Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 142

Aadam was not a fool. He could see that Adelaide just said those words last night to anger Antonio.

Perhaps people with high IQ had lower EQ, otherwise he couldn't understand why Antonio couldn't see through what seemed simple to him.

Did he fail to see it clearly because he was closely involved in it?

Aadam's interest in Adelaide had grown deeper and deeper. In his heart, he was determined to get her.

He really wanted to know if Adelaide would be still with Antonio when he wasn't the chairman of the board anymore and became worthless.

Would she divorce Antonio immediately? If he courted her fervidly at that time, would she be his girlfriend?

Aadam looked forward to it.

The next afternoon, Aadam came to the TV station as agreed.

At the beginning of the program, the host discussed the stock market with Aadam. After that, the host had an interview with Aadam.

After asking some simple questions, the host suddenly said, "Well, Mr. Bailey, I heard that you came to J City from the United States to work here. I also heard that you have been looking for a partner recently. There are rumors that you will cooperate with the Baron Group. Is that true?"

"I did intend to cooperate with the Baron Group, but..." Aadam stopped here as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"But what?" the host asked in a curious way.

Aadam hesitated for a long time and then pointed to the bruises on his face, "Yesterday I went to the Baron Group to talk about cooperation, but was hit by Mr. Antonio for unknown reasons. He also said that he would never cooperate with us, and I didn't know why."

The host thought for a little while, finally understanding why Aadam refused to put on a makeup before the broadcast. She was still thinking why Aadam, who was from a well-known family, would appear on TV in disregard of his image.

Now she finally understood that Aadam was just for this.

No matter what Aadam said this for, the host was happy to see it. She could even feel that a war was imminent.

Was the Delia Group declaring war on the Baron Group? She could imagine how the audience reacted to it and the reputation of the Baron Group would be ruined by what Aadam said.

Also, she could foresee that the ratings today would be high.

At this time, Aadam said, "As a matter of fact, I came to this program today to find a partner. I hope that companies or groups having intention to cooperate can get in touch with me as soon as possible. We come in good faith and hope to find a company that really wants to cooperate with us."

……

In the conference room of the Baron Group, a projector was working and the TV channel was broadcasting the interview with Aadam.

Aadam's voice reverberated around in the silent conference room, seeming to be particularly harsh.

Antonio's face darkened. He anticipated that Aadam would say that he had beaten him openly, but he didn't expect that he would do it in this way.

To his greater astonishment, Aadam pretended to be so innocent. Under such circumstances, he couldn't explain it clearly.

Could he say that he did this because Aadam had an affair with his wife? It was impossible for Antonio to do so as a man.

Aadam dared to do so just because he saw his weakness.

"Chairman, what's the matter? Why do you refuse to cooperate with Mr. Bailey? And why do you even hit him?" Finally, some directors couldn't stand it anymore and questioned Antonio.

As he asked questions, more people began to put pressure on Antonio and they also mentioned the previous loss of the bid.

Antonio was still chairman of the board, so they didn't dare to be rude. But Antonio had been under great pressure just because of these questionings.

In the face of these questionings, Antonio didn't reply. He just knocked on the table and silently looked out of the window.

After the meeting, he returned to his office with his face darkened. Although he pretended to be indifferent, he had lost his face and prestige because of several projects that were not successful.

Alvin looked so triumphant that everyone could see how happy he was. This was because, of course, Antonio. Outwardly, they still respected Antonio, but privately they often abused him.

The secretary beside him opened the door of the car for him shrewdly and closed it when he sat down. Then the driver started the car and drove away.

Adelaide got up late that day and forgot what she had planned. After thinking it over, she felt it not appropriate to live in a hotel, so she checked out and went home quietly. Fortunately, Damla now regarded her as air.

Yesterday Aadam appeared on TV. It was fair to say that there were many businessmen on TV every day and that Adelaide rarely cared about it. It was such a coincidence that Damla was watching TV at home and saw the news, so she happened to know that Antonio failed to reach a cooperation with Aadam. She was very happy because she had had dinner with Aadam just to anger Antonio and stop him from reaching a cooperation with Aadam.

Adelaide immediately wanted to invite Aadam to dinner, but was worried that her purpose would be seen because she acted too deliberately. She calmed down and restrained the desire to invite Aadam to dinner, staying at home for a whole and feeling bored.

Antonio came back in the evening and looked at her with strange expression in his eyes. Adelaide felt a little relieved when she thought that this might be caused by disbelief in him from members of the board because of his failure in the project with Aadam. She should have been very happy and celebrate it every time she successful took revenge on him. However, every time she saw his eyes, she found herself in the mood that she couldn't express with appropriate words. She couldn't tell what it was, but she felt uncomfortable.

What was stranger was that Antonio looked at her in a daze and then went back to his room without saying a word. In the past, he was like an angry lion. She felt that she was left out again.

Find it boring, she went back to her room like Antonio did, but both of them failed to fall asleep in their respective rooms.

"Knock. Knock. Knock!"

The door of the room was knocked. Since Aadam appeared on TV, every businessman in J City knew that Aadam had fallen out with the President of the Baron Group. At first, everyone thought that as one of the world's top 500 companies, the Delia Group would definitely cooperate with the Baron Group when in J City. They all had given up. Unexpectedly, there was something wrong with Antonio's mind and he dared to refuse to cooperate with the Delia Group face to face. Wasn't there any other explanation for it but that there was something wrong with his mind?

As a result, too many people came to send gifts. Joe opened the door for so many times that he felt his hands painful and his face twisting. The knock on the door was just like the representative from Hell. Accepting his fate, Joe rubbed his arms with a sad expression and went to open the door.
