Going to that business party was also on my schedule, so I agreed.
But unexpectedly, when he came to pick me up, I saw Tessie sitting in the front passenger seat.
Tessie rolled down the window and said to me with a proud look, “Grace, I have to take the front seat because I don’t wanna get car sick. Sorry.”
I made light of her words and opened the back seat door. Then, I found that those dolls were all gone.
Hector felt a bit embarrassed and explained, “I was afraid Tessie might feel lonely, so I took her with us to the party.”
I directly closed my eyes, not giving any response to him.
Along the way, Tessie deliberately flirted with Hector and recounted their experiences together over the past year.
Hector would also respond to her, but he seemed a bit cold this time.
Soon, we arrived at the venue.
When Hector’s friends saw me and Tessie getting out of Hector’s car, they were a bit surprised and exchanged glances with each other.
Tessie greeted them warmly as if they had known each other for long.

It turned out that I was the only one who was kept in the dark.
When they looked at me, they seemed a bit embarrassed. But I nodded faintly at them and then entered the venue directly.
Vaguely, I heard their discussions behind me.
“What happened to her? No fuss this time?”
If it were in the past, I would definitely make a fuss in front of
everyone.
But now, I didn’t care about them anymore.
At the party, I walked around with a glass of juice in my hand, looking for new business partners.
But Tessie suddenly walked up in front of me and picked a fight.
“Grace, you must be very upset when seeing me, right? Yes, you’re his wife. But the one he loves is always me. You know what? We’ve traveled around the world together in the past year, and whenever I need him, he’ll be there for me.”
Hearing this, I chuckled indifferently, “Since he loves you so much, why doesn’t he divorce me and marry you?”
My words seemed to have touched a nerve, and she hissed with a resentful and fierce look in her eyes, “I know your family is wealthy, but so what? You don’t have his love. The one he loves is me!”
After she finished speaking, the expression on her face suddenly changed. She first sneered at me and then fell backward with a face full of panic.

Before I could react, I was pushed back heavily and hit the champagne rack.
The champagne fell one after another, and the cracking sound immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Being pushed to the ground, I felt so much pain in my body.
Countless shards of glass had stuck in my palms.
At the same time, I felt a warm liquid flow down my thighs.
Hector hurried over and gently held Tessie in his arms. Then, he turned his head and glared at me, blaming me, “Grace, what’s wrong with you? How could you…”
Before he could finish his words, someone exclaimed, “She’s bleeding!”
Hector seemed to have suddenly remembered something and softened his voice, asking, “Grace, are you OK? I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to blame you. I’ll take you to the hospital now.”
Before he could move, Tessie chimed in, “Grace, you’re having a period, aren’t you? Why didn’t you prepare in advance? Well, fortunately, I’ve got some tampons in my bag. Here. You should go to the toilet to clean yourself up.”
I wanted to refute it, but I couldn’t utter a word due to the
pain.
Meanwhile, when Hector heard Tessie’s words, he looked at me with disdain and complained, “Be a lady, will you? Now go and clean yourself. Don’t embarrass yourself here!”
With that, he held Tessie’s arm and left with his friends.

“I thought Grace had changed. Turns out she has actually had a new plan.”
The onlookers sensed that there might be some personal affairs between me and Hector, but they didn’t want to meddle. So, they quickly dispersed, leaving me struggling
alone here.
Enduring the pain, I struggled to reach for my phone and dialed 911.
Every time I moved my fingers, the glass shards would pierce deeper into my hand.
Finally, the call got through. But before I could say anything, I smelled the familiar scent of cedar and then completely fainted.
When I opened my eyes again, I learned that I had just been through surgery.
The baby was gone.
I knew this was my fate.
Without the baby, I could completely cut ties with Hector
now.
“Grace, what have you done to yourself when I was away?” It was Antonio Kaufman.
He looked at me with both anger and worry in his eyes.
I knew it was him who helped send me to the hospital, so I weakly smiled at him, “Thank you, Antonio.”

He looked angry, but he still carefully placed a spoon of soup near my mouth.
But I said, “I can eat it myself.”
