Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

Chapter 417 Isabella’s Misunderstanding



Jessie saw Emanuele release her, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Emanuele still had some reservations and didn’t dare to harm her.

She knew that if it were just Emanuele alone, he would have done as he pleased a long time ago.

If he wanted to kill Jessie, he would have done so, and if he wanted to make enemies with New York, he would have done that too. After all, he was the type to put his life on the line without fear of death.

But now, he had Isabella, that innocent and naive girl who had endured more suffering in her time with him than most people did in a lifetime.

He was worried that Jessie would harm Isabella.

So, Emanuele let go of Jessie and watched her awkwardly fall on the bed, her naked body exposed to the air, looking very alluring.

Jessie always maintained a good figure, she was thin, but where there should be flesh on her body, there was plenty. Sometimes she would use her body to get things done, believing that women should be like this, not as physically strong as men, not skilled in combat, but able to conquer men’s hearts with their bodies.

But this trick didn’t work on Emanuele. He just gave her a cold glance and said, “I didn’t have any intimate relations with you, Jessie. Are you trying to court death by accusing me?”

Jessie, clutching her throat in pain, coughed once to make her throat feel a bit better before slowly getting up.

Even though her throat was still sore, Jessie couldn’t help but smile. “Emanuele, you’ve lost. Ha ha ha, I’ve sent the photos to Isabella. Isabella will be sad and misunderstand you for sure.”

Emanuele frowned at Jessie. “Do you really think I wouldn’t kill you?”

Despite Emanuele’s warning, Jessie didn’t seem afraid at all.

“Well then, would you kill me?”

Emanuele stared at Jessie intently, not saying a word.

Would he? Would Emanuele kill her?

He definitely wouldn’t do that. If he were alone, he might, but he loved Isabella and would consider her in everything he did. He was now starting to think about the consequences of his actions and whether they would put Isabella in danger.

How interesting.

The head of a mafia, with a weak spot. He wasn’t invincible, he could easily be brought down by someone.

But Jessie knew Emanuele still had value to her, she wasn’t ready to let him collapse yet. She felt she wasn’t strong enough and still needed Emanuele’s power.

“I think you and I are the most suitable ones, don’t you think? I rule New York, you rule Chicago. If we got married, it would be a powerful alliance. Everyone is looking forward to us being together. If we really get together, we can talk about more and more big collaborations. Emanuele, aren’t you moved?”

Jessie climbed in front of Emanuele, looking up at him. She was like a fairy, with a seductive look in her eyes, very enchanting. A normal man seeing Jessie with such a seductive look might lose control, but Emanuele had remarkable restraint. Besides Isabella, there was no woman who could move him anymore.

Emanuele pushed her away, dressed up, and called Isabella.

Isabella hadn’t been answering his calls, and even after several attempts, she didn’t pick up. Emanuele couldn’t bear to think of how upset Isabella must be at this moment.

He quickly contacted Tony to check on Isabella’s situation.

“Boss, the lady is in her room.”

“Do this, have Ariel make some desserts and take them to Isabella, have her check on Isabella’s condition.” Emanuele said.

It wouldn’t be appropriate for Tony to go directly into the room if Isabella was inside, so having Ariel, also a woman, go was more fitting.

Tony nodded and instructed Ariel to do so.

Ariel didn’t know what was going on, but she knew from the urgency in the boss’s voice that it was something important.

She made two small cakes and brought them upstairs.

She knocked on the door, “Isabella, I made you two delicious desserts, come and try them.”

“No need, I don’t want to eat.” Isabella said.

“Please try it, Isabella, they’re really good.” Ariel said, “I worked very hard on them, and I’ll be sad if you don’t eat them.”

After a while, the door to the room opened, and seeing Isabella’s face, Ariel breathed a sigh of relief.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

The lady didn’t seem abnormal at all, very calm, although she could feel Isabella’s unhappiness.

But there shouldn’t be anything major, right?

Isabella took the cakes and walked back into the room without a word of thanks or even looking at Ariel, like a robot.

Ariel sensed something was off, so she reported everything Isabella did to Emanuele.

After listening to Ariel’s report, Emanuele frowned deeply.

All because of Jessie, Isabella must have misunderstood his relationship with Jessie. Otherwise, how could she act like this normally?

Emanuele immediately booked a flight back to Chicago. He didn’t want this incident to affect his relationship with Isabella. It was all his fault, even though he had been cautious with Jessie, knowing she was manipulative. He had still let his guard down due to her help before.

Now, as he was about to leave, Jessie looked at Emanuele, “Emanuele, are you just going to leave like this? How are you going to explain to Isabella? She’ll definitely believe what I said.”

“So you deliberately got close to Isabella before, to gain her trust, so she would believe you now?” Emanuele asked.

“You could say that. Isabella loves you so much, if it were a stranger saying this, she wouldn’t believe it. But since I’ve become friends with her, she’ll believe what I say.” Jessie replied, confident in her manipulation.

Indeed, by getting close to Isabella, Jessie was aiming to make her trust her. If Isabella was willing to believe her, she could manufacture stories of her relationship with Emanuele, and Isabella would believe her. Seeing Emanuele’s reaction now, she knew she succeeded in her manipulation.

“Jessie, well done. You outsmarted me this time, but I’ll settle the score with you later!” Emanuele said, taking Jessie’s phone and deleting all the information about Isabella from it before leaving.
