Lester didn't quite understand what Heinz meant. He froze on the spot for a few moments.
Heinz looked at him and raised his eyebrows. "Why are you still here?"
"President Jones, I don't quite understand what you mean." He really did not understand what he meant.
"What's there to not understand?"
"You already know everything, but you're not going to tell Madam Grace?"
A look of helplessness flashed across Heinz's handsome face. He really admired how Lester could be so dull sometimes.
"So what if I know about this matter?"
"You should let Madam Grace know about how you don't mind her helping Master Jones." Lester said matter-of-factly, "If that's the case, you can then meet him at any time."
"Do you think I'm not meeting him because I'm concerned about Grace's feelings? Or do you think she is the kind of person who would prevent me from meeting him?"
Lester was completely at a loss.
It didn't seem to mean that, but what did he actually want to say?
"Madam Grace isn't such a person." Lester felt that he knew her well, and she was a considerate person, especially when it came to dealing with other people's matters. He said, "If you want to do something, Madam Grace would understand."
"Correct!" Heinz nodded. "Grace won't stop me. Even if I want to meet with him or arrange other things it won't be a problem."
"And?"
"The problem is on the man," Heinz said.
"So what you intend is to not let Master Jones know that you're involved in any of this, in order to prevent him from taking any advantage of you. In that way, Madam Grace would be the one dealing with everything and Master Jones will then be aware and reflect on himself." Lester could finally connect all the dots and gasped. "Oh, I see. This is your plan, to not let Master Jones be arrogant just because he knows you care."
"That sounds terrible. Since when am I so ruthless?" Heinz frowned and said, "Am I really that scheming? As if I knew Grace would do this?"
"You probably expected it, didn't you?" Lester smiled and said, "You chose Madam Grace. If she didn't have a good character, you wouldn't have married her either."
"That's true," Heinz said proudly. "It's just that now that things have come to this, I've realized that Grace's moral standing is extremely valuable."
She was like a beautiful piece of diamond; the more you carved, the more beauty there was.
He himself experienced lots of surprises, knowing that Grace was so good to him.
The fact that she was willing to let go of her grudge and accept his father was very touching and gratifying for him.
Lester nodded and agreed very much with Heinz's opinion. He said in agreement, "It's true. Madam Grace's character is really good."
"Do I need you to tell me that?" Heinz glanced at him.
Lester secretly sighed and thought about how Heinz was really good at making people embarrassed. He smiled and said, "I'll deal with these matters in hand now."
"Go ahead. I'll give you another 100 million dollars," Heinz said.
"Yes."
"Don't let him know that you bought the apartment, understand?"
"What about Madam Grace?"
"Don't tell her yet. I'll talk to her personally in a few days."
"Yes."
After Lester left, Heinz got up and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window. He lit a cigarette and started smoking.
