Chapter 7
After that talk, Antonio never came to bother me again.
But Bruce asked me about it a few times, looking like he had some opinions against my ex.
He was a jealous husband. I told him about what happened at the park that day and said a lot of sweet words to him before he finally let go of it.
Not long after, I heard that Antonio’s company went bankrupt.
Only then did I find that Queenie got addicted to gambling without letting Antonio know?
She had already developed various bad habits before. After she got rich, she became even more rebellious.
Antonio had always been very indulgent towards her. He even handed over the company’s finance department to her at her
request.
But that was what led to the tragedy.
Some people had targeted Queenie, a nouveau riche, long ago and set a trap for her.
Last time, because of me, Antonio had a fight with Queenie. To vent her negative emotions, Queenie directly went to the
casino.
After getting drunk, she lost all her money through gambling.

She was afraid to let Antonio know about it, so she embezzled the company’s fund, hoping that she could win that money back at the casino.
However, things didn’t go as she had expected.
She lost all her money again.
It wasn’t until the company ran out of funds that Antonio discovered this.
But it was already too late.
Because at that time, Antonio had already married Queenie, those debts became joint debts of the couple.
When I went to a banquet with Bruce, I heard someone
mention this..
One of them sighed, “Well, Antonio is a young and promising talent. Now, his hard work and future have all been ruined by the woman he chose. How pathetic.”
Another person remarked, “Yeah. I heard that his wife is also a prostitute. Whenever she loses money, she goes to some club to trade. The last time Antonio went to find her, she was kicked out by her sugar daddy.”
When Bruce heard this, he couldn’t help but frown.
He might dislike Antonio. But as a man, he also felt a bit of sympathy for him.
“I want to find a lawyer for him to help him get divorced. What do you think?” Bruce asked me.
I nodded and couldn’t help but sigh in my heart,

Antonio got a second chance in life, but this was what he got in the end. I guessed he would regret it even more now.
Later, after Queenie’s sugar daddy beat Antonio hard once again, the lawyer finally helped him get a divorce.
But Antonio also ended up in a hospital.
After getting a bit better, Antonio told me that he wanted to
see me.
Bruce sneered coldly, “I remember it was me who helped him. Why does he want to see you?”
When Bruce accompanied me to visit Antonio in the hospital, he kept a cold face all the time.
He said to Antonio, “We’ve helped you divorce that woman. But don’t expect us to help you pay your debts.”
Antonio lowered his head awkwardly. He hesitated for a while before summoning up the courage to say to Bruce, “Thank you. About what happened before, it was my fault. Sorry. I should’ve kept my distance from Grace. Don’t worry. I won’t ask her to get back together with me anymore.”
He then closed his eyes and said lightly, “I know she loves
you.”
Hearing him say this, I was a little bit stunned. It turned out that after this incident, he had finally thought it through.
“You’ve finally moved on. It’s a good thing,” I said to Antonio.
Antonio tugged at the corners of his mouth. But because of the bruises on his face, his smile looked a bit bitter.

He sighed in a low voice, “Well, one would only realize what they once had after they lost it. I’ve always chased after what I can’t get. In the past, it was Queenie. And now, it’s you.
“But I’ve thought it through. This time, it’s good enough that one of us can have happiness.”
After finishing his words, he turned and left.
Bruce glanced at me and asked lightly, “You don’t walk him out?”
I chuckled and hugged him, saying, “Well, I have to cherish what I have now. And it’s you.”
