The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio) novel Chapter 294

Chapter294

Michelle, all decked out in her high-end dress, was hanging out backstage, ready to step up and claim her prize.

Just then, Antonio's phone rang.

He felt a surge of irritation, pulling out his phone to turn it off.

But he happened to see a WhatsApp message flash on the screen. "Antonio, call back now. Something happened to Grace."

Antonio let out a scornful laugh.

Recalling the message Grace had just sent, he felt a growing sense of repulsion.

He texted back nonchalantly, "What game is she playing this time?"

Michelle was about to hit the stage for her award.

He didn't have the energy or the inclination to deal with Grace's antics.

Anything that happened now was just a bid to spoil Michelle's big moment.

Michelle glanced over, her nerves showing. "Antonio, I'm feeling a bit anxious."

Antonio took her hand in reassurance. "Take it easy. I'll be right here for you."

Antonio bent down to help her with her dress, making sure she had a clear path.
