Chapter 188 The Music in the Birthday Party
Chapter 188 The Music in the Birthday Party
Antonio took the guitar with a happy smile and had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Antonio didn't play the guitar after Jerry waited for a long time. Therefore, he gave Antonio a dig in his
arm, "What's up?"
Antonio shook his head. When he put his finger on the string, he had a feeling of familiarity. Guitar was
the only musical instrument he learned in his childhood. He considered guitar as his best friend.
However, he hadn't play it for so many years.
He took a deep breath and then plucked at a string, making a familiar sound. Then, he adjusted the
position of his fingers. A silence fell in the hall.
Slowly, he began to play a song. People present tacitly held their breath, fearing that they would disturb
him. As he played the guitar, he began to use the skills he learned in his childhood perfectly. The song
he played was the classic "Castle in the sky" and his timing was excellent. The crowd were deeply
absorbed in the music and felt as if they were listening to the music played by a famous musician in a
concert.
After Antonio plucked the string for the last time, the music was over.
The crowd were so deeply absorbed in the music that they couldn't react to it for a long time!
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
After the first people clapped his or her hands, the crowd gathered their wits and realized that they
haven't clapped their hands for him. Then the crowd in the hall broke into thunderous applause.
The applause continued for a long time. Even Adelaide, who hid in a corner, couldn't help clapping and
cheering for him.
At this moment, that woman was no longer arrogant. She twitched her lips, "Big deal! I can play the
guitar, too." After saying that, she stamped her foot and left angrily.
When she walked away, more people crowded around Antonio, raising their glasses and praising the
music played by him just now either sincerely or falsely.
Antonio found a chance and grabbed Jerry by his clothes with shrewd eyes, "Did Adelaide get me out
of trouble just now?"
Jerry remembered that Adelaide didn't allow him to tell him who sent the guitar. However, he had no
choice but said that just now. After careful consideration, he stammered out some unconvincing words,
"No...No!"
Antonio was disappointed after hearing what Jerry said. He believed what Jerry said because of the
way Jerry tried to cover up something. Antonio looked around and didn't see Adelaide at all. He
laughed at himself and wondered: how is it possible that she could still remember that it is his birthday
today?
When he was thinking about it, another man with a goblet in his hand tried to talk to him.
"Bro, look. There's a pretty woman."
They were the bosses of a small company. Originally, they weren't invited to Antonio's birthday party.
However, they picked up a gold stamping invitation by accident in a company which they cooperated
with. It wasn't pointed out who this invitation was sent for on it. Therefore, they took it after thinking for
a while.
People who came here were either rich or high-status. It was the first time that they saw these people Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
in reality. Seeing that Adelaide stayed in a corner by herself and was so beautiful, they got an evil idea.
The elder brother was in a purple suit while the younger brother was in a gray suit. Two buttons of the
younger brother's suit were missing, exposing the pink shirt and cheap belt.
They surrounded Adelaide at the same time. When she noticed the changes around her and wanted to
leave, she had been surrounded by them.
Adelaide frowned. She didn't want Antonio to notice her, so she said in a light but determined voice,
"Make way."
"Beauty, where are you going? It was Mr. Antonio's birthday party. Why not follow us go to have a drink
with Mr. Antonio?"
Then he put his arm around Adelaide's shoulder.
Adelaide threw his arm away with great force, stared at them with fierce eyes and continued to say in a
low voice, "Make way!"
The younger brother put his hand near his nose, closed his eyes suddenly and smelled the fragrance.
Then, he said with a mean smile, "Miss, have a drink with us. Don't be so heartless."
Adelaide really didn't want to continue to talk with him because she would be laughed at if she was
found by Antonio. She was anxious to leave, but the two brothers knew that she dared not shout and
therefore deliberately blocked her way.
Just when Adelaide didn't know what to do, Jerry came over. Seeing what was happening, he became
angry and immediately rushed over to kick them to the ground. He did not know who they were, but
they knew he was.
Just now, they were shouting that they would take revenge on the person who attacked them. After
seeing the person attacked them clearly, they shut up immediately. With a flattering smile, the elder
brother nodded and asked obsequiously, "Mr. Jerry, why did you come here in person?"
"You don't deserve to touch her. Get out!" Jerry growled at them with displeasure. He had pulled
Adelaide behind him, but he was afraid when he remembered what had happened just now. However,
in order not to be noticed by others, he had to put up with it.
"Yes...Yes. Mr. Jerry, this is my business card..." The elder brother was still unwilling to give up and
took out his business card from his pocket. He thought that he would gain a lot of profit if he could know
Jerry by taking this opportunity.
"Great, I'll 'take good care' of your company."
Jerry didn't refuse him, but took the business card calmly. When he answered him, he stressed the
word "good". What he really meant was quite obvious.
However, these two stupid guys didn't realize what he meant and left joyfully with their arms around
each other's shoulder. When they walked away, they were still saying, "Mr. Jerry must like her. He
would definitely be thankful to us because we gave him a chance to save the beauty as a hero."
"Right. Right, bro. We're going to make an achievement this time."
I did save a beauty as a hero. However, I might not be thankful to you for it. Jerry looked at them with
an evil smile.
Adelaide, who stood beside him, was scared when she saw his smile. She couldn't help shivering,
preying in her heart that these two guys could live a happy life for a few more days.
"Adelaide?"
What happened here was too unusual. Apart from quarreling, Adelaide was molested and the brothers
were kicked down. It was impossible that Antonio wouldn't notice it. Antonio came close them, stopped
and asked with some uncertainty.
Adelaide shivered. She swallowed her saliva and turned around. Antonio really stood behind her.
Antonio's expression changed from time to time, and Adelaide couldn't understand.
"I...pass by. Yes, I'm just passing by!"
Antonio became even sullen. He looked as cold as an iceberg. Even Jerry couldn't help shivering.
Seeing that Antonio was approaching Adelaide, he grabbed Antonio's arm, "Antonio, calm down.
She..."
Before he finished his words, Antonio dropped his eyes and gave him a glance, "It’s Ok!"
After saying that, he threw Jerry's hand away, grasped Adelaide's wrist without saying anything and
walked to the door.
"Antonio, what are you doing?" Adelaide struggled several times, but Antonio didn't let go of her at all.
She didn't know what mistake she had made. Their relationship was like a rope that was about to
break, and they were tied to it. If anything went wrong, they all would suffer.
Antonio didn't answer her question, but dragged her out of the hall. Then he pulled her and went to the
underground parking without saying a word.
"Didn't you say you're not coming?"
When he invited her to come, she refused. However, she came after Jerry just asked her? Antonio was
very angry about this!
