Chapter 190: Undecided
[ At V Club... ]
The two men were sitting at the bar counter, enjoying their liquor.
"So what is your impression of my sister?" Vladimir asked Dmitri.
Dmitri let out a soft chuckle after hearing Vladimir’s direct question.
"Why? Are you worried that I will dislike your sister? Are you rooting for me?" Dmitri cracked some jokes to lighten the atmosphere. Vladimir’s mood had always been serious.
Vladimir shot him a cold sharp glare. "No. I’m not worried. Why would I be?"
Dmitri smirked at him, taking a sip of his whiskey. "Because I heard that you didn’t want to marry my sister Freya. I guess, you are hoping that things between Lanny and me will work out. Am I right?"
Vladimir wasn’t able to respond. He couldn’t deny it. Dmitri’s words were true. He was hoping that Lanny and Dmitri would marry each other to solidify the alliance between the Ivankov Clan and the De Luca Clan. Besides, the father of Lanny’s child was already in a relationship with someone.
"Your silence means yes," Dmitri chuckled once more, tapping Vladimir’s shoulder.
"You are wise and clever, Dmitri. You can easily read people." Vladimir just raised his glass for a toast. "As expected of the De Luca’s successor."
"Hmm. Aren’t you afraid that Lanny will become more influential once she marries me? Even though she is just a woman, she can become your father’s successor. Is that what you want Vladimir?" Dmitri was still trying to assess Vladimir’s real feelings about this.
Vladimir frowned for a moment. "You don’t have to worry about that. Even we, the Ivankov siblings, are clueless about how our father will choose his successor. He is unpredictable."
