True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 26

Grace could tell that Chen made that statement in a scandalous way purposefully.

Grace knew very well that Chen wanted everyone to misunderstand that she got into Heinz's car as if she had some improper relationship with Heinz.

It was terrifying to think about his intention.

Under all her colleagues' cryptic eyes, an irrepressible feeling surged within her, the namecard in her hand seemed to be a precious amulet.

Grace clenched the name- card in her fist. Looking at Chen, there was a hint of unwillingness but fear in his eyes.

Grace inexplicably felt that Chen was actually much more despicable than Heinz.

Grace also understood that even if she explained the situation to all her colleagues, she would be digging her self a deeper grave.

"Director Chen, you're welcome. It's Mr. Jones who is kind and wants to compensate you after you were taken care of by his bodyguards. No one knows whether this matter is settled or not."

Grace phrased it with double meaning.

Chen's face was full of embarrassment and a trace of fear flashed across his face. "Is this not over yet?"

Grace shook her head. "I don't know."

She really didn't know.

Grace kept the name-card and walked to her seat.

Everyone looked at Chen's face meaningfully.

Chen tilted his nose and turned away.

As soon as Grace sat down, Lilian, who was beside her, glanced at her and then moved her chair over. Lilian lowered her voice and said, "Grace, I'm sorry."

Grace saw her and shook her head. "There's nothing to be sorry about."

"I was too reckless. If I had known that you could handle it, I shouldn't have stepped out. Now I just look more humiliated." Lilian's tone was a little sour.

Grace lowered her gaze, her long lashes covering the helplessness in her eyes.
