Chapter 9
Despicable people were as annoying as flies. Before I could get rid of Antonio, Blanche came to me.
Somehow, she learned I was back in Draenia and came to my door righteously and furiously. Those who didn’t know might think I was her husband’s mistress, and she was here to teach me a lesson.
Behind her was Kendall, who was already twelve years old and over 1.7 meters tall.
Seeing me, Blanche said sternly, “You’re so shameless, Grace. You actually came back?
“I’m Antonio’s wife now. Stay away from him! Don’t get any ideas!”
Displeased, Kendall clicked her tongue and then elbowed Blanche.
I called the security skillfully again and said to Blanche coldly, “You’re perfect for Antonio, that scumbag.
“You’re the only woman in this world who wants to be with him.
“And of course, you’re no better than him.”
Blanche sneered. Her features were no longer as delicate as back then.
It seemed the seven years of marriage had worn her out.
She said sarcastically, “Have some self–knowledge, Grace. You’re just a bumpkin who got kicked out by the Kaufman family. Who gave you the nerve to put on airs?”

Suddenly, Kendall chimed in, ridiculing Blanche with disgust, “Shut up!
“Enough already.
“You’re just a lunatic whose husband never comes home. Stop humiliating yourself.”
The look on Kendall’s face was so familiar. Seven years ago, I saw the exact same look on her face whenever she was talking to me.
She poked Blanche’s sore spot accurately, and Blanche immediately scratched Kendall’s arm with her nails.
With tears streaming down her face, Blanche complained, saying she had painstakingly taken care of Kendall for seven years.
Her grating cries seriously disrupted our work.
As the security finally arrived, I said impatiently, “Get these two out. From now on, they’re not allowed to set foot in here without my permission.
Blushing slightly, Kendall shook the security’s hands away angrily and walked over to me, commanding matter–of–factly, “Grace, come back to the Kaufman’s house together with me. I’ve invited a five–star chef to prepare a welcome dinner for you.”
As I looked at Kendall’s face, which bore some resemblance to Antonio’s, I couldn’t help but sigh she inherited his confidence.
After seven years, she still thought she had a special place in my heart.
But she was wrong.
In my previous life, she hated me, loathed me, insulted me, and even killed me with deadly poison.

I struggled helplessly and died while she was watching me. It was the kind of tragedy that no one could withstand, and after that, of course, I would no longer have any affection for her.
I said, “Dream on” and then left, not even glancing at Kendall.
Then I had someone contact Antonio to take Blanche and Kendall away.
Also, I told the security that none of these three was allowed to set foot in the studio ever again. The security had my permission to drive them away at any time.
Kendall was stunned.
She panicked as if finally realizing I had given up on Antonio and her totally.
She even called me “Mom“.
Seeing this, Antonio scolded me for being ruthless.
He tried to morally kidnap me, and I heard anger, disappointment, and even a slight trace of pleading in his voice.
“Grace, how could you change so much? It’s only been seven years. Don’t you care about us anymore?
“You have no idea how much we’ve missed you and what we’ve done for you…”
They were the ones who failed me first, yet he was accusing me of changing and letting them down.
I nodded and said flatly, “You’re right, Antonio. I no longer give a damn about you.
“We’re discussing a project worth 1 million dollars here.

“If you continue to disrupt us, I might have to call the police.”
Finally, Antonio left with his family, looking completely disheartened.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
