Adrian suddenly looked up. "It's fake."

Thomas froze. "Don Adrian?"

"I said this is fake!" Adrian slammed the document onto the table, his face looking terrifyingly grim. "When did I sign anything like this?"

Thomas' lips moved. "Last week. Mrs. Veta... Ms. Alfonsi sent several port handover documents to the headquarters. You were in a hurry to deal with Ms. Ricci's problem."

Adrian's expression suddenly froze. As if he had finally remembered something, he grabbed the documents and quickly

  • The Don's Neglect   Chapter 10

    All the assets under Adrian's name had been frozen to cover the losses Mirena caused. Verona Port also had a new manager. However, the partners who had left did not return.Some things, once lost, could never truly be restored just by saying it would be restored.A month later, I met Adrian again in North Shore. He stood alone outside the new port, waiting from afternoon until dark.When I came out of my meeting, he had turned pale from the sea wind. "Lavinia."I stopped. "What else do you need?"Adrian looked at the busy port behind me.The cranes were moving back and forth, and a cargo ship was slowly entering the port in the distance."I only found out today that this line was originally intended for the Veta family by the San Luca family."I did not deny it.He forced a smile. "They would rather give it to you now.""Yeah.""Because you wouldn't change a contract on a whim or use a business partner as leverage to teach your wife a lesson."Adrian went pale, and I remain

    The hopeful look on Adrian's face slowly faded. "This... might be a misunderstanding."I smiled. "What misunderstanding?""Mirena doesn't need to steal the Veta family's goods.""Then investigate it." I handed the phone over. "Find out the truth. Wouldn't that clear her name?"Adrian's hand hung at his side, hesitating to take it. "Lavinia, although she has made many mistakes, she has been with me for several years. If I hand her over to the family council, she will...""What? " I stared at him. "Be expelled from the Veta family? Pay back the losses, or would she never be allowed near the ports again?"Adrian's teeth clenched. "She's still young."I laughed out loud.Every time Mirena made a mistake, he always gave the same excuses—she was young, it was the first time she managed a port, she had no experience, or she meant no harm.When I took over the shipping routes my mother left behind at 18, no one told me I was allowed to make mistakes. I failed once, and the loss was th

    "Your port?""Yeah." I handed the document to the deputy behind me. "The new port on the East Coast. Starting next month, all three international shipping routes will pass through here."Adrian's lips twitched twice. "So you planned this all along? Leaving me, returning to North Shore, and competing with the Veta family for business… You planned it all?"I burst out laughing. "Adrian, do you still think everything revolves around you? "His pupils contracted while I continued, "Before I left the Veta family, I didn't steal any of your lines. Now the people from North Shore negotiate these collaborations themselves. As for why others would rather cooperate with us, you should ask Mirena yourself."Adrian's expression suddenly darkened, not wanting to hear that name. "She's no longer important."He suddenly took out a box from his pocket, opened it, and inside was a new ring. "You didn't want the old one anymore, so I ordered a new one for you."I did not take it.Adrian's hand f

    When he gave the order, the entire headquarters fell into a state of silence.Mirena stood before him in disbelief. "You want to kick me out of Verona Port?"Adrian lowered his head as he flipped through the documents. "Just temporarily.""Why?" she questioned forcefully. "Just because Lavinia left?""Haven't there been enough problems these days?" Adrian looked up, his eyes bloodshot. "Which of these recent problems wasn't caused by you?"Her tears fell instantly. "You've never spoken to me like this before.""Lavinia was here before."With one sentence, the entire room fell silent.Mirena turned pale, and Adrian himself was stunned.Whenever she got into trouble in the past, someone would always clean it up for her. He never even knew how serious those messes were because I would handle them thoroughly every time.That night, he returned to the manor alone.The master bedroom was still empty, and all my clothes had been taken away. There was no perfume or jewelry on the dr

    The members of the San Luca family were blocking the entrance to the warehouse, with more than a dozen people on each side holding guns.Mirena stood in the crowd, her face pale. "Don Adrian!"Seeing Adrian, she rushed over immediately, as if she had seen her savior. "They're being unreasonable!"The capo of the San Luca family sneered, "Unreasonable?"He threw a document onto the ground. "This is the unloading sequence Lavinia set! Pier 8 was supposed to keep Berth 3 open for us until 2:00 am, but your men let another ship dock at the last minute.”Mirena hurriedly explained. "That batch of goods has a higher profit margin!""So you think you can just detain our ship?"The other party abruptly drew his gun, and Adrian's expression darkened. "Put the gun down."However, the man did not show any courtesy. "When the Donna was here, this kind of thing never happened. Now you've brought in a woman who doesn't even understand the port rules. Is the Veta family trying to humiliate us

You were in a hurry to deal with Ms. Ricci's problem."Adrian's expression suddenly froze. As if he had finally remembered something, he grabbed the documents and quickly flipped to the last page. The signature was all too familiar. The sharp ending stroke, slightly tilted to the right, was definitely his handwriting.Adrian's breathing suddenly became heavy. "Call the lawyer."Half an hour later, the lawyer, Jacob Riccardo, was brought into the manor.Adrian threw the documents in front of him. "Revoke it."Jacob glanced down and answered carefully, "Don Adrian, the agreement has already been filed.""Then cancel the filing!""Ms. Alfonsi has signed it, an
