True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 464

In the private room.

While Grace waited for Old Master Carte to take his seat, she remained standing in the private room to show him respect.

Something flashed through Old Master Carter's eyes when he noticed Grace's behavior.

Without saying a word, the Old Master fixed his eyes on Grace.

His stare made the hair on the back of Grace's neck stand.

She knew that Old Master Carter was no ordinary person. He was a person of high status and had been a soldier his entire life. Rumors said that he had a bad temper.

Grace thought that it was normal for someone who had served in the army to have a bad temper.

Since he was senior to her, Grace had to act accordingly. The old man didn't ask her to sit down. Hence, she just stood there, waiting for his instruction.

There could only be one reason why Old Master Carte had come to see her. It was either to warn her or to ask her to leave Heinz.

Old Master Carter looked at Grace who had a smile on her face. She wasn't impatient or hasty; she remained standing.

There was a glimmer of approval in his eyes, but his voice betrayed no emotions as he said calmly, "Please take a seat, Miss Smith."

"Thank you," After expressing her thanks, she sat down. "Mr. Carter, what can I do for you? Just tell me honestly."

"You are such a straightforward person," Old Master Carter said in a low voice. "Then I'll be frank with you."

"Just let me know," Grace said. "I'll pay close attention."

"I think you should know why I am here," Old Master Carte said.

After hesitating for a while, Grace said, "You want me to leave Heinz, don't you?"

He was very surprised.

A look of surprise appeared on Old Master Carter's face as he looked at her. The girl in front of him seemed calm and composed, as if she was not afraid of him.

It was really rare.

Just by meeting her once, Old Master Carter knew that Grace had a better character than Claris Hudson.

Alas, she did not have a good family background.

Old Master Carter nodded slightly. "Since you already know that I want you to leave Heinz, what do you think of it? Give me a quick answer."

Looking at the old man staring calmly at her, it was not clear to Grace what his true purpose was at that moment

Did she want to leave Heinz?

Of course not.

Pursing her lips, she smiled. Then, she said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Carter. That is something I cannot do."

"You are not Heinz's match," Old Master Carter bluntly spat.

Grace nodded, "Well, in the eyes of others, or rather in the eyes of elders like you, I indeed fall far from the wife you want Heinz to have."

Old Master Carter raised his brow and said with a smile, "You do know your place."

Grace also smiled. "That's obvious."

"What do you think, then?" Old Master Carter could sense that Grace was not done speaking.

"I think my thoughts don't matter," Grace said. She clearly understood that she would never be worthy to marry Heinz in the eyes of those people.

However, that did not mean that she thought the same.

Nevertheless, she was still very upset. She had always known that marrying into a rich and powerful family would never be easy.

Old Master Carter smiled and said, "I still want to know what you think."

"I don't think I'm worse than Heinz," Grace did not shy away from the topic. She spoke her mind freely, "Perhaps in your eyes, my family background, my education and my occupation is far from what you would expect to see in a granddaughter-in-law. You may think that only a girl like Miss Hudson is worthy of Heinz, but I don't think so."
