The village chief found Grace with a worried expression on his face, his voice filled with urgency.
"Cierra, it's not good, the Kaufman Group is withdrawing their investment."
"They also had to do tourism development, and the higher-ups said the elementary school had to be demolished
to make way for the project.”
The chalk in Grace's hand dropped with a "thud", she couldn't believe Antocould be so disgusting, to go this
far.
If the school was demolished, where would the children go to study in the future?
The village chief sighed helplessly, furrowing his brow.
"Cierra, go and ask Mr. Kaufman if there is any room for compromise."
Grace gritted her teeth and wanted to go talk to Zackery first to discuss a plan.
But he disappeared without a trace, as if evaporated from the earth.
"Zackery, where did you go? How could you disappear at a tlike this?"
Grace dialed Zackery's phone number while muttering to herself. In the receiver, there was only a cold dial tone,

Grace ran around the village, asking everyone who might know Zackery's whereabouts, but all she received were
shaking heads and bewildered looks.
Her heart sank gradually, and an unprecedented sense of helplessness enveloped her tightly.
Grace hurriedly arrived at Antonio's company, pushed open the door, and tried hard to calm herself down.
Antonio's confidence in winning only fueled her anger.
"Antonio, what exactly do you want? Do you know what this school means to the children?"
Antolifted his head and his gaze lingered on Grace's face for a moment, but his tone was very cold.
"Grace, this was a business decision. There was unique natura scenery here, and developing it into a tourist
destination could bring enormous economic benefits."
"The land over here originally belonged to me, whether to give it to you or not, whether to build a school or not,
it is also my decision."
Grace heard the words and a mixture of anger and sadness filled her heart.
"Antonio, how could you be so despicable!"
Antonio's cold expression cracked a little.
Desperate, but he had no other choice. She saw the
determination in Grace's eyes, and he was afraid he would

Even if | beca villain, it would be good to keep her by my
side.
Having gathered his thoughts, Antospoke.
"I only knew that | wanted you to cback. It was the only way to save the school."
Grace stormed out of the door in anger, but she didn't see Antostaring at her back, his eyes filled with pain.
As the date of demolition drew closer, Grace found herself in a desperate situation.
The innocent and pure smiles of the children kept appearing in her mind, and their eager eyes filled with thirst
for knowledge tore her heart apart.
Zackery could not be reached, even though she had reported to the police, it was of no use.
After countless sleepless nights, Grace finally made a decision.
She cbefore Antoagain, with a numb expression.
"Antonio, | promised you that | would go with you. You must keep your promise and save the school, don't let the
children miss out on their education."

Antonio's lips curled slightly upwards, while a barely noticeable sadness lingered in his eyes.
"Don't worry, as long as you are by my side, | will do what | say."

Grace got in the car, she didn't know if her choice was right, and she didn't know what kind of future was waiting
for her.
But at this moment, in order for the children to continue their education, she was willing to sacrifice herself and
step into this unknown "trap".
And there was Zackery...
She closed her eyes, almost unable to suppress the worries in her heart.
Why would Zackery easily abandon these children when he considered education so important?
Where did he go exactly? Did something unexpected happen to him?
Grace opened her eyes and looked at Antonio.
She wanted to ask Antonio, but in the end, she never spoke
