Keep Your Merry Christmas to Yourself Chapter 9
Without any hesitation, I blocked all of their numbers.After that, I sent the evidence of the Soave family's underground casino laundering, tax evasion, and Ivano's assassination dealings to the police's email.At the same time, the confidential file about Giada's true identity was also made public.Having done all this, I took a cab to the airport.The terminal was crowded with people, but I found a corner to sit in.In my suitcase were just a few old clothes and the design drafts for "Midnight Sun".I looked down at my phone, and as expected, the internet had exploded."The Soave family is suspected of massive international money laundering and tax evasion. Tatum Soave and his wife, Florina Cannella, have been arrested. Their assets are frozen!"In the pictures, my high and mighty biological parents were shown being arrested with handcuffs, their faces a picture of disgrace.Meanwhile, forums overseas were buzzing with the revelation of Giada's true identity. Countless enem

When I returned to Soave Manor, the mood in the living room was just right.Mamma was trying on expensive jewelry on Giada, Papa was reading the newspaper, and Ivano was on the phone in the corner.The scene looked so warm.Frowning, Papa put down his newspaper as soon as he saw me walk in. "You finally remember that this is your home?"Mamma, on the other hand, quickly switched to a fake, concerned tone. "Cristina, where have you been these days? We've been so worried about you."Ivano hung up the phone, his face showing a trace of surprise as he took my hand. "Cristina, I knew you'd come around. Since you're done with this tantrum, just stay home now. I've kept your ring for you."I pulled my hand away and ignored him. Walking straight to the coffee table, I threw the document envelope I had been clutching onto it."What's this? How rude!" Papa's face darkened."A document."I pulled out a chair and sat down, coldly watching them. "A document about how much my life is really

The day after I received my Fennaris visa, I went back to the private investigation firm.The office windows were tightly shut.The investigator, Elmo Gullo, sat behind his desk. Wiping sweat from his forehead, he pushed a sealed document envelope toward me."Ms. Soave, investigating Mr. Dominici and the Soave family's secrets is far too dangerous. We were planning to abandon the investigation and refund you."He swallowed hard and said in a low voice, "But just last night, a top-tier hacker from overseas breached our system and sent us this confidential file."My heart skipped a beat. "A hacker from overseas?"Elmo looked at me. "The hacker had no malicious intent. They left only one message."My breath hitched.I suddenly remembered that anonymous sender. That night, when my life's work was gutted, and I was teetering on the edge of despair, they had helped me recover all the data and told me never to be confined."What did they say?" I asked.Elmo handed me a printed note

I had underestimated Ivano's methods.The next morning, just as I opened the door to my apartment, there he was. This mafia Don, with his far-reaching influence, was standing in the narrow hallway of my humble, run-down building.For the first time, there was a hint of regret on Ivano's usually composed face.He sighed lightly, then placed a bank card gently on my cheap fold-out table.His deep-set eyes were filled with indulgence, and his voice was soft enough to drown me. "Cristina, I hate seeing you suffer out here. Take this card, forget about the Fennaris project, and come home with me."I stared at the card and laughed.Even now, he still thought that money could solve everything.I looked away from the card."Ivano, I don't need your money." My voice was so calm that even I found it strange.Ivano froze for a moment, clearly not understanding my rejection. He must've been used to me carefully trying to please him.I continued, "If you really feel guilty, then please ke

Cristina's POVIvano called me more than a dozen times, but I didn't pick up.That night, to obtain the necessary family identification for my visa application, I slipped back into Soave Manor under the cover of darkness.The living room lights were dimmed.Just as I reached the shadowed entrance, I heard a loud crash from inside. A thick folder was slammed onto the table.Ivano stood with his back to me, radiating fury.Giada, who had been lying on the couch scrolling through her phone, jumped at the sudden noise.When she saw the screenshots scattered across the table, her face drained of color."These are your dark web hire records and overseas account transfers."Ivano's voice was icy. "Giada, who gave you the nerve to pull these underhanded tricks right under my nose to ruin Cristina's future?""Ivano… I…" Giada's lips trembled violently, and her eyes reddened instantly.Ivano didn't say a single word. He simply stared at her, his gaze as cold as if she were a stranger.

Third-person POVThe night after Cristina received the anonymous email, Ivano sat at the head of a private room in an upscale club on the outskirts of the city, casually sipping his drink and making small talk.Odorico Dante, a partner on the Fennaris project, approached with his own glass and clinked it against Ivano's."Mr. Dominici, you truly have some remarkable talent around you. Just the other day, I saw the design sketch posted by Ms. Giada Soave. The Soave family sure has put a lot of effort into nurturing her. Even her casual sketches have a certain charm."Ivano took a sip of his drink calmly. "She just does it to pass the time. She's not a professional designer.""Of course. She's the Principessa, after all. As long as she's happy." Odorico laughed, agreeing.Then, he swiftly changed the subject. This time, his tone was more excited. "But speaking of real professional designers, we've unexpectedly recruited a rare genius for our overseas project today!"Ivano didn't l
