Chapter 3
I liked photography not because I still had feelings for Antonio.
Actually, after I read that farewell letter in my previous life, my love for him had already ended.
It was just that after I was reborn, I found that all my money had already been spent on photography equipment.
As I couldn’t sell them, I could only use them myself.
Unexpectedly, I found myself actually loving photography.
But this time, I was doing it out of my own interest, not for someone else.
Coming back from my thoughts, I politely rejected Antonio’s kindness, my tone calm and distant, “No need. It’s enough to cover my living expenses. Thank you for your concern. anyway.”
But a hint of anger flashed across Antonio’s face as he snapped at me, “Fine! Remember, it’s you who turned down my favor yourself. Don’t come and beg me for help in the future!”
I didn’t retort.
Nor did I tell him that my photography works were now specifically supplied to several national–level publishers and top overseas publishers.

The various copyright fees I received were not lower than. Antonio’s income.
But I guessed even if I told him, he would probably think I was bluffing.
After all, my wrinkled pajamas indeed made me look a bit. shabby.
Well, I’d say this was the fault of my son, Felix Crowley. He insisted on me accompanying him to go play in the sandpit. But he slipped downstairs when I wasn’t looking.
I immediately went down to look for him without even changing my pajamas.
Just as I wanted to excuse myself, the waiter seemed to have noticed something.
He pointed at my pajamas and exclaimed, “It’s famous–brand pajamas! Where did you get this piece of clothing? Are you a cleaner here? Did you steal it from one of our guests?”
Hearing his false accusation, I couldn’t help but frown, asking back, “Can’t they be my own pajamas?”
But Queenie sneered at the side, “Your pajamas? You can’t even afford them, can you?
“Rich people won’t dress so casually and run around like you.”
Then, she covered her nose and said exaggeratedly, “They look dirty. You didn’t wash them before putting them on?”
Antonio also looked at me with a deep frown.
“Grace, what else do you have to say? Just admit it. It’s not a

I didn’t want to waste my time arguing with them, so I turned to the waiter and said directly, “If you think I stole them, then you can call the police.”
I knew he accused me only because he found out that Queenie disliked me. He just wanted to curry favor with her.
As I expected, the waiter looked less confident now and muttered, “If it weren’t for that I didn’t want to disturb the big shot here today, I’d have already called the police to arrest you.”
Queenie’s eyes suddenly lit up as she piped up, “It’s Mr. Crowley, right?
“I heard that he and his family have come to Seaville for a holiday. And this hotel is where they stay for the night.”
Antonio nodded with expectations in his eyes.
He sighed, “If our project can get the support from the Crowley family, it’ll be great.”
The mention of Mr. Crowley caused a heated discussion among the crowd.
“Isn’t this the reason we’re here for this banquet today? To meet Mr. Crowley! This whole building is his family property!”
“I heard that he was married in his early twenties. I wonder which lady was so lucky to be his wife.”
While the people were discussing, the lobby manager rushed in sweating profusely, followed by a team of security guards.

“Sorry, but has anyone seen a seven–year–old boy anywhere? He’s about this high,” the manager asked while gesturing.
With that, he wiped his sweat and looked eagerly around the hall.
Seeing this scene, someone quickly reacted and guessed, “Are you looking for Mr. Crowley’s son? I know he’s about seven years old this year.”
Hearing this information, the people in the hall immediately moved and started looking for Felix.
To them, it was a chance to get some connections with the Crowley family.
Antonio and Queenie also started looking around and completely ignored me.
Looking at the bustling hall, I directly turned and walked to the dessert area.
As I expected, there, I found Felix, whose face was covered in
cream.
With a cold face, I reached out and said to him, “Come here.”
Felix was startled and immediately held onto the leg of the table, refusing to come to me.
“No.”
Just as I was about to pull him over, Queenie suddenly rushed over and stood in front of Felix, facing me.
She shouted righteously, “Grace, what are you doing?

“Even if you want to butter up the Crowley family, you don’t have to hurt a kid!”
Antonio had also rushed over, and his gaze towards me was filled with disappointment.
“Grace, I didn’t expect that you would do such a despicable thing just for your fame and fortune!”
At this time, the waiter reported to the manager, “It’s this
woman!
“She barged into the banquet hall, and she also stole our customer’s things!”
The manager’s face instantly turned serious as he called the security guards.
“Catch that thief and take her to the police! Don’t let her hurt the young Mr. Crowley!”
Seeing this scene, Queenie smirked and then bent down a little, showing a gentle smile to Felix.
She coaxed, “It’s OK now. Come here. I’ll protect you.”
But Felix completely ignored her. Under everyone’s shocked gaz
