True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) -
Chapter 927 Love Is Important
Lawrence was rendered speechless by Grace and he found that she had a very strong sense of contempt towards him. Plus, she had never taken him as her father-in-law.
Lawrence couldn't help but frown, and his gaze became fiery out of anger. He pursed his lips and said coldly, "What do you mean?"
"Are you going to deny it?" Grace retorted without hesitation. "You can deny it, but you can't control other people's thoughts."
"Grace, do you have some kind of prejudice against me?" Lawrence asked with a frown.
"Yes, I am prejudiced against you. Why would I not? Have you done something to alleviate that?" Grace asked back bluntly. She then added, "Frankly speaking, it would be impossible for you to earn my respect."
"And why is that?"
"If you want to interact with your daughter-in-law like a normal family does, or you want your children to have some dignity, you have to be a competent father-in-law and father before anything else. As a father, you've abandoned your son and your wife. You left them to have a love affair, and that's your mistake. With this, it's impossible to have someone to respect you." Grace spoke succinctly, and she said seriously, "Even if you want to earn my respect now, it's impossible. What you have done in the past is what you will suffer today. Luck comes and goes. It's alright as long as everyone knows what they have done."
Hearing this, Lawrence was stunned before his eyes were filled with fury. "You... you are really sharp-tongued."
"Thank you for the compliment. Not everyone would say that, but almost everyone would think so. I am indeed very sharp-tongued. I don't usually speak like this, but when I do, you may not be able to defend yourself." At this point, Grace didn't bother being polite.
She told him all the things that Heinz and his mother had suffered through over the years, as if she had been holding her breath all the while.
Lawrence gritted his teeth and glared at Heinz. He said sarcastically, "So, this is the woman you married? I must say that you've found yourself a wonderful wife!"
"It's none of your business!" Heinz shouted coldly. "What does it have to do with you? It's not like you're married. You're not qualified to judge
Grace." "Am I the one who's judging her? She is clearly judging me instead!" Lawrence reaffirmed his statement by adding, "She has no respect for me, her father-in-law. Heinz, is this how you treat your father?"
"What?" Heinz sneered in response and said, "Are you trying to lecture me about attitude problems? What a joke."
"I'm your father!"
"Lawrence." Heinz bellowed at him again, saying, "The fact that I didn't chase you out is polite enough of me. Do you think that you have the right to be arrogant just because you haven't been thrown out? You have come to me several times, and you're incredibly annoying when you insist on not giving up until you reach your goal. Do you know that I feel disgusted whenever I see your face?"
At that, Lawrence was once again dumbstruck. He gaped at Heinz in disbelief, and the look in his eyes was full of pain.
He was frozen in place by these harsh words aimed at him, and he felt very miserable.
"You brought my mother's photo again today. Why do you want me to look at it? I'll have you know that when I see my mother's photo, I will cry out for her. All the resentment welling up in my heart will flow like a broken dam. I hate the fickle man that you are. What you did to my mother made her die an early death. Yet, you have the audacity to come to us? You are really detestable."
After that, Lawrence was silent for a long time upon being humiliated by both Heinz and Grace. He was infuriated, but he wanted to meet Candace.
He needed to meet Candace.
"I want to see Candace," Lawrence said sincerely. "If you let me see her just this once, I won't bother you anymore."
"You want to see her so badly because you just want to know if she has ever loved you. The truth is, you already know that she never did. You won't believe it, so you want proof. This is actually all simply your self-deception." Grace continued mercilessly, "I don't want you to see her as this regret should be left behind her. Heinz's mother and my father all came to a sorry end. Why did innocent people like them have to pass away in such misery, yet you want to leave without regrets?"
Again, her words instilled greater shock in Lawrence.
"They suffered so much harm because of you.
However, not only did you not apologize at all, but you even treated this as something to be expected. Why do others have to cooperate with you? Answer me, why?" Grace questioned him for the reason twice rendering Lawrence at a loss of words.
Having no answer, he drooped his head and was very depressed.
"Yes, it was my fault in the past. I was wrong, but it's too late for you guys to say anything now. I just want to see Candace."
"Between getting the money and seeing Candace, which do you need more?" Heinz suddenly asked.
Startled by the abrupt question, Lawrence looked at Heinz in surprise and asked, "Do... do you want to give me money?"
"You've got a hundred million dollar debt. I can clear it off for you, but the condition is that you can never meet Candace. Would you agree?" Heinz stared sharply at Lawrence and offered.
Lawrence hesitated for a while. He seemed to be weighing the pros and cons of the offer.
In the end, however, he still insisted, "No, I want to meet Candace."
Heinz's gaze was fixated on him.
Truth to be told, this answer surprised him.
It seemed that Candace had a very important place in Lawrence's heart.
Even when Lawrence was presented with the option to choose between love and money, love was still very important to him.
At the same time, Grace did not expect Lawrence's answer. She had expected that he would be more in need of the money.
It seemed that money was not the most important thing for him. Grace exchanged a look with Heinz. They stared at each other for a long time and Lawrence could not wait any longer. He spoke again, "I must see Candace. You have to let me see her. Even if I die immediately meeting her, I wouldn't mind at all."
Hearing Lawrence's words, Heinz sneered and uttered in a chilling voice, "Alright, you can see her. I'm going to repeat myself. Wait until I confirm Henry's address, and then we'll talk about it."
"I want to see her right now."
"Let him meet her," Grace said. "When he goes to her, he will definitely understand that my mother has never loved him, and he will finally give up. When he finds out that his great love for Candace was nothing but a joke, he will be very remorseful about leaving your mother. He will live the latter half of his life in regret."
Lawrence didn't speak when he heard this, but his expression had revealed his emotions.
He was afraid to hear that it was all a joke.
Nonetheless, how could he be sure if he didn't ask for himself?
"Please let me see her," Lawrence pleaded once more.
Grace repeated as well, "Heinz, just agree to it."
"Not now," Heinz said coldly. "Go home. If you want to see her, wait for a phone call at two o'clock in the afternoon."
