Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

Isabella bought several items at this store and was about to pay, but Evelyn took out money and paid first.

“This is on me,” Evelyn said to Isabella. “You don’t have to be polite.”

“Thank you, Evelyn. I’ll treat you to a meal later,” Isabella replied without formality.

She knew that Evelyn was trying to comfort her because she was in a bad mood. So she gave Evelyn a chance to comfort her.

Then they went to a jewelry store. Just as Isabella was about to ask the shop assistant to show her a delicate diamond ring, a voice sounded from behind her. “I want this diamond ring.”

The woman’s voice was full of arrogance, as if she was about to buy the ring. Isabella turned to see Karen! Karen also saw Isabella. Both were surprised.

After coming to her senses, Karen’s lips curled into a proud smile. “It’s you, Isabella. Emanuele is still lying in the hospital, and yet you have the heart to come out shopping, wanting to buy a diamond ring? Emanuele will be upset to know you don’t care about him. How sad.”

“Will he be upset? Aren’t you the one accompanying him?” Isabella said coldly, not wanting to talk to Karen. She hadn’t expected to meet Karen while out shopping, but it was quite a coincidence.

And they both had their eyes on the same diamond ring. When the shop assistant was about to hand the ring to Karen, Isabella said, “I had my eye on this first.”

“But I spoke up first, Isabella. What’s wrong? Are you trying to rob now?” Karen’s face held a smug smile. Her gaze toward Isabella was contemptuous, as if she were very disdainful. “Just because you’re Emanuele’s wife doesn’t mean I’ll let you have your way.”

She was, after all, the esteemed Bratva princess. What was Isabella compared to her? What did she have to compete with her? Even though Emanuele was also very bad to her, Karen had also noticed that Emanuele’s feelings for Isabella had faded. At least compared to the last time, she could clearly see that Emanuele didn’t like Isabella anymore. Having lost Emanuele’s favor, Isabella was now just an ordinary person. But she, she was the noble Bratva princess. She swore she would trample Isabella into the ground. She hadn’t forgotten how embarrassed she was when Isabella pushed her to the ground, and the next day she had to apologize to Isabella at her door.

Because of that wretch, that bitch, she had been a joke for a while. When she returned home, her brother told her parents about the incident, and her parents scolded her. Now that Emanuele didn’t like her anymore, she had to take the opportunity to retaliate against Isabella.

Karen’s mocking and provoking manner made Isabella very uncomfortable. At this point, Evelyn spoke up. “We came in first, chose first. You came into the store later. How can you say you had your eye on it?”

“I did speak up first,” Karen said arrogantly.

The shop assistant looked at both of them and immediately said, “Ladies, please calm down. This diamond ring is just a sample in the store and there is more in stock. If you need, I can bring one from the warehouse for you to see.”

“Then I should try this one on first, right?” Karen smiled at the shop assistant.

The shop assistant sighed. Although Isabella had entered first and had her eyes on the ring, it was indeed Karen who had spoken first about wanting to try it on. “Yes, miss. You did speak up first to try on the ring, so you should go first.”

“Well, that’s settled then. After I try it on, Isabella, it’s your turn. Sorry, but you were just too slow, so you can only pick up what I don’t want,” Karen said triumphantly.

Karen looked very happy at this moment, as if she had won a five million dollar prize. Isabella was too lazy to argue with Karen and she pulled Evelyn to leave.

Seeing Isabella about to leave, Karen couldn’t let her go. Today, she was tired of taking care of Emanuele, so she came out to go shopping, but she ran into Isabella. Well, she had to ridicule her, her love rival. If Isabella left like this, what was she going to do?

Karen immediately said, “Isabella, don’t go. I will try on the ring quickly, and then you can try it. Oh, when I go back to the hospital, I will tell Emanuele that I ran into you at the mall and saw you buying so much. Are you in a good mood? Seems like Emanuele’sinjury has actually put you in a good mood. Otherwise, one would think you are enemies, not husband and wife.”

Karen’s mocking words were like a thorn piercing Isabella’s heart, making her feel a sharp pain, difficulty breathing, a suffocating feeling, as if she were being enveloped entirely. She hadn’t felt this uncomfortable for a long time.

But even though she felt this way, facing her enemy, she had to maintain a calm and indifferent demeanor. Otherwise, the other party would surely mock her even more.

Stay composed, Isabella. You’ve been through so much already, so what’s this little scene?

But even as Isabella comforted herself, she still felt the inner discomfort crashing over her like waves.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“You, you bitch, shut up right now!” Evelyn grabbed Isabella’s hand, steadying her emotions, and unabashedly insulted Karen.

Evelyn knew that Isabella was already very upset because of Emanuele’s indifference, and now this apparent third party woman suddenly appeared before her, being so arrogant and mocking. She was Isabella’s friend, and at this moment, she had to stand up to help Isabella.

“What did you say? You actually dared to curse at me?” Initially very arrogant, with a face as proud as a queen, Karen became flustered because of Evelyn’s insult.

Isabella’s friend was also a bitch. Damn it, how dare she talk to her like this? She was going to kill her!

“Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like this? I could just kill you!” Karen said angrily.

In the past, Evelyn might have been afraid, but after what happened with William, she didn’t feel scared anymore. Furthermore, her boyfriend was James. She believed that James would definitely not let her be bullied.

“I don’t care who you are. You’re just a lowly bitch. You like Emanuele, but Emanuele is already married. You still approach him. Aren’t you ashamed? Your parents must be ashamed of you!”

“Shut up! Shut the hell up, I’m going to kill you!” Karen pointed at Evelyn, her eyes wide, a look of murderous ferocity, as if she wanted to tear Evelyn apart with her bare hands.
