It was a sad and distressing thing to plot against their own parents.
No one would do that if it was not the last resort.
Grace went to look for the butler and then called Alice over.
It didn't take long for them to arrive.
In the dining room, Alice looked at Heinz and asked, "What's the matter?"
He glanced at her face and said with concern, "You don't look well. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
She was startled by his attentiveness and thoughtfulness. He could notice that she was in a bad mood.
She was really astounded by the fact that her mother had given birth to Lowell with Heinz's father.
She pursed her lips and tried to make herself look calm. She said, "I'm fine, What do you need me to do? You can just tell me."
He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll have the butler to buy something first. As for your task, I'll tell you later."
"Okay!" She said as she nodded obediently and waited there. She looked more collected and no longer had those restless and uneasy emotions.
Grace could see that Alice was really more composed than before.
Heinz said to the butler, "There is a job for you."
"Sure, just tell me what to do, sir."
"Go to the poultry farm and buy some live chicken!"
The butler asked puzzledly, "Do you want to have chicken for dinner?"
Heinz said, "You can say so. After you have bought them, cook one of them first."
The butler asked again, "Do you mean that we should slaughter it by ourselves?"
He nodded and said with great certainty, "Yes, we have to do it by ourselves!"
The butler was very astonished.
He muttered in his heart. Normally, they would buy the slaughtered chickens in the market. However, Heinz had asked him to buy a live one that day!
Moreover, it wasn't just one chicken, but he wanted a few of them.
"Okay, sir. l'|| go now. How many chickens should I get?"
Heinz thought for a moment and added, "Seven or eight. Also, buy some ropes. I want those made of cotton, not nylon, and they should be white in color, do you understand?"
"Okay, I'll get it done," said the butler and he quickly left.
Alice also looked at Heinz with a bewildered look. He gave the butler these orders while he was eating. However, the orders were all so strange.
She was a little anxious that he didn't give her any task even though the butler had left. She asked, "Heinz, what should I do?"
He smiled and said, "Don't worry. Let me finish my food first."
She had no choice but to wait.
After he finished eating, he looked at her and said, "Alice, do you want to vent your anger?"
