Please Let Me Go

Chapter 24 Everything Can Be Faked

Antonio, who was in a fit of anger, saw Hermosa protecting Adelaide several times and snorted coldly,

"Adelaide, grandma is here today. For her sake, I won't blame you this time. Leave here if you dare do

this kind of thing again."

Before Adelaide could speak, Hermosa raised her cane and hit Antonio's arm, "You bastard! I'm not

dead yet. You dare to disobey me now?"

Antonio felt that Hermosa was deceived by Adelaide. Hermosa didn't know how Clarissa attracted

Antonio. They had argued and quarreled several times for the sake of their respective defenders.

Antonio was very obedient at first. But now, he would contradict Hermosa in words. It could be seen

how protective they were.

"Grandma..." Hermosa always called him "bastard" in front of Adelaide, which made Antonio feel

shameless.

Hermosa's face turned ashen with outrage. So, Antonio stopped saying anything.

People in the Baron family seemed to be cold, but were kind inside. It did not matter to Hermosa who

was at such an age. Antonio usually had a cold face, for fear that others would think he was kind. At

this time, they stared at each other and the atmosphere was awkward.

"Grandma, I'm fine. Antonio didn't bully me. Why did you come here alone at noon? Have you had

lunch?"

Adelaide pulled Hermosa aside. Their quarrel made Adelaide feel hurt. In particular, Antonio asked her

to leave in front of Hermosa.

She swallowed hard and only felt bitter as if she had eaten a bitter herb.

"Ivy came with me. I just met with that woman. It is so annoying. Fortunately, it is you who married into

our family." That woman naturally meant Clarissa. Hermosa directly said that she had met Clarissa in

front of Antonio. She might intend to tell Antonio about her conversation with Clarissa by the chance of

talking to Adelaide.

Adelaide was not stupid. She peeked at Antonio, who was still angry, and supported Hermosa to sit on

the bed. Then, she asked, "Grandma, what's the matter? Did Clarissa anger you?"

"I'm angry at the mention of this woman. I told her not to bother you guys. But she didn't listen to me

and scolded me in front of many people in the café!"

Adelaide and Hermosa echoed each other, roughly saying Hermosa's chat content with Clarissa.

Antonio, who was standing besides, became suspicious after listening to Hermosa's words.

He knew Clarissa well. After Adelaide said that she was pregnant, Clarissa immediately said that she

was also pregnant. Besides, Clarissa said that she was anemic. Adelaide had twice failed to get blood

transfusion because of blood phobia. But Clarissa was still energetic the next day. It could be seen that

she was not only smart but also resourceful from the fact that she asked Channing to attack Adelaide

at the banquet. This time, she didn't say clearly that it was Adelaide who egged Hermosa on to force

her to have an abortion. But her words made Antonio mistook Adelaide as the culprit!

What about Adelaide? She never bothered Clarissa. What frightened Antonio most was that every time

he was with Clarissa, he got angry with Adelaide easily!

Could it be that…

He dared not think deeply. He was a little afraid of the answer. Thinking of that he had almost hit

Adelaide impulsively and even asked her to leave, Antonio felt guilty.

He looked up at Adelaide carefully, who was talking to Hermosa. Their eyes suddenly met. They just

tacitly pretended not to see each other.

"Adelaide, why are you still sitting there? Let Damla cook!" Antonio ordered in displeasure, as if he

could look more domineering while speaking with a gloomy face. However, it was this bluff which made

him guiltier!

Adelaide basically would not disobey his words. Even if he took Clarissa home, she did not care. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Hermosa knew that Antonio had heard their conversation. She had thought that Antonio would

apologize to Adelaide or cave in. But she didn't expect that he had been accustomed to speaking and

acting arbitrarily and couldn't bear to apologize as a president.

Hermosa couldn't help but sigh how stubborn Antonio was. She also knew how sensible Adelaide was.

It was because of Adelaide's tolerance that the family was not in a mess. This was why she liked

Adelaide and always favored Adelaide.

"Behave yourself. Adelaide is your wife and not your secretary." Hermosa put on a long face and

reprimanded in a cold voice.

It was indeed his fault for scolding Adelaide without asking the reason. Antonio nodded.

With Hermosa's reminder and Adelaide's forbearance, such farce abated.

However, Clarissa would not give up easily. Where there is a first time, there is a second time.

Hermosa would probably come to her next time. If she couldn't get something to convince Hermosa,

Clarissa was afraid she and Antonio would only be strangers.

Unable to find a way out, Clarissa lost her temper with her mother, Flora Lyndon, at home and argued

with the peddler outside. All day long, she was in an extreme bad mood.

Seeing her coming back, Flora came to greet her. Her face creased with mirth, "Clarissa, I have called

my friend, Arya Lane, this afternoon. Her son works in the hospital."

Clarissa glanced at Flora and did not understand what she meant, "Does it matter to me what Arya's

son does? Can he help me fake it? What's more, I am not pregnant. After ten months, I will also be

exposed."

Clarissa had thought that even if she didn't get pregnant after sleeping with Antonio once, she could

get Antonio drunk and sleep with him again. But she didn't expect that Adelaide was pregnant. She had

no choice but to say she was pregnant too.

Now, Antonio did not sleep with her at all. How could she get pregnant?

Besides, there was an old woman, who always made trouble and bothered her. That old woman,

Hermosa, was at such an age and not afraid of death.

There was nothing which could please her. Clarissa was so angry that she was going crazy. She did

not understand why her mother could be so happy.

"Hey, Clarissa, listen to me. I told Arya that you and your husband did not get along well. He wanted to

marry his mistress. You had no choice but to pretend to be pregnant. But your husband found a lawyer

and said that the child was not his. He wouldn't believe the child was his unless you did a paternity test.

Arya said that she could help you get a fake report."

Flora pulled her and sat on the sofa. She told her daughter the good news she got from her high school

classmates.

Clarissa was overjoyed to hear it, "I can do a paternity test before the baby is born?"

"Yes. Arya heard from her son that the paternity test can be done at 6 weeks of pregnancy."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Flora acted fast. After discussing with Clarissa, she immediately called Arya, who was warm-hearted.

Seeing them playing the martyr role, Arya said that she would help them contact her son.

After hanging up within a few minutes, Arya called again and told them that it was done.

Arya reminded them that if Clarissa was exposed, they could not implicate her son and let her son be

sued. Clarissa and Flora were only interested in the fake report and happily agreed what Arya said.

The day after she got the fake report, Clarissa called Hermosa for an appointment!
