Looking at Antonio’s dark face, I felt much better.
Antonio cursed at me, “You shrew!”
I didn’t care. You just couldn’t be polite to such a man like Antonio!
Tessa looped her arm through Antonio’s and said pitifully, “Antonio, don’t be angry. Ms. Parrish probably loves you too much and doesn’t want to lose you. She even called me a mistress just now.”
Antonio glanced at me. “The one who’s not loved is the mistress!”
+remained expressionless, for I no longer loved him.
So he couldn’t hurt me anymore.
After Antonio got slapped, he finally agreed to divorce me.
If I had known this, I would’ve slapped him much earlier.
The day I got the divorce certificate, I felt like I had been reborn.
Having a failed marriage wasn’t scary. What mattered was cutting your losses in time.
Antonio transferred an extra 16,000 dollars to me as compensation.

I looked at the money and laughed until I cried.

He was always so stingy with me. I had been with him for three years, and to him, I was only worth 16,000 dollars!
I didn’t take it. I immediately transferred the money back.
Life was about standing your ground!
From then on, I focused entirely on my work. I wanted to work hard, make money, buy a house, and bring my mom to live with me.
One morning, as soon as I arrived at work, my colleagues ‘came over to gossip.
Tessa was exposed by the paparazzi yesterday for her dirty secrets. It turned out she was a kept woman of some big–time investor, which was why she had access to so many top–tier
resources.
Her rich boyfriend found out about that and got so angry that he broke up with her.
I hadn’t followed any news about Antonio and Tessa for a long time, and I thought they had already gotten married.
When I heard about this, I just thought of it as gossip and laughed it off. It had nothing to do with me.
After work, when I stepped out of the office, I saw a man standing next to a Ferrari.
As soon as Antonio saw me, he immediately walked up to me and said warmly, “Grace, let me give you a ride home.”
I gave him the cold shoulder and didn’t respond. I didn’t

understand why this man, who had disappeared for two or three months, was now here again.
Could it be that after breaking up with Tessa, he was now thinking of me again?
Yet I couldn’t care less.
Seeing that I was about to leave, Antonio stepped forward and blocked me.
“Grace, are you still angry with me?”
I looked at him coldly. “Antonio, we’re divorced now. We are ‘not related anymore.”
Antonio put on a show of acting as if he truly loved me.
“I was wrong before. I’m sorry. Grace. I apologize.
“After everything that has happened, I realize you’re the one who loves me the most. Now, all I want is to be with you. Let’s remarry.”
I watched him perform emotionless. I just found it amusing.
He thought that as long as he waved his hand, I would eagerly rush back to him.
In fact, that was exactly what Antonio thought. He believed that if he lowered his guard to coax me, I should obediently return to him.
“If you’re with me, you can live in my big villa. I can add your name to the property deed, and I’ll give you pocket money every month. You won’t even need to work anymore.”

I looked at him coldly. Even now, he still thought I was the kind of woman who could be bought with money.
Seeing me silent, Antonio thought I was wavering, so he continued.
“Grace, think about it carefully. This is your only chance to become rich for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you’ll forever be stuck in that rented house.”
He knew my biggest dream was to have my own home.
“Antonio, you’re disgusting.
“Listen. From the moment I found out you lied to me, I gave up on you. You’re a liar, so get lost!”
