True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 275

Alice's face flushed a little. She felt embarrassed with Grace right next to her. Throwing a glance at Grace, Alice realized she was staring at her and smiling. She immediately shouted at Jensen over the phone, "I'm not in the mood to talk to you."

After hanging up on Jensen, she looked at Grace, still slightly abashed.

"You shouldn't be so rude with Officer Charm. It's better for girls to be gentle," Grace said.

"You have no idea how annoying he is," Alice said. "How could he fall in love with me at first sight? I'm not worthy of him to do that. I feel that he has his own agenda. I can't figure out what his motive is yet but I'm sure it's not love at first sight."

Alice has always been a sensitive person.

Grace was dazed but she didn't show it. She said with a smile, "That's just your excuse for not wanting to be in a relationship."

"I'm serious. I don't think his motive is pure," Alice said sternly.

"Well, you have the say then." Grace was trying to end the conversation.

Alice let out a sigh and suddenly remembered something. "Hold on," she said.

"Okay," Grace replied.

Alice rushed to her bag and took out the card.

She came back and handed it to Grace.

Grace was puzzled and asked, "What's this?"

Alice looked at her and said wholeheartedly, "I know that you have secretly helped me with the medical fees. Jensen got it back for us. This is the refund."

"Refunded?" Grace was dumbstruck.

"Yeah, it was refunded in full amount," Alice nodded and said.

Still feeling suspicious, Grace asked, "Is it for real?"

"It has to be. Jensen guided me through the procedures in the police station. I signed the papers. It shouldn't be wrong," Alice said.

"It's weird," Grace said.

"There's nothing weird. Just take the money, okay?" Alice said gratefully, "Thank you, Grace."

Grace looked at her and burst into laughter. "Don't mention it. We are family. Anyway this money belongs to Little Gary. A kid could earn more than me just by playing games. I should be ashamed."

"Of course, don't you know that my nephew is a genius?" Alice said proudly.

"Okay, I'll keep the money. Just tell me when you need it," Grace said.

Alice refused, "I don't want the money. There's nothing for me to buy after all."

Grace immediately shook her head and said, "No, I think you need to get yourself some new clothes. I'll transfer some money to you later, and you can do some shopping tomorrow."

"But I don't need new clothes," Alice protested.

"I'll buy for you then," Grace said. "Either you buy it yourself, or I'll buy it for you. Choose one."

"Fine, I'll go." Alice finally relented.

"Okay."

The next morning, Grace went to the newspaper office.

When she was entering the office, Hermione was also on her way in.

"Hi Grace, how are you doing?" Hermione asked.

"I'm feeling much better, Editor Lowe," Grace replied with a smile. "Sorry I had to take some time off work." "No worries. As long as you're okay," Hermione said. "You came just in time, Grace. Can I ask you something? About the investment that Heinz mentioned, we have yet to have a formal discussion. Since you're here today, do you want to go to the Jones Estate with me?"

"No," Grace refused without hesitation.

Hermione immediately felt something was amiss. She looked at Grace and asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight?"
