Chapter 179 An Old Lady
"I believe that he would not do anything to the detriment of the Baron Group if he really bring you down
and became the new chairman of the Baron Group. But now, I also believe that he would do anything
necessary to bring you down!" Jerry speak in a low but confident voice.
Sitting there, Antonio neither looked up at Jerry nor made a rebuttal.
After a while, he got up to walk out with the documents in his hand, "Well, I've got the documents. I've
got something to do, so I have to go first."
Jerry jumped up and grabbed his hand, "Pay the bill before you go."
Antonio helplessly spread his hands and called the waiter over.
After paying the bill, Antonio left the Winger Hotel and got on his car. After fastening his seat belt,
Antonio made a phone call to Oscar.
"Oscar, arrange for someone to carefully investigate Kian and see what illegal things he had done. I'll
need it later."
After hanging up the phone, Antonio drove back to home.
He looked at the light in Adelaide's room, stepped forward and wanted to go in. However, he went back
to his room in the end after thinking for a long time.
In the next few days, Antonio had been busy with other things.
Near the afternoon of this day, the weather was fine.
Antonio finished his work and he was free in the afternoon. Sitting in the office, he rubbed his temples
and thought: it's time to talk to Olivia.
And it happened to be Friday.
Olivia's mother was not in good health, so he would spare a day every week to go home and
accompany his mother no matter how he indulged in dissipation when he was not at home.
This had been Olivia's unshakable habit after he was released from prison.
Antonio looked at his watch and, after that, went downstairs and drove straight to Nancy Road.
Half an hour later, Antonio parked his car at the gate of West Garden Residential Quarter.
The buildings here were indeed old. There were even cracks everywhere on the roads. Places like this
were no longer commonly seen in J City.
The architectural style of this residential quarter was fashionable in the 1990s, but it had long been out
of date now.
Looking at the rusty iron door, Antonio frowned and got off the car.
He walked through the iron door and looked into the security office, where he saw a man in a security
uniform. However, he bent over the table and was apparently asleep.
Why didn't I find this place before? If I buy this piece of land and build new villas here, I'm sure I can
make a lot of money, he wondered.
Even at this time, Antonio still wondered about the way to make money.
Shaking his head and pushing these irrelevant thoughts away, Antonio quickened his pace and walked
to the second unit.
Soon, Antonio arrived at Olivia's home, which was the room 301.
Without hesitation, he rang the doorbell.
It wasn't long before the door was opened. An old lady poked her head out of the door, "Who are you?"
The old woman looked at Antonio with puzzled eyes. Although Olivia's mother lived a somewhat poor
life now, she should have received a higher education, which could be proved by the fact that she
worked hard with her husband in the 1990s and then bought the latest house at that time.
In fact, Antonio had learned from the documents that Olivia's mother was a college graduate. At that
time, when talents were scarce, a college student could be very precious.
As a highly educated person, Olivia's mother realized that Antonio was not an ordinary person at a
glance. It was also because of this that she was puzzled.
As far as she could remember, her son didn't have such a friend.
"Oh, I'm Olivia's friend. Is Olivia at home, please?" Antonio smiled at the old lady and asked gently. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"Are...Are you really Ollie's friend?" The old lady asked with some disbelief.
Antonio didn't speak, but smiled and nodded.
She suddenly recalled something. One day, Olivia gave her a large sum of cash and let her deposit it in
bank account.
She looked at the cash and found that, by rough calculation, there were at least tens of thousands
dollars. She was startled then.
As Zhao Lei' Olivia's mother, she knew her son's ability well.
She couldn't help doubting when Olivia suddenly had such a large sum of money.
She was afraid that her son had done something illegal to get the money. Her son had already been in
prison once, and had just been released for less than a year. If he did something illegal and was put in
prison again, his life would really be ruined.
Then she would lose hope and meaning in living in this world.
Therefore, she asked Olivia again and again at that time about how he got the money.
She remembered that Olivia told her that he made these money by doing a business with someone
else.
She was half in belief and half in doubt then, and wanted to ask again. However, Olivia was unwilling to
tell her anything else about it. She had to give up, and prayed in her heart that all he had said was true.
"Are...Are you the person who does business with my son?" The old lady looked at Antonio with a joyful
expression.
Antonio was a little stunned, and then nodded, "Well, yes."
"Come in please, come in please." The doubt on the old lady's face disappeared and was replaced by
smile soon.
The wrinkles around her eyes deepened a lot because she smiled to happily.
It seemed that Ollie didn't lie to her and he did earn the money from doing business, she thought. She
had been anxious in the past for a long time, and now she was finally relieved.
The old lady led Antonio into the room and got a stool for him, "There isn't better chair. Don't mind, lad."
Antonio sat down on the low stool, "Of course not. It's fine."
As he spoke, he looked around and saw all the furnishings in the room.
This room was as old as this building.
There wasn't even a decent sofa inside, and the TV was an obsolete color TV. Was it twenty-nine
inches or something?
Antonio was really a little unclear about this.
"Well, where is Olivia?" Antonio asked when the old lady handed him a shriveled apple.
The old lady sat on another stool, "He is always not at home, and I don't know where he is. But
generally speaking, he'll be back today, but I don't know exactly when he'll be back. What do you want
to see him for, lad?"
"Oh, I'd like to talk to him about business." Antonio answered casually.
The old lady smiled happily, "Our Ollie was thoughtless when he was young and was idle all the time
then. Now he's finally making some progress. Alas, I finally see hopes."
Her smile was so bright that she seemed to be the happiest person in the world.
