Chapter 22 Vicious Woman


    Hermosa had thought Antonio would haul in his horns in front of so many rtives. She let Antonio


    solve it because she thought Antonio would not let her down. But weren''t his words an indirect


    recognition of rissa?


    Hermosa looked at Adide, 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 Adide.


    She pped 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 be 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 Adide and admitted rissa''s identity.


    Hermosa coughed.

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


    Hermosa nodded in pleasure. Adide was gentle and kind. She could not understand why Antonio


    loved rissa. Hermosa was so angry that her headache and cough and other illnesses reappeared.


    She calmed down and went back to her room with Adide''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 rissa. So, they looked at


    rissa with hatred when leaving.


    But it did not matter to rissa. As long as she could drive Adide away and be Antonio''s wife,


    what she had done was worth it.


    Back in the room, Adide poured a cup of hot water for Hermosa. Looking at Adide''s sad


    expression, Hermosa was anxious. She could stop Antonio from divorcing Adide. But she could not


    control their feelings.


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


    Hermosa touched Adide''s hand with pity, "Adide, 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, Adide softly pacified.


    Hermosa sighed and told her to talk with Antonio after returning home. Adide 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 rissa, she still felt a little hurt.


    After Adide left, Hermosa asked Ivy to ask rissa to have a talk in the café.


    The next day, Hermosa sat in the store opposite the café early in the morning. She and rissa agreed


    to meet at ten o''clock. Now, it was after twelve o''clock. She saw rissa 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 nket over rissa. When it was almost time, Hermosa and Ivy


    slowly walked into the café.


    Hermosa saw the impatient rissa at a nce and elegantly walked towards her. rissa 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 rissa


    without saying anything.


    It was rissa who could hardly retain herposure. 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, "rissa, 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!"


    rissa 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, "rissa, I don''t care how you seduce


    Antonio. Don''t be so ungrateful in front of me."


    rissa, who was originally crying and pretending to feel wronged, stopped acting. She gently wiped


    her tears with tissue paper and chuckled, "Grandma, Adide 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 rissa''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 rissa and impatiently asked, "Have you decided yet?"


    rissa touched her newly done nails and didn''t even look at Hermosa, "Grandma, what should I think


    about? Adide 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 rissa''s words. She was from the countryside and was honest and


    worked hard. But she thought the same of Adide as Hermosa thought of Adide.


    Now, hearing that rissa was talking nonsense and discrediting Adide, she didn''t like rissa


    either. Before Hermosa spoke, she answered first, "Miss rissa, we all can see how Ms. Adide


    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 Antoniost time. Because Antonio saw him flirt with


    Adide."


    Antonio indeed broke Channing''s legs. But ording to Antonio''s character, if Adide really cheated


    and was seen by him, how could he only beat the man?


    Hermosa did not allow rissa to nder Adide''s reputation. She stood up and looked down at


    rissa, "rissa, 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."


    rissa 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."


    "rissa!"


    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?" rissa kept


    irritating Hermosa.


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