Please Let Me Go
Chapter 22 Vicious Woman

Hermosa had thought Antonio would haul in his horns in front of so many relatives. She let Antonio solve it because she thought Antonio would not let her down. But weren't his words an indirect recognition of Clarissa?

Hermosa looked at Adelaide, who would choose to be wronged to maintain Antonio's image. The more Hermosa thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't hurt Adelaide.

She slapped hard on the sofa with her wrinkled hand, "You bastard, what are you talking about? Our family will never admit the illegitimate child in her belly!" the more she said, the angrier she got. Her chest heaved, "As long as I'm alive, I will never allow her to marry into our family! Not every illegitimate child or mistress can become a master."

Hermosa's words were not only sharp, but also hurt Alvin, who had to force a smile as he gritted his teeth, "Yes. Antonio, quickly apologize to your grandma."

Seeing that Hermosa was really angry, Antonio regretted that he shouldn't have gotten in a rage because of Adelaide and admitted Clarissa's identity. Hermosa coughed.

"Grandma, please calm down. Let's go back to room."

Hermosa nodded in pleasure. Adelaide was gentle and kind. She could not understand why Antonio loved Clarissa. Hermosa was so angry that her headache and cough and other illnesses reappeared. She calmed down and went back to her room with Adelaide's help.

Hermosa was pissed off and left. So, the family dinner naturally ended unhappily. Many people had waited for a chance to show themselves. But now, it was all disrupted by Clarissa. So, they looked at Clarissa with hatred when leaving.

But it did not matter to Clarissa. As long as she could drive Adelaide away and become Antonio's wife, what she had done was worth it.

Back in the room, Adelaide poured a cup of hot water for Hermosa. Looking at Adelaide's sad expression, Hermosa was anxious. She could stop Antonio from divorcing Adelaide. But she could not control their feelings.

In the matter of relationship, it was better for them to work on their own.

Hermosa touched Adelaide's hand with pity, "Adelaide, it was Antonio's fault. Grandma apologizes to you on his behalf."

"No, grandma." Despite she was sad, considering that she couldn't let Hermosa worry about everything for her, Adelaide softly pacified.

Hermosa sighed and told her to talk with Antonio after returning home. Adelaide nodded and said yes and felt disturbed.

She really had thought it over before she said that she was willing to give up Antonio. But seeing Antonio defend Clarissa, she still felt a little hurt.

After Adelaide left, Hermosa asked Ivy to ask Clarissa to have a talk in the café.

The next day, Hermosa sat in the store opposite the café early in the morning. She and Clarissa agreed to meet at ten o'clock. Now, it was after twelve o'clock. She saw Clarissa walking around impatiently, and then talking to someone on the phone. It looked like she was in a bad mood.

Hermosa just wanted to threw a wet blanket over Clarissa. When it was almost time, Hermosa and Ivy slowly walked into the café.

Hermosa saw the impatient Clarissa at a glance and elegantly walked towards her. Clarissa then also saw her. She was no longer anxious and walked to greet Hermosa with a smile.

Hermosa put on a long face. She asked Ivy to order something to drink and then looked at Clarissa without saying anything.

It was Clarissa who could hardly retain her composure. Hermosa's gaze made her hair stand on end. She asked, "Grandma, what is it that you asked me to meet today?"

Hermosa paused for a few seconds and slowly said, "Clarissa, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you. You can have the baby. If the child is Antonio's, he can stay in our family. But you're never allowed to marry into our family!"

Clarissa widened her eyes and gulped in shock, "Grandma, it is my child. Why can't I raise him?"

Hermosa sneered, "If you raise him yourself, our family will not pay any alimony. If the child stays in the Baron family, you will be given a sum of money, which is definitely enough for you and your mother to spend the rest of your life."

"No, I am loath to part with my child. Grandma, you have also given birth to children. Can you watch others take your child away?"

When Hermosa heard this, her face was even gloomier, "Clarissa, I don't care how you seduce Antonio. Don't be so ungrateful in front of me."

Clarissa, who was originally crying and pretending to feel wronged, stopped acting. She gently wiped her tears with tissue paper and chuckled, "Grandma, Adelaide and I are all pregnant with Antonio's child. Since she can marry into the Baron family, then I can also do it."

While shocking at Clarissa's fickleness, Hermosa looked away in disgust, "I don't want to say it again. You want money, or want to argue with me?"

Ivy added the right amount of sugar to the coffee and respectfully handed it to Hermosa. Hermosa gently took a sip and frowned, "It's a bit bitter." "Ms. Hermosa, you can't drink too sweet."

Ivy strictly adhered to the medical advice. Hermosa was a little upset, but did not insist on adding sugar. She turned her head to look at Clarissa and impatiently asked, "Have you decided yet?"

Clarissa touched her newly done nails and didn't even look at Hermosa, "Grandma, what should I think about? Adelaide is pregnant with her ex-boyfriend Channing's child. The one in my belly is the child of Antonio. I don't understand why you always help outsiders. We are the real family!"

Even Ivy could not stand to hear Clarissa's words. She was from the countryside and was honest and worked hard. But she thought the same of Adelaide as Hermosa thought of Adelaide.

Now, hearing that Clarissa was talking nonsense and discrediting Adelaide, she didn't like Clarissa either. Before Hermosa spoke, she answered first, "Miss Clarissa, we all can see how Ms. Adelaide treats Mr. Antonio. Why are you talking nonsense while Ms. Hermosa is being patient with you?"

"Hey, it is impossible to judge her heart from her face. If you do not believe it, you can go to figure it out yourself. That Channing was broken legs by Antonio last time. Because Antonio saw him flirt with Adelaide."

Antonio indeed broke Channing's legs. But according to Antonio's character, if Adelaide really cheated and was seen by him, how could he only beat the man?

Hermosa did not allow Clarissa to slander Adelaide's reputation. She stood up and looked down at Clarissa, "Clarissa, I try to have a calm and sensible talk with you. But you did not listen to me, right? I'm telling you, with me in this house, you will never be able to marry into the Baron family."

Clarissa no longer pretended. She chuckled, "Old woman, let me tell you, I will one day marry into the Baron family. At that time, I and Antonio will also attend upon you when you are dying."

"Clarissa!"

Hermosa was so angry that she coughed.

"Ms. Hermosa, calm down and don't listen to her nonsense." Ivy helped Hermosa to sit down while mollifying her.

"Hey, it looks like you are going to die. Will you die before I marry into the Baron family?" Clarissa kept irritating Hermosa.

Hermosa widened her eyes, as if she couldn't breathe smoothly and was almost die!
