Heinz was still hungover. Upon hearing his grandfather's accusations, his mind began buzzing; he simply couldn't react. "Where's Grace?" He didn't see her around him so he was very worried. "Where are the children?"1

"They're gone." Old Master Carter turned his head and left.

"They're gone?" Heinz quickly went up the stairs and caught up with the Old Master.

The old man had already arrived at the door of his bedroom. Mr. Carter pushed the door open and entered his room.

Heinz followed him into the room. Looking at the old man, he asked anxiously, "Grandpa, did you really let Grace go? Where did she go?"

"Where are you talking about?" Old Master Carter fired back. "Why did you drink so much? You've drunk away your wife and children. Even Ernest has left with them. You are a terrible person."

The old man finally had an opportunity to pick on his grandson and he was really enjoying it.

Heinz, who was always self-righteous, often ridiculed his grandfather.

Now that Mr. Carter had discovered an opportunity to criticize Heinz, it was only natural for him to grab hold of it.

"You got yourself drunk after she told you that she didn't want to marry you. How can you do that to her? Aren't you embarrassed?" Old Master Carter said.

He looked at Heinz as he spoke.

Heinz's brows were scrunched in a knot and he remained silent.

"No words?" Old Master Carter asked again. "Aren't you always great? Why aren't you saying anything now?"

Heinz was still in a daze. He didn't want to waste his time bickering with his grandfather.

He turned around to leave.

The old man said in a deep voice, "As if it wasn't bad enough that you do not care for others and that you always show your horrid temper, you were disgusting just now." His words made Heinz stop in his tracks.

He turned around to look at Old Master Carter. He racked his brain to think about what he had done after he got drunk.

"What did I do?" Heinz asked.

"You can't remember what you did, can you?" The old man said, "Don't hurry to find her. I'll tell you what you did to her."

"What on earth did I do?" Heinz asked again.

As Old Master Carter recalled that scene, even he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

He looked at Heinz in disgust and said, "You almost molested Grace in the dining hall as everyone watched."

"What?" Heinz was also stunned. His first reaction was, "How can that be?" "We have witnesses," claimed the old man. He knew that Heinz wouldn't believe the act he had committed. "The children and I saw you press her under your body. We all saw it. If it wasn't for the butler, God knows what would you have done."

Heinz's mind became blank in that instant.

He sluggishly walked over to the bed and sat down on it.

Old Master Carter sat on the bed as well. He turned his head to look at the dejected Heinz and asked in a low voice, "Just tell me, what makes you so angry that you keep drinking?"

"Did they go back to Emerald Apartment?" Heinz asked.

"Yeah," the Old Master nodded. "The butler sent them himself, and it's obvious that Miss Smith is very angry. You're such a disgrace."

"I was angry that she didn't want to marry me," admitted Heinz. In fact, he was still angry when he thought of it. He felt that he was a coward. He had not been hurt before, so that experience had cost his self- esteem.

When he was with Grace, he felt that he had lost all of his self-esteem.

He couldn't recover from the blows she delivered.

"I don't think that's the case," the old man mused. "She has borne your child. If she doesn't want to marry you, she wouldn't have wasted her time with you."

Heinz was stunned. He turned his head and looked into the old master's eyes. He was hesitant and doubtful.

The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "If an unfamiliar woman wants to marry you quickly, I don't think you would be interested in her."

"Grandpa, although that may be true, I'm still angry because of what Grace said," Heinz said.

"I'm happy though," Old Master Carter said with a smile. He looked truly glad.

Heinz was going crazy. "Grandpa, would you stop that? I'm in a bad situation now!

Old Master Carter retorted, saying, "Why not? You've been acting like a tyrant all these years. Finally, a woman who can subdue you has appeared. She is truly god-sent."

Heinz had no energy left in him. He had been ridiculed enough.

He sat there dejectedly. He didn't say a word no matter what the old Old Master Carter said.

After not receiving a response from Heinz, the old man became bored.

It was then that he took on a serious demeanour. He began, saying, "A woman who is rational is much better than a hot-headed one."

His words managed to attract Heinz's attention.

Seeing that he was paying attention, the old man continued to speak, "Although she's young, she has suffered a lot. Isn't she from the Sunny Group? She used to be from a rich family. Although that can't be compared with your Jones Estate, she used to not need to worry about food or clothing. However, she was forced to enter society."

Heinz pursed his lips. "She's really good at persevering."

"What a person faces when they are young may affect them for their whole life," the old man said and sighed. "Since the Jones Estate has developed so much, not everyone can be your wife. A woman who is irrational and immature may not be able to live with you for a long time if she becomes your wife."

Although Heinz rolled eyes, his deep thoughts were reflected in them.

"Jodie is an example," said the old man. "She was smart but she had been pampered since young. She might not have been able to endure hardships and suffering. You'll need a woman who can bear pressure and suffer hardships."

Heinz looked at the old man strangely as if he was looking at a different person. "Grandpa, are you speaking up for Grace?"

"I'm not speaking up for Grace," claimed the old man. "I'm just analyzing the matter thoroughly. A rational girl is more suitable for you."

Heinz didn't expect that his grandfather's analysis would lessen the sorrow building in his heart.

It made a lot of sense.

"You are not calm or stable enough. Today has proven that. How could you do such a disgusting thing? Drunkenly taking advantage of a girl in front of everyone? Have you never seen a woman before? What happened to you?" Old Master Carter chastised.

Heinz blushed and got up. He left for the door.

"Where do you think you're going?" Old Master Carter asked.

"I'm going to Grace," Heinz said.

"It's late at night already. How can she sleep if you go to her place now?" Old Master Carter asked solemnly. "If you really care about her, don't bother her at midnight. Didn't you say that she is not in good health and needs to rest well?"

"Grandpa, does this mean that you'll be satisfied if Grace becomes your granddaughter-in-law?" Heinz did not forget to ask the most important question.

"I'm satisfied." Old Master Carter finally admitted. "It's not like I'm the one getting married. Why do I have to play the villain? I also want to be a good person." "Aren't you afraid that Mrs. Hudson will cause you trouble?" Heinz asked.

"She's not my wife and I'm not always with her. Why should I be afraid of her?" The old man knew where to draw the line.

Heinz smiled and said, "Alright, old man, you aren't too bad." "I've never been bad. You just never knew that," said the old man as his eyes filled with disgust. "You, on the other hand, are an imbecile."
