I turned to look at Grandma's grave and took a deep breath.

I didn't want to swear in front of her.

"Matt Williams, if you missed the text message, let me say it again-

"Let's break up!"

Matt's eyes widened, looking at me incredulously, his brows furrowing even deeper.

He remained silent for a while, then angrily questioning me.

"Mona Morris, isn't it just that I didn't come to pick you up that day? Do you have to throw a tantrum like this?

"I've explained it to you clearly. There's nothing going on between Addie and me. She has always been afraid of the dark. That night, we were just..."

I sneered incessantly.

It seemed that my sneer hurt the guilty Matt.

He got even angrier and held my shoulder. "What are you laughing at?"

I restrained all my laughter and stared at him coldly.

"Matt Williams, I used to love you, but don't take me for a fool. Ask yourself. Do really nothing happen between you two?

"You are my boyfriend. If she's afraid of the dark, why can't she find someone else to accompany her instead of you?"

It was just her sophistry, trying to deceive others, but in the end, he deceived himself as well.

Matt frowned and looked at me like I was being unreasonable.

"Mona Morris, can you stop being so willful? Your Grandma can rely on you, but Addie just returned not long ago, and she can only rely on me."

I sneered and broke free from his hand indifferently.

I didn't want to waste any more time with him, nor did I want to say anything too much in front of Grandma's grave.

Matt saw that I wasn't causing a scene, and his brow relaxed.

He thought that I would be pacified by his words just like before, and quickly calm down, but I turned around and walked away without any hesitation.

When Matt saw that I had walked a long distance, he started to panic and his attitude softened.

"Mona, it's my fault, I wasn't considerate enough.

"If a situation like that happens again, I'll ask my assistant, Lucy, to accompany her, and I'll stay at home to keep you company, okay?"

I still ignored him.

Matt became anxious. He has never had a good temper, and he directly shouted at my back.

"I've already apologized, what else do you want?!"

"I'm tired. Don't follow me."

I had not taken several steps away when I felt dizzy, my legs went weak, and I fainted right away.

When I woke up, the first thing I saw was Matt's surprised expression.

"Mona, you finally woke up!"

I looked around and realized that I was in the hospital.

Matt explained to me that I had suddenly fainted due to overwork and hypoglycemia.

He had an affectionate look and attempted to hold my hand, but I deftly dodged it.

A hint of embarrassment crossed his face.

"I'm fine, there's no need to stay in the hospital. Let me check out today."

Since I had already decided to break up, I didn't want to owe Matt anything anymore.

Failed to dissuade me, he checked out of the hospital for me.

At the entrance of the hospital, Matt hesitated for a moment. "Mona, is your Grandma in this hospital? I'm really sorry for not driving her to the hospital. If she is here, I want to see her and apologize."

Grandma...

I lowered my head, wishing that Grandma was still in the hospital.

How I wish Grandma was still alive.

Unfortunately, she had already been laid to rest.

"No need."

Matt insisted on taking me home. I originally wanted to refuse, but I remembered that I still had some things to pack up at his place.

So I decided to take the opportunity to pack everything up and never see him again.

But halfway there, I suddenly received a call from Auntie Kelly, Grandma's neighbor.

"Mona! Hurry back, a group of people is going to dig up your Grandma's grave with an excavator!"

"What?"

"These money-minded businessmen insist on developing this area into a tourist zone."

Grandma!

I was immediately anxious and asked Matt to turn to the countryside.

Although Matt didn't know what I was going to do, he readily agreed when he heard my request.

When we arrived, Addie was sitting under a tree, with an outdoor umbrella above her head, looking relaxed and comfortable, as if on vacation.

"Dig up that whole area and cut down all the trees."

Addie ordered the construction team, and they drove the excavator, about to destroy Grandma's grave.

No!

I rushed over.

Matt's panicked voice sounded behind me. "Don't go over, Mona. It's dangerous!"

The excavator was right next to me. The tall trees that were dug up were swaying and occasionally dropping chunks of soil.

No one dared to approach.

But Grandma's grave stood there alone.

And it was being destroyed by these people.

"Get lost! All of you, get lost!"

I couldn't care about anything else and started roaring.

Addie just looked at me coldly and didn't show any intention of stopping the construction team.

Matt walked over with a frown.

"Stop!" Addie shouted nervously.

She frowned at me. Her look was full of indifference.

"Mona Morris, it's because I'm mannered that I treated you politely before. This land doesn't belong to you. You have no right to stop us."

"If you want to continue, kill me first!"

Seeing me guarding the land with tears streaming down my face, Addie sneered and said, "Why are you crying? If people didn't know any better, they would think I'm bullying you."

Addie's despicable face was extremely provocative.

She raised her foot to kick Grandma's tombstone. Unable to bear it any longer, I angrily pushed her away.

Addie couldn't maintain her balance and fell to the ground.

"Matt, she pushed me..."

Matt quickly helped Addie up with concern, "Addie, are you okay?"

Addie's eyes turned red, with a few tears squeezed out.

Matt frowned and looked at me as if I had committed some unforgivable mistake.

"Mona, you knocked Addie down, apologize to her!"
