Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 545

"Marry went in too." Britney, Simon's mother, looked puzzled and helpless as she said, "Things have come this far without us knowing."

"That's right. I'm not sure how things came this far either," Grace said faintly.

Britney's statement made Grace feel helpless. She did not know why they were there. They probably already knew the truth but didn't want to admit that they were wrong.

Britney was flustered as she looked at Grace with disbelief.

"Grace, how could you say that you are unsure?"

"She's right." Tobias, Simon's father, continued, "It's all because of you that they were arrested. How can you blame other people for it?"

"Mr. and Mrs. Brown, since both of you think that I am the cause of it, I'm sure you already know the reason," Grace's tone sounded firm.

"We don't know," Tobias said in a firm tone as well. "They are your family members. They are your sister and brother-in-law. Why did you work with Heinz to bring them down?"

"Family?" Grace laughed coldly. "My family took my newborn child away from me. They even lied and told me that my child was dead. I've never heard of family members like this."

"That must be a misunderstanding." Britney made an excuse and avoided eye contact. "You and Simon were in love. Whatever happened was due to jealousy."

"Mrs. Brown," Grace clicked her tongue. "I'm afraid that I have to disagree with you."

"Grace, you cannot ignore the truth that is right in front of you. Simon loved you for many years. He is married to your sister because he had no choice. They are fated to be together." Britney continued, "Let bygones be bygones. Why don't you learn to accept your fate? You can't hold a grudge against your sister and Simon forever."

"Mrs. Brown," Grace frowned and said in an indifferent tone, "You came to me because of your child. However, I've reported them to the police for my child's sake as well. We are both acting out of love. How am I holding a grudge?"

Britney was flustered.

Her face turned pale when she looked at Grace's furious face.

"No matter what, Grace, it's all in the past. Would you just let go of it?"

"Mrs. Brown, are you saying that I should just let go of things just because it is in the past?"

"Indeed. Stop being so vengeful." Britney stated, "Holding onto grudges makes you unhappy."

"That's true," Grace smiled sarcastically. "So, you can blame me for your son's situation, yet I am wrong to call the police for my son's sake."

"That's different." Britney became angry when she heard her tone. "You got pregnant before you were married! Marry took your child away for your own good. She was taking care of your family's reputation."

Grace froze and her breathing became rapid.

Britney was really good with her words. She knew how to twist the truth.

In her eyes, it was completely normal for one's newborn child to be taken away from them.

Grace was at a loss for words.

Britney thought that she had convinced Grace.

"Grace, can't you see? Both our families are close. Simon was your ex-boyfriend, but he is your brother-in- law now. You shouldn't be so heartless and ruthless towards them."

Grace did not say anything.

She wanted to see how shameless Britney could be. She wanted to see what nonsense she could spit out.

"Grace, forgive them, won’t you?" Britney frowned when she saw that Grace did not answer and she continued, "For the sake of the past you once had with Simon."

"That's right." Tobias nodded. "Grace, you and Simon were in love. You have a place in his heart. Could you please be more forgiving? It would be better for everyone."

"You got pregnant even before you got married. What makes you think that we should respect you?" Britney was anxious, thus her words were frank and sharp.

"Since when did I ask for your respect?" Grace argued and the atmosphere became heated. "Indeed, I got pregnant before I was married. But what does that have to do with the Brown family?"

"You are so full of yourself," Tobias immediately scolded, "What a b*tch. We came to discuss with you humbly but not only did you not show respect, you are acting like you are on top of the world."

"Haha!" Grace smiled coldly. "You call this a discussion? I think what you said sounded more like orders, don't you think? You could not get me to do what you want so you started swearing instead. You think this is discussing?"

Grace had long seen through their intentions.

They did not have a choice. They were scared of Heinz but did not want to back off so easily either.

"Do you agree to help us or not?" Tobias asked angrily.

"Please leave," Grace said coldly. "I'm sorry but I cannot escort you out."

"You really don't want to help us?" Tobias saw her expression and furrowed his brows. His eyes were filled with anger.

Britney was flustered as well. "Grace, you really don't plan on helping us?"

Grace bid them goodbye, "I can't help you. Please leave now."

Tobias and Britney were both in disbelief. They thought that Grace was a gentle and well-behaved girl. To their surprise, she had changed after almost 6 years since they last met.

She didn't care about Simon's terrible situation. She acted like she had nothing to do with it. She acted like she didn't care at all.

Tobias glared at Grace angrily, "You are being too heartless. Grace, you'd better think again."
