Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 936

"Ok, ok, I'll go back and prepare the contract." It could be seen that Mario was overjoyed from his expression. He came here today just to have a try, never expecting to succeed in such a simple way.

Mario couldn't help chuckling.

The so-called banquet was just a fancy place for upper-class people to make friends, or, more bluntly, to vent their desires. It was also the dream of girls who wanted to marry someone from rich families.

Antonio held Adelaide's hand. They looked very much like a loving couple who respected each other. Their smiling faces proved that rumors on the internet were false. Some reporters even rubbed their eyes and seemed not to believe it.

Even if they lived a happy and sweet life, a few of them still came to Adelaide with the microphone in their hands.

She looked at Antonio. Both of them smiled when they looked at each other. Would the reporters, who did not know what had happened, not believe that they loved each other after seeing this? Action speaks louder than words. They could only pay attention to each other. How could they notice the others?

The reporters were all dejected because the news report that they had prepared for several days was now useless. Both the reporters and the celebrities attending the banquet could hardly believe the love they show for each other at the moment.

The couple had a harmonious relationship and was cheerful, leaving no room for other people to interject.

Some of the people, who didn't believe it, was just because they were jealous.

At the banquet, even if Adelaide just sneezed, Antonio, who was standing beside her, would be very nervous and would quickly take off his coat and put it on for her in a hurry. At this point, news stories about their discords, even abortion and mistress were proved to be false without more explanation from them.

It could deceive other people, but not Hermosa. Seeing the news, she came to Antonio and Adelaide's house hurriedly when Damla was still cleaning the house. She was supported by Ivy with a cane in the other hand.

Damla would tell her everything. Before Hermosa asked, Damla held her hand and told her clearly about the recent situation with a sad face, as if she had seen a savior.

Adelaide was lying asleep in her room and did not know that Hermosa had come.

After hearing Damla's words, Hermosa was furious. She was old, but she wasn't sloppy at all. Now, she beat the floor with a cane again and again, making loud sound. Damla secretly rejoiced, thinking that Hermosa would finally teach Adelaide a lesson.

She was nosy and wanted to follow up to have a look, but Ivy stopped her at the stair entrance on the first floor with a cold face.

"Adelaide, are you there?"

Hermosa cleared her throat and raised her hand to knock on the door.

No one would care about more about the news Adelaide told reporters than she. On the one hand, she was worried that Antonio would be affected by it. On the other hand, she was afraid that the negative news would affect the company. Employees in charge of finance were basically trained by her. Although she had not been in charge of it for a long time, she was uneasy when she learned that the company had been losing money in the past few days.

Hearing this, Adelaide shivered, sat up immediately and got out of bed at once to open the door for Hermosa.

Hermosa was very satisfied with her because it was easy to control an unintelligent woman. Slowly, she talked about the main purpose of visiting today, "Adelaide, it was wrong for that bastard to have an affair with Clarissa. As the saying goes, lovers' quarrel are soon mended. Anyway, you and Antonio are legal couples protected by law. If there is a problem, you should communicate with your husband. It is unnecessary for you to talk about it online since there are many bad people on the internet. You see, the reputation of both the company and Antonio is damaged. And..."

The more words she said, the colder Adelaide felt. It seemed that Hermosa was scolding Antonio. But in fact, she was speaking for Antonio. She shouldn't have told the public even if he was the one who was wrong.

Adelaide really couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up quickly and interrupted her words with a very serious expression, "Granny, it is Antonio who does the wrong thing. Why can't I tell the public about this?"

"Adelaide, don't you know that you are wrong? The matter about Clarissa is your family thing. Wouldn't people laugh at Antonio if you tell others? It's not good for the company if his reputation is damaged!"

Hermosa's face darkened. Just now, she was holding Adelaide's hand, as if she was a grandma who had a good relationship with her granddaughter, Adelaide. Because of her being "thoughtless" and "disobedient", the atmosphere suddenly changed. She knocked her cane on the ground with her face darkened again to show her dignity.

"Granny, it was Antonio who did the wrong thing. What's my fault?"

Adelaide raised her head with solemn eyes.

Seeing this, Hermosa could no longer restrain her anger, knocked Adelaide's leg with a cane and rebuked her energetically, "Bastard! Go down on your knees! Antonio is you master after you married him! How can you treat your master like this?"

Adelaide felt as if she had heard something shocking. She looked at Hermosa in disbelief so that she ignored the pain on her leg. After a while, she bit her lower lip and calmly stated a fact, "Granny, the feudal era was over a long time ago!"
