All Chapters of When the Fool Heals the Mafia: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

He leaned back against the leather seat, his eyes still glued to the screen, watching her cold, fierce expression as she issued her commands."Everyone in the city thinks you are fragile, thinks you are a doll to be played with... but I knew better. I knew exactly what you were capable of from the moment you spoke to me."He let out a low, breathless laugh, his eyes shining with respect and excitement."You are terrifying when you handle business, Mrs. Walton... absolutely terrifying. But God... you are magnificent to watch."He turned the phone slightly, zooming in on her face, memorizing the confidence radiating from her."Those men in there thought they were the sharks... but they didn't realize they had just walked into the den of a lioness. And my... what a beautiful lioness you are."Finn, still glancing nervously at the rearview mirror, saw Zogo laughing and talking softly to himself while looking at the screen. He turned back to Brook, his expression one of pure bewilderment."

Traveno Knox.Just the name alone carried enormous weight and authority. He was the untouchable leader of Thione Corporation, a man who stood at the very peak of the industry, great and feared by all. Countless powerful companies had spent years, poured in endless resources, and tried every possible way just to establish even the smallest connection with him. Most never even managed to secure a single meeting. Many had gone bankrupt or faded away entirely while desperately chasing his favor.Yet here sat Amara, speaking of him as if their partnership had been settled and sealed long ago, as if Treveno Knox was simply an extension of her own will, a tool she could use whenever and however she pleased.Damian’s thoughts became increasingly tangled and complicated.Just how many people did she truly know? How many alliances, agreements, and powerful connections had she quietly built behind the scenes, without anyone noticing, without anyone suspecting? And more importantly, just how much

Amara’s smile widened, cold and sharp, cutting through his excuses like a blade. She leaned back in the large CEO’s chair, looking at him as one would look at a child caught stealing candy: amused, disappointed, and entirely in control.“Is that so, Uncle?” she asked, her tone dripping with mock sweetness. “You told them I was unstable, unfit, and incapable… all because you were worried about my health? You whispered to them that I was too young, too naive, too confused… and you did that out of the goodness of your heart? Tell me… did you also mention to them how you visited every single director’s office one by one, long before this meeting? Did you tell them how you promised them higher positions, bigger shares, and full authority… if only they would stand against hand and me the company over to you?”Damian went completely still. His face drained of all color until he looked like a ghost.Edgar stiffened in his seat, his jaw tightening so hard the muscles stood out. His calm, ruthl

Zogo noticed every little detail: the faint blush spreading across Amara’s cheeks, the deep red that crept all the way to the tips of her ears, and the way she quickly lowered her head, burying herself behind the documents as if she could hide her fluster between the pages. To anyone else in the room, she might have looked perfectly calm and composed, but not to him. He saw it all clearly, and strangely enough, he found it utterly adorable.A soft, knowing smile touched his eyes, though he wisely chose not to say a word about it. He knew if he teased her now, she would only grow even more embarrassed, and he rather liked seeing this shy, unguarded side of her.Truthfully, Zogo did not fully understand himself either. Ever since the day they first met, something inside him had shifted, and a side of him he never even knew existed had begun to emerge freely and naturally, without any effort or pretense. With everyone else, he remained exactly the man the whole business world knew: cold,

“As for why it was kept hidden,” she continued, a cold glint appearing in her eyes, “what do you think would have happened if people found out that I…the one you all called a fool and confused, the granddaughter of Don Victor, had married Zogo Walton? It would have happened before I was even ready, before I had properly taken my place in this company. Every greedy person, every opportunist, every vulture would have come running not to help me, but to use this marriage to ask for favors, to demand shares, and to grab power. And you two would have been the first to twist this into something ugly, wouldn’t you?”Damian opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out at first. When he finally found his voice, it sounded rough and unsteady.“But… this is impossible! How could Father agree to something like this without asking the rest of the family? Without even telling us? It goes against all our traditions…”“Tradition?” Amara spoke softly, but there was a sharp edge to her words. “My g
