Antonio looked around the empty villa, all decorated in the style Keyla liked. Even if he married Grace back then, he didn’t care about her preferences. It was the same as his home, with Grace’s things all gone. Without her, he felt they were not his home anymore.
He threw away anything related to Keyla and sold the villa as quickly as possible. He didn’t want to come back here again.
Antonio wanted to explain everything to Grace. However, in the blink of an eye, it was time for Laney to take the SAT. Over the past few months, no one helped her study or took care of her emotions and life. As a result, her grades plummeted. Not surprisingly, her SAT grades only allowed her to be admitted into some community colleges. Antonio planned to send her abroad so that at least she could still go to college.
Ever since they knew the truth, their feelings of guilt towards Grace had been growing. After Laney’s exam, they found Grace.
Meanwhile, Grace’s career was doing good, and her relationship with Shane was gradually warming up. She had never been in a serious relationship before, and they got to know and love each other after they were married.
“Grace.”
Just off work, Grace was blocked by Antonio and Lancy at the company entrance. She thought Antonio would never come to her again. Therefore, she was very surprised to see him come to her again with Lancy.
“Laney, you shouldn’t have come with your brother. I have no more relationship with you two.”
Her words made Laney burst into tears. She knew Grace must hate her, for she had wronged her so much and even worked with Keyla to drive her away.
“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I didn’t know about Keyla’s plot. I didn’t know my brother liked you…”
Grace smiled. She didn’t understand what Laney was saying, and she didn’t care.
“I accept your apology, but that’s it. I don’t want to know anything more. You two should leave now.”
Seeing more and more people were getting off work, Antonio pulled. Grace away, determined to explain everything to her today.
“Antonio, let go of me!”
Grace shook off his hand. She was afraid that if Shane saw this, he would get jealous again.
