" Mr. Kaufman , there was still no news about Mrs. Kaufman . " The assistant's voice was inevitably timid , and it had been a whole month , with no trace of either the living or the dead . Antonio lifted his head , his eyes bloodshot . " Why not continue searching ? What are you doing here ? " The assistant left promptly in response . Antonio slumped to the ground , feeling overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness . The thought of his wife possibly being dead almost suffocated him . No , no , the body had not been found yet . He was only worried about whether his Grace was cold , hungry , or being bullied . It has been nearly two months , and there is still no news . Every place that Grace could have possibly gone to was searched , and every friend who might have known her whereabouts was questioned , but nothing was ever found . Antonio's spirit gradually crumbled , and repeated disappointments left him on the brink of despair . He no longer attended to his business , spent his days drinking heavily , and often sat staring at the family portrait in the villa . He muttered to himself , " Where are you , you won't die , you won't … " A tear slid down from the corner of the eye . " Grace , don't you really want me anymore ? " The shareholders , increasingly dissatisfied , sent a message to Antonio's retired father . Antonio's parents hurriedly re- turned from Dormere . As soon as Jacob Kaufman entered the door , he gave Antonio a hard slap in the face . " What a waste , what does it look like ! " " You have disgraced the Kaufman family . " Antonio was deeply affectionate , but there was an icy coldness in his heart . Father had only expectations for him , never care . Since childhood , he was like a puppet on a string , only able to me- 0.0 % 10:58 Chapter 11 chanically learn various knowledge and learn how to be a qualified heir . And now , he has also lost the person he loved the most . Antonio's mother , Miley , couldn't help but speak up as tears slid down her face . " Antonio , Grace has already died , are you going to keep sinking into depression for her ? " 1 288 Vouchers " You had your responsibilities , and besides , didn't Yesenia also have a child ? In my opinion , it's all the same . " " You grew up together since childhood , and she even saved your life . " She was already dissatisfied with Grace as her daughter - in - law . Not only was Grace from a poor background , but she also only gave birth to a useless daughter . In her opinion , Yesenia grew up under her watchful eyes . If it weren't for Grace , a scheming woman , taking advan- tage of the opportunity to go abroad , Yesenia and her son would have been destined for a perfect match . Antonio lifted his head , but his gaze was filled with silence . " Grace did not die , I don't believe she died . " As for Yesenia , I only treated her like a sister . I would not marry her , nor did I love her . " She hurt Grace and killed Talia , I didn't retaliate against her , that was already my repayment to her . " Miley was taken aback , furrowing her brows in confusion . " What kind of love potion did she give you that made you so infatuated ? " Antonio chuckled self - deprecatingly . There was once a sincere love , once he had a happy family , with a beloved wife and daughter . The warmth that the Kaufman family did not have , Grace gave to him , but all of this was also destroyed by him with his own hands . He lowered his head and stopped speaking , concealing the regret and despair in his eyes . The anger on Jacob's face could no longer be suppressed . " Alright then , don't be the president anymore . Just continue being this pathetic . " Miley gently tugged on Jacob's sleeve and whispered words of comfort . " My son just couldn't see it at the time , but the company's performance had multiplied several times over the past few years … " The sound in the background faded away , but Antonio couldn't help but laugh at himself . My biological parents , they only used me for their own benefit . 41.7 % 10:57 υπάρχει τ Antonio remained motionless , immersed in alcohol and longing , as his parents departed . His body became weaker and weaker , and his mind became more and more confused . In the darkness , Antonio concealed a tear . Grace , were you waiting for me somewhere ?
