Chapter 27
“There was nothing to talk about.”
I forcefully shook off his hand, feeling annoyed in my heart.
However, he persisted and stood in front of me, with a hint of madness in his eyes.
“Wife, I know I was wrong, but I really can’t be without you. Give me one more chance, please?”
I looked at him, and a cold smile crossed my
mind.
“Antonio, how many times do I have to say it, there was absolutely no possibility between us.”
I said coldly and walked past him towards the door.
He suddenly rushed over, and hugged me tightly, with such a strong force that I couldn’t catch my breath.
I struggled desperately, but he held on tightly, muttering in his mouth.
“You couldn’t leave, you couldn’t leave… If you insisted on getting a divorce, then we would die together.”
My heart tightened, realizing that he had really gone mad.
No, I had to find a way to leave here.
My hand quietly reached into the pocket and dialed Charlie’s number from memory.

Now I can only pray that he could hear the noise from this side and come to rescue me.
“Antonio, calm down.”
I tried to keep my voice steady, attempting to buy some time.
But he, as if he hadn’t heard, held onto me tightly and kept talking in his mouth.
“We couldn’t separate, couldn’t separate…”
I dealt with him while listening to the noise outside the door.
Time passed by minute by minute, and my back had already been soaked with cold sweat.
He tightened his grip on me, exerting more and more force, even reaching for my neck, as if he was ready to strangle me at any moment.
Suddenly, there came a series of hurried footsteps from outside the door, followed by a loud bang – the door was kicked open.
Charlie rushed in, still holding a baseball bat in his hand.
He saw the scene in the room, his face darkened, and without saying a word, he swung towards Antonio.
Antonio was caught off guard and was struck on the shoulder by a stick, causing him to release his grip in pain.
I took the opportunity to break free and hid behind Charlie.
“Are you okay?”

Charlie turned his head and asked me, his eyes filled with
worry.
I shook my head; my heart had not calmed down yet.
Antonio covered his shoulder, glaring fiercely at Charlie.
“You ruined my good thing again!”
Charlie sneered and pointed the baseball bat at Antonio.
“If you dare to touch her again, give it a try.”

Antonio wanted to say something, but when he saw the look in Charlie’s eyes, he ultimately didn’t dare to move again.
He gritted his teeth and slammed the door as he turned away.
The room finally quieted down, and I let out a long breath, my legs went weak, and I almost sat on the ground.
Charlie quickly grabbed hold of me and asked in a soft voice, “Should we call the police?”
I shook my head.
“Never mind, I didn’t want to get entangled with him anymore.”
And the trial was about to begin, if he were to be detained for a few more days at this time, the matter would be further delayed for a few more days.
He nodded, didn’t say anything more, just gently patted my shoulder.
“Let’s go, I will walk you home.”

Luckily, with him around, otherwise I really don’t know what today would have turned into.
On the day of the trial, Bonnie’s body was still weak, but she insisted on appearing in court.
I accompanied her, feeling a bit nervous.
In the courtroom, Antonio’s attitude was extremely arrogant.
He not only refused to admit guilt, but also attempted to find various excuses to exonerate himself.
He even bit back in court, claiming that Bonnie and I conspired to deliberately defame him.
“Your Honor, all of this was designed by them!”
Antonio pointed at me and Bonnie, his tone filled with anger.
“Grace, out of love turned to hatred, must have bribed Bonnie to frame me!”
