The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio) novel Chapter 30

Chapter30 

It was not the time to confront the truth, so Grace pretended like she had just stumbled upon it. Her voice sharp, she demanded, “What are you two doing?!” 

Antonio was shocked, almost immediately pulling away from Mylie. “Grace! I can explain!” 

His voice remained calm, though it trembled slightly. 

“This crazy woman suddenly barged in, saying she needed help.” 

At that moment, Antonio’s phone rang. 

With a grim face, he coldly spoke into the phone, “Hamish, this is your mess. I can’t clean it up for you! 

“I need you to explain to my wife right now. If she misunderstands me, you’re dead!” 

Antonio turned the phone on speaker. 

Hamish Pratt’s nervous voice came through. 

“Grace, are you there? 

“Sorry, Mylie is my girlfriend. She lives in your neighborhood. 

“She accidentally hurt herself tonight, so I told her to go to your place for the family doctor… 

“Grace, this is all my fault. I’ll come to apologize personally first thing tomorrow. Don’t get angry with Antonio. He has nothing to do with it.” 

Grace listened expressionlessly. 

She glanced at Mylie, whose lips were pursed with embarrassment. 

Finally, Grace fixed her eyes on Antonio’s pale face. 

This man was so devious. 

He’d even cooked up a story with Hamish in advance. 

Grace had to admit he was good. 

Antonio was an experienced businessman who could keep his composure even in the toughest negotiations, but now, he panicked for the first time. 

Beneath his calm disguise was a thumping heart. 

He secretly prayed to the heavens, and it seemed to have worked. 

His beloved wife simply said, “I see. If it’s just a 

misunderstanding, let’s call it a day.” Then, she turned back to her room. 

Antonio signaled for Mylie to leave immediately before rushing upstairs. 

“Grace, believe me. You’re the only woman I love. I would never betray you like that.
