Spending a whole night to cool his head down and Grace's placatory words eventually showed their effect. By now, George's anger almost faded completely, so he went back home.

The moment he arrived, Grace rushed towards him and hugged him. "George, I thought you don't want me anymore."

"Silly girl." George smiled and caressed her hair. "Don't think too much."

Grace looked up and focused her big, bright eyes on him. "I understand. Don't worry. I won't bring up such an unrealistic idea in the future."

George nodded with satisfaction.

After Jean moved into Barton's house, she paid a close attention to him, but there was really nothing suspicious about him. He just went through his routine of going to work and coming home. After several days, she finally sighed in relief and put down her guard. Maybe she just thought too much.

"I..." Jean was rendered speechless by Peter's words. She took a deep breath to compose herself. "Mr. Huang, if my dad's really interested in Zoe, they would've dated long ago. Please pay attention to what you're saying. Don't accuse anyone of anything without concrete proof."

Peter sneered, "Yes, I have no proof. But I have eyes! I can see that your dad’s interested in Zoe. What would I make this kind of story up for?

I’ve been courting her wholeheartedly and treating her sincerely, but look at what I got in return! Miss Gu, as the matchmaker, shouldn't you take some responsibility for it?"

"Mr. Huang, I think you must've misunderstood me," Jean said coldly. "I harbored nothing but good intentions when I introduced Zoe to you. You should've at least known this."
