True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 172

Heinz frowned and narrowed his eyes.

Marry stared at him and smiled faintly at Heinz's apprehension towards her.

"Mr. Jones, we are quite similar don't you think? I don't even care that my sister and Simon had been together in the past. Trust me, I know what you are feeling right now."

"Who do you think you are?" Heinz replied without a care.

"I'm Grace's sister." Marry knew exactly what would strike Heinz's nerves. Even if he said that he didn't care, it is all but a pretence.

This is nature of men.

They are territorial, and possessive over what they think belonged to them.

Heinz did not speak. He just looked at Marry coldly.

Marry smiled wryly and explained patiently, "The reason I wanted the development rights of that piece of land is because it holds the most beautiful memories of my husband with his first love. I heard that they had their first kiss there."

His eyes trembled violently.

Heinz clenched his fists tightly, suppressing every ounce of anger rippling through his body.

Seeing Heinz trying his best to maintain his composure, Marry smiled and continued, "If I am

able to acquire the rights for my husband, I believe he will be very grateful to me. Honestly, I do not care for this small infatuation between my sister and my husband. What I want is a long-term love."

Heinz glared at her. If only he was able to make her disappear this instant.

His long, dark eyelashes batted against his fiery eyes as his thin lips curved upwards.

"Mr. Jones, are you angry?" Marry prodded.

A cold smile appeared on Heinz's face as he answered coolly, "Angry? Why would I be angry?"

"Oh." Marry was not done. She blinked her eyes lightly and spoke softly, "I thought you would be upset. I didn't expect Mr. Jones to be as open-minded as I am. We know what we want, don't we."

Suddenly, Heinz reached out his hand and pulled Marry's lower jaw, caressing it lightly.

Marry smiled. "What are you doing, Mr. Jones?"

"You have such a beautiful face, but why do you possess such an ugly heart?"

"Oh no!” Marry retorted, albeit gracefully. "Mr. Jones, why would you say something so terrible."

Marry scrutinised the man in front of her. His eyes were filled with pride and arrogance, his features so many times more handsome than Simon's.

His aura so charming that it would attract anyone's attention in his presence.

Marry blinked her eyes slightly, "Mr. Jones, you are very handsome, but please do not play tricks on me.

I only have my husband in my heart. I am not a woman who goes around sleeping with other men. I'm not that easy."

She was indirectly insulting Grace.

He pulled her jaw with a little more force. His grip hurt, but Marry was not afraid. She just looked at him and kept smiling.

It was when Heinz exerted more force that Marry winced at the pain. "Mr Jones, why are you being so rough on a helpless woman like me? It wouldn't look good on you if someone happens to see this."

"Enough!" Heinz shouted coldly.

"Marry, you are very despicable." he uttered darkly.

"So what?" Marry smiled, "As long as my husband thinks I'm good, I don't care about what others think."

Heinz raised his eyebrows and stared at her. There were no words that could describe how much he despised her.

"You'll never get the development rights for that piece of land."

Marry shrugged her shoulders, "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't expecting that. Well, it's not all that bad if you have the rights anyway. Perhaps you could build a memorial on behalf of my sister. We're family after all. That might seem better in fact."

Heinz's eyes narrowed again.

Marry tugged on Heinz's hand on her face, a smirk appearing across her lips. "Mr. Jones, you really shouldn't be acting this way. Wouldn't it be awkward if my sister sees it?"
