tough and sinister characters, and that the Jones family was surelygoing to have a lively future.
As there were two strong figures in their family, it would surely cause chaos, and everyone in Northern City could watch them fight.
Grace looked at the news and sneered. She thought the news was amusing. Those people were even able to write something about her and Celeste.It was obvious that they were trying to discredit her and Celeste.
The problem was that Celeste and herself did not belong to the entertainment circle. She did not understand the purpose of the news to write abouther and Celeste, and to discredit them
When she saw the word 'relative’, she could not help but to frown
Her own relative had provided the information so clearly, as if this person was an insider.
Who could this relative of hers be?
Grace thought carefully for a long time, and Marry’s face suddenly appeared in her mind.
Marry and Simon were probably the only people who could explain everything about Simon and her so clearly.Could it be that the two of them have joined hands? Or, did only one of them participate in it?
Grace was not sure. She only knew that she needed to investigate the matter.
It was fine for them to write about her, however, if they wrote about Celeste, it meant that they were talking bad things about the next generation ofthe Jones family. She would not let that slide so easily.
Grace held her cell phone as she wondered how she was going to deal with them.
When Heinz entered the room, he saw Grace holding her phone in a daze. He did not know what was on her mind, and his heart skipped a beat. Hehad a hunch that Grace had read the news.
"You're awake." Heinz came in and closed the door. When he reached Grace's side, he sat down and looked at her with worry in his eyes.The moment Grace saw him, she knew that he was worried about her.
She could not help but to smile. and spoke immediately, "You know about the news too, don't you?"
Heinz was stunned. It seemed that Grace really knew about it already, so he nodded. "Do you know about it too?"
"I just read it," Grace said, “Where is Celeste? Does she know about it?”
Heinz nodded and said, "She knows. She is worried that you will be angry after reading the news, and she is also worried that it will affect your baby,so she asked me to come check on you.”
"Pfftl Grace laughed instead. "That'sgreat, sheis indeed Gary's girlfriend.She is not afraid or worried. Whenthis sort of thing happens, the‘firstthing's she actually thought of wassomeone else. Celeste is akind girl."Céntent belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"Do you know who did it?” Grace did not want to waste their time. She asked directly, "Is it Simon or Marry?"
"Marry has been well- behaved since she was released from prison. Alice also gave her the shares she was supposed to have, and she supportedher. Simon hasn't met her ever since he got out of prison."
"Have they never met?” Grace was a little surprised and looked at Heinz. "Does that mean this has nothing to do with them?"
Heinz shook his head. "I am still looking into this matter."
