Eva frowned in anger at Heinz's words; the displeasure on her face was clear as day. As she looked at Heinz, her eyes flashed.
Eva took a deep breath and managed to force out a smile.
So, she was able to endure it?
Heinz squinted his eyes. He thought that Eva was as snobbish as her elder brother, Charles.
She must have heard of him before, and was afraid of his status in the business world, which was why she held herself back.
Otherwise, based on her foul attitude towards Grace just now, she would have flown into a rage.
Since she could hold herself back, there was no doubt that Eva had a plan in mind. There was obviously a hidden motive behind her pleasantries.
Grace was puzzled to see that Eva hadn't argued with Heinz.
Normally, someone unkind like her would not stay silent after being humiliated. However, Eva had tolerated it.
Only after thinking for a while did she truly realize that Heinz had a high status in the business world, and was internationally recognized.
Otherwise, the members of the Lowe family wouldn't be so polite and tolerant.
After getting herself in check, Eva smiled at Heinz and said, "Mr. Jones, I've heard of your prestige. You're a famously talented and wealthy person in Northern City. I respect you for being a gentleman who speaks up for your woman."
Heinz snorted and replied calmly, "I don't need your respect."
Eva replied with a smile, "That's your problem. I have always admired successful people. As for the women who rely on men to get what they want, they are nothing in my eyes."
As she spoke, Eva looked at Grace as if she was speaking with her eyes, telling her that she was a woman exactly like that.
Grace frowned and maintained her cold gaze. She didn't want to pay attention to such a ridiculous woman.
When Heinz heard Eva continuing to slander his wife, he made up his mind right away. His gaze sharpened, but he did not make a move. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and coldly stared at Eva.
"Since ancient times, people have always said that a husband's success is a wife's honor. On the contrary, a wife's virtue is the foundation of her husband's success. Grace is my wife, and we complement each other. We have mutual respect for one another and live happily."
"We are not like others, who disrespect their parents all the way into their old age. Not to mention, they don't bother to think before they speak. Isn't that totally unreasonable?"
Heinz's nonchalant words startled everyone.
Charles' expression was grim as he glanced at Eva.
Eva gritted her teeth and wanted to fire back at him. She was furious that Heinz had dared to provoke her.
However, she was able to endure it in the end.
She took a deep breath, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Heinz who was staring right back at her. She did not say a word.
After a long while, she realized that nobody was speaking. She frowned and said, "You guys can talk amongst yourselves. Don't worry about me, I'm going to talk to Mr. Jones for a bit."
Charles stared at Eva and tried to warn her with his eyes not to mess it up.
However, Eva was simply a troublemaker, and completely ignored his warning.
She glanced at Grace, her words filled with nothing but malice. Eva looked Grace up and down.
Grace also met her gaze without any intent to run away.
