Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

“Is that so? Explain to me, why did you drive my wife out of the company?” Emanuele looked at Daisy, his eyes filled with coldness and a murderous intent, as if Daisy didn’t provide a reasonable explanation, he would kill her.

Daisy was trembling in fear.

“I… I…” Daisy wanted to say something, but, due to fear, she couldn’t even complete a sentence.

The once arrogant woman was now filled with fear.

She didn’t know why, but she had a feeling that at any moment, her boss would pull out a gun and kill her.

Their company seemed normal, but the boss’s demeanor felt like that of someone who had killed numerous people.

Seeing Emanuele’s threatening demeanor, Isabella couldn’t help but hold Emanuele’s hand. “Emanuele, calm down. You’ve been working hard to clear your name. Don’t kill someone over this.”

Daisy wasn’t a good person, but she didn’t deserve to be killed.

It was just an ordinary workplace conflict.

Isabella knew that Emanuele’s company appeared legitimate on the surface, and the employees in the company were unaware of the things their boss did behind the scenes. Therefore, Isabella didn’t want Emanuele to kill the woman in front of him out of anger, as it would render his efforts in vain.

Isabella’s words acted as a calming agent, gradually calming Emanuele down.

He felt Isabella’s reasoning was right. It wasn’t worth abandoning all his efforts for the sake of this woman.

Emanuele didn’t reach for the gun at his waist.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

However, he wouldn’t let this woman off the hook.

At that moment, Phillip also arrived. Seeing the scene, he sighed and approached Emanuele. “Boss, this is Daisy, our company’s HR manager, responsible for managing the employees. She might have seen your wife in the restaurant and thought she was an employee, leading her to inquire.”

Phillip felt that if there wasn’t a problem within the company, it was best to resolve the issue quickly.

He knew Emanuele’s temper well. Once angered, he might really resort to violence.

Having been by Emanuele’s side for many years, Phillip understood Emanuele too well.

Previously, the boss had an even more ferocious temper, but after being with his wife, his temper had slightly improved. However, when faced with his wife being mistreated, he felt that the boss would still struggle to control his anger.

After all, previously, a man had been killed mercilessly for merely looking at his wife a few times.

If it were him, he would also want to kill the person who had mistreated his wife.

“This is simply ridiculous. Isabella has already explained, and you still don’t believe it. Do you still think someone would impersonate my wife? Do you think someone would have the audacity to do such a thing? Or do you believe Isabella isn’t worthy of me, that she shouldn’t be my wife?” Emanuele described the situation more and more seriously, lighting a cigarette.

The smoke dispersed, enveloping Emanuele’s face, making him look like a grim reaper emerging from hell.

Daisy, scared, retreated two steps and bumped into the dining table. She had to stop, feeling cold all over, as if her blood had frozen.

Trembling, she looked at Emanuele. “Boss, I really didn’t mean it. Please believe me. I was just… just afraid that she might be a fraud, infiltrating our Lombardi group and intending to do something bad to us.”

“Do something bad to us?” Emanuele couldn’t help but laugh. “You think that she, someone who looks so delicate, could do something bad to us?”

While his face wore a smile, his eyes held no trace of amusement.

This made Daisy break out in a cold sweat. In fact, her personal judgment was also involved, always thinking that Isabella didn’t quite look like a big boss’s wife.

She was too young, like a student.

The boss probably liked a woman as noble as himself.

“I was just… just considering the safety of the company.”

“Your name is Daisy?”

Daisy nodded.

“Starting today, you’re fired. You don’t need to come to work anymore,” Emanuele said, not intending to continue the conversation with Daisy.

If they continued, he felt he would be unable to control himself and would end up shooting the woman.

If it weren’t for Isabella constantly reminding him that he couldn’t do that, Emanuele felt that Daisy would be a corpse by now.

Upon hearing that she was fired, Daisy couldn’t help but cry. She wanted to defend herself, but Phillip had already pulled her aside and whispered to her, “Go quickly. This is the best outcome for you.”

Compared to being killed, losing a job was indeed the best outcome. Daisy left in tears.

The remaining security guards, who Daisy had called over, were very nervous.

Emanuele looked at them and said, “This matter has nothing to do with you. Remember, this is my wife. When you see her, you should respect her as you would respect me.”

“Yes, boss,” they all replied with a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they hadn’t actually laid hands on Isabella just now. Otherwise, if the boss had seen it, they would have faced the same fate.

The treatment at Lombardi Group was unparalleled by other companies. They had all worked hard to enter this company and didn’t want to lose this job.

The farce came to an end.

Emanuele turned to Isabella. Isabella tiptoed and planted a kiss on Emanuele’s cheek.

“Emanuele, you did great today. You managed to control your temper. I think that’s wonderful!” Emanuele listened to Isabella’s praise and felt as though he was a child who had done something right and was being praised by a teacher.

However, he didn’t reject this feeling.

Instead, he felt a bit sweet inside. The restlessness that had been troubling him seemed to have diminished.

Emanuele hugged Isabella and whispered, “I’m sorry, Isabella, to have let you suffer in my company.”

Emanuele felt a bit guilty towards Isabella.

He had intended to bring Isabella to have breakfast and then familiarize her with the environment of his company.

He didn’t expect that just by going out to take a call, such an incident would occur.

The employees in the company didn’t even recognize their boss’s wife. To Emanuele, it was an ironic situation.

Thinking of this, Emanuele said to Isabella, “Isabella, perfect timing. I’ve fired Daisy, and now there’s a vacancy for a HR manager in the company. Would you like to work in my company?”

It was a good opportunity for Isabella to interview, so that everyone who came in would get to know Isabella.

“HR manager? No, no, no, Emanuele, that position is too important. I don’t think it’s suitable for me,” Isabella immediately refused. Although she had thought about working in Emanuele’s company, she felt that suddenly parachuting into a management position would surely cause resentment among others.

Starting from the ground level felt better to her.
