Chapter 149 Why Did You Do This?
She retreated to a dark place at proper time to make sure that the reporters could take the picture.
Then she fixed her hair again and returned to the "stage". The reporters were angry for her.
She had been used to it for a long time. She lowered her eyes inside which a flash of light appeared
and then disappeared. The picture on the screen was switched again. She sobbed and covered her
mouth with her hands, "He...He united with his mistress to make me miscarry!"
Just like a lake rippled after a stone was threw into a calm lake, it immediately caused a stir among
people present. Some boring financial reporters had tried to dig up information about her pregnancy.
They thought she had already given birth to a baby.
"Hello, how did you know that?"
A reporter who was not easy to fool put forward a question. She held the paper towel she used to wipe
tears firmly in her hands, and looked at that reporter with stubborn eyes, "After I lost my child, it was
easy for me to wake up from sleep. That night, I heard him secretly making a phone call in the room,
and then left home in a sneaky way. So, I followed him quietly. He went to the hotel to meet Clarissa. I
heard what he said in person."
This was a conspiracy against Adelaide. They didn't believe it, but Adelaide was tearful and her eyes
were crystal clear. It was difficult for them to imagine that Mr. Antonio, who had made a mistake, would
treat his wife in this way.
"Why didn't you call the police then?" that reporter took the opportunity to push a way out and came
close to Adelaide. Her eyes were gleaming, and it was obvious that she didn't feel sad or grieved for
what had happened to Adelaide.
Hearing this, Adelaide shook her head again and sighed, "I just heard what he said, but have no
evidence. Besides, he has acquired the Swift’s Group and was able to hoodwink people in J City. What
can I do as a woman?"
She perfectly played a woman betrayed by her husband, and the acting was the same as Clarissa
when Clarissa framed her. As a matter of fact, the women of the Swift family were all excellent actors.
But some people still didn't believe that she would be so coward that she would hold back her anger
and say nothing when her husband and his mistress made her miscarry. If she decided to put up with it,
why would she tell everyone now?
They viewed this issue at a tricky angle and it would be the reaction of many netizens when they saw it.
After hearing this, Adelaide didn't get angry after finding that they didn't believe her. Instead, she smiled
like the sun in the morning and became so charming that the men and staff in front of her were dazzled
by her. It seemed that she didn't care about her life anymore when she smiled. Sure enough, she
slowly said, "I lost my child; the Swift’s Group was also acquired by him; and my love was taken away
by him! Now, I have nothing left, so I'm not afraid of anything!"
The reporters were shocked by what she said. She spoke as if she was giving her last words. Thinking
of this, they couldn't help shivering. They all vowed to let Antonio get the punishment he deserved,
comforted Adelaide and asked her not to commit suicide.
In fact, she thought of nothing but how to bring Antonio down now. She wanted to see how he would
feel when he lost his position and take revenge for her child and the Swift’s Group!
Suicide?
She really didn't think of it!
But she had said those words to induce these people to think in the wrong direction deliberately. She
smiled and calmly ended the press conference.
May was the beginning of summer. The temperature began to rise and the temperature difference
between day and night was still big. When the wind blew, her dress swung with the wind. Adelaide
rubbed her arms and felt a little warmer because of it.
Suddenly a car stopped in front of her. She only found that it was Jerry who she hadn't seen for a long
time after the window of the car rolled down.
Adelaide compressed her mouth, opened the door and sat in.
Her lips were blue due to coldness. Jerry turned around to give her a glance and then silently turned on
the heater. After a while, he broke the silence when speaking unpleasantly, "Adelaide, you are the wife
of Antonio, who is a good friend of mine. Can you tell me what happened between you and Antonio?"
She lowered her head and rubbed her clothes, making the cloth wrinkled. She didn't answer. He asked
again anxiously. This time, she shook her head and spoke in low voice, "Nothing."
Jerry was angry and stepped on the brake suddenly, after which the car stopped. He anxiously grabbed
Adelaide's arm with great strength, "Do you know that a reporter broadcasted the press conference live NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
tonight? Damn it! Antonio won't let you off."
She was stunned a little, obviously not expecting Antonio to know it so soon. Suddenly she thought of
her purpose, so she settled down again. She leaned back in the chair comfortably, "Well, I know."
Jerry didn't know what to do when he heard her simple words. He frowned as if Adelaide was to be in
great difficulty but still being indifferent, "You know? And then? Have you figured out a way to face
Antonio?"
It was undeniable that what she said was true. He knew Antonio well, so he knew this matter would not
be so simple. Besides, although Antonio seemed silent, it would be scary for him to get angry. Even
Jerry would be frightened.
Adelaide closed her eyes. She knew that Jerry said those words for her sake. And she was grateful
that Jerry came to her after he saw the video. However, the problem between she and Antonio were so
serious that no one could think of any solution to deal with it. She said with a bitter smile, "Thank you,
Jerry."
Thank him for accompanying her and caring about her at this moment.
Silence...
There was silence for a long time. It seemed that Jerry was also thinking about how to solve the
problem. Suddenly, he had an inspiration and said, "Adelaide, does it still hurt?"
As a good friend of Antonio, he really shouldn't care about his wife. But the bruise was so obvious in
the video. Did Antonio really hit her? He shook his head and dared not think much about it, but finally
couldn't help asking.
Hearing this, Adelaide raised her head and gave him a puzzled glance. Seeing that there were so
much care in his eyes, she was shocked, so she shook her head unconsciously. They were speechless
again.
Jerry stepped on the accelerator and started the car slowly. The atmosphere was strange. They both
tried to find a topic to ease the embarrassment, but shut up tacitly before the other person spoke.
Soon, they arrived at Adelaide's home. Jerry looked at her. She got off the car from the passenger seat
and wanted to invite him in, but was afraid that she would get him into trouble when Antonio lost
temper. She lowered her head and said in a voice as low as that of a mosquito, "Why...Why don't t you
go back first?"
Jerry knew clearly that he couldn't solve any problem even if he stayed here, so he nodded and said,
"Well, you go in first. Call me if you need my help."
She turned around and walked in without looking back.
Jerry turned his car around. Soon after he started his car, he clapped his hands on the steering wheel
angrily. Then, he drove his car to one side of the road, got off the car and went back.
