Chapter 219 Harsh Realization
Finished
As the car moved smoothly through the city streets, Matteo's calm presence gave Emily no reason to be suspicious. She had always been surrounded by people who had selfish motives, using her for their own gain before ultimately discarding her from their lives. How could she trust a man she didn't know well, especially when she had heard rumors of his ruthlessness and reputation as a womanizer, despite his engagement?
Her head spun with fear and conflicting thoughts. She tried to steady her demeanor, preparing herself to confront her so-called family. Deep down, she braced for the worst that was yet to come, even as her heart urged her to be cautious.
The car stopped, pulling Emily out of her troubling thoughts. The driver opened the door for Matteo, who stepped out first and moved around to open the door for Emily. He extended his hand, and she took it as she stepped out of the car, her heart racing. Taking a deep breath, she looked at her uncle's house before turning her head to Matteo, who was watching her attentively. She nodded, her determination firm, and together they proceeded toward the house, flanked by Matteo's bodyguards, who had arrived in another vehicle.
Matteo rang the doorbell, and Mark opened the door, his eyes widening in shock at the sight of Emily with Matte, Vinci. He recognized the infamous attorney from the news and felt a wave of unease wash over him
"Step aside," Matteo barked, harshly pushing Mark aside without waiting for him to move.
"Hey, you can't just enter our house like that!" Mark protested, his voice rising in defiance. Matteo chuckled mockingly, a dangerous glint in his eyes. "I dare you to try to stop me." "What's going on?" Emily's uncle and aunt rushed out of their room, alerted by the commotion. "Emily?" her uncle said, narrowing his gaze. "What brings you here at this time of morning?" Silently, Emily approached her uncle, her expression filled with disgust for him and his family.
"How could you betray your own brother's daughter like this?" Emily's voice wavered, thick with hurt, as she tried to steady it. "I looked up to you like a father after my dad died, and you didn't even hesitate before selling me off to Jae-min!" Her uncle's lips curled into a smug grin.
"I don't know what you're going on about," he said with a sneer, dismissing her accusations as if they meant nothing, "You've always been good at twisting things, haven't you? Seducing Jac-min for his money, is that what this is? Isn't what your ex-husband left you enough?"
The mention of her ex-husband-a man who had caused her so
much pain-and her uncle's lies sparked a white hot fury in Emily. Before she could think, her hand flew out and slapped him hard across the face. The sharp sound reverberated through the room, leaving everyone momentarily stunned.
You bitch! How dare you?" her uncle yelled, lunging at her to strike back. But Matteo stepped in swiftly, pushing the old man back with such force that he fell onto his back.
"Stay in your place, you swine, Mateo growled, his volle low and menacing. "We have video footage of you trying to get Emily raped and killed by drugging her and selling her to Jae-min. Jae-min is alreadyContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

watched the realization dawn on her uncle's face.
Finished
Emily's uncle, aunt, and Mark exchanged glances filled with fear, their faces draining of color.
Emily's aunt stepped closer, she pleaded, "Emily, you can't do this to your own uncle. It's a misunderstanding. We are worried about you and we only wanted you to marry Jae-min, as we are your only family left after your father," her voice laced with feigned concern. But Emily knew better than to trust these cunning family members.
"You don't have to worry about me, Aunt," Emily replied coldly. "It's time for you to worry about yourself and your family. You won't get a penny from my father's inheritance." She spat the words with hatred and fury before turning to Matteo. "And Mr. Vinci will make sure of it." As their gaze locked, Matteo nodded in affirmation.
Suddenly, the police swarmed in, taking all three of them into custody. Emily watched as they pleaded with the officers, threatening to tarnish her reputation in their social and familial circles. Yet, she didn't waver, her resolve hardening in the face of their desperation.
Then, a realization dawned on her, and she murmured to herself, "They did it for that property, right? They had to stoop so low for wealth?! First Tomas, and now my uncle." Her voice trembled with disbelief and hurt. "I don't want this property," she declared firmly, raising her head to meet Matteo's gaze. She found him looking at her intently, concern etched on his face. "I want all my inheritance to be transferred to Gia and Maximo. Will you help me make a will?"
