Chapter 775
Candace looked sharply at Heinz and said, "Mr. Jones, you are overly confident. Are you not aware of
the storm you have stirred up? And you have the nerves to bring the children into this. You should have
known that this wasing from the second you began to lie to Grace. You''re not suitable for her. I
don''t agree with you two being together."
"Aunt Candace, it was Grace who chose to be with Heinz," Zachary defended him. "I don''t quite
understand where you are going with this now."
"Zachary, you have no ce barging in on this conversation right now," Candace rebuked him. "You
don''t have to say anything."
He frowned and looked at her, who was clearly crossed by his words. He was somewhat dumbfounded
by this.
"Aunt Candace, you''re right, this is indeed no ce for me to be giving opinions. Have you ever
stopped to think that you too are being opinionated where it''s not needed; in Alice and Graces'' affairs."
He argued, "Also, riddle me this, it is reasonable that you do not approve of Heinz and Graces''
rtionship seeing the mess that he caused, but what about Jensen? He''s a good man and has a
stable rtionship with Alice. Why are you against it too?"
"Because he is a policeman," said Candace. "He either poor or prone to die young."
Jensen almost choked.
He was really impressed by the tone and guts of this woman before his eyes.
He was poor, but he wasn''t that obnoxious, was he?
Heinz then stood up and said.
"Madam Lowe, if that is all, we''ll take our leave."
"Stop!" Candace yelled furiously in an instant. "You haven''t agreed to my terms yet!"
"I won''t agree to leave Grace," he answered bluntly. "Madam Lowe, have you ever stopped to consider
how Grace would feel about you approaching me about this?"
"She''s really in no position to be dwelling in her feelings now that her life is aplete mess. Ever
since she''s been with you, she has be aughingstock. Everyone around her has been calling her
a mistress. Mr. Jones, who do you think you are to be questioning me like this? Have you ever thought
about how Grace must be feeling since you deceived her?" Candace criticized him outwardly. "Since
you couldn''t care less about other people''s feelings, it is only right that your feelings are not taken into
consideration in return."

After a momentary pause, Heinz''s expression became stern.
Every single word that came out of her mouth pierced his heart like the tip of a dagger, causing it to
bleed uncontrobly.
He knew for himself how sorry he felt for what he put Grace through.
"Sit down. I''m not done yet," Candace ordered him in a low voice.
Despite how he felt about her approach, Heinz obliged her instructions andplied. It was most likely
guilt that motivated this behavior.
He looked at Candace and tried to calm himself down. "Madam Lowe, everything you''ve said is the
absolute truth and I admit to it. I did not care for Grace as I should have and now that all the awful
incidents have passed, I will do right by Grace and make up to her for our troubled past in theing
future," Heinz exined himself almost as if making a promise to Candace.
"Whatever that has happened by far is merely just the beginning. There is definitely more toe, and
for that very reason, you are not a suitable partner for her," she rebutted once again.
"If you feel so strongly about that, then enlighten me, Madam Lowe, who is a suitable candidate to be
Grace''s partner in your opinion?" Questioned Heinz.
"Anyone is practically better than you," she answered baselessly.
"Even I, a policeman, am not to your liking. I''m starting to think that there is absolutely no one who will
be to your liking," chuckled Jensen.
"You''re wrong. It''s only the both of you who are not to my liking," retorted Candace.
"I''m sorry, but Heinz and I happened to be of Grace''s and Alice''s liking. I apologize, but we cannot
Candace frowned and mocked impatiently, "You really are a little policeman who has never seen the
world."
Her words really got to Jensen. Despite feeling extremely indignant by her words, he was equally
amused at the same time.
"That''s true. I am indeed just a little policeman who has never seen the world and not as experienced
as you are. I definitely do not have the confidence you have in trying to break apart lovers on purpose,"
he sneered sarcastically.
"You''re getting out of line. You simply will not bring upon happiness to Alice, what more with that bad
temper," retorted Candace.
"Madam Lowe, if it wasn''t for the simple fact that you are Alice''s mother I would not be wasting so
much time with you here," eximed Jensen.
"I did note looking for you either. It''s him I came looking for," dered Candace.
She pointed at Heinz.
Heinz did not expect Candace to be this way.
She had abandoned Grace and Alice before they even became adults. She did not show even an
ounce of guilt for all the years of not being in their lives. Instead, she asserted herself as their mother
and tried to decide their future.
People like her seem to be naturally confident by birth, but he really couldn''t tell how she mustered up
the nerves to portray such confidence in the position that she was in.
Heinz stared at Candace intently; his gaze filled with resentment as time passed in dead silence.
He did not speak again after that realizing that he didn''t want to waste his breath. He just looked at the
woman before his eyes indifferently.
"I think it is you who brought upon trouble to Alice. Her misfortune was mainly caused by your behavior,
wasn''t it?" Jensen hissed at her.
Jensen shrugged. He, too, was provoked by her beyond control. It seemed that both his and Alice''s
mothers were the same, overly confident.
"Where were you when Alice needed you the most? Do you know how Alice and Grace got by all these
years?"
Upon hearing this, Candace squinted as her face reflected a sense of horror.
"Is there a mother like you in this world? You never do anything for your children, yet youe here to
interfere with their marriage and freedom," Jensen continued to rebuke her actions.
"I think the most shameless person in the world is a person like you. You are overly confident for no
reason."
"Heinz, I don''t think it''s necessary for us to meet an irrelevant person like her, what more to let her
decide our future," said Jensen to Heinz as he got up on his feet.
"You''re right. It''s our life and we have our own freedom to get married to anyone we want. We don''t
need anyone to interfere with our choice of a partner. The choices are on us. I''ve been meaning to
leave, and I think now is the time for it." Heinz nodded and stood up as well.
