Chapter 76 - Plan (1/2)

Nina's eyes widened. She sat on the couch and couldn't believe what she had just heard. Did she make Jayden and Peggy's life miserable? Was it her fault that Peggy left Jayden for three years? She thought.

She knew about Matthew Forelli and Lucia Castello. But she didn't realize that the information she gave Paolo was used and gave him an idea to dig deeper. He passed the information to Benjamin Miller, who informed Peggy about the involvement of Matthew in the murder of Jayden's mother.

She bit her lips, then asked further.

”I see. So do you have other plans aside from that? I want to know when I will stop being your spy.”

Paolo laughed. ”Patience, my child. I owe you all this information, and we could use this on the new king's coronation. You will be there, right?”

Nina was shocked by what Paolo said. Did he say attack? She thought.

”Attack? Are you planning to attack the palace?” She asked.

Paolo laughed again. ”Not me. But the Rossi's.”

Nina frowned. She couldn't understand what Paolo meant.

”Did you join forces with the Rossi's?” She asked again.

Nina knew she needed to at least get something from Paolo. She had been betraying her friends and her husband for six years now, and all she could do now was to at least warn them about the mafia's plan.

”Sort of. I thought Forelli was the best choice, but since he sided with her daughter, I had no choice but to look for other allies. I got lucky. Alejandro Rossi got a big-time patron.” Paolo excitedly told Nina.

”Does that patron also have a grudge against the Wilson Clan?” She asked.

Paolo laughed again. For some reason, the man was too happy and excited.

”No. He had a grudge against the royal family and Matthew Forelli. It just so happened that the people we hate were all connected. If we work alone, we're sure we won't win against them, so the best option is to join forces.”

”But the Cross Clan didn't have anything to do with you or any of those men. Why did you want to go against them?” She asked again.

Paolo chuckled. ”Because your husband would never side with us, and I'm sure he would definitely help Luke Wilson. Before he could do that, I needed to cripple him in secret, and you were the answer. I can say you've been very cooperative. And I am looking forward to being your father-in-law.”
