My Mafia Family Chose the Fake Princess Over Me Chapter 10
Just like that, more than two months went by.A huge storm hit Asunia.All the Bertoni family's businesses were liquidated in bankruptcy. The once-powerful mafia family would never rise again.After Adrian finished dealing with the fallout, he sent a servant to ask for my protection. All he wanted was to keep their old enemies from coming after them.I said yes.He didn't push his luck. He and Lenora, who now spent her days in a fog, moved into the basic two-bedroom condo I'd bought for them.He looked for work for a long time before a small company finally took him on as a stock clerk. Day after day, he got by on the cheap fast food he'd always looked down on.If someone stepped on his foot as he walked down the street, he'd apologize automatically.In just two months, the proud Adrian Bertoni had been completely beaten down by life.And then there was Bryce.After the Sedgwick family's business was liquidated, he was buried in debt and hunted by people out for his blood.With nowhere

I started a video call and asked casually, "Bryce, do you really want to marry me?"Bryce looked around until he finally spotted the video screen to the left of the gate.His face lit up, and he leaned eagerly toward the screen."Yes! I want to marry you. I've liked you from the very start. Jennifer just fooled me.""We'll have a good life together. I'll spend the rest of my life loving you."I scoffed. "Bryce, your memory really is terrible. Didn't you say you'd call off our engagement if I refused to apologize to Jennifer?"I didn't hide my scorn as I continued. "I also told you I was the one dumping you, not the other way around.""Back when the Sedgwick family was at its peak, I still wasn't interested. You really think I'll want you now that you're drowning in debt?""Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't pick up trash."In an instant, the color drained from Bryce's face.He clenched his fists as if he wanted to make one last plea. But the coldness in my eyes told him nothing he sa

Lenora was stunned.She couldn't lie to herself anymore. For 18 years, she'd protected the girl she'd raised as her own with everything she had. She'd even turned her back on her biological daughter to protect her. Yet that girl had made a mockery of all her love and tenderness."Jennifer!""How dare you lie to me? You were never sick at all!"Lenora rushed at Jennifer, screaming.Jennifer took advantage of the moment to shove Lenora toward the hound, then kept running for the front door.Still running, she shouted back, "You were stupid enough to fall for it, so don't blame me! If I hadn't pretended to be sick, would you have spent all that money on me?""You both said I was no different from your own flesh and blood. So why shouldn't I get to spend your money? Now you regret it? What a pair of hypocrites!""You're the ones who got on Eloise's bad side. I never..."Before Jennifer could finish, she found her path blocked by a wall of towering men.One of the burly mercenaries grabbed

Corvo Manor.Not long after I left, Adrian's phone started ringing like crazy.The calls were all from his most trusted men, whom he'd put in charge of the various businesses.They all told him the same thing: the businesses had been raided and shut down.The mafia families he'd done business with turned on him one after another, blaming him and demanding compensation.Just like that, the once-powerful Bertoni family was on the verge of collapse.Adrian's brow furrowed. His hand went slack, and the phone fell to the floor.But he didn't pick it up. He just kept muttering, "This can't be... How did this happen?"The Bertoni empire had stood for more than a century. Was it really going to collapse on his watch?But all he'd wanted was to protect the sister he'd grown up with. What had he done wrong?Just then, one of his men came in and handed him a file."Mr. Bertoni, we found the information you requested about Miss Eloise."Adrian snatched up the file.It gave a detailed account of ev

When James saw that I'd decided to leave, his expression finally eased a little.He turned to Jennifer."Take off Eloise's gown."His voice was calm, even a little amused, but there was no mistaking the command. "This gown is worth more than ten million dollars. Barcelo himself can confirm who it was made for. If you don't take it off, get ready to see what the Percival Group can do.""The Bertoni family already has a rotten reputation. Taking your family down would practically be a public service."Jennifer was shaking all over, tears streaming down her face."Could... could I at least go to my room to take it off..."James raised an eyebrow."You think I'm asking?"James had a reputation as a carefree playboy who always wore a smile. But beneath that easygoing exterior, he was every bit as ruthless as the feared Hugo.Jennifer instinctively turned to Adrian and Bryce for help, but neither said a word.Finally, she turned to me, her voice trembling. "Please... say something..."I spre

The arrogance James had shown just moments ago was nowhere to be seen.He hung his head, doing his best to look pitiful."Having fun out here? You haven't answered my texts in three days. Did you forget to unblock me again?""Forgetting about me is one thing, but even Grandpa's lost his cool. He's been yelling at everyone back home every day."As he talked, he reached out and gave my sleeve a careful little tug, practically begging. "Come home with me, sis."Before long, Hugo came over too.To the outside world, Hugo was a cold, ruthless duke. Without missing a beat, he swatted James's hand away."Quit trying to sweet-talk my sister." He crouched down, retied my loose shoelace, then wiped the embossed toe of my shoe with his sleeve. "Eloise, come home with me. We still have plenty of family matters waiting on you, and the palace has already summoned you three times. If you don't show your face soon, I'm going to run out of excuses."Both his voice and his movements were impossibly gent
