Chapter 14
Everyone looked at Grace and was shocked by her sudden angry shout.
Grace was also frightened by her own voice.
Lilian frowned and shook her head as if telling Grace not to tell Heinz about the truth.
Grace sensed and understood the difficulties in Lilians gaze, but the chief editor already said that Lilian was not the one who took the photos.
Grace didn't want Lilian to be the scapegoat alone. She should be courageous enough to take the blame.
"Mr. Jones." Grace said in a low voice, "You don't have the right to take Miss Ross away. Aren't you ignoring the law by taking people away like this?"
Heinz narrowed his eyes and looked at Grace indifferently.
Lester and the bodyguards were a little shocked. No one had dared to talk to the president like this before, except Grace. She was so bold.
"Grace, shut up!" Chen immediately stepped forward and bowed to Heinz. "Mr. Jones, please ignore the new staff. She is young and ignorant."
"Director Chen, I'm new here, but Mr. Jones can't take Miss Ross away today." Grace continued, "We are in the news industry, it's our job to publish news. If everyone behaves like Mr. Jones, we will have nothing to report! Mr. Jones, you can't stop us from publishing news like this."
The others all nodded their heads in agreement with Grace's statement.
However, Heinz's coldly gaze across the room and no one in the private room dares to speak anymore.
Grace said again, "If you think we're wrong and it doesn't conform to the facts, you can follow the legal procedure instead of taking her away in private."
"What if I insist?" Heinz looked at Grace expressionlessly.
Grace gasped and said steadily. "Then we will call the police."
"Who do you think you are?" Heinz asked sarcastically.
Grace was choked
Chen then said, "Mr. Jones, it's really a misunderstanding. Can you..."
"Take her away." Heinz interrupted Chen, "Lester."
"Yes!" The two bodyguards held Lilian and quickly left.
Grace panicked. She stepped forward and blocked Heinz's way. "Mr. Jones, This is kidnapping."
Heinz stared at her lips and suddenly bent down.
The smell of tobacco rushed into Grace's nose, and Grace was so scared that she leaned back.
Heinz got closer to Grace and his handsome face was right in front of her eyes.
Grace widened her eyes in horror.
Heinz stared into her eyes and whispered, "Grace, I don't mind kiss you again now." Grace panicked and took another step back.
This man was so horrible that everyone couldn't help but want to stay away from him.
After Grace retreated, everyone was afraid but also a little disappointed.
Grace knew what this man wanted.
Grace gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said in a low voice, "I know your purpose. I'm willing to replace Miss Ross. Take me away." "Take you away?" Heinz squinted at her and sneered, "Who do you think you are? Why should I do so?"
Grace was instantly rather embarrassed. She was a bit regretful.
"Since you are not involved with the news piece, I am going to take revenge on Lilian." Heinz whispered lightly, "Why do you think so highly of yourself?" His words made Grace unable to retort.
Heinz took a step back and looked around. No one tried to challenge him.
So he glanced at Grace silently and then
walked away.
