Gary hung up the phone and went to look for Heinz, who was drinking tea downstairs. Seeing him come down, Heinz glanced at his son coldly and said, "So you are finally willing to come down? Aren't you going to accompany your girlfriend?"
Hearing Heinz's teasing words, Gary only sneered. He then sat down beside him and asked, "What's wrong? Are you jealous that I am accompanying my girlfriend and not you?"
Heinz looked at Gary and said with a smile, "Me? Jealous of you two? Will I ever have the leisure?"
"You seem to be quite free these days," Gary said.
"Don't talk nonsense. What do you want to tell me? Just say it directly." Heinz naturally noticed that his son was looking for him. That meant there was clearly something important. Besides, it was getting late.
"I heard that you met Liam when you were having a meal with Uncle Zachary and Aunt Yvonne," Gary leaned back on the sofa and looked at Heinz. "It seems like Uncle Zachary wants to help Liam terminate the contract." "You are quite well- informed." Heinz nodded.
"That's right. Your uncle must have felt pity for him. An old woman wanted to hook up with Liam today, and Zachary was very angry. Hence, he probably took action."
"What? An old woman has a crush on Liam? How old is she?" Gary asked in surprise.
"How old?" Heinz thought for a moment. "She should be over 50."
"Oh my God, she is old enough to be a grandmother," Gary said in disgust. "Such an old woman falling in love with Liam is an insult. How dare she still lay her eyes on him?"
"That is probably how the story went." Heinz nodded. "I heard that there are more crazy women out there than men. Once that old woman goes crazy, she can also do something out of line."
"She's looking for people that are too young for her," Gary clicked his tongue and sighed. "These shameless people have damaged the culture and thinking of our society."
"Hence, since we have nothing to do, we decided to help Liam terminate his contract. Take it as a good deed from us," Heinz said.
"Huh, this isn't a good deed. If you really want to do something good, then you should help Liam punish that old woman who wants to take advantage of him. Who knows which young men she would go after in the future?" Gary was not satisfied with this.
"That is easy for you to say." Heinz looked at him. "We can deal with that old woman too, but some people just want to be taken advantage of to advance in their careers. What could we do about that? Besides, what about the other people who are willing to let her take advantage of?"
"That would be wrong of them to do so." Gary frowned and looked at Heinz. "Okay, that's enough joking around. Let's get down to business."
"Weren't we talking about business?" Heinz asked.
Gary looked at Heinz speechlessly and found that this old man was sometimes very childish. He rolled his eyes and said, "Cindy also participated in the oppression of Liam. I think we have been too polite to Cindy."
Heinz shrugged. "Indeed we have. But if we didn't, wouldn't your girlfriend think too much about that?"
Heinz looked at his son. When he mentioned Celeste, Gary's expression changed.
After a slight pause, he told Heinz, "Today, she called Celeste. On the day of the funeral, Cindy appeared at the cemetery too."
Heinz nodded. "I know about that." "If you knew, why didn't you say anything?" Gary
exclaimed.
Heinz looked at his son and said impatiently, "Son, what are you shouting for? Didn't she just show up? I think she just wants to see Celeste."
Gary snorted coldly and said, "I see that you understand her quite well. I don't know your relationship with her. It feels like you want her to appear in front of you."
"Don't talk nonsense." Heinz immediately got serious. "What would I want to do with her? What you said seems to be true. Fortunately, your mom trusts me."
"Who says I trust you?" Grace's voice suddenly came out of nowhere.
The two of them looked at the direction of the stairs. Grace walked down, looked at Heinz and Gary and spoke, "What is Cindy up to this time? If Liam's matter really has something to do with her, then I think it is time we took action."
Gary nodded too.
Heinz looked at Grace. "Did you just say that you don't believe me?"
"You have some feelings for her, haven't you?" Grace said. "Ever since I secretly took pictures of you, you have said that you would make her regret it, and it has been 16 to 17 years, but that never happened. Now that I think about it, you must
have some feelings for her."
Heinz took a deep breath and said, "Honey, you are really going to frame me to death."
"Then, show her what you can do," Grace said. "Don't just talk about it. That is not good enough."
Gary nodded as well. "I think what Mom said is very feasible."
Heinz looked at how the two of them were agreeing with each other and felt helpless. "Okay, since you two don't care about Celeste's feelings, then I won't care about it either."
At this moment, Celeste was in the corridor of the second floor. After hearing the conversation, she initially wanted to go downstairs. However, after hearing these, she got a little hesitant.
If they really wanted to do something to Cindy, she had no objections. On the contrary, Liam's future was in her hands. Trampling over other people's future and dignity was wrong.
