Chapter15 That night , Antonio came to me .
I thought he wanted to learn more about the truth from me , since he realized that Celia had been lying to him ..
But I was wrong .
He said .
Grace , Celia is innocent .
Will you drop the case ? I couldnt help but laugh .
I was impressed .
Antonio still trusted her after all that had happened .
But , all of a sudden , I felt bad when I saw him looking so haggard .
After the Kaufman Group survived from going bankrupt , Antonio was never in a low spirit again .
At least , that was what I had remembered of him .
I rubbed the straw ring in my pocket and changed the topic .
When did it start ? I mean you and her .
There was a trace of guilt on his face .
Then , he subconsciously denied it .
I knew he would deny it .

So , I showed him the footage of them kissing from a few years ago .
His face changed color as he saw it .
Grace , I can explain it .
Its not like what you think … I took out the straw ring from my pocket , deadpan .
I grabbed his hand and placed that small ring on his palm .
? While the Kaufmans through their darkest days , countless wwere poi 150 Chapter15 13 debt collectors were after them .
Antonio was just a kid at the time , but he was not spared .
? Debt collectors would block the door of his rental home .
They would .
frighten him and force him to tell them where his parents were .
After he managed to get away from them , I was the first person he would come to .
He cried and said .
Grace , my family is broke now .
I cant provide you with a good life after we grow up …… As he cried , he put this straw ring on my ring finger .
I made this ring on my way here .
Keep it , as if we were already married , OK ? Will you not forget about me ? He was incoherent , but I could feel he really didnt want to leave me .
After he cried , he turned around and was about to run away .
But he rushed back again .
No ! No ! If my family gets rich again , youll come back to me , will you ? At that time , if you dont wanna marry me anymore , you can return this ring to me .
I will let you go , even if it will hurt me ! I was only a kid at the time , but somehow I wanted to be with Antonio to my last breath , But when things got to this point , I was pretty sure I had let go of Antonio .
I was in love with him for years , so it wasnt easy for me to simply walk away .
Until the day of his wedding , I still held out the last shred of hope for our relationship .
Chapter15 But now , I knew that I wanted to be done with him , once and for all .
Antonio bowed his head and stared at that ring .
He also remembered his promise to me as a kid .
His eyes went round , his lips shivering .
Tears trickled down his thin jaw and splashed onto the shabby straw ring .
? He quickly wiped the tears from it and nervously clutched my hands , looking like a little boy afraid of being abandoned .
He looked at me and begged , Grace , will you forgive me this time ? I swear I will stop seeing Celia from now on ! I raised my hand and slowly wiped the remaining tears from his face .
My mom was so good to you .
She was kinder to you than she was to me .
Before she died , her last wish was to see us finally get married .
But how did you pay her back ? You say that those are old grudges from our fathers generation and that what I have heard and seen is not true ! Well , then tell me , what is the truth ? You knew Celias mom was my Dads mistress , but you slept with her anyway .
The things you promised me , you gave them to Celia without a second thought .
Yet , you called me vicious and bullying a dying person ! After I poured all those words out , all I could see from his face was gu guilt and remorse .
He bowed his head and contemplated for a while .
Then , he raised his eyelids and said to me softly , Ive checked it .
Celia had some problems with a friend from college , so the police took her in for a few questions .
Chapter15 She is innocent .
I know you want to confront someone , but your mom and Celias mom are both gone .
Cant you just forgive and forget ? I stared into his face , hoping to see what he was thinking .
After all the work my mom put into him , he turned out to be such a douchebag ! Fury blinded me .
I couldnt control myself anymore and slapped him hard .
? He looked haggard again and caught my hand to slap his face .
Grace , sorry for my poor wording .
I just want you to be happy .
If this can make you feel better , you can slap me as much as you want ! His words turned my stomach .
? I jerked my hand from his grasp .
I shouted in rage , Antonio , youre like a piece of trash to me now .
And I dont collect trash ! From the day you cheated on me with Celia , you should have known that its over between us ! ? But he did not want to give me up .
He tried to say more to me , but his phone rang .
It was loud , and I could hear Celias crying voice through his phone .
Antonio , the police let me go .
Im outside the station now .
Im so scared .
Will you come pick me up ?
