Chapter 7 How Dare You?
A hoarse and powerful voice pierced through the air and immediately captured their attention.
Antonio who was ovee with anger subconsciously let go of Adide as he looked in the direction
of the source of that powerful voice.
“Grandma, why are you here?” A trace of doubt crossed his face.
In response to Antonio suddenly letting go of her, Adide who was already weak in the first ce
plopped to the floor like a cotton bud. She heaved a sigh of relief as if she had been hoping for this to
happen all along.
All of a sudden, Antonio’s face was swept over by a vague expression.
The olddy whose name was Hermosa was standing at the door and she was approaching them with
the help of her cane and helped Adide up to her feet. She examined Adide’s lethargic face and
shook her head sympathetically, “My dear, you have suffered a lot!”
She then turned around and faced Antonio, “You ungrateful child, you are able to marry such a nice
wife thanks to the Baron family yet you are squandering this opportunity!”
The olddy was reprimanding Antonio vehemently as she helped Adide to the side safely. At the
same time, she was hammering her cane on Antonio’s body to make her opinion clear.
“Grandma!”
Antonio’s expression was pretty hideous at the moment, but even he wouldn’t dare to refute his
grandmother. He didn’t shy away from her beatings at all. He just stood rooted to the spot as Hermosa
continued to whip her cane at him. While he was being beaten up, he slightly cocked his head and
eyed Adide.
Did this woman learn how to be calctive? She even knew to implore someone else to help with her
situation.
Adide only felt a disgusting shudder swept through her body. She immediately hugged her knees
and curled up into a ball. She was shivering with fear.
She had known long ago that she could never hide everything from Antonio, and he would definitely be
angry after learning about this fact. However, there was nothing that Adide could do since she was
never someone important in the family. The only one willing to side with her was only the grandmother.
“Why are you ring at her?”
When she saw Antonio’s gaze and Adide’s shrunken figure, Hermosa hammered her cane at
Antonio’s body once again.
“Let me warn you, putting aside the fact that Adide is pregnant now, even if she isn’t pregnant, I will
still skin you alive if you dare to harm her in any way!”
“You are really sinful. Not only you didn’t take care of your own wife well, you even pay attention on
those messy girls out there. You are really an embarrassment to the Baron family!”
Hermosa continued to berate Antonio while hitting him with her cane. Both Antonio and Adide knew
who Hermosa was referring to and they knew that she was never fond of rissa in the first ce. In
an instant, Antonio’s expression became uglier than earlier.
Hermosa was just not trying to scare him with his empty threats; she was actually hitting Antonio’s body
without reservation. Part of his skin was already bruised because of her beating but Hermosa seemed
like she was not nning to let up.
Antonio continued to stay there motionless without uttering a word as he continued to endure her
beating with a grave expression.
He was being brought up by Hermosa since he was young, so she had contributed to his sess of
today. Therefore, it was only natural that he always had immense respect for Hermosa. That was why
he never dared to oppose her no matter what she had done.
Finally, Adide couldn’t stand the sight anymore as she mbered forward to stop Hermosa.
“Grandma, stop hitting him. He will always be fine, but what if you are injured…”
Seeing that Adide was imploring her, Hermosa paused slightly before deciding to stop her actions.
She let out a helpless sigh after that.
“My dear, it is precisely because of your softness that this ungrateful child has be more and more
outrageous. If I don’t teach him a lesson now, he would never learn of his mistakes!”
However, Adide shook her head animatedly, “That’s not true, he has been treating me very well. It
was my fault for provoking his anger…”
As she said that, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her lips. Wasn’t she right about this? He was
always nice towards her and he was always an image of excellence and kindness in her heart. Or else,
she would never fall heads over heels for him for so many years.
“Don’t try to spout such fake words!”
When she finished her sentence, Antonio cut her off abruptly and coldly.
“Trying to be so hard-headed again?”
Hermosa was immediately enraged once again. She red at Antonio and her gaze sessfully
rendered him speechless, not daring to argue with her anymore.
Hermosa was in their presence for a long time, but in the end, this was still Antonio and Adide’s

house. She couldn’t help but let out a sigh and gave Adide a piece of advice. If Antonio were to bully
Adide, she were to inform Hermosa of such happenings. She would swoop over immediately to
teach him a lesson.
Adide replied with a bitter smile but she knew very well that there would be no next time after this.
This would be thest time Antonio would endure like this. He wouldn’t let her gain the upper hand like
this again ever again. As long as she could preserve the child in her belly, Adide wouldn’t care about
anything else. On the other hand, Antonio continued to stand rooted to the spot without even making a
sound.
Finally, Hermosa made sure once again that her thoughts were clear. If something were to happen to
the child in Adide’s stomach, she even imed that she also didn’t want to continue living anymore.
She finally left after casting a re at Antonio.
However, as soon as Hermosa left, Antonio abruptly pushed Adide and she stumbled onto the sofa.
“How dare you tell grandma about this?”
