Alle Kapitel von Donna's Revenge: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 9

"Stop right there," Louis said coldly. "Shirley, go to my study and get Jenny's asthma medication. It's in the bottom safe." I stopped dead in my tracks. Louis's study held the family's most secretive documents, and even I needed multiple approvals to enter. And now, the safe that held secrets the entire family's survival depended on contained a woman's asthma inhaler. A chill slowly spread down my spine. "I'm not going." As if on cue, Jenny began breathing weakly in Louis's arms. "Please, Shirley. Can you get it for me? I feel awful." Her little performance was so perfectly timed that it put all the pressure on me. Louis frowned deeply. "Shirley, I know you don't like Jenny, but this isn't the time to throw a tantrum. Jenny can't wait for her medication. Are you really going to stand there and wait for something to happen to her?" His words were cruel, as if refusing him would leave me with blood on my hands. I suppressed my anger and went to the study. The study I r

Jenny walked calmly to the long table and gave a slight nod. "Elders, if I may add a few things." She spoke clearly and methodically, with none of her usual frailty. She laid out the rival gangs' territories and explained the losses and weaknesses of the underground casino in detail. I knew every word she said. They came straight from the reports on the family's situation that I stayed up late preparing every week and regularly mailed to Louis. However, Louis had never gotten my mail. But now, Jenny was presenting all my hard work as her own, repeating my findings word for word. Instantly, praise filled the room. "While the Donna is talking nonsense, Ms. Jenny has such a clear understanding of the situation." "With someone this sharp helping the Don, the Cascino family will be unstoppable." No one cared about me. I sat there, burning with fever, but my hands and feet were cold. For eight years, I had risked my life and given everything I had to pave the way forwar

The banquet hall fell silent. Many of the guests recognized him and stood up to greet him. "It's the Corsi family's Don!" "He hasn't attended a public gathering with the major families for years. To think he would be here in person tonight." The Corsi family was the most powerful force in Westland's underworld. Their roots ran deep, and every established family had to show them respect. Don Augusto Corsi was known for his ruthlessness and fierce loyalty to his own people. He rarely attended gatherings like this. The one who hosted the Candlelight Summit hurried over, bowed, and offered him the seat of honor at the center of the hall. "Don Corsi, we are honored to have you at our summit. Please, take the seat of honor." But he simply walked past everyone crowding around him as his gaze swept across the room and stopped on me. He took my hand and led me to the seat of honor in the center. Louis got to his feet and let out a cold laugh. "Don Corsi, what are you doing? Sh

From the day I returned to the Corsi family, Louis had called me countless times. I blocked him and didn't answer a single call. Three months later, I inherited all my father's authority in the Corsi family. Everyone in the family trusted and respected me completely. I began going after the Cascino family. I had my people approach several of Louis's top lieutenants with offers they could not refuse. They had followed Louis for money and power to begin with. Now that Louis had thrown the family into chaos over one woman, some of them had been unhappy for a long time. Within just two months, the Cascino family had lost all its key members. Louis began to panic. He finally tracked me down after a business association meeting. His face was sickly gray while his chin was covered in stubble, and exhaustion showed in his eyes. Thanks to me, he had been having a tough time. And for the first time, I saw regret in his eyes. "Shirley, what will it take to get you to stop? We buil

My father had Louis tortured in the Corsi family's secret room for a week before letting him out. Louis used all the money he had left to bribe the guards, hoping to see me just once. When word reached me, I was reading documents in the study. I didn't even look up. "Let him in." When Louis came into the study, I could barely recognize him. He had lost so much weight that his cheekbones stood out sharply. I put down the documents, leaned back in my chair, and looked down at him. "What do you want?" Louis stared at me with longing and stayed silent for a long time. Finally, he knelt on one knee before me. "Shirley." His voice was very hoarse. "I was wrong. The Cascino family is finished. I have nothing left. I know I deserve all of it." I looked at him without saying anything. Louis raised his head, his eyes red. "I understand everything now. I was a fool to let Jenny deceive me. I betrayed the love and devotion you'd shown me for eight years. I've already killed
