Chapter 29
Zackery had just left, and his fiancée Evelyn walked into the coffee shop with her head held high, heading straight to Grace’s table. her eyes filled with disdain and hostility.
“Hey, who do I see? It turns out to be you, the jinx.
Evelyn’s voice was sharp and piercing, breaking the tranquility of the coffee shop, and people around turned their curious gazes towards her.
Grace frowned, a surge of anger welling up inside her, but she still made an effort to restrain herself, not wanting to engage in a conflict with Evelyn in a public setting.
Grace’s voice turned cold.
“Evelyn, keep your mouth clean.”
Evelyn, however, did not agree and sneered.
“What, did I say something wrong? You know it yourself, you are a jinx who brought death to your own daughter and grandmother. If Zackery is with you, he will eventually meet the same fate.”
Grace’s face turned pale instantly, and those painful memories flooded her mind all at once.
She angrily stood up and slapped Evelyn with all her strength.
The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the coffee shop, and people around were discussing and taking photos.
Evelyn covered her face, a hint of malice flashed in her eyes.

“Fine, you dared to hit me, you despicable person, I won’t let you off”
After saying that, she glared at Grace fiercely and then turned around and left.
Grace watched as Evelyn walked away, a sense of foreboding welling up in her heart.
She actually just let it go so easily, could it be that there is a bigger conspiracy.
Grace was restless as she prepared to home.

However, just as he reached a secluded alley, he was stopped by several unfamiliar men.
Grace was surprised.
“Who were you? What did you want to do?”
One of them, with blonde hair, had a mischievous grin on his face.
“Hmph, it doesn’t matter who we are, what matters is that someone paid us to teach you a lesson.”
“She was quite pretty, but it was a pity that her face got scratched. How about having some fun with us brothers first?”
Grace immediately understood that this must be the person sent by Evelyn.
She turned around and tried to run, but she was quickly grabbed by several men and dragged into a small alley.
“Let go of me, help me!”
Grace struggled desperately, but her strength was ultimately limited

and she couldn’t break free.
“What were you doing? Let her go!”
It was Zackery, tears streaming down the faces of both Zackery and Grace, when Zackery’s bodyguard also rushed forward to fight against those men.
Zackery rushed to Grace’s side and held her tightly in his arms.
“Grace, are you okay? Did you get hurt?”
“Didn’t I ask you to wait for me at the coffee shop?”
Grace lowered her head and remained silent.
Zackery looked at Grace with a heartache, feeling full of guilt.
“I’m sorry, Grace. It’s all my fault for making you suffer.”
“You must have had something urgent, and I didn’t think it through.” However, at that moment, Zackery’s phone suddenly rang.
He took out his phone and looked at it. It was a text message that said, “Zackery, Grace is going abroad. Is it worth defying your parents for her?”
Zackery looked at Grace.
“Are you going abroad?”
Grace felt a pang in her heart, which she couldn’t explain at the
moment.
She could only hold back her tears and pretend to be indifferent. “Zackery, it is no longer possible between us. You should be with

Evelyn and I don’t want to continue this entanglement anymore.”
“You see, whenever I was with you, it was either being kidnapped or being insulted. I had had enough!”
“Your parents, your circle, simply couldn’t accept a woman like me who had been divorced and had children.”
Zackery tightly grasped Grace’s shoulders, his eyes filled with hurt.
“Grace, they were all not important, as long as you loved me, believed in me, and didn’t leave, okay?”
Grace forcefully pushed Zackery.
“I also had something I wanted to pursue.”
Without hesitation, he turned around and left after speaking.
Zackery stood still, staring at Grace’s departing figure.
If you had your pursuit, then what qualification do I have to keep you? Grace.
