Reborn Principessa: She's Done Holding On Chapter 10
In that instant, everyone in the hall fell silent before erupting into chaos.Marcello's face went deathly pale. He stared at me with trembling lips, asking, "H-How did you obtain all of these, Valentina?"I replied flatly, "It doesn't matter where or how I obtained them. What matters is that you've been acting like the whistleblower, Marcello, when you were the one committing the crime."Their camera flashes went off again in a frenzy, but every one of them was focused on Marcello—exposing his ashen face, his shaking hands, and eyes that were steadily hollowing out. He stood there, motionless, like a man who had lost his soul in an instant.I noticed then that he had unconsciously crossed his fingers on his left hand again. I found it hard to believe that even when he was caught red-handed, even with his deception unraveled and his back against the wall, his primary impulse remained the same—to tell a lie.I felt my heart growing cold as my last shred of hesitation and foolish ho

It was finally the day of the DeepBlue Gen-1 press conference. The venue was packed, and Marcello was there as well.I didn't glance at him. I took a deep breath and tightened my grip on the mic as I headed onto the stage. I spotted Marcello in the third row just as the stage lights flared. He was dressed in a plain gray sweater, a silent figure apart from the crowd.He had become noticeably thinner, his features more angular. He, however, watched me with that same unwavering attention I had known throughout our six years together.In that instant, our gaze met briefly. Marcello nodded at me, but I looked away and tightened my grip on the mic instead. "Good afternoon. I'm Valentina Sabato, the Marketing Director of DeepBlue Technology."I smoothly presented our product. I explained the design concept, core technologies, and use cases of the DeepBlue Gen-1 products, with applause following every section of my presentation. It was all going according to plan when a bespectacled

Marcello showed up the day before the product launch press conference. He was waiting at the entrance of DeepBlue Technology, dressed casually in a white shirt and jeans with a paper bag in his hand. As I headed inside, he stopped me. "Valentina!"I hadn't seen him for two months. I noticed that he looked visibly thinner, with prominent dark circles under his eyes. "Is there anything I can help you with?" I asked.Marcello handed me the paper bag, replying, "I brought you this. It's the meat pie you used to enjoy from the place on the east side of town."I was stunned, as that place was quite a distance away, a drive of more than an hour. Marcello used to buy me meat pies from that place to placate me whenever I was in a bad mood. "M-Marcello—"He cut me off, saying, "You shouldn't refuse it. Think of it as a final gesture from me."I simply accepted the paper bag.Marcello looked at me and said, "I'll be attending the press conference tomorrow.""What for?"He replied calm

It turned out that my new job at DeepBlue Technology was more demanding than I had anticipated. It was still a small company with limited resources, so everyone had to juggle several different responsibilities.I was the marketing director, but I found myself writing copy, handling customer inquiries, and packing boxes for shipment as well. In spite of that, I still felt a strange sense of fulfillment. I was out from dawn until dusk, hashing out strategies, running market surveys, and talking to suppliers. I used to scoff at such "trifle duties", but they had become my reality.Stefano was even more of a workaholic. He used his left hand to code while his right hand was still in a cast, napping at his desk for only two hours when he was tired before getting back to work. He was almost paranoid about the product's quality, tweaking button placements ten times over and rewriting copy dozens of times."You don't need to push yourself this hard," I said at 1:00 am as I handed him a

I met up with Stefano three days later, following through on our arrangement.Stefano's face injuries had mostly healed, though his right hand was still in a cast. He offered his left hand upon seeing me, saying, "I'm sorry, but this is the only way I can shake hands for the time being." I chuckled softly and shook his hand with my left hand.Stefano took out a flash drive from his desk drawer and handed it to me. "You'll find proof of Marcello's crimes inside this."I looked at the black flash drive, my heart skipping a beat. "Why are you telling me this? You could have handled this yourself, Mr. Lombardi."Stefano looked me in the eye and replied, "It's because I want to see what choice you'll make."I instantly grasped the situation. If I still loved Marcello, I might have asked Stefano to bury the evidence. If I sought retribution, this was the perfect tool. I slid the flash drive back toward Stefano and said, "I'm not going to get involved here. It's your affair, so it'

Marcello fell silent for a long time before the call abruptly ended.I gazed at the darkened phone screen and remained motionless for a long time. I eventually returned to Sabato Estate as the rain started pouring. As soon as I returned, I noticed a familiar silhouette standing in the rain—it was Marcello.Marcello rushed over but came to a halt a few feet back, seemingly wary of upsetting me further. "What exactly did you mean by what you told me earlier, Valentina?"I remained silent, only gesturing for the household staff waiting for me to provide Marcello with an umbrella too.Marcello grabbed my wrist just as I moved past him. "Why would you say that in front of your mother and father? Do you realize how much my hands were trembling as I left Sabato Estate back then, Valentina? "Why would you refuse to see me? Why did you claim that you died once before, and that I was the one who killed you, Valentina?"I looked into Marcello's eyes, finding them clouded with real suffer
