Chapter 202
"Indeed, that kind of people deserves a good beating." Seeing her being utterly irritated, Jensen Charm
could only say words that were pleasing to her ears. He just felt that a young girl would be at a
disadvantage if she were so aggressive and rash.
Alice Smith pursed her lips and was not satisfied with his echo.
Jensen kindly reminded her, "However, Miss Smith, you should understand that while you were indeed
protecting yourself from those thugs, you should do it without causing yourself any unnecessary
trouble."
Alice frowned and said, "I wanted to but things are just unfair, and I can't believe that you even wanted
me to pay for that scum's medical fee. What kind of nonsense is this? Are you a policeman or not? Do
you know what justice is?"
Seeing that she seemed to be inexplicably defensive and hostile to him, Jensen said, "Miss Smith, you
don't have to be hostile to me. It was my fault just now."
A gleam flashed across Alice's eyes. She was not satisfied with Jensen's explanation.
"I do believe that those hooligans really harassed you and therefore you defended yourself. However,
righteousness is relative. The law is fair because it considers all possible factors before coming to a
conclusion," Jensen said.
"What?" Alice frowned even more tightly.
"Some people may do whatever they want in the name of self-defense," Jensen said.
Alice was speechless.
She couldn't refute, because she understood instantly upon Jensen's explanation.
The law was based on the interests of the majority, and everything had two sides.
She was defending herself today. However, if the person was badly injured, perhaps she might have
really overreacted.
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Jensen said, "Come with me. Let's go to my office and wait for a
while. Things might not be as bad as they seem."
Alice frowned and hesitated.
Jensen said again, "I won't spar with you again, so please rest assured."
He was being a gentleman this time.
Alice nodded. "Alright, I'll trust you for the time being."
With this, she followed him to his office.
On the other hand, Heinz Jones, who was waiting outside, received a call from Jensen and knew that
there might be a problem.
He sat in the car, and asked Lester to drop by the hospital. Then, he called Grace Smith himself.
It was half-past five in the evening.
As soon as Grace arrived at the gate of the kindergarten, she suddenly received a phone call from
Heinz.
She glanced at the phone number and found that it was from Heinz, so she did not answer the call.
After the first missed call, Heinz called again.
The phone rang three times.
Grace did not answer any of them.
So Heinz sent a message to Grace saying, " Your sister is in the police station now and Jensen is in
charge of the matter."
As soon as Grace saw the message, her eyes widened in an instant. She looked at her mobile phone
and thought that she had read it wrongly. She looked at it again.
Grace immediately called Alice.
As soon as Alice saw Grace's phone call, she felt guilty in her heart. She was afraid that she would
trouble her sister, so she wanted to deal with it herself. She refused to answer the phone and replied
with a quick message—
"Sister, it's not convenient for me to pick up the call now," Alice wrote.
When Grace saw that the call was not connected and read her message, she suddenly became
anxious.
Heinz made a few calls and sent several messages to Grace but she did not respond to any of them.
He was so annoyed that his brows were twisted into a knot. "How could this woman not answer my
call? Doesn't she care about her sister anymore?" Heinz thought.
While he was angry, the phone rang.
He immediately picked his phone up. When he saw that the caller was Grace, he wanted to answer the
call immediately, but then he sat up straight and paused for a while. Only then he picked it up and
asked very smugly, "It's really hard to get to you."
"What's wrong with my sister?" Grace ignored his words and directly asked, "How do you know that my
sister is in the police station?"
Heinz sneered and said, "It is that surprising that I know your sister? Your sister is not the president of
the country. What's wrong with knowing her?"
"I'm asking you what's wrong with my sister?" Grace did not get an answer and yelled suddenly as she
was very worried. "Heinz, answer my question. Don't tell me anything that is not relevant."
"What's with this attitude of yours?" Heinz said in a cold voice, "I'm so angry at you right now."
"Why aren't you dead of anger yet?" Grace retorted in a cold voice.
"Shut up," Heinz ordered.
"Heinz, isn't it too much to threaten me with my sister?" Grace yelled.
"I'm threatening you?" Heinz said coldly, "Your younger sister has a bad temper. She fought with others
and was brought to the police station. She even caused internal injuries to one of the men and the man
is in the hospital now. Your sister is still in the police station."
Grace was stunned for a moment. "How could that be possible? My younger sister is very obedient and
sensible. How could she have caused internal injuries to others?"
"Do you think your younger sister is sensible and obedient?" Heinz sneered and said sarcastically,
"Which younger sister are you talking about?"
"Alice Smith. I only have one younger sister, Alice," Grace said sternly.
"Your younger sister is not a person who knows how to behave herself. Is there anything strange about
her being in the police station?" Heinz asked.
Heinz was frustrated at the thought of the little girl calling him a "coward".
Very, very frustrated.
Since when did he become a coward?
"Even if my sister did it, that man must have hurt her first. I don't believe that my sister would do it for
no reason," Grace said firmly.
"You sisters really do care for each other." Heinz said sarcastically, "No matter what the reason is, if
you have a bad temper and beat someone, you have to pay the price."
Grace frowned angrily, but she still said patiently, "Heinz, why are you there?"
"I'm being a busybody. Are you satisfied?" Heinz said grumpily.
"Indeed, you do have a bad habit of poking your nose into other people's business," Grace said sulkily
and hung up the phone.
She looked at her watch and found that it was time to pick up Little Gary. However, she was worried
that Little Gary would meet Heinz if she brought the child to the police station.
She also couldn't show Little Gary to Heinz in such a rash way.
After hesitating for a while, Grace went in to pick up Little Gary and said directly to him, "Little Gary, I'll
take you to the child care center in our community. You can play there for two hours and I'll go to pick
up your Little Aunt, okay?"
"Can't you take me along?" Little Gary looked at his mother.
Grace felt guilty under his gaze. She dodged his stare and said, "I'll tell you when I get back. There's
some trouble going on."
"Does it have anything to do with Heinz Jones?" Little Gary asked.
Hearing her son's question, Grace fell silent in an instant.
She pursed her lips and didn't know how to answer her observant son.
"Okay, I'll go to the child care center." Gary Smith cooperated obediently. "Mommy, don't worry."
Grace felt so sorry all of a sudden. She reached out to hold her son's hand and pulled him forward.
"Son, I..."
She didn't know what to say.
"Mommy, I understand everything," Gary comforted her instead. "Go ahead. I know it's not the right
time now. I can wait patiently."
Grace's eyes were red-rimmed. She looked at her son and nodded. "Thank you."All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
