Chapter 1434 TeasingChapter 1434 Teasing
Only by perpetually distancing oneself from everything here can it be truly considered an escape
from all that is now.
Grace's suggestion was met with no objections from Camille, but this matter needed to be dealt with
quickly. The current situation with the Armstrong family was no longer possible to keep under wraps,
so the next step would be to give the public an explanation.
Therefore, Vere had to be sent away before that, discreetly and quietly.
The time was set for that same evening.
noveldramaGrace and Camille personally went to the villa to see Vere, and they directly took Vere away from
Regina's residence.
To prevent anyone from tracking them, the two couldn't have come alone and were accompanied by
several bodyguards.
They took Vere to a hotel under the Simpson Group's management and Grace had a chat with Vere.
During this process, Camille exited the room without disturbing.
In the grand room, there were only Grace and Vere, facing each other, their gaze locked onto each
other without blinking.
Grace was actually a bit flustered by Vere's innocent gaze, unsure of how to begin the conversation.
On the other hand, Vere remained calm and composed, showing no signs of panic or surprise.Meeting Grace's eyes with his own pure gaze, Vere took the initiative to speak, "Grace, is there
something you want to tell me?"
This question caught Grace off guard.
Grace softly replied, "Yes, there are some things I want to discuss with you."
"Is it about my mother?" Vere asked directly.
Grace nodded slightly, not denying it. However, before she could speak, Vere's voice rang out.
"I already know everything about my mother's actions. Grace, I'm truly sorry. I didn't know my
mother had ruined Auntie's marriage and family. Apologies cannot make up for what has happened.
So, no matter what you and Cami decide to do, I have no complaints."
Grace didn't know how to respond to Vere's honesty and directness.
Vere's confession and understanding left Grace feeling extremely unsettled. She gazed at Vere, her
voice hoarse as she asked, "When did you find out?"
"That day when she left with you, and when you and Cami came back to sort out her clothes, I
already had a hunch. There were certain things she wouldn't delegate to others, especially in her
bedroom. Even I rarely entered it. Something important must have happened for her to instruct you
to come over. Plus, when news about the Armstrong family broke online, I made my guess."
Vere was a smart child. Despite Regina's wrongdoings, she loved and cared for her child deeply.
Grace was greatly affected by Vere's words. She looked at Vere and asked, "Have you thought
about what to do next?""Grace, whatever you want me to do, I'll do it. I understand the reason for our private conversation
today. Although you may not blame me, you certainly won't treat me as a brother, right?"
Vere's voice was low and his emotions were downcast. His face was filled with despair. Being in his
age group, his sensitive nature was more pronounced, but Grace didn't want to hurt him, so she
gently replied, "I don't think like that. They are them, and we are us. It's best for us juniors not to get
involved in adult matters. When we get involved, it can lead to deep entanglements. Do you
understand what I mean?"
Vere nodded slightly and said, "I understand. You can rest assured, I know."
Observing Vere, Grace also nodded and then said, "Vere, Cami and I discussed it. We believe it's
best for you to go abroad. Going abroad now is the most suitable option for your future and the
current situation. Develop overseas, don't come back. Although Hance City is our hometown, it
holds too many hardships and past events. Those events are not worth commemorating. It's better
to distance yourself, never have any ties or relationships again."
Grace's words were serious, each word emphasizing her determination. She truly didn't want Vere
to return. In terms of the relationship between her and Vere, even though she had just said not to
involve children in adult matters to console Vere, she understood it very well. Not involving also
meant cutting off contact forever.
Because once there is contact, there is natural involvement, and then memories of the past will
inevitably resurface. If one thing leads to another, how can anyone truly forget?
After Grace finished speaking, she took a deep breath, her face showing great seriousness. She
told Vere, "This ending is the best for both of us. Only this way can we maintain conversations and
situations like this forever."Vere's face grew even darker. His expression tensed up, and he spoke softly, "Is Grace intending to
cut off all contact with me forever?"
Grace replied, "It's not about cutting off contact, it's about maintaining distance and a sense of
detachment. Only then will we not truly fall out. Do you want to become lifelong enemies with me,
Vere?"
Grace smiled slightly, a touch of teasing in her expression. Her mood wasn't very pleasant,
considering the courage it took to say such words, especially when facing a teenager. One wrong
word could cause significant discomfort.
"I simply mentioned maintaining a distance. If you ever encounter any problems, you can contact
me anytime, anywhere, and I will definitely help you. Vere, you are a boy, you need to grow," Grace
said, expressing her gentle nature. Her words lacked any hostility, making the conversation easier
to accept.
This conversation lasted a while. Suddenly, Vere stood up, surprising even Grace, who thought Vere
might storm off due to not accepting what was said. But to everyone's surprise, Vere deeply bowed
to Grace, earnestly saying, "Grace, I'm sorry."
