《After My Daughter Died, I Revealed I Was the Mafia Boss》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 9 章

"Donna, you've spent years lying low and turning the organization legitimate. You did all that so you could one day reunite with Ms. Cecily openly. If you reveal yourself now, everything you've built could fall apart. Your enemies will come after you again."My lieutenant, Leon Ward, tried to talk me out of it.The East Coast Don had grown much stronger. I knew this was a terrible time to resurface.But my daughter was dead. What did any of my sacrifices matter now?Even if it meant endless war, even if I died taking them down, I would drag the Griffiths family to hell with me!"Leon, I've made my decision. Don't try to stop me."With that, I boarded my yacht and left the island where I had been hiding for ten years.Before heading to the Griffiths estate, I contacted a prosthetic makeup artist I had worked with many times.I heard Selwyn was searching for Cecily by the sea, so he probably didn't know she was dead.Before taking revenge, I wanted to take my daughter's place and find ou

I had deliberately missed every vital organ. I would not give her such an easy death.I would make each of them pay for what they had done to Cecily, one debt at a time.The sight sent the guests into an uproar.Hearing the commotion, Selwyn came running.First, he saw Helena clutching her head and screaming.Then he saw his fiancée lying in a pool of blood. His expression darkened."Get a doctor! Now!"After the physician took both women away, Selwyn charged at me and grabbed my wrist.He had trained in fencing, and he was much stronger than me.When he squeezed my wrist, blood seeped from the wound where I had cut away my tattoo.Sharp pain shot through me, and my strength gave out.My dagger fell from my hand and hit the floor.Selwyn glared at me. "Cecily, what the hell is wrong with you now? Wasn't being tied up and left to starve by the sea for three days and nights enough to teach you a lesson? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you climbed into my bed while I

The guests who had been eyeing me eagerly recoiled in shock."Wh-what? Are you saying you're Grace?"I gave a cold laugh and peeled the prosthetic mask from my face, revealing features that resembled Cecily's but were clearly my own.Selwyn's eyes widened in terror.But he quickly recovered."Times have changed! Do you think you're still the Donna everyone feared after hiding on an island for ten years? Your largest mining company? I shorted it years ago."Once again, Selwyn showed me how little I really knew about him.He and his family were vile.They had forgotten everything I'd done for them. Worse, they had used my trust to plot against me right under my nose.Selwyn struggled to his feet, one hand pressed against his bleeding thigh.He looked at me with a smug, vicious smile."Whether she's Cecily or Grace, she's still just one woman. Whoever takes her down can do whatever he wants with her. I'll also give him ten percent of my shares as a reward."The Griffiths family's business

Selwyn stumbled back and shook his head wildly."No. No, you're lying. You're trying to turn me against Iliana."Then he seemed to remember something, and his confidence returned."How could Cecily be carrying my child? I didn't want a baby causing trouble, so I had her uterus removed long ago!"His words hit me like a bolt of lightning. My vision darkened.My heart pounded. What else had my daughter endured while I was gone?Everyone who had harmed her would pay. Rage consumed me. I wanted to tear Selwyn apart with my bare hands. "You bastard! How could you? How dare you!"How dare he do that to Cecily? How dare he take away her chance to ever become a mother?I did not know how Cecily had become pregnant, but Selwyn's confession proved he had abused her far worse than I'd known.Selwyn calmed down and moved the tip of the dagger to my heart."What a pity, Grace. Your bloodline is about to end. Rest in peace. I'll take your wealth, your daughter, and your organization."As he raised t

I spoke with the confidence of someone used to giving orders.My offer had clearly tempted him, but Valentin only spun the ring on his finger. "If I kill you, I lose a competitor. I still get the money, power, and profit."I smiled. "You're no fool, Valentin. You know the West Coast has stayed peaceful because someone has been keeping it that way. That someone is me. I faked my death, but my allies, lieutenants, and informants are everywhere. Without me, do you really think you could control them all?"Valentin fell silent. After a long moment, he lowered his gun.His gaze was still hostile, but I caught a hint of admiration."Everyone says you lost your protection when your husband died and could only wait for your enemies to destroy you. But I always knew your power never came from a man. Grace, it came from you."I took it as the highest compliment. And I knew I deserved it.Valentin left, leaving Leon stunned.I gave my men a look. They grabbed Leon by the shoulders and forced him
