Chapter28
“What?”
Antonio stared at Grace, a hint of nervousness flashing across his eyes.
Grace pretended like she hadn’t noticed anything off and continued, “You don’t remember her? One of the students we sponsored.
“She’s made her way into the entertainment industry and is doing quite well.”
This was what disgusted Grace the most.
Mylie was one of the students they had sponsored years ago.
And now that ungrateful bitch was repaying her by stealing her man.
Antonio froze but then regained his usual calm composure.
With an indifferent glance at the billboard, he said, “I don’t remember her. It’s not like she’s important.”
Then, his gaze shifted back to Grace, regaining its affection.
Grace sneered secretly.
If she hadn’t known better, she would’ve been fooled by his intense gaze once again.
Antonio had that kind of power.
When he looked at a woman with such focus, she would get lost in his smoking eyes and be convinced that he loved her deeply.
Not to mention he was so indifferent to everyone else, yet so passionate only with her.
In the end, Grace forced a smile and said nothing.
Antonio observed every little shift in Grace’s expression.
She looked a bit tired, but nothing more. Finally, he sighed in silent relief.
After a while, Antonio distractedly fiddled with his phone, a faint smile on his lips.
He didn’t notice that Grace was looking at the same page on her phone.
It was a post on social media from Mylie. “The pet misses her master.”
The picture showed a pure white Samoyed.
Thirty minutes later, the car stopped in front of their house.
Antonio kissed Grace on the cheek, saying, “Rest at home. I need to go to the office for a bit, but I’ll be back soon.”
Grace nodded without saying anything.
As soon as his car left, Grace followed.
The Maybach pulled up at another villa in the same neighborhood.
Mylie had been waiting there, dressed in a seductive fox costume.
Around her neck was a striking collar.
She was overjoyed. “Master, you’re finally here! Mylie’s been waiting for you patiently.”
Antonio said in a husky voice, his eyes glinting with desire, “Uh–huh, that’s my girl.”
With that, he lifted her effortlessly into his arms.
A mixture of rage and sadness rose in her throat, and Grace couldn’t help but sob.
Soon, the livestream ended.
The next moment, Mylie was pressed against the thin curtain of the second–floor window of the villa.
The passionate scene cut through Grace’s already broken heart.
She stared with wide eyes, trembling.
She wished she could die at that very moment.
Grace forced herself to return home and submerged herself in the bathtub.
The water gradually turned cold, but she didn’t notice.
Half an hour later, she finally got out.
Without hesitation, Grace called a charity organization and donated the pocket watch and all the jewelry Antonio had given her.
She couldn’t leave yet.
But she could start by getting rid of his things one by one!
The next day, Antonio rushed back, looking hurt and nervous.
“Grace, did I do something wrong? Why did you throw away the pocket watch?!”
