Chapter 40
The photo of Grace and Antonio embracing spread like a virus on the internet.
Various unsightly comments filled every corner of the
internet.
Labels such as “fickle” and “playing both sides” were mercilessly stuck onto Grace.
Zackery lightly tapped the table.
“Strangely, many popular celebrities started paying attention to this matter.”
Some vehemently condemn this “unethical” behavior.
Some subtly hinted at Grace’s character flaws.
With the increasing involvement of more public figures, the incident quickly escalated, and Grace instantly found herself in a dire situation where everyone was calling for her downfall.
Grace used to be a moderately popular food and baking blogger, but now, when she opens her social media apps, her private messages are filled with insults and curses.
The coffee in her hand had already turned cold, but Grace still hadn’t snapped out of it.
“Grace, our people have already caused a hot search, but it will soon subside.”

Grace sighed.

“It was me being too foolish, not avoiding Antonio. He said he had stomach cancer, and I actually believed it.”
Zackery remained silent for a while.
“Gastric cancer is real, and he was diagnosed in our hospital, but this is his privacy.”
Grace fell silent.
Zackery comforted Grace.
“Don’t be afraid, we have nothing to fear as long as we are upright.”
Grace pursed her lips, she wasn’t afraid of public opinion, but she found it strange.
Evelyn’s incident had already occurred once before, and based on her knowledge of Antonio, such a crude method would not happen again for a second time.
Why exactly?
A document was placed on both Antonio and Zackery’s desks simultaneously.
The mastermind behind this matter was not difficult to uncover – actress Courtney Lloyd.
Courtney had a high position in the entertainment industry, with excellent acting skills. Most importantly, she cherished her reputation and had virtually no negative news.
Zackery tightened his grip on the documents.

This woman had no intersection with Grace, why did she want to harm her?
At the same time, Antonio suddenly coughed and spat out a large pool of blood.
“Mr. Kaufman, there is a Miss Lloyd who would like to see you.”
Antonio’s assistant knocked on the door gently.
Antonio wiped away the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, restoring his former indifference.
Courtney walked in, her features soft and her whole being resembling a pristine white flower.
Antonio stared at her, his eyes dark and unclear.
“Reason?”
Courtney smiled, appearing even more gentle.
“Mr. Kaufman, I just wanted to help you seek revenge.”
Antonio furrowed his brow.
“Help me seek revenge, what are you, promise me you’ll help me?”
In Courtney’s eyes, there was nostalgia and sadness.
“Mr. Kaufman, people often forget favors, but six years ago, in Paradise Club, you saved me…”
Antonio carefully examined and finally recognized the familiar face on her.

Six years ago, Paradise Club.

At that time, Courtney was still a novice actor, being deceived by the director to accompany drinks.
The scene was filled with clinking glasses and mingling voices, as sinful hands lingered between the girl’s skirt and thighs. The table was adorned with a lavish spread of dishes, but everyone knew what the true “dish” on the field was.
After three rounds of drinking, Courtney was tightly held by death. Her tears rolled down, but everyone seemed to be enjoying the show.
Until…
A bony hand pulled her up.
Antonio was young and reckless, kicking that man who took advantage of her with one foot, her voice cold and noble.
“Didn’t you see that she didn’t want to?”
“I want you to see the consequences when the truth is revealed.”
These people remained silent, but Courtney secretly developed feelings for this benefactor.
But Antonio had already married Grace at that time, which buried Courtney’s love deep in her heart and gradually twisted into an obsession.
She saw Antonio in unbearable pain because of Grace’s engagement, and then learned that Antonio had stomach
cancer.
