Seeing me trying to get rid of him, Antonio said with gritted teeth, “Grace, you won.
“No matter what you want, I won’t have any problem, as long as you stop torturing me by throwing a tantrum.”
I was more than confused to hear that. “Antonio, what’s wrong with your brain? Don’t you understand? Whatever between us is done. How many more times do I need to repeat that to you?”
Yet Antonio didn’t seem to understand that. He then stared at me for seconds.
No matter how hard I struggled, Antonio just wouldn’t let go of me. He tried to drag me into the silver car a few meters away.
Seeing that, Alonso came over and grabbed me by the other wrist. “Grace doesn’t wanna leave with you.”
Sensing that I was sparing no effort to get close to Alonso, Antonio was even more annoyed.
Antonio then said to Alonso, “Grace and I are getting married.
“She had accepted my proposal a long time ago. She’ll become my wife in a few days.
“What’s your business here? You’re just an outsider.”
Alonso tightened his grab. Before he fought back, I spoke up first.

“Alonso is my boyfriend. My business is always his as well.
“Yet you… what’s your business here? You’re nothing more than my ex–boyfriend. How dare you yell at my boyfriend?”
After I said that, Cecilia got out of the.car in her hospital gown. She leaned against Antonio as she blinked her eyes and spoke.
“Grace, that’s too much. You were flirting with him back at the banquet. And now you even hurt Antonio for his sake.
“Are you that horny? Within two months, you’re already with another man.
“How could you do that?”
Horny? Very well.
I accepted Cecilia’s accusation. Then I turned to Antonio.
“Look how generous Cecilia is! You two are a perfect couple. I wish you all the best.”
Upon hearing that, Antonio put on a stern face.
Cecilia seemed quite contented. Just as she was about to irritate me, Antonio pushed her away as if he just woke up from a dream. The moment he saw Alonso beside me, he panicked.
Cecilia didn’t expect that. She broke her knees as she hit the ground. She then watched as Antonio rushed to me.
“Grace, whatever between Cecilia and me is not what you think it is.
“She was in my car because she fainted in the office. Thus, I

had to send her to the hospital.”
I found him funny.
“Why are you telling that to me?”
Seeing that I wasn’t mad, Antonio seemed quite relieved.
“Grace, I just want you to know that you’re the only one that’s ever in my mind.”
When Alonso noted that Antonio was about to touch my face, he suddenly pulled me into his arms.
He then said coldly to Antonio, “Grace is now my girlfriend. Please don’t cross the line.”
Before I could thank Alonso for his cooperation, Antonio came to grab Alonso by the collar. He then punched Alonso.
Alonso could have dodged that.
Yet to protect me, who was still in his arms, Alonso chose to stand still and let Antonio hit him.
I then slapped Antonio in the face right after he punched Alonso.
Letting go of Alonso, Antonio stood still, dumbfounded, for seconds. He finally turned around to me.
He couldn’t believe what had just happened.
“Grace, have you lost your mind?”
He didn’t have to ask. He was convinced that I had lost my

mind.
If I hadn’t lost my mind, how could I have slapped him? After all, I had been more than obedient in the past eight years. I had been deeply in love with him for eight whole years. How could I have slapped him for the sake of another man?
The only explanation was that I had lost my mind or he was dreaming. Just as Antonio was figuring out what was
happening, he saw me holding Alonso’s hands, asking, “Does it hurt? Do we need to see a doctor?”
Antonio was completely shocked
His eyes turned red. Apparently, he didn’t believe what he had just seen.
Cecilia got up from the ground. She hadn’t given up on Antonio yet. Thus, she pointed at me as she scolded me.
“You bitch! Antonio always wants to marry you! Yet you cheated on him for this man!”
I didn’t fight back before when Cecilia was making up stories to smear my reputation.
Yet she had come too far. She was accusing Alonso of being a home–wrecker. That was too much.
With a chuckle, I took off my right high heel and came to her.
