Chapter 188 Earth-Shattering Changes
As he spoke, the light shone on his golden-rimmed glasses, emitting a dazzling and dangerous glow.
Colombo and Henna were both astonished and asked, "What's going on? Why do you say this? Did you find some dirt on him?"
Giuseppe toyed with the ring on his fingers smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. Let's listen to grandmother's words, reform ourselves, and soothe her anger. Also, once we uncover the culprit who framed Katherine at the banquet, we can turn the tables. and it will naturally lead to a change in our fortune."
The young man strategized with confidence in this moment, catching Colombo completely off guard. His eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, why didn't I think of this approach? Giuseppe, you are indeed smart. With you in our family, we will definitely rise to the top."
"Okay, get some rest."
When Katherine wakes up, everything will be turned upside down. No matter how tumultuous the night was, it would vanish without a trace as soon as the sun rose the next day, turning into tranquility.
When Anna woke up the next morning, and Giorgio had already gotten out of bed. Only Charlie remained by her side, like an obedient little cat. "Anna, you're awake. Did you sleep well last night?"
Anna replied, "Yes." How could she say otherwise? That would expose her and Giorgio's secret.
Charlie smiled cheerfully, "It seems that when Dad sleeps next to Anna, it helps with your sleep. Let's do it again tonight."
What! That was not what she meant. Anna shook her head and was about to say something when a deep voice came from the air; “Since you're awake, get up. Breakfast is waiting for us downstairs."
Anna looked over and saw the man sitting on the antique-style sofa. He wore a white shirt, black trousers, and a discreet but valuable wristwatch. The seat added a touch of elegance to his scholarly demeanor. Indeed, the phrase "dressed like a dandy" suited him well.
Anna nodded, got up, and changed her clothes, leading Charlie downstairs by the hand. When the family of three appeared, the people in the Vittorio mansion were all dazed.
The man was noble and elegant, unparalleled in the world. The woman was delicate and beautiful, with a petite and refined charm. And the child in their midst was exquisite and handsome; looking like he was delicately carved from jade.
The three of them appearing together looked like characters that would only step out of a fairytale.
Viviana Vittorio looked delighted. "The weather is so nice today, and seeing you, Giorgio, makes my mood even brighter."
Charlie walked over happily. "Then grandmother, eat more."
The old woman loved children, especially ones who could speak like Charlie, making her extremely delighted. Viviana held him in her arms, wanting to cradle him. "Charlie, you're such a good boy. You should eat more to grow taller."
"Okay!" Charlie nodded.
The others were completely astonished. "When did Charlie start speaking?"
"Isn't he mute?"
Giorgio didn't tell everyone about Charlie's ability to speak, and now he said coldly, "He just started recently. No need to worry about it, everyone."
They all felt a slight unease in their hearts. All the children of the Vittorio family are tested for their intelligence after they are born. Charlie's test results have always been above average, so he never had to attend kindergarten. Based on his development, he was definitely the next heir of the Vittorio family.
But no one expected that he would be unable to speak naturally from birth, which made everyone unhappy. Although they would express their sympathy and consolation on the surface, who wouldn't secretly console themselves in their hearts?
But now, he can speak? This was yet another heavy blow. Giuseppe glanced at Charlie and speculated whether this sudden ability to speak had something to do with the fake Katherine. Regardless, he maintained an unchanged facade, elegantly and contentedly enjoying his meal.
"Katherine, shall we take a walk by Paloma Lake today?" Viviana suggested. On sunny days, she always yearned for the outside world.
Anna tightened her grip on the chopsticks in her hand and smiled, saying, "Grandma, I would love to accompany you, but I made plans with Giorgio last night to help him with some matters at the company. We’ve had quite a lot going on at work recently, so I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you."
Giuseppe knew she was lying, but he didn't mind lending a hand. After all, the more lies Giorgio and this fake Katherine concocted, the more guilt they would be when the truth was revealed.
He chuckled and said, "Grandmother, Giorgio and Katherine have just reconciled and their feelings are deep. Moreover, my father has temporarily stepped down from his position, so many of the company's affairs have fallen onto Giorgio's shoulders. Let's not make things difficult for them. Luckily, I have nothing to do today, so I can accompany Grandma on her walk."
Viviana naturally hoped that the two of them would spend more time together. With someone beside her now, she smiled and said, "Very well, I won't force the two lovebirds apart then."
Anna felt awkward. What were she and Giorgio, lovebirds? They were more like enemies. She said, "Grandma, once things settle down in a few days, I will definitely accompany you." Besides, when the time comes, she’ll no longer be Katherine, and Katherine will be more than willing to please the elderly.
Giorgio's thoughts were meticulous. He glanced at Giuseppe sitting across from him, his gaze deep. After dinner, as they left the Vittorio mansion and got into the car, he said, "Be cautious these next few days. If Giuseppe asks anything, avoid answering questions you can't answer directly."
Anna furrowed her brows and asked, "Why? He just helped us out, isn't that good? He even saved me the last time." Gratitude laced her soft voice.
Giorgio sneered, "You let such trivial matters cloud your judgment and act foolishly."
How many times had he done things for her without even hearing a word of thanks? In her eyes, Giuseppe trusted and helped her, making him better than Giorgio. He was the fool, unaware for so long that his wife had been cheating on him.
Giorgio added, "His father was punished last night. No matter how good his character is, today he could... It is impossible to make us laugh, he might have hidden motives to try and please us that much. Also, please be obedient if you want to stay safe."
When we got married, it was because I wanted to protect her. Now, I naturally wouldn’t want everything to fall apart. After all, there were too many interests involved.
Anna really wanted to say, "Didn't he consider the fact that Giuseppe might have ulterior motives for helping us?" But looking at his cold and noble face, she didn't want to invite trouble and nodded in agreement. "Mm."
Little Tony, who was driving, also added, "Miss Stefanelli, you must take this seriously. Everyone in the Vittorio mansion is cunning. You never know how you might get trapped if you're not careful. Mr. Vittorio is doing this for your own good."
“For himself and Katherine, right?” She saw through it but didn't expose him, but instead smiled and said, "Mm, thank you, Little Tony, thank you, Mr. Vittorio."
Little Tony continued, "It's quite a coincidence that in the last few days of staying at the Vittorio mansion, I have been having a bad feeling. Miss Stefanelli, remember, you're playing the role of Katherine, who loves Mr. Vittorio and most of the time, she takes the initiative. It's best not to let others get any clues."
Although he had some ulterior motives in his heart for helping Mr. Vittorio and Anna, he mostly didn't want anything bad to happen to the two of them.
Anna was troubled by the instructions she received. The drama at the Vittorio mansion last night was a success, but it if it had failed it would have ruined others and harmed her. Good and bad are merely a thought away.
The thing she regrated the most now was leaving the house yesterday. If only she could turn back time. At that moment, her phone suddenly rang, interrupting her thoughts.
Anna snapped back to reality, took out her phone, and saw the caller ID on the screen.
It was…
