Chapter 11
“Mr. Kaufman, there was still no news about Mrs. Kaufman.”
The assistant’s voice was inevitably timid, and it had been a whole month, with no trace of either the living or the dead.
Antonio lifted his head, his eyes bloodshot.
“Why not continue searching? What are you doing here?”
The assistant left promptly in response.
Antonio slumped to the ground, feeling overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness.
The thought of his wife possibly being dead almost suffocated him.
No, no, the body had not been found yet. He was only worried about whether his Grace was cold, hungry, or being bullied.
It has been nearly two months, and there is still no news.
Every place that Grace could have possibly gone to was searched, and every friend who might have known her whereabouts was questioned, but nothing was ever found.
Antonio’s spirit gradually crumbled, and repeated disappointments left him on the brink of despair.
He no longer attended to his business, spent his days drinking heavily, and often sat staring at the family portrait in the villa.

He muttered to himself, “Where are you, you won’t die, you won’t…”
A tear slid down from the corner of the eye.
“Grace, don’t you really want me anymore?”
The shareholders, increasingly dissatisfied, sent a message to Antonio’s retired father. Antonio’s parents hurriedly returned from Dormere.
As soon as Jacob Kaufman entered the door, he gave Antonio a hard slap in the face.
“What a waste, what does it look like!”
“You have disgraced the Kaufman family.”
Antonio was deeply affectionate, but there was an icy coldness in his heart.
Father had only expectations for him, never care. Since childhood, he was like a puppet on a string, only able to mechanically learn various knowledge and learn how to be a qualified heir.
And now, he has also lost the person he loved the most.
Antonio’s mother, Miley, couldn’t help but speak up as tears slid down her face.
“Antonio, Grace has already died, are you going to keep sinking into depression for her?”
“You had your responsibilities, and besides, didn’t Yesenia also have a child? In my opinion, it’s all the same.”

Chapter 11
“You grew up together since childhood, and she even saved your life.”
She was already dissatisfied with Grace as her daughter–in- law. Not only was Grace from a poor background, but she also only gave birth to a useless daughter.
In her opinion, Yesenia grew up under her watchful eyes. If it weren’t for Grace, a scheming woman, taking advantage of the opportunity to go abroad, Yesenia and her son would have been destined for a perfect match.
Antonio lifted his head, but his gaze was filled with silence.
“Grace did not die, I don’t believe she died.”
As for Yesenia, I only treated her like a sister. I would not marry her, nor did I love her.
“She hurt Grace and killed Talia, I didn’t retaliate against her, that was already my repayment to her.”
Miley was taken aback, furrowing her brows in confusion.
“What kind of love potion did she give you that made you so infatuated?”
Antonio chuckled self–deprecatingly.
There was once a sincere love, once he had a happy family, with a beloved wife and daughter.
The warmth that the Kaufman family did not have, Grace gave to him, but all of this was also destroyed by him with his own hands.
He lowered his head and stopped speaking, concealing the

regret and despair in his eyes.
The anger on Jacob’s face could no longer be suppressed.
“Alright then, don’t be the president anymore. Just continue being this pathetic.”
Miley gently tugged on Jacob’s sleeve and whispered words of comfort.
“My son just couldn’t see it at the time, but the company’s performance had multiplied several times over the past few years…”
The sound in the background faded away, but Antonio couldn’t help but laugh at himself.
My biological parents, they only used me for their own benefit.
Antonio remained motionless, immersed in alcohol and longing, as his parents departed.
His body became weaker and weaker, and his mind became more and more confused.
In the darkness, Antonio concealed a tear.
Grace, were you waiting for me somewhere?
