True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 824

Candace paused for a moment, then smiled lightly as she stated in an ironic manner, "This type of negotiation skill is the most common trick in business. Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. You just want to pump me for information."

Heinz quirked his brows and said indifferently while watching how she became irritated, "You're so sensitive that you're provoked almost as soon as I touched on the confidential information. That's why I'm sure there' are a lot of secrets behind this."

She scowled at him and coldly denied, "I don't have any secrets. Don't simply label things that you do not know about."

"Since you said that there are a lot of tricks on the negotiating table, then I can also safely say that you are not telling the truth. There must be some secrets that we don't know, and somehow, they are affecting me and Grace."

Candace was a little impatient, and she said, "Forget it. I don't have any secrets. Why don't you believe me? Don't try to get any secrets from me. I have nothing to say. You can go!"

"You're asking me to leave so soon, but you know that I'm not someone who will give up so easily. Furthermore, Grace will not agree for me to leave just like that!" He said. He was resolute to discover the truth.

Candace saw his determination. He really decided to spend all his time eliciting the secret from her. It seemed that he would not give up until he reached his goal.

She started to feel uncomfortable. She felt like her whole body was aching.

She began to feel the excruciating pain in her stomach, which was becoming intolerable.

Heinz stared at her and frowned while sizing her up. He knew that she couldn't hold on any longer.

"Heinz, what exactly do you want?" She questioned as she seemed to reach a breaking point. It was obvious that she was running out of patience.

As she was getting more and more uncomfortable from the unbearable pain in her abdomen, beads of sweat broke out on her forehead. The discomfort made her breath quicken.

Heinz smiled gently and didn't hurry to speak.

"Just say what you want to say. I don't want to beat around the bush anymore. I don't want to see you, so leave once and for all already."

She didn't want her uneasiness to be seen by others, especially her children. Hence, she was even more anxious.

"Well, I'll tell you my purpose. Let's be frank," said Heinz while his penetrating gaze fell on her face. He saw the sweat on her forehead, and he could see that she was feeling unwell.

It was normal for people with advanced cancer to feel uncomfortable. Candace must already be suffering so much from the disease.

"Firstly, I want to know who Grace's father is. Secondly, what relationship did you have with Aaron and Jodie? What role did you play in the news related to Grace? Were you a participant or a decision-maker?"

"Thirdly, who is Lowell's father? Why did you have to entrust him to us? Why not him?"

"So far, I have only thought of these three major questions. If you can answer these questions, we will not bother you anymore. I know that you are feeling unwell at the moment. You don't want us to see you look like a drowned mouse, do you?"

There was sheer terror in Candace's eyes. Her hands were clutching tightly onto the sheets on the bed under the blanket and she was sweating even more profusely.

She looked at Heinz and said, "For the first question, I won't tell you the answer. For the second question, I can tell you that I didn't play any role in it. I didn't know what the news was about. I knew Aaron because he once saved the life of Lowell's father. As for me and Lowell's father, we were like confidants to each other and we had gone through difficulties together."

"I don't entrust Lowell to him because I know that he can't raise him well. I don't want Lowell's life to be unstable."

"As for his identity, I think you will know it one day, and it will not be a secret for too long."
