Female Novel
Chapter 1819
Grace was not too interested in the news. Her only worry was that Celeste was too young and would be unable to bear such criticisms.Before Heinz and Grace went downstairs, Alice called once more.
"Grace, have you read the news?"
"I just did," Grace said. "Has Marry contacted you recently?”
"Grace, so you are suspecting Marry too, aren't you? I thought of Marry and Simeon earlier as well. It just feels like they are doing something behind usregarding this matter." Alice thought about Marry and Simon as well as soon as Grace mentioned them.
"We don't have too many relatives. This so-called relative should not be just a gimmick.” Grace analyzed, "So, the first ones I thought of were them."
"I thought of the two of them as well after I put down my phone just now." Alice spoke to Grace on the phone, "I send Marry enough money to useevery month, and she wouldn't ever contact after she got the money. Even if I am late for one day, or if I forgot to get the finance personnel to transferthe money for me, she would call me immediately.”
"Is she really short of money?” Grace asked with a frown.
"Grace, I don't know how ta answer your question. You have been married to a wealthy family and have been the wife of a president for too long. Youare living in another world. Who is not short of money? Marry has hundreds of thousands to spend every month just as her allowance. Her shares inthe company is enough for her to live lavishly for a long. long time. After she was released from prison, she was satisfied with the amount of moneythat I gave her, and she didn't trouble me. However, don't you think itis weird? Even after she was released from prison, she had kept quiet even withher obviously stubborn personality."
"That's right, do you think she was just hiding and waiting for a chance to strike?” Grace knew her sister well. So many years have passed where theyonly had each other to depend on, and they were naturally worried about each other, so they were very direct when they spoke with each other too.
"Well, with my understanding of Marry, I am sure she didn't learn anything from her time in prison.She is surely still as stubborn as before.”When Grace heard Alice's words, she frowned. "What about Simon? Has he ever contacted you?”
"Simeon didn't contact me. However, a few days ago, we bumped into each other. I saw him talking to a cleaner at the entrance of a mall, and hisdemeanor was prideful. He was really arrogant. He didn't show a good attitude at all. Anyway, I don't have a good impression of Simon and Marry.Moreover, they didn’t change to be humble and low- key after their prison life. Instead, they seemed to have gotten even sharper.”
Simon and Marry did not contact Grace after they were released from prison. Grace only knew that they were already released from prison for a fewyears after Heinz told her.
Besides, Alice had always been the one to take care of Marry. so Grace did not ask too many questions.
They had always been living their own lives. Besides, they have paid the price for the harms they have incurred back then. As long as they stoppedGrace would naturally not bring them trouble.
When the news came out then, she thought of them. However, she had no evidence.
"I asked Jensen to investigate her. Don't worry, Jensen will definitely get some information scon, and then, we can be on guard." Alice comforted her."I know you should be fine, but I am worried about Celeste. She is still young. I don't know if she can withstand this slander.”
"I know. Get Jensen to investigate first. I will go downstairs to check on Celeste first." After hanging up the phone, she got up to wash up before shewent downstairs with Heinz.
Celeste and Gary were already downstairs. They saw Grace coming downstairs, and Gary looked at his mother. He was only relieved when he sawhow calm and expressionless Grace was.
He knew that his mother was a brave woman who could deal with anything, and she would not be troubled by such ordinary mattersGary was relieved and looked towards Celeste.
Celeste let out a sigh of relief too, knowing that she was overly worried
"Celeste, are you all right?” The first thing Grace did when she came downstairs was to check on Celeste's well-being.
Celeste immediately went forward and grabbed Grace's arm. She helped her to the sofa to sit down. "I'm fine, Aunt Grace. I'm worried about youDon't be affected by these news, and don’t worry about me. I know that someone is trying to hurt us with malicious intentions. Gary also went andinvestigated. These were deliberately done by some reporters. He didn’t intercept the news because he wanted to find the mastermind behind thescene first."
When Grace and Heinz heard that, they were both stunned. They turned towards Gary.novelbin
Heinz asked, "So, did you know that the reporters were going to report the news?”
Gary chuckled and said, “Of course. if I didn't know about even such a small matter, could I still be considered a man?"Heinz felt that his son’s words were with hidden meanings, and was mocking him, as if saying that he was incompetent.He looked at Gary and smirked, "Since you know so much, does that mean you already know who the mastermind is?”
"Let's wait for a little while longer for the updates,” Gary said. "We will wait until the second round of news is published. I think that then would beenough. I've just called my uncle- in- law. We'll cooperate with each other. When the time comes, all we have to do is to capture them."
