Chapter 10 The Aftermath
Antonio realized he could have saved Grace. Grace had been giving him chances until the end.
However, Antonio ruined Grace’s chance of living again and again as he lied to her repeatedly to cover up his affair.
Antonio believed Grace wanted to forgive him. He just missed the chance as he couldn’t resist Roxie.
Although he felt guilty toward Grace, he was attracted by Roxie.
Holding the urn close to him, Antonio was ridden with remorse, dead.
his eyes
He fell to his knees. His expensive suit was wrinkled. Tears of regret dampened Grace’s suicide note. Antonio hurriedly wiped the letter and only managed to smudge it.
He thought, “Grace abandoned me. I don’t have a home anymore.”
Antonio had knelt on the ground until the funeral car left. He clung to the urn as if it was the most valuable thing in his life.
Grace must be completely hopeless to choose to end her life. Antonio didn’t dare to imagine how desperate Grace was at that moment.
The guests all shook their heads and mourned.
Grace and Antonio were the golden couple in Edgecoast. What happened? Why could Grace kill herself to leave Antonio?
They didn’t know the truth and assumed Grace killed herself as she

couldn’t handle her heavy workload and Antonio couldn’t be there for her because of his busy work.
Some people who were in the dark even tutted, thinking Grace took an easy way out.
Antonio looked like he had been drained of strength as he knelt on the ground. No one dared to approach him.
A ring of his phone interrupted the scene.
“Mr. Kaufman, I’m feeling so hot. I think I’m having a fever. Come over to take care of me.”
Roxie didn’t know what happened in the mansion. But she planned to make Antonio leave Grace behind on this special day. It’d be the final. blow to Grace.
Roxie then took several pretentious photos. The outfit she wore was her secret weapon. She bet Antonio would be horny with just one glance at her photos.
As Antonio opened his car door, Roxie was already in a pose. The outfit. had outlined her figure, making her look even sexier.
“Mr. Kaufman…”
Roxie thought wrong. Antonio wasn’t horny. No, he was fuming.
Antonio gripped Roxie’s neck in a tight grip and dragged her to her knees before giving her a hard kick.
“It’s your fault. She left because of you!” Antonio’s eyes turned red.
If Roxic hadn’t provoked Grace repeatedly, Grace’s depression wouldn’t return and she wouldn’t kill herself.

Chapter 10 The Aermath
Roxie pushed down the pain and gave Antonio a confused look. “Antonio. W–What’s going on?”
Roxie wondered who left.
Could it be Grace? Was Grace finally leaving Antonio?
Roxie was overjoyed and didn’t care why Antonio was so angry. She hurriedly crawled to Antonio’s feet.
“Antonio, I love you! I love you so much! Grace left you. But I’ll be with you!”
What a pleasant surprise. Roxie even thought of a name for the child she was carrying at that moment.
Finally, she could replace Grace. She was going to be rich now.
Antonio stared at Roxie and saw a greedy and hideous woman. He couldn’t imagine that she was the same woman who would be too shy to even touch him.
He wondered why he would link Roxie to Grace in the first place.
Guilt washed over Antonio. Without a word, he took out a dagger from the backseat and stabbed Roxie in the arm.
“Grace is dead. You should die with her!”
“Antonio! Why do you blame me? I didn’t kill her!”
Grace had no right to be Mrs. Kaufman as she couldn’t even control her man. Grace could only blame her unluckiness.
Enduring the sharp pain in her arm, Roxie knelt on the ground pitifully and begged.

“Antonio, you still have me.” Roxie wrapped her arms around her flat belly tightly to protect her baby. “I’m carrying your child. We’re having a baby together! Grace couldn’t give you one. So, I’m giving you one!”
Her words only made Antonio more angry.
“If you didn’t provoke Grace again and again, she’d never kill herself! It’s all your fault!”
Acting like a sociopath, Antonio wiped the dagger clean with his sleeve before stabbing Roxie in the stomach.
“I have a vasectomy. There’s no way you can have my baby. I shall kill you. for Grace!”
Antonio stabbed hard, but before he could pull the dagger out, he was knocked out by Kelly’s bodyguard.
Rena had rushed over. When she saw the pool of blood, she sighed, “How did it get to this point?
“Kelly, are you sure that Roxie is carrying Antonio’s child?”
Kelly was shell–shocked too. “Mom, I consulted a doctor. It’s possible for a man to impregnate a woman after a vasectomy.”
Hearing this, Roxie relaxed and passed out.
Antonio woke up in a VIP room in the hospital and was immediately scolded by Rena.

“What’s so special about Grace? She can’t even bear children! Roxic is pregnant. Stop this ruckus right away!
“You’ve signed the divorce paper anyway. Marry Roxie next month. The Kaufman family needs an heir.”
