Grace''s heart skipped a beat.
She had guessed that Antonio was going to meet Mylie.
But she hadn''t expected him to be so bold as to arrange for Mylie to stay right next door!
On the screen, Mylie ran barefoot toward the door, throwing herself into the visitor''s arms. "Honey!"
The camera angle only showed his ankles.
Yet, Grace instantly recognized the visitor as Antonio, the very same man who had imed he loved her five minutes ago.
The live stream chat was flooded withments,
"Wow, so Mylie wasn''t kidding. She does have a rich boyfriend!"
"So the 160,000 dors she got as a Valentine''s Day gift is real?!"
"No wonder she''s been spotted splurging in malls and getting chauffeured in luxury cars..."
"That exins why she became famous so quickly!"
"Every couple is outdoing thest one on this Valentine Day. I''m so jealous!"
On screen, the man let out augh, his voice husky.

"Why didn''t you ept the money I gave you? Do you think it''s not enough?"
Mylie giggled sweetly, "I don''t want your money. I just want you to be here with me!
She added, "I even got you a gift. You can unwrap it yourself..."
Mylie led the man into the room, and they disappeared from view.
The chat went wild with excitement.
Grace felt as if her heart was bleeding.
Just then, a ringtone shattered the silence.
When she answered, no one spoke.
Only a few soft, almost imperceptible breaths came through.
Grace clutched the phone, her knuckles turning white. "Antonio," she said in a shaky voice.
All the noise on the other end vanished, reced by Antonio''s shallow breathing. "Honey, it''s me.
"It''s nothing. I just missed you."
His voice was calm,ced with affection.
What a smooth liar.
Grace closed her eyes, a tear rolling down her cheek.

When the call ended, the man and woman appeared again in the livestream.
Mylie apologized in a sweet and pitiful voice, "I''m sorry. I identally pressed the button.
"Don''t be angry. I will ept any punishment, okay?"
"I''ll punish you right now then."
With a shriek, Mylie was swept off her feet, and they disappeared from view again.
Grace''s eyshes fluttered, and tears fell silently.

But Antonio''s eyes glinted with determination.
"Grace, if I want to give you something, no one can snatch it away."
Grace didn''t respond.
When Antonio finally won the auction and eagerly presented

When Antonio''s friend asked for the pendant saying that it was his mother''s favorite, she remained silent too.
Antonio snorted in the car on the way back, "If that guy ever asks for anything again, just tell him to get lost."
He didn''t notice Grace had her gaze fixed on the woman''s image on thergest billboard outside.
The entire inte was buzzing about Mylie''s mysterious boyfriendst night.
Yet Mylie seemed unfazed, continuing to share her happiness on social media,
"The punishment was severe, but I enjoyed it."
In the car, Antonio continued talking but received no response from Grace. He followed her gaze out the window, then froze.
At the same time, Grace turned her head, her gaze cold and sharp.
"You must be really happy for Mylie, right, Antonio?"
