Semua Bab The Don's Neglect: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Mirena could not get the foremen at the East Port under control, so she shoved the phone at me. "They're your people. Tell them to open the warehouse gates."After failing to negotiate with the San Luca family, I was sent to finish the job.Mirena could not even deal with a shipment held up by customs. I eventually had to call in favors to sort it out.At the family meeting after the matter was resolved, it was she who gave the report while standing beside Adrian, "The problem has been solved."Adrian nodded. "Well done."Marcus was not there, but the capo who had followed me for many years could not help but say, "Don Adrian, this is actually the Donna's..."Adrian shot him a cold and sharp look. He immediately fell silent and said nothing more.Adrian tapped the table with his knuckles, his gaze turning cold. "Mirena now represents me, and Lavinia Alfonsi is doing this on behalf of the Veta family by supporting her. What's the problem?"No one said another word, but several c

The port stronghold that had once belonged to me was now under someone else's control. Mirena was sitting behind the desk that I had used for five years. The Verona map on the wall remained unchanged, but the men stationed beside it had been replaced with hers.Seeing me enter, she immediately stood up. "Donna, Don Adrian said that this place belongs to me from now on. I've sent your things back to the manor."I walked in and took away the last personal ledger that was mine. "Got it."She seemed surprised. "You're really not angry?""Why should I?"Mirena looked at me for a few seconds and replied with a sneer, "Don Adrian is right. You learned your place the moment he neglected you for a bit. You care so much about him that you can't bear to leave."I had no intention of arguing with her. Since she thought I could not leave, she could continue with that thought.Just as I was about to leave, footsteps were heard outside the corridor. Adrian came over with several capos. Seeing

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

"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

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
