After Breaking Up with the Mafia Don, All My Resources Were Stolen Chapter 12

Her voice sounded gentler than it had years ago, with a smile in it.

“Congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

“You don’t need to thank me. If not for Enzo, you should have won long ago.”

“Actually, he never stopped me from winning.”

“I know. At first, I thought he had been making things difficult for you all these years. I thought it was absurd for a grown man to suppress a woman for years just because he had been dumped in a relationship. I couldn’t stand it. But later, I asked Enzo, and he said he didn’t do it. Then it must have been Sofia.”

See? Even his mother could figure it out immediately.

I did not believe that for all these years, Enzo had never found it suspicious that I failed to win.

As Signora Vitale spoke, she could not help sighing.

“Sofia is the only child left in the Ricci Family. On top of that, our Family owes hers, so everyone has indeed indulged her too much.”

“Enzo said she went abroad.”

“Yes. She was sent away for discipline. The Ricci Family still has to be handed to her in the future. We can’t let her keep fooling around in showbiz.”

After a pause, maybe realizing her words were inappropriate, the woman on the other end added, “I don’t mean you are fooling around.”

“I know.”

If she did not recognize me, she would not have gone to the organizers to ask for fairness on my behalf.

Of course, I also knew that the Vitale Family did not like actresses. They would not accept a performer as the heir’s wife.

Letting me win Best Actress could also deal Sofia a blow and make her leave Hollywood sooner.

It was just that no one had expected the biggest bomb that night to be not my award, but the video my hater leaked.

Signora Vitale said, “You were right not to keep the child. From now on, may the road ahead be wide, and may you fly higher.”

She had lived through it.

She was also trapped inside it.

She understood better than anyone what true family struggle meant.

A secretly born child could not bind Enzo, could not control the Vitale Family, but could have bound me forever and become a permanent stain on my life.

Only absolute freedom could take me higher.

My throat tightened.

“Thank you.”
