Chapter 19 Grace Is Back
They engaged in a light–hearted, joking quarrel before Ethan shared what had happened recently.
Alyssa was dumbfounded. A bionic robot crafted in her likeness? What on earth was wrong with Antonio?
“He’s simply a pervert.”
Ethan smiled and comforted, “Don’t worry. He has been sent to a mental hospital. You can go home without worry.”
After that movie was released, Alyssa shot to fame. Domestic directors were constantly extending invitations to her, and the schedule for her return home had already been set up.
Ethan got up early and went to the airport to pick up Alyssa.
Alyssa bounded towards Ethan like a joyous bird and leaped right into his
arms.
Overjoyed to see her back, Ethan immediately lifted Alyssa off her feet. The scene of them together instantly made the headlines in Edgecoast.
In the CEO’s office of the Kaufman Group.
Tyrell was so irritated that he smashed the cup violently.
He knew Ethan and Antonio had clashed due to a variety show. Seizing the opportunity, he took the initiative to deal with Antonio, hoping to ingratiate himself with the Dawson family.
However, Tyrell never anticipated that Ethan, as crafty as a fox, not only

declined to cooperate with the Kaufman Group but also poached his business partner!
While Tyrell was in a state of extreme agitation, Ethan was completely at ease, even going to the airport to pick up his girl.
But Tyrell noticed something. He muttered to himself, “Hold on, why does this woman look so much like Grace?”
Tyrell promptly picked up his mobile phone and examined the photos closely. He found that apart from having a different name from Grace, Alyssa’s figure, appearance, and even the mole at the corner of her eye were all identical.
“How could there be two people who look so alike?
“She must be Grace!”
Tyrell immediately instructed his secretary to gather information on Alyssa. The moment he saw the word “twins“, he burst into laughter.
He couldn’t care less about whether Antonio lived or died. But he was the sort of person who always made others pay for their missteps. Since Ethan had made use of him, he would reciprocate in kind.
Antonio was so crazy that he wanted to go to Taunland to search for Grace. Tyrell wondered if he were to find out that “Grace” had come back home, would he dash out of the mental hospital in excitement right away?
In the Dawson’s Villa.

Paisley, wearing a pair of presbyopic glasses, held Alyssa’s hand as they looked at black–and–white photos.
“Look, this is your grandma and me. Aren’t we lovely?” she said.
“My greatest wish in this life was to bring you into the Dawson family

and dote on you like my own granddaughter. I thought it would never come true. Thankfully, this young fellow here did a great job. Ever since he was a child, he…”
Ethan walked over with a plate of fruits. “Ahem, what are you saying? Give me a little bit of dignity here.
The three of them were chatting and laughing merrily when, all of a sudden, Rory walked in.
Ethan signaled for him to speak directly.
Rory opened his mouth, then hesitated. “Mr. Dawson, there’s news from the mental hospital. He’s escaped.”
Even though Rory didn’t specify who “he” was, Alyssa immediately understood.
She looked at Ethan and asked. “Will he come here?”
Ethan instinctively reached out, pulling her protectively into his embrace.
“As long as you don’t wish to see him, I’ll ensure he never sets foot anywhere near you,” he said firmly.
A hint of iciness flickered in Ethan’s eyes, a detail that escaped Alyssa’s
notice.
Ethan thought, “Antonio was almost crazy. Without someone’s help, he wouldn’t have managed to escape from the mental hospital, let alone regain his sanity.
“Tyrell is truly despicable.
“But it’s fine. Once Kelly, who was left behind in Atkina, returns, the Kaufman Group will go bankrupt.

“As I said, I wouldn’t let anyone that bullied Alyssa go!”
Alyssa snuggled deeper into Ethan’s embrace.
In fact, she had nothing more to say to Antonio. Their love had been genuine once, but she also had undeniably brought profits to the Kaufman Group.
Now that she was living a good life, she had no desire to have any further contact with Antonio.
Antonio had cheated on her so many times. He would never earn her forgiveness for the rest of his life.
Paisley observed their affectionate demeanor and nodded with
contentment. She even started pondering over the name of their future child.
The Dawson’s house was filled with harmony, while the Kaufman’s house was steeped in a desolate bleakness.
After Rena got divorced, she was evicted from the grand villa and had to move into a run–down, shabby small villa.
The moment Antonio regained his rationality, the first thing he did was return home. He tidied himself up and gathered all the valuable items, packing them up.
It was said that Grace had come home and that she was in Edgecoast now. So he would go to see her.
Even though he had seen the ashes and the suicide note with his own eyes, he simply couldn’t believe that Grace was truly gone.
So, over the past years, he had remained chaste, never getting close to another woman. Whenever the pangs of missing her became
overwhelming, he resorted to the bionic robot for solace.
