Chapter 118: His Business Side
When Marcella got dressed and went out, Tony was ready with the breakfast. It was toast and eggs. But it was filling as he squeezed fresh orange juice for her.
Last night, she told Tony that she had executed her plans and Randy would inform everyone of her plans. Tony hummed and said nothing else. It was obvious that he still was not very accepting of her plan. She didn’t think that he would go behind her back and do anything else though. He too agreed that they had no other way.
He told her that Mclaughlin offered to be their muscle in exchange for access to that island. Mclaughlin probably offered a cut too. She didn’t care about the fine details of the deal they made. She didn’t care.
She was grieving. Her father would not be proud that she’s opening up their place for drug trafficking. But she needs to protect her family. She only has a few of her family left. She cannot lose them too.
"I’ll ask Uncle Karl if we can sell that island," she said.
"To a proxy?" Tony asked. He figured that would be the best way to have their cake and eat it. They wouldn’t have to worry if they’d be implicated if someone got caught.
"Yeah..." Marcella let out a deep breath. "You’re not running the next cycle, are you?" she asked.
"No, we’ll have to lay low for a while and see how everything progresses," Tony said.
Marcella found that to be a better idea. She decided to not worry about anything anymore. She hoped that Tony would stay safe and the rest, he will take care of it.
She saw how suave and heroic he was when he managed to have an upper hand on Mclaughlin the previous day. She never thought that Tony was planning ahead and had people watching them in case they needed them.
