Please Let Me Go

Chapter 177 They Had Different Purposes

It seemed that Hermosa worked against him. Ignoring his words, Hermosa stretched out her hand and

tried to push Antonio away. Unexpectedly, she almost fell down. Antonio reacted quickly and supported

Hermosa. Being torn between his wife and granny for the first time, Antonio felt bewildered and deep

helpless.

"Granny, will you listen to me?"

Antonio curbed his temper and pressed his temple again.

Adelaide hid behind him, but was not in a better mood than him. In order not to let others bully her

endlessly, she pretended to be strong. With a smile, she still stood on the steps looking down on

Hermosa and Antonio, as if she were watching a play.

Her reaction angered Hermosa again. Antonio had quelled her anger slightly just now, but her anger

flared up without a sign when she looked into Adelaide's eyes.

Hermosa pointed at her and cursed, "You're really shameless!"

Adelaide raised an eyebrow, as if in agreement with Hermosa's words. She looked more frivolous with

this playful and disdainful reaction.

Antonio separated Hermosa and Adelaide in time. He helped Hermosa to the living room while secretly

motioned to Adelaide not to show flippant attitude again. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"Granny, calm down. You've mistaken Adelaide over this issue!" He picked up a banana from the fruit

and peeled it for Hermosa himself. He put on a somewhat stiff smile and it seemed that he tried his

best to dispel Hermosa's suspicion of Adelaide, "Well, I've also received the same photo a couple of

days ago."

He put the banana beside Hermosa's mouth. Although Hermosa was still sullen, she loved Antonio, so

she had no choice but to take a bite. Seeing this, Antonio was much relieved. It was only then that he

squinted his sharp eyes and began to talk slowly about the incident that day.

"That's it. Granny, you really mistake Adelaide!"

Then he got up and took the hand of Adelaide who stood not far away, and they stood in front of

Hermosa like children who had made mistakes, with their heads down and without saying a word,

waiting for her instructions.

Hermosa got up, gave Antonio a glance and said in an even determined voice, "No. If she just had an

affair with someone, it's possible for me to forgive her as long as she break up with that person.

However, someone set a trap for her now. She's an idle rich lady who stays at home all day. What's the

purpose of setting a trap for her?"

After a pause, Hermosa looked at Adelaide with sharp eyes, "Besides, who sent me this photo? Why

did he send it to me? What's his purpose? How many more photos does he have? No way. The Baron

Group can't lose face like this. You must divorce her!"

Her questions not only made Antonio speechless, but also let Adelaide feel the sadness of the wife of a

rich man and think that rich people have no conscience!

Hermosa did mean to use this excuse to force her to divorce. After all, the Swift’s Group no longer

existed and Adelaide had lost the support of her father. Antonio would only lose benefit in this marriage

in the future.

If Adelaide were obedient, it was possible that Hermosa would give her a sum of money that is enough

to cover the expense in the rest of her life because they got along with each other for three years.

Considering the current situation, Hermosa wouldn't give her even a penny!

Adelaide didn't know her shameless thoughts, but she could guess her purpose from what she said.

Adelaide laughed so loudly that tears came out of her eyes. She leaned over and looked at Hermosa,

"Granny, you really want to put me, a thorn in your side, out on the street!"

Hermosa thought that she was out of her control and wanted to find every opportunity to let her go just

because she had told the truth to the detriment of Antonio at a press conference?

Indeed, she was the "Black Widow" who was feared by everyone in the business circles for 30 years.

Faced with choices, she always gave priority to her own interests and the interests of the Baron Group.

If anything was out of her control, she always discarded them.

She continued to stare at Hermosa with a sneer. The expression of her eyes even made Hermosa, who

had been old, trembled all over.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Adelaide, if you’re reasonable, divorce Antonio immediately,

otherwise..." I would take some measures. Hermosa didn’t spoke the latter sentence out, but it was

clear to all the people present.

Hearing this, Adelaide laughed more openly and freely. Then, glaring at Hermosa, she gritted her teeth

and said word by word, "I'm willing to divorce Antonio, but on condition that you give me 20 % of the

shares of the Baron Group." After a pause, she suddenly laughed wickedly, "I also have an 'otherwise'.

Otherwise, I won't divorce Antonio."

The atmosphere was once frozen. Hermosa's face darkened, and Antonio's expression changed

several times in a few seconds as if he was performing. Only Adelaide, who made the request, was in a

good mood.

Antonio acquired the Swift’s Group and maximized his interests at the minimum price, so the

percentage of his shares of the Baron Group had soared. Compared with other shareholders in the

Board of Directors, Antonio became the president of the Baron Group who was really influential and

became the one who made the decisions.

It was exactly because of this that Hermosa dared to bully her without any worries.

"PA!"

With a crisp sound, Hermosa smashed the ceramic cup on the table, then got up and wanted to hit

Adelaide with a cane. Antonio, who stood beside Adelaide, gripped the cane in mid-air first. Worried

that Hermosa would fall down again, he withdrew his hand and ran to her.

"Ivy, take granny home."

As he pushed Hermosa and threw her cane to Ivy, he quickly whispered a word in Hermosa's ear.

Hermosa was frozen in place immediately. She stared at Antonio in disbelief and turned to look at

Adelaide after seeing he nod.

The expression of shock quickly turned into anger. Before she lost her temper, she changed into a

helpless expression and sighed, "Forget it. I'm old, and you don't listen to me. Ivy, go."

Hearing they called her, Ivy, who had been watching, was confused, not knowing what words Antonio

said that could even change Hermosa's mind. However, this was not what she, as a housemaid, should

know. She nodded and ran to Hermosa to help her leave.

Adelaide also didn't know what Antonio had said to change Hermosa's mind. It must be noted that

Hermosa had been determined to drive her away. When she felt puzzled, Antonio's cell phone rang.

Antonio answered the phone, and soon he became sullen and said, "Watch him, and I'll tell you the

decision after I negotiate with other people."

As soon as he finished his words, he hung up the phone and came close to Adelaide. He compressed

his lips, and simply sorted out his thoughts and asked, "Adelaide, I'd found the guy who raped Miss

Hanna. He is a native named Kian White! Shall we let Miss Hanna decide how to deal with him?"

Hearing this, Adelaide was immediately no longer interested in getting to know what he had said to

Hermosa. She clenched her white hand into tight fists. Finally, they found that scum. Adelaide no

longer wore a frivolous expression. Her eyes gleamed with hatred. After Hanna almost died because of

her, how could Adelaide let him off easily?
