The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

Chapter288

Michelle wriggled free from Antonio's embrace and planted herself between us.

"Ms. Parrish, please don't be too hard on Antonio," she begged, tears welling up

"This is my fault. I shouldn't have interfered in your relationship." She wiped her nose. "I'll leave now."

Antonio's expression softened as he looked at Michelle. "Why are you apologizing? Grace is the one who should be sorry!"

He gently brushed away her tears, then turned a hardened gaze back to me.

"Grace, get your things and leave."

"I'll break off the engagement," I said, cutting him off, "but first, you should return what's mine."

Antonio looked puzzled. "What are you talking about?"
