Chapter 13
Since Grace spoke to Antonio and told him about the divorce, she felt like a weight had been lifted off her chest for many
years.
Perhaps she lost the person she had loved for many years, but she gained a new life.
She thought that she would have no further contact with Antonio in the future.
A few days later, Antonio called again.
“Grace, come to the company immediately.”
Grace pressed the speakerphone and looked at the message sent by Maggie, without answering Antonio on the other end of the phone.
In Maggie’s message, it was mentioned that the company missed out on a very important major collaboration due to Celeste’s mistake.
Celeste verbally attacked the director from the client who came to discuss cooperation, mistaking him for a love rival. As a result, the director immediately ended the collaboration.
The board of directors believed that Celeste was not capable of fulfilling the position of vice president and wanted to dismiss her.
But Antonio disagreed. The board of directors was worried about how to confront Antonio, so they used Antonio’s

disagreement as an excuse to force Grace, who knows nothing, to become the deputy general manager, and to dismiss Antonio from his position as the general manager,
Since Peter’s death, the major shareholders have been eagerly eyeing the power of the Kaufman Group.
Antonio lacked business acumen, and if it weren’t for Grace carrying the burden all these years, he would have been kicked out as the general manager a long time ago.
Perhaps because he had enjoyed good days for too long, he had already forgotten who had allowed him to sit securely in the position of general manager.
Antonio, who did not receive a response, shouted angrily on the phone, “Grace, are you deaf when I’m talking to you?”
“Sorry, I was busy.”
Grace refused.
She did not forget how Antonio had spoken to her the day he kicked her out of the company.
He told her to get lost.
She also said, “Don’t regret it.”
I didn’t expect to be slapped in the face so soon.
After all, Antonio’s tone softened a bit as he said, “Grace, the company is facing a small problem now, and you must come and solve it. Have you forgotten what my father said to you before he passed away?”
If I’m not mistaken, Antonio must have sent her on this trip to

salvage the cooperation, and then, after using her, kick her
away.
After working as a servant for five years, Grace was
exhausted. “I have done what I was supposed to do, and from now on, I have nothing to do with the Kaufman Group. Please don’t call me anymore.”
“Grace, you heartless woman, you killed my child and now you’re adding insult to injury!”
Celeste’s grating voice came from the phone.
Kick a man when he is down.
Grace couldn’t help but furrow her brow when she heard
those four words.
No matter what Celeste and Antonio said, she only had two
words: “No time.”
Antonio’s voice rang out again, “Grace, are you still human? Can your conscience be at ease when Celeste has been hurt like this?”
“You killed her child, so you should take care of her for the rest of her life!”
Grace had grown tired of hearing these words: “Antonio, if I am guilty, please have the police arrest me. Stop morally blackmailing me!”
She finished speaking and hung up the phone directly.
Even though there was no pressure, Celeste, feeling guilty because she had lost her child and could no longer conceive, patiently endured for five years.

Antonio hated that child to the core.

But that child was never his, the Celeste he had always held in the palm of his hand and carefully nurtured, was not as pure and flawless as he had seen.
Antonio was extremely hateful for everything he did to her.
It was ridiculous that Celeste treated me with such affection
as if I were a fool.
Antonio, whose call was abruptly ended, had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Celeste bit her lip, feeling somewhat uneasy.
This time, the blame ultimately fell on her as she was the one who stirred up the trouble.
She reached out to hug Antonio, “Antonio, what do we do now?”
Antonio impatiently brushed her hand away, “How am I supposed to know? Grace never used to behave like this when she was the vice president.”
Celeste’s face turned ugly: “Are you now finding me inferior to
her?”
Those watery big eyes instantly filled with tears: “Antonio, I can’t have children for the rest of my life because of you. It’s just a lost order, and you start giving me a cold shoulder?”
“I didn’t mean that…”
Antonio wanted to comfort her, but when he saw her tears, he felt annoyed for the first time: “Just let me be alone, I need to
