Chapter 20 Antonio’s Nonsense
Dowry?
Antonio exerted great force and pushed the entire box of jewelry, causing it to tumble to the ground and scatter in all directions.
Among the items were Grace’s favorite Tahiti black pearls and opal pins…
It reminded Antonio of the first public relations crisis he faced after taking office. At that time, due to his high–intensity work, he had a car accident. It was Grace who, while guarding him, held a press conference in the name of Mrs. Kaufman to save the situation.
Antonio’s friends were all envious of him, telling him that he had married a wonderful girl and advising him to cherish her.
In response, he immediately collected countless rare treasures and presented them to Grace, yet she only selected two.
She said that the Tahiti black pearls were rare and the opal brooch was a treasure, just like their hard–won relationship.
At that moment, he made up his mind that he would never let her endure any more hardships. He was so determined that he even underwent a vasectomy for her.
But what had he done in reality?
Roxie’s repeated seductions sent his mind into a frenzy. He regained a long–lost passion in bed, and all his business–related troubles could be released there.
This indulgence was like a venom, gradually luring him into addiction.

He even naively thought that he had merely made a mistake that all men were prone to. In comparison to those playboys who changed partners frequently, he had slept with only one other woman.
Furthermore, Roxie seemed meek and honest, and Grace had once helped her. Thus, he was convinced that Roxie would never disclose their affair
to Grace.
However, he was sorely deceived. The seemingly humble Roxie was in fact an insatiable woman.
Grace hated Antonio’s infidelity and insisted on divorcing him.
Without letting him know, Roxie had sex with someone else for more profit.
Antonio lost his beloved wife and got himself into trouble.
More ridiculously, his mother and sister ignored the facts and made things worse. They even cursed Grace.
“I’m not crazy! I won’t let you hurt her again.
“Grace is just angry. She loves me so much. As long as I comfort her, she will forgive me.”
Antonio muttered, yet, he somehow was not confident at all as he spoke those words.
Rena’s eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing this.
“Antonio! Stop it! Grace is dead! What you need to do now is to please your father and get back to the company!
“I’ve told you before, she was a curse! She couldn’t give you a child, and we couldn’t even utter a word of reproach to her. She acted like a queen in our family. I should have stopped you from marrying her in the first

Rena complained for a long time, only to look up and find that her son had long disappeared.
Today marked Alyssa’s first public appearance at home. As the female lead favored by Cathy, she showed up alongside Ethan, who seldom took part in film promotions.
Besides focusing on the movie, the media inevitably brought up her twin sister, Grace.
Alyssa responded flawlessly. Her popularity soared, and the number of her fans directly exceeded the 10–million mark.
The public relations team led by Sophia posed pointed questions and asked her how she felt about Grace’s death.
Nearly two years had passed, and Alyssa’s mindset had changed significantly.
“Previously, I didn’t understand her. Why would she take her own life for a man? It wasn’t until I followed in her footsteps and entered this industry that I came to realize that there is always beautiful love in the world, but she just loved the wrong person.”
The fans below nodded in agreement, and no one noticed the desolate corner. Antonio, his eyes red, stared fixedly at the stage.
Upon hearing the words “she loved the wrong person“, he was so eager to rush forward and immediately explain that he loved her, but had just been bewitched by Roxie…
But with bodyguards blocking him, he couldn’t get close to Alyssa.
Antonio finally managed to see her in the underground parking lot after waiting for a long time, but he saw her happily jumping into Ethan’s arms.

They kissed and hugged each other and returned to the car together.
Antonio’s face turned pale. He was sure that it was Grace!

Witnessing her being affectionate with another man right before his eyes, he was seized by a pain so intense that it was almost suffocating.
This made him wonder if, when he had been having an affair with Roxie in the past, Grace had felt as wretched as he did at this moment.
When the car started and drove away, he came to his senses and was overcome with the urge to run after it.
But someone punched him in the face.
As Antonio screamed in pain, he was beaten and staggered to the ground.
Ethan looked down at him as if he were looking at a loser.
“It’s you! How did you manage to bewitch her? She loves me. She has to come home with me!”
Ethan snorted and threw punches continuously, leaving Antonio unable to fight back.
It was not until Antonio on the ground vomited blood that Ethan took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and then stood up.
“Love you? Does she love your betrayal? Or your cheating?”
Antonio’s face was completely bloodless. For the first time in his life, an overwhelming feeling of inferiority surged through him.
What Ethan said was right. He didn’t deserve to ask for her forgiveness.
“You want her to go back with you? Don’t you know what nonsense are you talking about?”
