---- Chapter 77 They wanted to bury Melvin next to Celia's mom, but | had already anticipated all this and was waiting for them at the cemetery early on. Upon seeing me, Celia turned pale, and she lunged at me like a madwoman. "It's you! You killed my dad!" Antonio quickly grabbed her around the waist.

Maybe he felt guilty about my mom, so he lied, "We're here to pay our respects..." | cut him off coldly and then held up all the text messages he had been sending me non-stop these past few days, right in front of Celia. "Grace, give me some more time. Once Celia is ---- doing better, I'll break it off with her." "The only person I've ever really loved is you.

Please, don't give up on me." Celia only read two of the messages, and then she turned her head, glaring at Antonio with tears in her eyes. But pretty soon, the anger in her eyes went away, and she hugged Antonio's waist tight. "It's OK, Antonio. As long as you stay with me, | don't care about anything else." Antonio's face showed he felt bad about it. His hand, which was about to push Celia away, stopped in the middle of the motion. He looked at me, all hesitant.

| didn't even spare him a glance and walked straight up to Celia. ---- Afraid that | might do something, Antonio quickly stepped in front of Celia to block my way. | smiled, "Antonio, you want to bury my dad next to Celia's mom, right? When you die, how are you going to face my mom with that on your conscience?" Then | looked at Celia and said, "This loser is all yours now!" After that, | walked away from the cemetery, not looking back even once.

Maybe it was the last bit of decency Antonio had left, but he ended up talking Celia out of it and didn't let her bury Melvin next to her mom. Before Melvin killed himself, he made a will, leaving 80% of his money to me and the rest to Celia. ---- He did this not out of guilt, but as a way to get me to give up on avenging Celia. But | had to say, his money was really dirty. | only kept the companies that my mom used to run and sold everything else for cash, giving it all to charity.

| wanted to get back at Celia, but | changed my mind pretty fast. Antonio got swayed by his own desires so easily, and that only showed one thing: what he loved the most was himself. So even if Celia managed to overcome all the difficulties and end up with him, in the end, she'd just be like a little smudge of mosquito blood on the wall. Death was actually the quickest way out. It was ---- living that was the real torture.

After | thought everything through, | decided to go study abroad and forget about the past. When | left, | only told Janet. She looked like she wanted me to stay, but in the end, she just said, "Take care of yourself." She told me that maybe it was payback, but Celia really had cancer now. | smiled a little, and that last bit of grudge in my heart just disappeared. All the bad stuff was behind me now. The future felt wide open. The Side Story of Antonio: | liked Grace when | was still a kid.

She was like a little sun, all warm and bright, and ---- she just burst into my life and took over my heart. When our family was going through its hardest time, only Grace and her mom wouldn't give up on us. They were like angels sent to save us. At that time, | made a silent promise that I'd be good to them, no matter what. But one day, my grandma passed away suddenly, and our whole family went back for the funeral.
