After hearing what Heinz had to say, Cindy's slightly proud and conspicuous expression suddenly froze. Her expression went out of control and her face turned pale. It was extremely embarrassing for her.
Heinz uttered sarcastically in a condescending tone, "Why are you so old? Have you finally decided to take roles for the elderly?"
Cindy's expression grew nastier. She widened her eyes and was exasperated. She did not know why, but whenever she was facing Heinz, she seemed so weak and timid.
Grace tried her best to hold back her laughter. She pursed her lips and tried to stop herself from laughing out loud. Her stomach was aching a little from trying to hold herself back.
Cindy had brought it on herself. Seeing that she came waltzing in such a delighted manner, she must have bought the house next to theirs. That was why she came up to chat in such a haughty manner. However, Cindy probably didn't expect Heinz to berate her in such a manner.
A woman, especially a celebrity in the entertainment industry, cared most about their appearance.
She tried her best to maintain her composure, but it seemed that she was vulnerable when being insulted so sharply.
Grace really felt a little sympathy for Cindy.
Nothing had changed after ten years.
Back then, she had wrapped herself around Heinz and tried to take advantage of him. Eventually, Heinz had reprimanded her sharply and was disgusted, vowing never to associate himself with her again.
This time, she took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him again, only to be berated by Heinz once more.
Sigh.
Heinz's sharp tongue was indeed effective.
Cindy had overestimated herself.
Fortunately, Cindy had adapted to their unkind words and managed to calm down, "Mr. Jones, you're really humorous."
"No," Heinz commented faintly, "I'm just telling the truth."
Cindy's face froze again and her mind went blank.
She suddenly turned towards Grace and shot a glance at her. In an instant, her heart was filled with jealousy. Grace was gorgeous. It was as though time did not leave a mark on her.
Women who had someone to love them were really different. Despite not wearing makeup, her bare face was pretty and simple.
Cindy immediately found something that she could change the topic to as she stared at Grace and said, "I believe you are Mrs. Jones."
Grace cursed silently and knew that things would probably take a turn for the ugly.
Heinz chimed in, "Yes, this is my wife, Grace Smith. She's the only woman in the world who is worthy of me, Heinz Jones."
What on earth was wrong with him?
Grace was so close to bursting in laughter.
Heinz did not forget to bring himself up while flattering her. It was as if they were the only couple in this entire world.
"Really?" Cindy smirked and continued, "Nice to meet you, Miss Smith."
"We've met before," Grace also had a smile as she answered politely, "We met a decade ago, Miss White."
It was not a reminder but a threat.
Anyone who was sharp would be able to understand what she meant.
Cindy's face turned pale.
Heinz instantly furrowed his brows. He looked very displeased and cast a questioning gaze at Grace.
Grace was amused. She looked back at Heinz, assuring him.
Cindy was a talented actress. She soon regained her composure and quickly chuckled, "Yes, I remember. Miss Smith, you were a reporter back then. It was you who took the picture of me and Heinz."
"Yes," Grace was still very polite, "Speaking of which, I am grateful to you for allowing me to bump into Heinz again. If it wasn't for you, I would have never met him."
"Is that so?" Cindy frowned, "Miss Smith, you've really caused me a lot of trouble. I've been ridiculed by the whole nation because of that photo."
Her tone was full of resentment.
