Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

“What’s wrong, Emanuele?”

Emanuele sat on the sofa, appearing relaxed, draping his legs casually.

“Lilly, please sit down.”

Lilly sat across from Emanuele, looking at him nervously, very cautiously.

Oh God, is he going to find out about her situation?

In truth, it would not be surprising if Emanuele did find out. He was such a clever person; he would definitely pick up on some clues easily. But, Lilly was still very afraid.

Would Emanuele kill her? Would he not spare her?

“Today, Isabella saw you cooking in the kitchen, feeling that you were distracted all the time. She was very worried about you, fearing that your husband’s condition was deteriorating. You didn’t want us to worry, so you kept it hidden. She asked me to investigate, wanting to know what happened to your husband. But when I looked into your situation, guess what I found?”NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Lilly looked at Emanuele, her expression filled with sadness.

The joyful face of the past had long disappeared, her sorrowful appearance making her seem ten years older in an instant.

“I found out that your husband and three children seem to have vanished without a trace. Lilly, you know my ability to get things done. As long as I know the person’s name and they are in Chicago, I can definitely find them. But it’s strange that your husband and children have completely disappeared.”

Nervously, Lilly sat on the edge of her chair, her hands tightly clasped together, looking extremely frightened.

It felt as though she was facing a sentence.

Emanuele’s gaze was sharp, as if he wanted to see right through her.

“Lilly, can you tell me where your husband and children have gone? You said your husband was ill, but can he sprout wings and fly somewhere else?”

Upon hearing Emanuele’s cold words, Lilly’s body began to tremble uncontrollably. Under Emanuele’s intense pressure, Lilly confessed to Emanuele, “Emanuele, I’m sorry, I’ve betrayed you. My husband and children have been kidnapped by someone who used my family to threaten me, forcing me to comply. I couldn’t resist, I helped them with something.”

Emanuele looked at Lilly, “So it was you who leaked the information about my warehouse to them?”

Lilly nodded, tears falling from her eyes, her body trembling, fear coursing through her veins. She could feel Emanuele’s intense anger, and she dared not even look at him.

Emanuele gazed at Lilly, his eyes filled with fury, as if he were about to burn with rage. In fact, when the warehouse was destroyed before, he had lost many of his men and weapons, but he hadn’t been so angry. However, now, Emanuele was furious. His fingers clenched into fists uncontrollably. If it weren’t for the fact that Lilly had taken care of him for so many years, and because she was someone his father had left behind, Emanuele feared that he might actually lose control and shoot her. To him, being betrayed by those close to him was more cruel than being attacked by his enemies. This was because he placed extreme trust in those close to him. He was cold-hearted towards outsiders, but he was very generous towards those close to him. If they needed him, he would do his best to help. In reality, he was also a sentimental person, but he just didn’t like to show it. It was because of this that when someone close to him betrayed him, Emanuele felt as though he had been dealt a fatal blow. Even though no bullets had pierced his body, Emanuele still felt as though his heart had been wounded.

Lilly sobbed, “Emanuele, I know what I did doesn’t deserve your forgiveness. If you want to kill me, then do it. I’m sorry, Emanuele, I’m so sorry.”

Lilly continued crying.

“Lilly, I should indeed kill you, but I have always regarded you as my family, so I can’t bring myself to do it.”

Upon hearing Emanuele’s words, Lilly stopped crying, staring blankly at Emanuele.

Emanuele’s face was expressionless, but his eyes held a hint of crimson, giving off a slightly bloody appearance. However, he was making a conscious effort to restrain that murderous intent.

Lilly knew that this was Emanuele’s limit.

“Tell me, who kidnapped your family?”

“I don’t know, I don’t know them. That day, I received a call, and they told me that my family was in their hands. They made me do as they said, otherwise, they would kill them.”

Trembling, Lilly recounted the events to Emanuele.

“Was that the day you took time off?” Emanuele pondered thematter. He quickly connected the dots, linking a series of events together.

No wonder Lilly, who rarely took time off, had taken several days off that day and appeared so distressed and upset. She seemed so anxious and unhappy when she returned. It turned out she had been threatened.

Emanuele nodded. He believed Lilly’s words.

He handed the phone over to Zak, asking him to help track the location of the phone, and then headed out.

Seeing that Emanuele did not intend to take action against her, Lilly breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still very anxious.

“Emanuele, you’re not going to deal with me?” Lilly asked cautiously.

Emanuele turned to look at Lilly, the woman who had taken care of him since his childhood, watched him grow, and sacrificed a lot for their family. But now, everything had been ruined because of this incident. However, in the end, Emanuele’s heart softened.

“I won’t do that, Lilly, but you can’t stay here either.”
