Chapter 56
Grace Smith felt sour, but she did not say anything.
She really did not expect that Heinz Jones would come to Entertainment Daily, and would help her as soon as he came.
It was not that she could not avoid Lorenzo Chen's slap, but if he slapped her in the face, everyone would see through his real character.
However, she did not expect Heinz Jones to come.
She was a little overwhelmed, but the most important thing was that she felt stuffy. Indescribable emotions brewed in her heart.
Heinz Jones was not angry that she remained silent. He spoke in a gentle voice that everyone could hear, "Remember, when someone bullies you next time, give me a call and I will clean up the mess." Grace Smith pursed her lips and thought "Call him?11
He was not even related to her.
Heinz Jones raised his hand and reached out to Grace Smith.
Grace Smith was shocked and instantly stepped back,
but he did not allow it. His pair of big hands, overbearing and gentle, covered her head, smoothing out her messy bangs.
She looked into his eyes in surprise.
Heinz Jones smiled gently, looking elegant and noble. "Stand by my side and see clearly what his revenge would be."
His tone suddenly turned harshly, "Lester, the lesson you gave Director Chen last time seemed to be too soft. He can't remember it. This time, increase the intensity."
"Yes!" Lester replied in a deep voice, "Don't worry, president. I won't let you down again."
As he spoke, Lester approached Lorenzo Chen.
Lorenzo Chen was still traumatized by the thought of the last time he was beaten. When he saw Heinz Jones with his assistant again, his rebellious spirit was gone without trace.
"The employees are all still here. If I'm beaten now, how can I face them in the future?" Lorenzo Chen thought.
He did not dare show that he was timid, so he turned to Grace Smith for help. "Grace Smith, we can solve this in private, but you troubled Mr. Jones. Are you trying to make a big deal out of it?" "Pa-" A clear slap sounded on his face.
Everyone was terrified.
Grace Smith was also shocked. Lester only took back his hand when he saw a clear mark on Lorenzo Chen's face.
"Director Chen, if it's according to what you said, slapping you is no big deal for me."
Lorenzo Chen was at a loss for words.
The air froze, no one dared make a sound.
Lorenzo Chen did not even dare to breathe. He was shocked by the strong aura of Heinz Jones and his assistant.
"Mr. Jones, please forgive him. It's a misunderstanding." Lilian Ross quickly stepped forward, took Grace Smith's arm ingratiatingly and winked at her, hoping that she would put in a good word. Grace Smith assessed the situation. If she did not do Lilian Ross a favor, it would be very difficult for her to work in Entertainment Daily in the future. On the other hand, if she did, she would feel wronged. Lorenzo Chen was malicious. He wanted to use her, but his plan faced a backlash. He deserved punishment.
Grace Smith did not want to embarrass Lilian Ross, so she paused and deliberately whispered softly. "Lilian, I also think it's a misunderstanding. I'm worried about Director Chen's accident, but he misunderstood me and gave me a slap in the face. I'm defenseless. I really can't continue to work here after being slapped."
With this, she lowered her head and covered her face with both hands. She looked very weak and pitiful.
Heinz Jones was taken aback seeing her like this, his eyes twinkled. "Since when did this girl become frail?" She was usually not like this.
But Heinz Jones did not expose anything, but only looked at Grace Smith with his playful eyes. She knew how to show weakness and use tricks. She acted as if she was a weak target. Very good, Grace Smith. You're really an eye-opener.
When Lilian Ross heard Grace Smith's words, she was also taken aback and immediately said, "How about letting Director Chen apologize to you then forget about this matter?" Grace Smith's eyes sparkled. She gently nodded and said, "Well, I'm fine. I just don't know about Mr. Jones's opinion?"
As she spoke, she raised her head and her puppy eyes were directed towards Heinz Jones. Her watery eyes would definitely make men pity the moment they looked at her. Heinz Jones's eyes focused on her.
D*mn it, he really had a feeling for her. He wanted this woman badly.
She was very cunning. When he looked at her, he knew that she was taking advantage of him. She didn't want to let go of Lorenzo Chen easily, but she could not say it out aloud.
She was a smart woman.
Lilian Ross also quickly looked at Heinz Jones and pleaded, "Mr. Jones, Director Chen was so angry that he lost his mind. Grace Smith has agreed not to look into it. Please forgive us." Heinz Jones refused, "No one can bully my woman. If I let you off, my reputation in Northern City will be damaged."
Lilian Ross was stumped and looked at Heinz Jones in shock and embarrassment.
Heinz Jones gave Lester a look. Lester did not stand back anymore.
He raised his hand.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Lorenzo Chen's face shook back and forth several times. His face was covered with palm prints, which made him look more gruesome.
He did not even dare to cry out in pain.
He was beaten even harder thanks to crying out in pain last time.
He learnt his lesson and realized what a terrible mistake he made.
Thus, he endured the pain.
After slapping him, Lester lifted his foot and kicked Lorenzo Chen to the ground.
Lorenzo Chen made a muffled sound.
The scene frightened everyone present.
Lilian Ross's face turned pale with fear. She looked at Grace Smith for help and shook her arm.
Grace Smith was also shocked. She did not expect Heinz Jones to actually put it into action. Those hits were really brutal.
Lorenzo Chen felt as if his body was ripping apart. He hugged his stomach and sat on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
"Mr. Jones," Grace Smith quickly said.
Heinz Jones grabbed Grace Smith by the arm and pulled her to his side. He glanced at Lilian Ross unhappily and said, "No one will dare to stop me. Yet only this woman is pleading for you. Lorenzo Chen, do you deserve this love from Reporter Ross?"
The colour on their faces faded instantly. They had always kept their relationship a secret, not wanting their colleagues to know.
Everyone's eyes shifted to Lilian Ross and Director Chen at the same time.
Lilian Ross's face turned pale and she spoke in a trembling voice, "Mr. Jones, please spare him."
Heinz Jones gave a contemptuous smile and only said, "Lorenzo Chen."
Lorenzo Chen looked at Heinz Jones and pretended to be embarrassed and humble. "Mr. Jones, I know my mistake. Please show mercy and let me go this time. It won't happen again."
