บททั้งหมดของ They Thought the Mafia Heiress Was Mute: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Soren raked his gaze over me and said shamelessly, “She looks even more tempting than the other one.”“You bastard, stay away from my daughters!” my father roared in fury.Before he could make a move, however, more than a dozen gun barrels were pressed against my father’s head and the heads of his three sons.The man who had dominated Sicily for decades and had never bowed to anyone suddenly went weak in the knees and dropped heavily to them.He raised both hands above his head and pleaded, “Let them go. This is all my fault.”“I’ll sign every agreement you want. You can have the territory, the shipping routes, the accounts. I won’t keep a single thing.”“Please, just let them go.”Gabriel, my eldest brother, and Ezio, my fourth brother, shouted at the same time, “Dad! Get up! Don’t beg him!”Luca was still being restrained by Soren’s men and could not break free, leaving him no choice but to watch everything unfold, his eyes red.Soren showed no mercy and kicked my father hard. “Old m

Soren stopped paying attention to the others and slowly shifted his gaze to me.He raised a hand, let his fingertips trail along my neck, and lifted my chin.“Pretty little thing. You’ve got some skill, and I like that.”I met his gaze without flinching and said nothing.“Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve heard your voice yet. Can’t you speak?”He brushed his fingers lightly across my lips again.I slowly raised my right hand and made a gesture toward the outside.Soren naturally had no idea what it meant and gave me a lecherous grin. “What’s this? Trying to charm me?”“Relax. I’ll take very good care of you tonight. And if you can’t scream, that saves me the trouble.”Let him laugh.In a moment, I would see whether he still could.What he failed to notice was that the glaring red laser dots around the room were winking out one by one.Silently.The perimeter was clear.I looked directly at him as the corner of my mouth slowly curved upward.Soren took my expression as a sign tha

Soren still refused to believe it, and with his face flushed red, he shouted at the top of his lungs, “It’s fake! That voice has to be synthesized! You think you can scare me with a fake recording of my father?”I ignored him and spoke into the phone. “Vincent, I called because I wanted to let you know in advance that I’m not dead, but I don’t intend to renew our agreement.”The man on the other end immediately panicked. “No, you can’t do that, C! Did we do something wrong? Just tell me what you want, and I’ll give you anything!”“I’m at the Valenti estate right now,” I said. “Massimo Valenti is my father.”The other end of the line suddenly went silent.“As for why I don’t want to renew it,” I continued with a cold laugh, “call your son on video and see for yourself what he’s doing.”It took Vincent a long moment before he finally stammered, “I-I didn’t know. I swear I had no idea the Valentis were your family! If I had known, how could I possibly have let this happen?”“I was a fool,

On the other end of the video call, Vincent’s face had turned livid with rage as he shouted, “Get the jet ready right now! I’m going over there myself, and I’ll skin that idiot alive with my own hands!”If there had not been a screen between them, Soren would probably have already taken a slap across the face.I casually rubbed my ear and said, “Vincent, your son really is noisy.”Still being held down on the floor, Soren stared fixedly at the computer screen on the table.The screen displayed the page for transferring the Valenti family’s assets, with every preliminary step already completed and only the final confirmation left.The moment he pressed that button, all of the Valenti family’s funds would be transferred into the Eight Families’ joint account.It was his last chance to turn the situation around.I saw exactly what he was thinking and said, “Let him go and let him press it.”The men released him, and Soren scrambled toward the computer.I walked over and stopped beside him

There was a new restraint in the way they looked at me, as if they were suddenly unsure how to act around me.Vera’s eyes were still red, and she gripped the hem of her coat tightly with both hands before taking a small, uneasy step backward.She probably thought that I had become far stronger than she had ever imagined and no longer needed an older sister standing in front of me to protect me.Seeing how tense everyone was, I simply stretched my arms in front of them and let out a lazy yawn.Then I took Vera by the hand and pulled her down onto the sofa with me.Leaning against her side, I murmured weakly, “Vera, talking is exhausting, and dealing with all this trouble is even worse.”“Now that I’m home, can’t I just leave C behind?”I tilted my head toward them, blinked, and softened my voice in a deliberately pleading tone. “Dad, Gabriel, Luca, Aldo, Ezio, and Vera... you’re not going to throw me out just because I happened to be good at fighting when I was away, are you?”The tensi
