Chapter 16 Antonio instinctively glanced at me , and his eyes showed a flicker of hesitation .
But it only lasted a few seconds before he said with confidence , Grace , I told you that Celia is innocent .
If she were guilty , the police wouldnt have let her go , right ? Besides , shes your half sister , and were going to be a family .
Ill go and bring her back .
I wanted to make things difficult for Antonio , so I didnt want him to leave so easily .
I called out to him , Didnt you say that if I forgave you , you would never have anything to do with Celia ? My dad will pick her up .
But if you dare to leave now , Ill never forgive you ! Antonio stopped in his tracks , but he kept his back to me .
His voice sounded tired .
Celia really needs me now .
I promise this is the last time .
Once this whole thing is sorted out , Ill be all set to propose to you .
After saying that , Antonio hurried towards the door .
As he walked , he suddenly started running .
Along the way , he accidentally bumped into a sharp decoration and got cut , but he didnt seem to care at all .
I stood there , stunned , watching his figure disappear into the distance .
Without thinking , I raised my hand to touch my face , and it was wet with 15221 17 tears .
All of this used to be mine ! His loss of composure , his madness , his gentleness , and his complete love all of it was once meant for me .

How did the guy who used to run just to see me end up like this ? Janets call came quickly , and her angry voice was all over the phone .
Your dad really went all out ! Those pieces of evidence could have done .
in that hussy Celia , but he took the blame himself ! I felt a chill run through me .
I never thought Melvin , who had always been so selfish , would go to such lengths for Celia ! Without time to think more about it , I hung up and hurried to the police station .
I asked to see Melvin , and he didnt say no .
He had looked so lively at the wedding earlier today , but now he seemed to have aged a lot in just a few hours .
Grace , youre here .
Would you please do something for me ? I didnt say yes or no but just kept staring at him .
Seeing that I wasnt talking , Melvin went on , I messed up back then , and I let you and your mom down .
But Celia is innocent .
Ill tell the police everything I did , including what happened to your mom .
My nose twitched , and my heart was being torn apart by all this anger as I glared at Melvin .
Chapter 16 So , you killed my mom ! You bastard ! My mom was with you for all those years and never did anything to hurt you ! She even agreed to the divorce .
Why couldnt you just let her go ? Melvin hung his head , looking heartbroken .
After a long while , he finally spoke again , Im asking you for one thing , let Celia go .
Shes the only family you have left in this world .
Then , he refused to say another word and hastily ended the meeting .
I was so furious I could have ripped him to pieces , but my reason was telling me to stay cool .
I knew deep down that Melvin didnt think he was wrong at all .
He took the police to the spot where the girls body was dumped and took all the blame onto himself .
Janet told me that Celia wasnt doing well mentally , so Antonio bought a manor for her to recover in .
I asked Janet to let them keep seeing each other .
She was upset about it .
but in the end , she agreed .
Before the court made its decision , Melvin killed himself .
He had quite a few shady businesses , and behind these illegal operations , there were numerous people involved .
From the moment he got arrested , those so called partners were all scared that he would rat them out .
Melvin knew all of this , so he picked a day with good weather and smashed his head into the wall .
The police called the family to come and identify the body , but I didnt show up .
Chapter Antonio went with Celia instead .
