Chapter 78 

288 

Grace had been by Antonio’s side for ten years, and she’d heard every kind of sneer and taunt there was. She was past being bothered by them. 

She was trying to think of something to say when Devin, standing right there with her, didn’t back down but met Antonio’s gaze straight on. 

“Antonio, what you said isn’t right. In the Hudson family, we believe everyone is equal. There’s no hierarchy. Grace and I are a perfect match, and she’s no longer tied to the Kaufman family. You’re way out of line. Is this how you were brought up?” 

Antonio was left speechless, his face turning red from embarrassment. 

He clenched his fists, his face twisted in anger. 

His buddies, sensing things were getting ugly, hurried over to pull him away. 

With his anger boiling over, Antonio hurled harsh words at Grace. “If you marry him today, don’t ever step into the Kaufman’s place again!” 

Under his furious glare, Grace nodded gently, a faint smile on her lips. “Mr. Kaufman, don’t worry. It’s a given.” 

Hearing her faint voice, Antonio felt like his efforts were in vain as if he was hitting a wall of fluff.

With a dark look, he gave her one last, long look, then pushed past everyone, and stormed off. 

The waiters quickly cleaned up the mess, and Devin breathed a sigh of relief. 

After explaining to the guests and signaling for the party to go on, he helped Grace to the back. 

With the onlookers gone, it was just the two of them, a couple still finding their footing with each other. 

Grace’s face was etched with regret as she met Devin’s gaze, her voice heavy with apologies. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know he’d cause such a scene at the wedding. It’s all my…” 

Devin shook his head, his expression warm and kind again. 

“He’s from the Kaufman family. If he wants to cause trouble, I can’t exactly stop him. What can you do? We’re married and we will face this together. It’s over, so don’t feel guilty or blame yourself.” 

Grace knew it was all connected to her, but she couldn’t shake the feeling. 

“If it hadn’t been for me, things wouldn’t have gotten this out of hand. With so many people at the wedding and all this chaos, I bet Mr. and Mrs. Hudson are really upset.” 

Seeing her still upset, Devin handed her a glass of water and then put his arm around her, comforting her softly, “Still calling them Mr. and Mrs. Hudson? My parents are kind and 

understanding. They’d only blame the Kaufman family and feel sorry for you, their new daughter–in-law. Don’t worry. I’m here for

you.”

Taking a few sips of water, Grace started to regain her composure. To keep him from fretting, she let the matter drop. 

Devin put the glass on the table and squatted down to hold her ankle. 

“Did you hurt yourself when you fell? Those heels are sky–high. Did you twist your ankle?” 

Grace was surprised he noticed such a small detail and was momentarily stunned. 

Devin grabbed some tissues, gently wiping away the dirt from her leg. 

Then, lifting her wedding dress slightly, he saw the large scar. His voice was filled with concern. “When did you get this injury? Was it the day you were looking at houses? I heard a car on the phone. Did you have a car accident?” 

Grace wanted to deny it, but seeing the look on his face, she didn’t want to lie to him. 

“Yes, but it’s almost healed. It doesn’t hurt at all.” 

Seeing her force a smile, Devin felt even more distressed. 

He let her wedding dress fall back into place and then helped her to a seat. After sending a message to his assistant, he placed her high heels to the side.
