After my sister, Mona Ramsey, and I graduated from college, our family went bankrupt. Our father gave us two options: One was to marry into the Whites through an alliance. The other was to take over the company and clean up the mess. In my previous life, Mona wanted the rich socialite lifestyle and chose to marry into the Whites.

Staying would be far more miserable than marrying into the Whites.

Just saved the evidence. They were about to learn the price of betraying a mafia princess.
