Chapter 24
Antonio’s sanity regained a bit as he looked at Grace’s reddened eye sockets.
“Grace, I…”
He wanted to apologize, but before the words could come out, a fist came smashing towards him.
Lucas’s eyes gleamed with coldness: “Antonio, get out!”
Antonio wiped the bloodstain off the corner of his mouth.
He couldn’t believe that Grace had so quickly thrown herself into the arms of another man.
And this man was better than him in every aspect.
He wanted to make one last struggle: “Grace, you have no connection with him, right? You say it, and I will believe.”
Grace hated Antonio more than Celeste did.
I had once devoted all my love in vain, but now, looking at Antonio, I only want to completely draw a line between us.
“It is as you saw it and as you thought it to be. Are you satisfied? If you are, then please leave!”
Antonio looked at Grace, those clear eyes used to be filled
with love for him.
But now, there is only indifference and hatred.

Antonio’s heart felt like it was being heavily pounded by something.
He wanted to say some words of reconciliation, but he didn’t know how to start.
Lucas called a bodyguard on the phone, and Antonio was taken away.
As he was leaving, he shouted, “Grace, don’t let him deceive you!”
Grace looked at Lucas apologetically and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Palmer…”
She wanted to say that she shouldn’t have used Lucas as a scapegoat.
Lucas, however, interrupted her before she could finish speaking, saying, “What do you have to apologize to me for? Were you feeling guilty about taking advantage of me just now?”
Grace, who was originally feeling a bit suppressed, couldn’t help but laugh.
She averted her eyes and said, “Can you please put on your clothes before speaking?”
After a rustling sound, Lucas’s voice came up, “You can turn around now.”
I have to say, Lucas had really good looks, not at all inferior to those male celebrities in the entertainment industry. The key is that he had a muscular body even when he took off his clothes.

Grace thought of this, and a suspicious blush appeared on her face again.
Lucas reached out his hand to her forehead, “Did you have a fever? Why is your face so red?”
Grace slapped his hand away as if she had been electrocuted.
“I’m fine! Didn’t we want to discuss the details of our
collaboration?”
Grace busily pulled out a stack of documents from her bag, saying, “They’re all here.”
Lucas paused for a moment, and after a while, it seemed like he understood something. His deep eyes were filled with a smile as he said, “Okay.”
For some reason, Grace felt that Lucas’s smile was a bit dazzling.
In the following time, the discussion was all about cooperation, and Lucas didn’t say anything strange or peculiar anymore.
When leaving, Lucas asked Grace to attend the Palmer Group’s cocktail party.
The company is now in a partnership with the Palmer Group.
Lucas’s invitation was reasonable and appropriate.
Grace didn’t think much and agreed.
On the day of the party, Grace wore a formal dress and went.

The magnificent venue was filled with distinguished individuals.
Under the dazzling lights, Lucas stood in the crowd and looked at her. He mouthed the words “Happy birthday” to her.
Birthday, Grace had not celebrated for five years.
Five years ago, on Celeste’s birthday, she lost her child.
After marrying Antonio, that day became taboo.
A strange feeling arose in Grace’s heart.
Lucas followed behind the waiter carrying the cake.
Seeing her eyes turning red, a hint of nervousness instantly arose: “What’s wrong?”
Grace pulled out a smile and said, “Wasn’t it supposed to be a party?”
“I will celebrate with you by borrowing some wine.”
