Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 99

"Marry Smith," Grace Smith called out her full name in anger, gritting her teeth.

Marry Smith was startled.

In her memory, Grace had never been so hysterical and angry.

She looked at Grace in and disbelief. "Grace?"

Grace Smith still felt sour after releasing her frustration.

It was ridiculous for Marry Smith to say these words.

However, she understood where Marry Smith was coming from. She was probably afraid of losing Simon Brown.

It turned out that she was still haunted by her insecurities all these years.

She feared losing everything, and that pushed her to behave so callously.

Grace Smith almost felt sorry for Marry when she looked at her.

Was it worth it, marrying such a man?

Grace composed herself and then said in a low voice, "Then let me ask you, why didn't you give Alice her allowance for her living expenses?"

Marry seemed to have been shaken by this question, but then she took a deep breath, "Grace, I knew that Alice would able to find you." She said.

"She was able to find me, but you weren't. Don't you think it's very ironic?" Grace Smith retorted mercilessly.

Marry froze again while her eyes widened in shock. "You think that I didn't look for you on purpose?"

"Haha, is it still important?" Grace replied lightly. "Tell me, I really want to know why you cut off Alice's allowance."

"Grace, Sunny Group almost had to close down, we almost went bankrupt," Marry Smith replied.

"Her allowance is not within the company's working capital!" Grace said bluntly. "Don't you assume that I am so silly! Dad had already saved enough for Alice's living allowance and tuition fees. Where did the money go? What was going on?"

"Fine, Grace," Marry said seriously, "I admit it. I did it on purpose."

Grace's gaze grew sharper. "I knew it." She said.

"I wanted her to come back to me, but she didn't. Both of you were in contact but neither of you got in touch with me. As a sister, I was dejected. Don't you understand?" Marry continued in a pained voice.

"So that was why you did not give her the allowance?" Grace asked, she felt extremely satirical, and her eyes grew colder and colder. "So it did not matter to you, how much she suffered, how young she was, and whether she would succumb to the wrong path? Just because you had control over her allowance, so she had to wag her tail and beg you for her it?"

"I hoped that she would come back to the Smith family, and I wished that you would come back too.

It would only feel like home with both of you," Marry Smith said in a deep voice. "Grace, I have definitely wronged you by being in a relationship with Simon Brown. Other than that, I have a clear conscience."

As she said this, her eyes were red, and her beautiful face was filled with a humiliated grief.

Seeing Marry's behavior, Grace Smith narrowed her eyes and remained silent.

The atmosphere was a little tense.

Marry Smith burst into tears and said, "Grace, I know you're angry because of Simon. I know it all."

"You don't," Grace Smith said, she was about to explode with rage. "Who do you think Simon is? I've already told you that I don't fancy him anymore. He is such a hypocrite, both of you are destined to be together.".

Marry Smith laughed at herself. "I am a failure. I am not even welcome at my sister's house."

"I don't have such a big heart," Grace Smith said in a low voice. "Please go back and stop looking for me." "Grace, let's go home together. I've always asked the servants to clean your room. You can move back home,'¹ Marry pleaded.

"I won't ever go back," Grace Smith said blandly. "I have never planned to go back since the day I left."

"You are taking care of your child alone... By the way, where is he?" Marry asked.

Grace did not answer. "Please leave. If you want to talk about the old days, you don't have to do it now."

"Grace, in fact, there's something else I'm here for," Marry Smith said.

Grace Smith froze. Marry Smith was finally bringing up her true intentions.

Grace turned around and looked at her.

"Sunny Group is in a critical situation. Jones Estate has been working with us, and they have been reducing our profit share. Simon didn't manage to negotiate a raise in our profit share. I'm worried sick as the contract has to be redrafted tomorrow morning. Grace, since you're working in his office, you must be familiar with Heinz Jones. Can you help me beg him so that we can maintain the profit share at twenty- eight percent?" Marry Smith pleaded.

Grace closed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "So this is the reason why you're here today?"

Marry was pushed to a corner.

Grace smiled coldly and questioned, "Marry Smith, why don't you answer me?"

"Grace," Marry immediately explained, "It's not what you think. This is just a coincidence. Please don't misunderstand."

"Misunderstand what?" Grace Smith glanced at her and said direly, "Did I misunderstood your request for help?"
