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 nced 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-inw 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 me 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 d to see you again." Marry said.


    "This is Mr. Jones'' office, not a ce 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 ovee with emotion that I started bbering about the past. Many


    apologies."


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


    As they sat down, Heinz Jones nced 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 eyshes 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 thepany 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


    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 ourpany is currently in."


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


    to grow thepany. In fact, it seems like a lot of our sess 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 sessful 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 ns 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


    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 ourpany. I hope that you could


    reconsider it. I know ourpany 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 sessful deal only happens when the profits are eptable to us." Heinz Jones said


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