The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio) novel Chapter 291

Chapter291

Antonio scolded, "Grace, you've been a spoiled brat for as long as I can remember, and I'm sick of it.

"Michelle earned that award fair and square. You're accusing her of stealing your work, but where's your proof? If you can't prove it, you're just throwing baseless accusations."

"Grace, I promise I didn't take your design.

"You've never liked me. How could I have even gotten near your computer?

Tyler, looking shifty, couldn't meet my eyes.

At this point, it was as clear as day what was going on.

"Grace, take a look at yourself.” Antonio looked down at me with a superior air.

He flicked the red bracelet in my direction, and it fell at my feet.

"I'd rather break it into a million pieces than let that woman's daughter have it," I spat out, not caring who knew how I felt.

Tyler's face flickered with a mix of embarrassment and anger. "Grace, don't be so hostile toward Michelle.”
