The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

The Lies He Told Me 168

Antonio's voice from the recording was loud enough for everyone to hear. "Honestly, I bought some top-

notch knockoffs for Eloise. Never imagined she'd be so eager to spend money on me.

"Not everything was fake, though. I played it smart, mixing in some real stuff to avoid getting caught. Once she'd shown them off, I'd swap the real ones for fakes and sell them. Never lost a dime."

I figured Eloise would recognize that voice.

She started eyeing the Hermes bag. Just as she walked

over, her Ph.D. advisor's wife said, "The one in your hand is fake. The new collection isn't even out yet. How could he have bought it?"

Her gaze then shifted to Eloise's face.

While the others stood dumbfounded, she slapped Eloise hard across the face.

She then switched the video, showing Eloise making out with the Ph.D. advisor. Eloise was utterly devastated, and so was Antonio.

Antonio kept saying

that everything he had bought Eloise was real. I stepped in, followed by the top-

tier appraiser, well-known among the ladies who had purchased luxury items.

I snatched the bag from Eloise and handed it to the appraiser. After examining it, he declared, "Just a nice knockoff."

Antonio shot back, "The store clerk tricked me. I was just a victim."

I smiled and nodded, then grabbed Eloise's hand and showed the bracelet.

I scratched it hard, and the color came off.

Another blow to Eloise.
