Chapter 97: The Real Reason
"The Corleone family," Viviana added.
"Really?" Lionel rolled his eyes.
"Come on, they are the famous mafia family. Or if you want, I can call them the Waldorf family..." she asked.
"No, Corleone is fine..." Lionel compromised.
"Have you heard of the phrase" Money talks and wealth whispers"?" Viviana raised her brows. Lionel shrugged. "Yeah, the boy Darcia met... his wealth jingled," she pressed her lips trying to control her mirth.
She was so full of herself as she described Leander and his jewelry. Lionel widened his eyes. She could see that he was surprised. He might have already figured out what she is going to talk about. The fire became a national news. And the Waldorf family had some stakes in the resort built by the Kastello family.
He might bring danger to her if she talks about it. But as she already knew, it was a game of chance—a gamble. She wanted to take the gamble and know where Lionel stands in this.
Lionel was surprised. But for another reason.
Leander? She’s talking about Leander? Or was it Evander?
But he always wanted to know what happened to cause that fire. That fire caused a lot of damage; something more personal to him. For Leander too, that fire meant something.
