Chapter 4
“Is it because I haven’t been spending time with you lately? Even if you’re in a bad mood, you still need to behave. You can’t keep throwing tantrums. You should be kind and gentle because that’s what I like, do you understand?”
The oppressive aura of authority came at me, the air thick with its presence. The tone, so high and mighty, made By- ron, Andrew, and Bryce frown as they stood nearby.
But neither of them dared to speak. They all knew how much I adored Antonio.
In my previous life, I would fulfill every one of Antonio’s requests unconditionally.
A loud “smack” echoed in the huge and lavish dining hall, mixed with my laughter.
Antonio was left staring at me in disbelief, his hand pressed against his cheek.
Why did both Chad and Antonio make this expression today?
Was it really that surprising that I slapped them?
Tears almost welled up from the laughter, “Antonio, are you teaching me how to do things? Hahaha! Does a lowly il- legitimate son think he can teach the legitimate heir of the Parrish Group? My father wouldn’t even dare to order me around, who do you think you are?!”
Antonio’s expression shifted slightly.
I stared at him and reached out to pat his cheek with even more disdain.
“You better behave like a good dog and make me happy. Maybe I’ll throw you a bone or two.
“But you expect me to listen to you and become kind and gentle, just because that’s what you like?
“I’m about to die laughing. Do you think your affection is worth anything? My father is Jordan Parrish! Have you for- gotten?”
Antonio’s face darkened completely.
A rare panic flashed across his features.
Yes, Antonio had forgotten.
My affection had made Antonio forget how ruthless and decisive my father was, and how incredibly powerful he could be.
It had also made Antonio forget that as the sole daughter, I was to inherit the entire Parrish family empire.
I wiped my hands, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Antonio rushed forward, grabbed my arm, and started throwing a question, “Gracie, what’s wrong…”

Having had a high and mighty attitude for too long, Antonio had forgotten how to court my favor. And now, he didn’t even know how to continue speaking.
Another loud slap rang out, sending Antonio’s head to the side.
“Get lost. My family will inform the Kaufman family to cancel the engagement.”
