Antonio followed behind her.
Grace said in a casual tone, “No, I ate with the client.”
Antonio wondered, “Which company? Grace, can you please stop ignoring me?”
Grace found Antonio to be as annoying as a fly.
He had been following closely behind her, seemingly determined to accompany her into the private room.
“Antonio, could you please stop following me? It annoys me.“‘
Antonio looked at her with disappointment, “I’m sorry, Grace. I just wanted to have a meal with you.”
Eating with him would only make her lose her appetite for food.
“Sorry, I didn’t want to eat with you.”
Grace turned around to leave, but Antonio tried to reach out and pull her closer, only to have his hand abruptly waved
away.
Lucas stepped forward and stood in front of Grace, saying, “Mr. Kaufman, it’s not quite appropriate to get physical in public.”
Antonio looked at Lucas, who suddenly appeared, and inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.

His intuition told him that the relationship between Lucas and Grace was not ordinary.
He was a little angry, but the Palmer family was not someone that could be easily offended.
Antonio could only suppress his anger and forced a cold smile, saying, “Mr. Palmer, what’s wrong with me talking to my wife?”
“Wife?”
Lucas looked at Grace.
The look seemed to be asking her if this man, along with other women, had planned to catch her, and if she hadn’t divorced
yet.
Grace felt a little guilty as she looked at him, and coughed, “Antonio, we got divorced.”
Antonio frowned, “If the paperwork wasn’t done, we were still a legally married couple.”
He did remind her.
“Could you please accompany me tomorrow to handle some formalities?”
“Grace!”
Antonio got angry, but looking at Grace’s indifferent eyes made him feel helpless.
After all, everything now was his own fault.

After Grace finished speaking, she turned and entered the private room.
Antonio wanted to go ahead, but Lucas blocked his way.
Lucas looked at him and gave a mocking smile, saying, “Mr. Kaufman is truly a fickle person. Not long ago, he was caught with a woman and a journalist, trying to catch his own wife cheating. And now he has changed his image? Is he going for the faithful route now?”
Antonio’s face fell: “Lucas, what do you mean?”
He couldn’t offend the Palmer family, but Lucas felt uncomfortable in his heart like being scratched by claws
because of his attitude towards Grace.
The hotel room that day was also Lucas’s.
He even doubted if Grace had already been with Lucas.
With this in mind, his gaze turned icy.
Lucas smiled lightly and said, “It’s nothing, just a matter of seeing injustice on the road.”
He turned around, leaving only a silhouette for Antonio.
The moment the private room door closed, Antonio clenched his teeth tightly.
He reluctantly dialed Grace’s phone number and, as expected, was hung up on.

Grace looked at her finally quiet phone and sighed.
She had to put the divorce proceedings on her agenda,

If Antonio really didn’t want to, she wouldn’t mind hiring a lawyer to communicate, after all, she had quite a lot of evidence of Antonio and Celeste’s affair in her hands.
As soon as Lucas sat down, he asked Grace a question, “What did you like about him?”
“What?”
Distracted Grace didn’t hear clearly.
Lucas repeated again, “I asked you what you liked about him.”
It took Grace a while to realize that he was referring to
Antonio.
This question had a certain level of insult.
Grace reluctantly said, “Everyone has a time of youthful ignorance.”
Lucas sneered, “Indeed, quite ignorant.”
Grace gave him a glare and, realizing that he was the father of the client, had to suppress her anger and said with a forced
smile, “Mr. Palmer is indeed quick–witted!”
Lucas seemed to not understand the irony in her words, and gladly accepted her ‘praise‘: “You flatter me.”
During the meal, Grace kept steering the conversation towards cooperation, but Lucas kept avoiding the topic.

Grace became a little impatient as Lucas repeatedly played games with her. She strongly suspected that Lucas was simply fooling around with her.
“Mr. Palmer, if you had no intention of cooperating, there would be no need to waste each other’s time.”
Lucas was not annoyed either, he put a piece of braised pork into her bowl and said, “What’s the rush? After we finis
