Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 949

Heinz's heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously turned to look at Grace. He was worried that Grace might listen in on their conversation.

Fortunately, he did not turn on the speaker. He just spoke into the phone as normal. Grace did not seem to have overheard his conversation with Jensen.

She looked at Heinz and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Heinz immediately lowered his voice and said, "Go to sleep. There's something I need to discuss with Jensen."

At that time, Jensen asked from the other end of the line, "You're with Grace? You know what? Forget it. Grace must not know about it or else she'll worry. How about this? I'll try to find Alice while you keep Grace company."

"No, well find her together," Heinz said. He sounded very determined.

He knew that Grace would be worried if Alice disappeared. If that happened, then it would be troublesome.

He and Jensen had to immediately go out and search for Alice. He did not want to cause any unnecessary stress to Grace, which would in turn affect the baby.

Jensen knew that he could not say much over the phone. He said urgently, "Alright then, Heinz. I'll go ahead and start searching for Alice. I'll see you in a bit."

"Alright," Heinz replied. After hanging up, he realized that Grace was still looking at him.

"What happened? You seem a little stressed up all of a sudden." Grace was particularly sensitive and could sense that something was wrong.

"Something happened to Jensen. I'm going over to see what I can do," Heinz said. "Why don't you go to sleep first? I'll be back in an hour or so."

"What's the matter? Did he quarrel with Alice?"

When Heinz heard her question, he knew that Grace would be even more worried if he tried to conceal it further.

"Most probably," Heinz said. "Don't worry about it right now. I'll go and check it out. I'll let you know when I get home. Right now, the most important thing is our baby."

When Grace heard that Alice and Jensen had gotten into an argument, she immediately said, "No, I'm coming with you."

"Grace!" Heinz shouted. He sounded serious.

Grace knew that he was worried about her.

She paused for a moment and instantly understood. The health of the baby was more important. "Heinz, I know that you are worried about the baby. Fine, I won't go. I'll call Alice."

"You'd better not call her. She did not tell you because she knows that you're still in your first trimester. She did not want to cause any unnecessary stress to you and the baby. Jensen and I will try to talk to her." Heinz did not inform her that Alice was missing. "She's upset right now and it's probably because she heard the news about Candace. She's probably deeply affected by her death."

After thinking for a while, she nodded. "Yes, I'm sure she is sad. Maybe it's also because I did not tell her about our mother's death. She has no way to vent her emotions. You should try to persuade her. Don't tell her about the bad things, only tell her the good things. I do not want Lowell and her to know how selfish our mother was."

"I understand," Heinz said as he looked at her. His low, mellow voice was a little hoarse as he said, "Go to sleep. I'll be back before you know it."

"Alright."

Heinz quickly changed his clothes and left.

As soon as he emerged from the house, he sent his team to investigate Alice's whereabouts.

After getting into the car, Heinz tried to call Alice. However, it seemed like her phone had been turned off.

He called Jensen again.

"What actually happened? I'm out of the house now. I'm in the car. Can you please explain to me in detail what actually happened? Why did she leave the house? Why didn't she bring her phone?" "I have no idea what's going on either. By the time I got home, she was nowhere to be seen. I asked my parents whether she acted weird, and they said that she looked very good. She went out before having her dinner. I called her again, but her phone was turned off."

"Did the two of you actually get into a fight?"

"We just argued over the phone. She asked me why I did not tell her about her mother's death. Then, she asked me how she died."

Alice came out of the house and got into a taxi. It seemed like she was headed for Northern City University.

Jensen hurriedly drove to Northern City University. However, when he arrived at Northern City University, he checked the CCTV footage of the school gate and found that Alice did not enter the university. Instead, she turned around and entered an alley by the school gate.

Jensen stood outside the alley and observed the place. There were no surveillance cameras inside. It was just a single-lane alley.

At that time, it was a little past 11 o'clock in the evening. The lane was lit with street lamps. The shops nearby had not closed and there were quite a number of people out having supper.

Heinz also came and met Jensen at the back door.

"This is the alley. Alice went in and did not come out." Jensen looked at the alley with a dignified look.

"What about the other exits?" Heinz asked. "Did you check if there are any other exits?"

"I'm checking." Jensen arranged for someone to track Alice's cell phone.

Soon, they entered the alley. They found a few shops and some of them had surveillance cameras.

They went in and retrieved the footage. Jensen saw Alice's figure at a glance as she passed by the door of a toy shop.

"Here!" He pointed at the footage and said to his subordinate, "Pause the video!"

It was not until the video was paused that Jensen could actually see that the woman in the video was indeed Alice. "It's her."

Heinz saw it too.

Alice lowered her head and walked in a hurry with a dignified look on her face. However, her silhouette merely flashed and passed by.

"I want you to check which hotel has a CCTV." Jensen ordered.
