I knew well that he had no real feelings for me.
So, I directly took a pot of cold water and splashed it on him.
Antonio was drenched with water and left in a huff.
After getting rid of Antonio, I felt quite happy, but unexpectedly, my mom suddenly fainted.
I hurriedly took her to the hospital, and after some tests, I found out that she had uremia.
Before I could digest this news, I also heard that the surgery fee required 80,000 dollars.
I didn’t have the money.
How could I save my mom?
I stood helplessly in the hospital corridor, and when I looked up, I saw Antonio appear in front of me.
“Grace, as long as you agree to be with me, I can give you the money.”
I clenched my fist and didn’t say anything.
Antonio looked at me. “Don’t you want to save your mom?“.
An unprecedented sense of despair surrounded me. I didn’t want to compromise, but thinking about my mom waiting for the surgery fee to save her life made me desperate.

I moved my lips, about to speak, when I heard someone call me. “Grace.”
I turned around and saw Dillon walking towards me, “Don’t agree with him. I have the money you need.”
Antonio’s face darkened instantly. “It’s you again!”
Dillon shoved Antonio aside and grabbed my hand. “Let’s go. I’ll pay the medical fees.”
So, Dillon helped me pay the medical fees for my mom, and I was very touched.
‘“I will definitely pay you back.”
Dillon smiled. “It doesn’t matter whether you pay me back or not. Your mom’s health is the most important.”
After I resolved the medical fees issue, Antonio became angry and said he would make our studio go under.
He started pressuring the studio, preventing us from getting any projects.
With his power, it was easy for him to deal with a small studio.
I knew his goal. He wanted me to bow to him. I certainly didn’t want to give in, but I felt guilty for dragging the studio down.
I said to Dillon, “Antonio is targeting me. If that’s the case, I’ll quit.”
If I quit, Antonio would no longer target the studio.
Dillon shook his head and comforted me. “It’s okay. This studio was opened just for you, and if it shuts down, so be it.”

I was stunned. “What did you just say?”
Dillon felt a bit embarrassed, but he honestly explained everything to me.

He had secretly liked me since high school but didn’t dare confess. Later, he heard from classmates that I got married. If I had been happy, he wouldn’t have appeared in front of me for the rest of his life.
After learning that I had divorced, he vowed to bravely face his feelings and came to find me.
Knowing I loved design, he opened the studio and invited me for an interview.
If it weren’t for Antonio’s bullying, he hadn’t planned to tell me, since he didn’t want to stress me out.
After saying this, Dillon looked at me in silence. He scratched his head and said, “I did that because I love you. You don’t need to feel burdened.”
After a pause, he added, “We’ll think of a way for the studio. Don’t worry.“”
In the end, he turned to leave, and I grabbed his arm. “Dillon, we need to work hard to save the studio. As for us, can you let me think it through?”
Dillon looked at me and nodded.
Saving the studio wasn’t just about saving our careers. It was also about saving our dreams.
But I didn’t expect that I was still too naïve. The studio was facing the imminent threat of shutting down.

Just when we were feeling down, a breakthrough came. My design was noticed by an international luxury brand, and they approached me for a collaboration.
I excitedly agreed. I knew that the harder I worked, the luckier
I got.
No matter how rich or powerful Antonio was, he couldn’t stretch his hand that far.
And it seemed that something had happened in his family. His father fell ill and was hospitalized. He was so busy and overwhelmed that he didn’t come to find me again.
Meanwhile, I was touched by Dillon’s sincerity and agreed to be with him.
The studio’s reputation grew, and I became a well–known designer, with my jewelry winning numerous awards.
After some time of preparation, I opened my first jewelry store, and after earning money, I continued to open branches. My business boomed.
I achieved my goal, bought my first house, and brought my mom to live with me.
Three years later, Dillon and I founded a company, and on that day, he proposed to me.
“Grace, will you marry me?”
The ring Dillon held was the one he designed himself. I had seen the design draft half a year ago. He had stayed up several nights to design it.

True love was always sincere.
With tears in my eyes, I said, “I will.”
Dillon rarely spoke sweet words to me. He expressed his love through actions. Being with him made me feel secure and at
ease.
Dillon’s parents didn’t look down on me because I was a divorcee. On the contrary, they treated me like their own daughter.
Later, when I met with some former colleagues, I heard the gossip about Antonio.
It turned out that Antonio was never the real heir of the Kaufman family. He had been switched at birth.
Antonio’s biological mother was actually a servant at the Kaufman’s house. When his “parents” found out about that, they kicked Antonio and his mother out in a fit of anger.
Antonio fell from grace, becoming the laughingstock of the entire town. And he ended up living a tough life.
To survive, he had to work as a delivery man.
Now, he was a poor guy for real.
