Chapter 8

ผู้เขียน: Mountain River
Valentina trembled with rage, tears pooling in her eyes. But under Marco's unwavering glare, she could only grit her teeth and mumble quickly like a mosquito, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hit you or slashed your face with scissors."

Satisfaction bloomed in my chest, but I deliberately tilted my ear and said dramatically, "What did you just say, Signorina Accardi? I didn't catch a single word."

Valentina looked ready to explode. She glared at me viciously, the veins in her neck bulging as she roared word by word, "I said I'm sorry! I shouldn't have hit you! Please come back to the Castellano family!"

Her voice was loud enough that even passersby on the street turned to look. I nodded with satisfaction. That sound was music to my ears.

Both Marco's and Valentina's expressions relaxed considerably when they saw me nod. They thought I'd given in. Marco immediately pulled out a document, his face plastered with a warm smile.

"Benedetta, this is a new 'lifetime loyalty contract' I drew

  • Ridiculed as Trash, Crowned at the Peak   Chapter 10

    I forced down the urge to smile and coughed dramatically, putting on a thoughtful expression."Well, I am at the age where I should think about my future. My parents keep pressuring me to go back. They say they've arranged a marriage alliance for me. I suppose I should consider it."The moment those words left my mouth, Lorenzo's carefully maintained composure crumbled. He grabbed my hand tightly, his eyes filled with panic."No! Absolutely not! You haven't even met them. That kind of marriage will never make you happy!"I couldn't help laughing. I teased, "What? Does the Romano family have rules against getting married?"Lorenzo froze, then realized I was messing with him. He sighed helplessly, but his eyes became more serious than ever. He looked at me like he was making a vow."Benedetta, I've liked you for a long time. Will you be my girlfriend?"I only hesitated for three seconds before nodding decisively. Where else would I find a man this handsome, powerful, influential,

    I didn't hesitate and agreed with a nod. I'd heard that underworld balls not only featured the finest wines but also offered chances to meet all kinds of people. This was the perfect opportunity to expand my network.That evening, Lorenzo sent over several haute couture gowns from Melania along with matching jewelry. I chose a deep red velvet gown paired with coordinating diamond accessories.When Lorenzo took my hand and led me into the magnificent ballroom, the previously noisy venue fell instantly silent, followed by countless curious stares. Among those gazes, I caught two particularly hostile ones filled with jealousy and malice.Sure enough, I spotted Marco and Valentina. After just half a month, Marco looked ten years older. Though his suit was expensive, it seemed like it hadn't been properly maintained in a while.Valentina wore last season's sequined dress. Surrounded by socialites in current haute couture, she looked particularly shabby.They stared at me like they want

    When Valentina saw Marco, she beamed at him. "Darling, I just saw a ten-carat pink diamond necklace. It's only 30 million dollars. Can you transfer the money to me?"Marco's heart seized when he heard that figure. He frowned. "Didn't you just buy a haute couture jewelry set in Maris last week?"Valentina pouted in dissatisfaction. "Those are all last season's old pieces. I want something unique and new."Even trash like Benedetta gets to wear royal sapphires. I'm your fiancee. I can't let her outshine me, can I?"She should have left well enough alone. The moment she mentioned my name, Marco's rage flared beyond control."You have the nerve to bring her up? Do you have any idea how much the family has lost because you drove her away? In just three days, we've lost seven core partners and three casinos!"This was the first time Valentina had seen Marco this furious. Her face went pale, her voice trembling. "Marco, what's wrong? You've never been this harsh with me before…"Seeing

    Marco's brows furrowed, his eyes vicious enough to devour someone. "20 million dollars? Benedetta, you've got quite an appetite!""Don't want to pay?" I shrugged indifferently and waved my phone."If I send the other mafia families news about the Castellano family trying to welch on its debts, along with this recording and video of Valentina's assault, you'd be in deep trouble. Wouldn't you?"Marco's face turned ashen with rage. The veins in his neck bulged as he snarled at Maximo, "Give it to her! Transfer 20 million dollars now! Get her out of here!"Valentina's eyes went wide as she shrieked, "Marco! How can you give her that much money? She was planning to leave the family anyway! We don't owe her a single cent!"Marco whipped around, shocked. "Why didn't you tell me that earlier?"I'd worked for the Castellano family for five years, so taking this money and leaving was completely reasonable. After receiving the bank transfer notification, I grinned at the pair of them."I'v

    Nico had already reported to Marco that I was blessed by the god of fortune.Although Marco was a science-minded dictator who didn't buy into that sort of thing, he'd maintained a surface level of respect for my abilities given that I brought in billions of dollars in net profit for the family every year.He frowned and strode over. He snatched the scissors from Valentina's hand and tossed them aside. "Valentina, what are you doing? Family members don't hurt each other."The moment Valentina saw him, her vicious expression instantly switched to a wounded look. Tears came on command."Marco, this backstabbing bitch was caught making dirty money behind the family's back! Not only did she refuse to admit it, but she even tried to hit me. I just panicked for a moment and wanted to scare her…"Hearing this, Marco turned to look at me, his gaze dark. "How did you find out?"Valentina held up the sapphire necklace like a trophy. "I found this on her! Royal jewelry of this quality? The