When Heinz heard his son's words, he was also stunned and he smiled. "Okay, boy, it seems like you are an expert and you're quite efficient.” "Ofcourse, when it comes to the two women I love the most, I of course have to check it thoroughly. I won't let anyone who hurts my mother and Celestego," Gary said firmly.
Grace laughed as well, "It looks like you have grown up, Gary. You have become much stronger than your father. You have grown to be resolute andvigorous.”
Heinz's lips twitched. "Go on, keep praising him. I too hope that he can find the culprit sooner too. Why don't we have a competition and see who isfaster at it?"
"Have you investigated the matter as well?" Gary asked in reply.Heinz chuckled and said mysteriously, "I'll let you guess!"
Gary pursed his lips and looked at Celeste and his mother. "Mom, you and Celeste shouldn't take it to heart. This is the best way to solve it. I am justworried that the two of you be too bothered by it.”
"Celeste is doing well, so I won't take it to heart,” Grace said, "but it's better to handle this matter properly. Otherwise, their sinister actions will stillhurt Celeste."
“Of course. After we find them, we will make them pay." Gary narrowed his sharp eyes.
He would never let someone who hurt his mother and his woman off so easily. That would be going too easy on those people.He would never do that.
"Them?" Grace caught the word easily.
Heinz smiled and said, “It looks like we have a lead already. Let's eat first. Celeste, you accompany Grace after the meal and go and have some fun.That's all you two have to do.”
With that, breakfast was served.The atmosphere at the dining table in the Jones family was a little quiet.
Sebastian and Sylvia were both a little worried. When they noticed that none of them were worried, they knew that they had a chance to turn thetables.
By the time Ernest called, the Jones family had just finished their breakfast.
"Mom, something happened. I justsaw the news.'You called me lastnight, but didn't pick up your call."*Ernest's tone was apologetic. "I'na~sorry, Hust saw my phone today:Leattwas the one who saw thenews, so she asked me to guic lycheck on you." Content kéfongs toNovelDrama.Org

"I knew they were back the moment I read the news," Ernest said, "Leah and I will come over right now.""Right now?" Grace was quite taken aback.
"Our family needs me now,” Ernest said, "I am bringing Leah home."
"Great. that's great." Grace was very happy.
After the call ended, Ernest looked at Leah. "Are you really sure you want to go home with me?"

"Of course. If we don't go now, then when shall we go?" Leah said, "Let's go. We shouldn't waste any more time.”Leah made him some food, then the two of them quickly headed to the Jones family's house.
By the time they reached, the butler of the Jones family was already waiting by the door. When he saw them getting off their car, he immediatelygreeted them
"Master Ernest, and this must be Miss Winston. Madam said that you are coming back, so she asked me to wait up for you here. Miss Winston,please come in quickly."
Leah held Ernest's hand as they walked in together.
When they entered the lobby, Grace looked into Leah's eyes, and they exchanged looks for a while before Grace widened her eyes. "Ah, it's you, littlegirl."
Leah looked at Gary with embarrassment and nodded shyly. "Hello, Aunt Grace, that's right. I am Leah.”
There was no need for Leah to explain, Grace understood everything at once. Leah was the girl who went to see Ernest off back at the airport. wasn'tshe?
She watched him leave secretly. When she thought of that time, Grace remembered that she seemed to be shy and embarrassed when she saw her.It seemed that she knew that she was Emest's mother at that time. However, Ernest did not know about it, did he?
Grace then looked at Ernest.
Ernest was very surprised and asked, "Mom, do
you know Leah?"
She smiled mysteriously and said, "Yes, I know this little girl, and I also know her secret too. I am sure you don't know about this secret."
“Aunt Grace.” Leah immediately greeted her in a flattering manner. She was a little embarrassed.
Grace smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell him about your secret from last time, when you secretly saw him off."
Leah was dumbfounded. Aunt Smith was such so cheeky.
She obviously exposed her even though she said that she would not tell him
She was too embarrassed to look at Ernest.
Ernest was also confused. He felt that it was very incredible.
He did not expect his mother and his girlfriend to have already met. and that Leah even saw him off at the airport last time. He never even noticed it.When he looked at Leah again, her face was red with embarrassment, and she looked so cute.
He could not help but to look at Leah with his deep eyes. He was very touched by her. She did not tell him but she actually loved him so much, andthat made him feel even more moved and emotional.
