Chapter 13
In Elmeburg…
After Antonio saw that self–portrait, he began frantically searching for a photo of the daughter of the Simpson family. However, he found none on the Internet.
He didn’t believe that anyone could draw a self–portrait with light blue butterflies as Grace did.
Prior to this, he had sent people to find the doctors who performed the surgery on Grace and Lucile that day. But later, he was told that all of those doctors and nurses had resigned and left Elmeburg that night.
He keenly sensed that something was off.
Lucile was not blind, which meant that the doctors and nurses who treated her were all part of her scheme.
Even that surgery was fishy.
Lucile didn’t need a corneal transplant. Then what were those doctors. doing during the two hours in the operating room that day?
How did Grace die?
Or did Grace really die?
Why did the Parrish family rush to cremate Grace and scatter her ashes at
that time?
Antonio was so puzzled.
He originally wanted to take action against the Parrish family. But at that

time, he was too sad and was completely not in the mood to crash them.
Now, after thinking everything through, he suddenly realized that the Parrish family must play a key role in Grace’s “death“.
They must know something.
But when Antonio showed up at the Parrish’s house, Eloy and Silvia thought that he was here to pick up Lucile, so they warmly welcomed him.
“Antonio, don’t be mad at Lucile. She has told us everything. Well… She indeed did something wrong, but you have to understand her. She’s been through a lot over the years, and it’s normal that she’ll get jealous of her.
for that surgery…”
As
Hearing them mention that surgery, Antonio slammed all the evidence onto the table, snapping, “I can temporarily ignore those trifles, but not that surgery! That’s an intentional murder!”
“What… What do you mean?”
“Lucile wasn’t blind. Why did you insist on having that corneal transplantation surgery? And why were you in such a hurry to cremate Grace? Did you really wish her rest in peace? Or were you afraid of me finding anything fishy?”
Silvia was stunned and turned to look at Eloy, only to find that he was in
the same state.
They were confused by Antonio’s words.
After all, from what they had seen, Lucile was indeed blind in the past. half a month.
Eloy took those files. After reading them all, he threw them back on the table, gritting his teeth. “We… We didn’t know… But please, Lucile has

really suffered a lot. For her sake, please don’t…”
But Antonio didn’t hear him out. He directly went upstairs and kicked open Lucile’s door.
As Lucile was standing nervously by the door just now, after the door was kicked open, she directly fell to the ground. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes due to the pain. She looked at Antonio pitifully. “Antonio…”
But Antonio was glaring at her with fury, snapping, “I thought you were just trying to draw my attention because you had been through a lot of hardships. I’ve never expected that you would be so malicious! You lied to me, pretending to be blind and forcing me to ask Grace to give you her
comeas!”
He lifted Lucile by her collar, continuing, “Lucile, don’t you try to fool me again. I’ve known about the trade you made with those doctors. You killed Grace!”
Antonio’s fierce look really scared Lucile. She shivered with fear, still wanting to deny it. “Antonio, it’s not what you think… I can explain…”
“No! Lucile, I won’t believe a single word you say. Never!”
With that, Antonio waved his hand, and a bodyguard walked up from behind, dragging Lucile out.
Lucile panicked. “Antonio… Antonio, where are you taking me?”
“Prison.”
He was going to send Lucile to prison.
Lucile widened her eyes in shock. “What? Antonio…”
“You killed Grace. You should be sent to prison.”
Antonio’s face was gloomy, and his tone was icy cold when he said so.
This made Lucile’s heart sink.
Lucile knew Grace didn’t die. But originally, she didn’t wanna tell Antonio because she didn’t want him to find that bitch. But now, fear made her change her mind.
She knew that this time, Antonio really wanted to torture her to death. She became afraid.
Therefore, when she passed by him, she shouted, “Antonio, Grace is not dead! She was the one behind that surgery! She’s fallen in love with someone else, so she wanted to leave you! That’s why she faked her death!”
