Chapter35
Alison and Javon stepped out of the elevator side by side.
To her surprise, Antonio simply wouldn’t give up and came
chasing after them once more.
Right there in public, he grabbed her wrist without hesitation, his
eyes a complex mix of elation and sorrow.
“Grace, I’m certain it’s you! Please, give me one more chance!
“I know I was wrong. I truly know I made a mistake…
“Ever since you left, I’ve been regretting day in and day out,
every single night, every minute…
“I promise you, I swear to you. If I ever repeat my mistake, I’ll be
doomed!”
Alison gradually slowed her pace until she stopped.
She looked at Antonio with a composed demeanor, her cold
eyes brimming with hatred.
“Grace is dead.
“What’s more, it was you who killed her.”
Chapter35
For an instant, Antonio’s body convulsed, and he froze, as if a
thousand arrows were piercing his heart.
Seeing that Alison was about to walk away without mercy, he
clutched her wrist even tighter and suddenly dropped to his
knees.
“I know, I deserve to die!
“But I really can’t go on living without you…
“Have mercy on me, please, okay?”
His voice was feeble and submissive. He was desperately
pleading for mercy.
At this moment, a figure dashed out from behind the onlookers, desperately attempting to pull him up.
“Get up! Antonio, get up! I won’t let you kneel to her!
“You’re a person of such high status. How could you kneel
before her!”
Mylie was deeply in love with Antonio and idolized him.
She couldn’t stand him groveling on his knees, devoid of all
dignity.

Mylie wailed and shrieked, her facial features contorted as if she
had lost her sanity. She turned towards Alison and cursed.
“Who do you think you are? How could you humiliate him like Xthis?”
However, Antonio showed no gratitude. Instead, he shoved
Mylie away forcefully, sending her sprawling to the ground.
Mylie truly broke down.
She was in a state of hysteria. “She’s humiliating you, and yet
you still protect her!
“I’m the one who loves you the most. Why can’t you even spare
me a second glance?”
But no matter how heart–rending her cries were, Antonio
seemed to be deaf to her pleas.
He continued to gaze at Alison imploringly, gripping her wrist
tightly, and couldn’t tear his eyes away.
It was as if in his world, only she mattered.
Just then, a fist cleaved through the rushing wind with such
force that Antonio was immediately sent crashing to the ground.
Javon nonchalantly adjusted his sleeves, his eyes, with a

menacing glint, fixated on Antonio.
“I’ve been tolerating you.
“I’m warning you! Keep the hell away from Alison. She’s my
girlfriend.”
