Chapter 183 You're not wrong, I am
"Anna, I told you not to cause any trouble, but here you are, causing such a big mess.
Do you think that Simon will always protect you, so you fear nothing? Do you not care about the reputation of the Stefanelli family and your sister?
With you around, the Stefanelli family can't catch a break! Why is my life so miserable..."
Carla was both angry and anxious, and her scolding gradually turned into tears.
How can we suppress such big news? No matter how we try to handle it, it's impossible to explain!
Anna was completely at a loss, faced with this sudden slap.
But her rationality told her that after Viviana, now Carla, something had definitely gone wrong.
She quickly took out her phone and found a bunch of trending news.
So, this is what happened.
She took a deep breath and said,
"People suspect that I was impersonating someone. While monitoring Mr. Vittorio, I suggested resolving the issue together, but the high and mighty Mr. Vittorio, your beloved son-in-law, claimed he knew nothing and distanced himself, making the Stefanelli family the scapegoat.
Should I still be concerned about his feelings?"
Is it really like this?
Someone is doubting the investigation?
Carla's expression froze, then she angrily said,
"Just because of this, you had a fight with Giorgio? Do you not understand that the more critical it is, the more cautious one should be?"
"Now the news is spreading everywhere, with all sorts of speculations. How do you plan to explain? Are you really going to let Giorgio abandon the Stefanelli family, with the family becoming your whim's sacrifice?"
The more famous and successful someone is, the better they understand the need for adaptability.
In this situation, she still wants to cling to the ruthless Giorgio.
Anna sincerely admired her, while also feeling that the world of the wealthy is truly frightening, to the point of fear.
She was truly grateful that she grew up in the countryside, just an ordinary commoner.
Carla grew even more furious when she saw Anna looking at her with a strange gaze.
"What are you looking at?"
Anna replied, "I find you quite ridiculous. Other mothers-in-law are eager to please their sons-in-law, but you, on the contrary, are throwing yourself at Giorgio. Even if he rejects you, you still feel compelled to fawn over him.
Your life may seem glamorous, but in reality, you're nothing more than a pet."
Hitting a nerve, Carla's veins popped, and she raised her hand, ready to slap Anna...
But this time, Anna raised her hand and directly caught Carla's wrist, looking her straight in the eye.
"I am different from you. I won't allow anyone to step on me or oppress me, even if you mention my birth mother."
After leaving those words, she let go of Carla's hand, turned around, and walked out straight away.
Her resolute and proud figure, along with her act of defiance, directly mocked Carla's weakness and desperation.
"You, you, you... you jerk!"
Carla fell onto the sofa, her heart aching...
Anna sat in the taxi, wearing a mask and sunglasses.
The lights outside the car reflected...
Under the sunglasses, those eyes were cool, detached, and indifferent. They seemed to have no emotions, but in reality, they were filled with sadness. Without her, the Stefanelli family wouldn't be thriving, right? But in reality, it was all about pleasing people. Isn't it pitiful that she was punished for a heartless man?
The car arrived at the Vittorio mansion. Anna got out of the car. The night breeze was chilly, and she hugged herself, gazing at the magnificent Vittorio mansion with a vacant look in her eyes. With the Stefanelli family, she didn't need to save face, but how should she handle the Vittorio family? Was she really going to take it that far?
"You didn't leave with much dignity, but now you stand here feeling sentimental, is it too late?" A sarcastic and icy voice sounded from behind her. Anna turned around and saw a grand figure standing under the towering sycamore tree, dressed in pitch black.
The darkness served as his umbrella of protection, blending into his background, making him even more dangerous and terrifying than during the day. Anna refused to show weakness and clenched her lips, gritting her teeth.
"What's it to you? Who said I'm standing here feeling sentimental and scared? I'm just thinking about how to approach the wedding once I go in. How to tell everyone that Katherine had a drowning accident and became a vegetable. Mr. Vittorio, you know that I am Katherine's sister, yet you harassed me and forced me to play along with your act!"
Even now, she wouldn't yield to him. Giorgio thought she would be afraid and came here immediately when the old man called her. But now, it seemed like she didn't need him to remove the thorns from her.
Giorgio lifted his lips coldly and said, "Miss Stefanelli, you have an eloquent way with words. Giorgio will enjoy watching you perform this play splendidly."
Is that it? Is he just going to leave like that? Anna watched his cold figure and squeezed her hands in frustration, stomping her feet. Damn it, why isn't he afraid? Is he a devil?
What should she do? Go in and risk her life? No, the only result would be her death!
At that moment, her phone chimed with a message. Anna didn't want to look, nor did she have time, but instinctively, she hurriedly took it out and saw that it was a message from Charlie:
[Anna, the news is really bad for you this time. How are you doing? I'm really worried, and so is Penny.]
The children. If something happened to her and the Stefanelli family, what would happen to the two children? Anna's pride plummeted, she clenched her fists, and gritted her teeth. "Giorgio, wait!"
Giorgio's steps halted, and in the darkness, a faint smile lifted the corners of his attractive lips, disappearing into the night. He turned around, his high and cold demeanor enveloping her, as he said, "Miss Stefanelli, it seems like that's not the name you should call me."
"... " She swore that if she could kill, she would definitely
He will kill this despicable man!
However, reality is...
Anna smiled brightly, quickly ran over, and looked at him eagerly:
"Mr. Vittorio, handsome and noble, the lovable Mr. Vittorio, I was wrong, please don't hold it against me, okay?"
When a woman puts down her thorns and adopts a pleasing and obedient demeanor, she becomes much more adorable than when she was prickly.
Giorgio enjoyed seeing her submissive to him, but unfortunately, how does one tame a thorny rose and turn it into a sweet lily?
He raised an eyebrow, "Miss Stefanelli, you're right. I was wrong. I heartlessly abandoned you, knowing that you're Katherine, yet still flirting with you. My mistake. Miss Stefanelli was right earlier; I should go in and tell them my true identity."
"!!!"
She really wanted to slap him across the face!
No, it was his annoyingly punchable face!
Taking a deep breath, she touched her chest and smiled again:
"No, that's not it. I barged into the wedding ceremony, replacing my sister to get married, and ruined your wedding, Mr. Vittorio. I didn't care about the rumors or the consequences. I said unpleasant words that made you angry, and for that, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Please forgive me."
Anna spoke each word sincerely and earnestly, praying for forgiveness.
Deep down, she already felt nauseous.
She thought she should have listened to Sara and entered the entertainment industry, become an actress. With her acting skills, she would definitely win an Oscar for Best Actress!
Giorgio looked at the young woman, who appeared obedient with lowered eyebrows but actually seemed eager to bite him. A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips:
"Miss Stefanelli has a different story every time. I don't know which one to believe."
"..."
"Giorgio!" Anna gritted her teeth and squeezed the words out.
Seeing her like this, Giorgio couldn't bear to tease her anymore and changed his attitude:
"Considering your genuine sincerity, I won't hold it against you. However..."
