Chapter 281: Seed of Doubt
"No..." Leander sat on the couch. "I heard that Leonardo took on a lot of his father’s roles. Did you find out anything about Vito’s health?" he asked.
"His health?" Lionel cleared his throat. "I haven’t heard anything. But the Vitale family reigns behind an iron curtain. No one would know anything about them unless they let it know... By the way, I don’t think them looking for Bellissima is about Vito’s health. Do you?"
Leander looked pensive. "Helena is her sister. They are fraternal twins, same father," he looked at Lionel.
"That’s..." Lionel hummed.
If that were the case, the interest of Vitale in Bellissima alone is suspicious. Could it be related to Vito’s health?
"Speaking of Helena... Word on the grapevine is that you met her last week..." Lionel said. He didn’t want to bring it up. He wanted to leave it as rumors.
Since Leander brought up her name, he asked to clarify. But seeing Leander’s reaction, he did not feel any confidence.
"Leo, should I be concerned for Bellissima?" Lionel asked.
"She is my wife, Nellie. No one else needs to spare any concern for her!" Leander said, his eyes focused on his laptop.
Lionel could see that Leander was drawing a boundary. But he was concerned. A lot happened in their life. Not properly dealing with a miscarriage has broken up marriages to his knowledge. Not to mention, dealing with the Vitale family might have added some stress to Leander along with his added strain after his brother’s death. Not to mention the commissioner who is hellbent on bringing the Kastello family to justice...
Leander could be stressed. And men become stupid when they are stressed.
"I thought you’d deny meeting Helena..." Lionel stood up.
