True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 681

"I can guarantee its authenticity," Heinz said, feeling that Alice had become more meticulous than before. "What's wrong with you? You're even doubting me now?"

"It's because you have so many hidden secrets," Alice replied. "Once bitten, twice shy!"

Heinz's expression froze after Alice hit back at him. He was at a loss for words.

He poured a cup of tea for Alice to express his apology.

Alice did not drink it and put it in front of her while she continued to examine the divorce certificate.

The divorce certificate was indeed issued less than two hours earlier that day.

She noticed that the photo was also taken in the outfit he was wearing that day, and he looked very depressed.

"Why do you look so depressed? Is it because you're hesitant to get a divorce?" Alice asked Heinz as she looked through the divorce certificate in her hand.

Heinz raised his eyebrows and asked, "Am I that kind of person?"

"Whoops. Then tell me what kind of person you are." Alice said, refusing to let the matter go.

Heinz turned to Jensen for help, hoping that his good friend would intercede for him.

Alice immediately hit back at Jensen as soon as she met his gaze. "Don't look at me. Let's see if this divorce certificate is genuine or not first."

She handed the divorce certificate to Jensen and asked him to check it.

Jensen opened it and examined the divorce certificate carefully. "The embossing seal is genuine."

"Okay, this is genuine," Alice said. " Do you think a divorced man like you can give Grace happiness?"

Upon hearing her words, Heinz's expression froze again. He looked a little pale.

Alice's words had hit right on his sore spot. It was precisely because of this that he had always kept it hidden from Grace. He did not want to tell Grace that he was once married.

Although it was short, it was also a part of his life.

It was a dark part of his life.

He felt that he was not mature enough at that time. Therefore, he did not think about things clearly before doing it, which left hidden dangers in his life.

"Alice, you can't say that," Heinz hesitated for a while but still couldn't help speaking.

"Am I not speaking the truth?" Alice was still angry at the thought of it. "Originally, I really accepted you as my brother-in-law, but who knew that you would actually lie to my sister? Do you think it’s easy for her to accept it?"

"I have done wrong."

It was really rare for Heinz to admit his mistake.

Alice scoffed.

"It doesn’t help even when you admit your mistake. This isn't about that," Alice said. "I get angry every time I think about it. After all, you could've confessed earlier, but you didn't. Your motive isn't pure."

Heinz fell silent again. What Alice said was the truth, so he really had no way to refute it.

When Jensen saw this scene, he hurriedly spoke up to help his good friend out of the trouble. "Okay, Alice, stop saying that. Heinz also knows his problem."

Alice shot Jensen an intense glare.

Smiling, Jensen said gently and dotingly, "You always get tough whenever you encounter anything related to Grace. However, you are soft when you encounter your own problems. Don't you think that you are funny? You two sisters are both the same. Both of you will become brave for each other."

"Is it funny?" Alice grumbled and looked at Jensen, complaining, "You are smiling so hard that you look like a flower."

Jensen became serious and said, "Come on. Let's have some tea. Let's celebrate that Heinz finally regained his freedom."

Alice was stunned for a moment. After all, this was considered a good thing for her sister and nephews.

Hence, she nodded and responded, "Okay."

She raised her glass.

Heinz and Jensen quickly clinked glasses with her.

Heinz was at a loss for words.

Soon, the dishes were served.

The three of them started eating and Heinz's phone rang when they were about to finish the food. It was a call from Chief Stone.

Frowning, Heinz picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"

"Heinz, what would it take for you to feel satisfied?"

"Aunt Stone, are you questioning me?" Heinz retorted.

Queenie said, "Do you know that after Jodie divorced you, she didn't come out of her room when she went home? Her parents felt that something was wrong, only to find that she had attempted suicide by slitting her wrists when they opened the door."

Heinz's entire body froze upon hearing this. After a long while, he asked, "How is she now?"

"She’s in a critical state and she's in the hospital now," Queenie said. "We are not sure whether she'll pull through. She's bleeding profusely."

Heinz held his phone tightly in his hand.

"Quickly, come to the hospital," said Queenie.

Heinz pondered for a moment and replied, "Okay."

After hanging up, he immediately got up and said, "I'm going to the hospital."

"What happened?"

"Jodie has attempted suicide," Heinz replied.

"D*mn it!" Alice was also shocked and said, "I already said that this is not a clean- break divorce. You couldn't sit still when you heard that she attempted suicide. It can clearly be seen that there will still be interactions even after the divorce."

"Alice, after all, it's a matter of life and death," Jensen said persuasively. "Heinz will blame himself if he doesn't go to the hospital now."

"If you want to go, let's go together," Alice said. "Let's go. We are done eating."
