Chapter 563


    Grace watched Allison, her eyes instantly brimming with tears. “Allie, are you okay? Did Mom cause


    you trouble? I know it’s my fault. I’ve dragged you down. If it weren’t for me, you’d be living a better life


    right now. It’s all my fault. You’ve sacrificed too much for me.”


    Allison’s gaze was icy as she faced Grace’s emotional outburst. Her demeanor was detached. Grace


    realized that the rtionship between her and Allison could never go back to the way they were.


    Wiping away her tears, she felt the crushing weight of the malicious onlinements suffocating her.


    However, seeing that Allison was unharmed relieved her greatly.


    “What are you doing here?” Allison asked tly


    Grace stammered, “I… I just missed you, worried about you. I want to see how you are.”


    “I’m fine. You can go back now. I’ll have my bodyguard take you home.” Allison turned to leave,


    gripping the door handle. She added, “From now on, don’te looking for me here. What if I’m not


    here? Are you going to wait forever? If there’s something you need, have the housekeeper message


    my agent. I’ll respond.”


    Grace watched Allison’s retreating figure. “I… I didn’t know if you’de. I was just so worried about


    you. I saw those nastyments onlinest night and it was unbearable. Penelope called me. She


    was worried about you, and she said you might being to Epic Entertainment today, so I thought I’d


    try my luck at seeing you.”


    A chill crossed Allison’s face. She spun around, a mocking smile on her lips. “Penelope told you?”


    Grace, not wanting to deepen any rift between Allison and Penelope, quickly said, “Don’t me


    Penelope. I asked her myself. Penelope is just concerned about you.”


    “Concerned about me? Howughable, Ms. Grace. You say Penelope with such affection. Right, I


    forgot, Penelope is your real daughter, so it’s only natural you believe her.”


    “I… Allie, I’m really worried about you.”


    “Worried about what? That I’ll be killed by thements online? That I can’t handle it and will seek


    death?”


    Despite Allison’s harsh words, Grace humbly replied, “Allie, it’s all Mom’s fault. I made a terrible


    mistake, letting Penelope take over your life. I realize my error now, and I’ll find a way to set things

    right, to give back the life that belongs to you. I know, these past few years, you’ve given up so much


    for my illness.” The thought of those photos online brought tears to Grace’s eyes again. “It’s all my


    fault. If it weren’t for my illness, you wouldn’t have to sell your body for money.”


    Allison was shocked as she exhaled deeply. This breath had been trapped in her chest, making it feel


    like it was about to burst. She looked at Grace, and saw the silver strands hidden in her dark hair. She


    saw her withered and sallow face from the kidney disease, her frail body, and her simple clothes. She


    watched her mother apologize frantically, like a headless fly.


    Her heart was suddenly filled with an indescribable emotion. It was just agonizing.


    “You’re thinking too much. It wasn’t to save you,” Allison said. “Ms. Grace, listen to me, the woman in


    those photos isn’t me. It’s your dear daughter Penelope!”


    Grace’s body shook violently. Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at Allison.
