Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 151

He shivered all over. He was so shocked that the cigarette fell from his fingers and fell on his instep, instantly burning a red mark. He subconsciously lifted his feet to let the cigarette fall to the ground. He did not care whether his feet were seriously burned or not, but raised his head to look out the window. It was still raining heavily at the moment. That man was all wet. His shadow was long under the dim light from the lamp in the courtyard.

That man climbed over the wall, left the house and soon disappeared in the darkness. As there was still a distance between the gate and the yard, Antonio clearly knew who he was.

Lighting a cigarette again, he sat in a chair beside the bed as if looking at somewhere far away, thinking about something.

He didn't sleep all night. The next day, he came to the door of Adelaide’s room and raised his hand, not knowing whether to knock on the door or not. After a long time, he put down his hand and left.

Before leaving, he told Damla to watch Adelaide and don't let her go out, which was equivalent to place Adelaide under house arrest in another way.

Hurried to the company, he found that the employees looked at him with strange eyes. The girl at the front desk even pretended not to see him, deliberately looking around to avoid saying hello to him.

Antonio secretly sighed. The stock price of the Baron Group had been clasping since the market opened. He came to the office tiredly.

Just two minutes after sitting down, Oscar rushed in in a hurry. He was flustered as if there were an imminent disaster. Antonio rubbed his temples and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Antonio, the stock price of our company has fallen!"

Considering how much Antonio could accept, Oscar was worried that Antonio would faint immediately out of anger if he told him everything in one time.

Antonio nodded. He had foreseen it when he heard what Adelaide had said.

Seeing this, Oscar swallowed his saliva, peeped at Antonio's expression and carefully replied, "And, in the morning, the salespersons of the major shops all called and said that no one had bought skin care products, including makeup."

"It's only nine o'clock now. It's normal to have no business in the morning. Is it worth making a phone call?" Antonio's face darkened and said unpleasantly.

Of course, it was not so simple. Last night, the netizens who wanted to "fight for justice" for Adelaide had spontaneously set up a group and organized people to make trouble in the shops of the Baron Group. In addition, Alvin was secretly inciting people to make trouble. This time, they weren't just talking.

Lowering his head, Oscar was somewhat embarrassed to tell Antonio about it. After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke slowly, "It's more than that, Mr. Antonio. Before the salespersons came to the shops, there were already a large number of people staying there. Anyone who want to buy something would be forced to see the pictures of those women who was disfigured, and the customers were scared and left."

Hearing this, Antonio stood up quickly and clapped his hand on the table, making a loud sound, "What?"

Oscar drooped his head deeper, and decided to tell him everything in one time after consideration, "And, Mr. Antonio, a clerk was so angry that she quarreled with them. She was beaten, and now is still in the hospital..." He was losing his courage to say this while he was talking. When he uttered the last few words, he seemed to have been pinched by his neck by someone and talked in such a low voice that Antonio could hardly hear him.

He was livid with his dark eyes glinting angrily. A few seconds later, he calmed down, "Go to see that clerk and comfort her. And our company shall reimburse her for all medical expenses. Then call the police to arrest those who took the lead to make trouble. Tell the police to put them into prison for three or five years and 'take good care of them' for me in prison."

"Yes, Mr. Antonio. I'll do it right away."

"Mr. Antonio, What about the press conference in the afternoon..."

"Hold it as planned." Antonio rubbed his temples, "I just have to give an explanation for what Adelaide had said yesterday."

Oscar nodded and left the office. Antonio stared at the window in a daze for a while and then lowered his head to work.

Too many things happened recently. He was not in the mood to deal with his work, but he had to settle to his work because of the frequent problems in the company.

Time passed quickly. Antonio had been wading through the documents and didn't notice that it was already in the afternoon.

When Oscar went into the office again to remind him that the press conference was about to start in half an hour, Antonio suddenly found that he was so busy working that he didn't even have lunch.

Antonio relaxed his sore arms, then stood up and hurried to the venue of the press conference with Oscar.

The venue of the press conference was packed with people. Many of the reporters were invited by the Baron Group, but more came spontaneously.

There had been too many problems in the Baron Group recently. Especially after the skin care product incident happened, the public opinion on the internet was also one-sided in criticizing the Baron Group.

Today, it was presumable that Antonio took the initiative to hold this press conference to end it. Naturally, these reporters would not miss the opportunity to dig up the truth in the first place.

Antonio had hardly appeared at the door when he was surrounded by the reporters.

"Mr. Antonio, is it true that there is something wrong with the cosmetics of the Baron Group?"

"Mr. Antonio, would you please tell me how you are going to deal with the women who have skin problems because they used the cosmetics of the Baron Group?"

"..." A flood of questions were coming to Antonio accompanied by numerous lights from flash lamps.

Antonio slightly squinted his eyes and did not make any answer.

Under the escort of Oscar and several bodyguards, he finally found a way out of the crowd. He walked steadily up to the rostrum and looked around at the crowd.

It gradually became quiet in the venue. Everyone was waiting for Antonio to explain. Many photographers were ready and waiting to capture every moment.

Seeing that it had been quiet in the venue, Antonio picked up the microphone at the table, "I’m sure you've already guessed that we hold today's press conference because of the rumor before that there was something wrong with the cosmetics of the Baron Group."

"Today, I stand here, in fact, not to deny it." Antonio stopped after he finished his words.

As he had expected, what he said caused a stir in the venue immediately.

These reporters did not expect Antonio to admit directly that there was something wrong with the cosmetics of the Baron Group. What did he want to do?

Generally speaking, he should try hard to deny it even if there was really something wrong with the cosmetics of the Baron Group. Wasn't what he said clearly harmful to the Baron Group?

People knew nothing about him might think that Antonio was going to expose something negative about the Baron Group.

However, it was well-known that the Baron Group was Antonio's company and was closely related to his own interests. It was impossible for Antonio to do anything harmful to his own interests. Everyone was suspicious, not knowing what Antonio wanted to do.

"Judging from the evidence we found in the past two days, it's really because of the quality problems of the cosmetics of the Baron Group." The reporters became even crazier and took pictures more frequently.
