The day Alvin returned, it happened to be a family dinner.
He had spent so much time abroad, and now he suddenly returned home and embarrassed Antonio at the family dinner.
Antonio had to be wary of him, so in the past few days he and his secretary Koby kept a firm eye on Alvin's every move.
Also due to his scorn for his uncle, he basically rested at the company these days, even though he had moved over to live with Clarissa.
Fortunately, although Alvin kept an eye on the Baron Group, but after all, he did not understand the domestic market, plus he had no man in the company, so he did nothing, which made Antonio relieved.
Clarissa did not know that Antonio and his uncle were targeting each other in the business world. Since she asked Antonio to her villa, Antonio hardly ever came back. Even if he came back, he had just taken a shower and changed clothes, and he did not say more than ten words to her.
And that old lady had not come after she asked Antonio to move to the villa.
Did she silently let Antonio go back to that bitch?
This thought popped into Clarissa's head and she quickly confirmed that it must be so, otherwise why didn't Antonio come back?
Even if he came, he didn't even stay for half an hour before he left.
"Hmph, bitch!"
Clarissa narrowed her eyes and cursed in a hateful voice.
Fortunately, only Clarissa was in the villa. Usually the hourly employee would come to clean, but all come and go in a hurry, or they would think she was a mean person.
Clarissa soon arrived at Baron's house. And after Damla opened the door for her, she didn't inform Adelaide but let her go upstairs to find Adelaide.
Perhaps some tacit agreement had formed between the two. Every time Clarissa came to Adelaide alone, she would secretly slip money to Damla, who would also excuse herself to go out to buy food to give them time alone.
This time, naturally, was no exception.
Damla smiled, took the money, untied the apron she was wearing and went out the door.
Adelaide was upstairs reading a book, and whenever she was engrossed in it, she could not always hear the voices beside her.
These days Antonio went out to live with Clarissa, she said she was happy, but her heart was empty, even the people who quarrel to find her own trouble were gone. She felt bored.
She had to read books and pretend nothing was going on.
"Adelaide!"
Clarissa's strong voice reached her ears and she unconsciously frowned. Antonio had already moved in with her, why did she come here specifically to be angry with herself?
Despite her dissatisfaction, Adelaide still stood up good-naturedly.
"What is it?"
She asked.
At that, Clarissa snorted like she had heard a joke and said, "What is it? Adelaide, why are you so shameless?"
Adelaide also laughed. In terms of shamelessness, she was really no match for this sister.
"You are here specifically to scold me? Actually, it can be fixed on the phone, you know I don't want to see your face."
Clarissa was wearing a tight black dress today, a pair of red high heels, carrying a cross body bag, of which the strap split her breasts on either side. She pointed at Adelaide and cursed,
"There's no point in you occupying Antonio. Don't you understand what Grandma meant by giving me the villa? Adelaide, if I were you I'd hurry up and get a divorce."
"I know, it's for the sake of Antonio’s child in your belly!"
Adelaide swept her eyes around her stomach and kindly warned.
"By the way, Clarissa, you can live in that villa because of your belly. Look at you, tight skirt and crossbody bag, they are bad for the baby. In case the bag accidentally knocked the child off, you will get nothing."
This sounded particularly harsh to Clarissa's ears, and she shivered. In order not to let Adelaide see that she was weak-minded, her eyes were as widened as eggs. She pointed at Adelaide and cursed.
"Adelaide, you bitch. Don't curse me, I will definitely give birth to Antonio's child."
"That's right, then go back to take care of you belly!"
Adelaide said in a cold voice as she picked up the book on the sofa to remind Clarissa that she had to read a book and Clarissa could fuck off now.
But she was here to cause trouble.
"You think I want to come? The person that Antonio likes is me, it's me. Even if you have the old lady to back you up and ask Antonio back, his heart won't belong to you."
After a pause, Clarissa's eyes showed a fierce look.
"Adelaide, as soon as the old lady is dead, Antonio will kick you out."
Adelaide once again put down the book in her hand, "Clarissa, even if I'm at fault, why are you insulting Grandma?"
