Chapter 246 Just A Passerby in His Life
Heh.
He coldly set his phone aside, paying it no mind.
The air seemed to freeze.
Little Tony pushed the door open and walked in, feeling the bone-chilling cold and instinctively wanting to retreat.
This was not the right time to come in!
Yet, the man broke the silence with his cold voice, "What is it?"
Uh...
"Nothing much, just to report that Charlie has recently used a large sum of money to acquire an entertainment company. I'm not sure what it's for."
Charlie had his own funds, as well as the password to Giorgio's bank card. He usually only spent small amounts, which didn't need to be reported. But this time, it was nearly eighty million, so Little Tony thought it would be better to report it.
Giorgio's deep eyes narrowed, and after about two seconds, as if seeing through everything, he said, "Let him be."
"Alright, Mr. Vittorio," Little Tony prepared to leave.
Giorgio's pen stopped moving; he looked up and said, "Go check when the flights will resume."
Flights? To Vista Heights?
Little Tony instantly understood and nodded, "Yes, I'll go right away."
The office door closed, but after only two seconds, it was pushed open again.
This time, it was his beautiful secretary who came in, "Mr. Vittorio, your wife is here."
By 'wife,' she naturally meant Katherine.
Giorgio's expression darkened, and he said coldly, "Let her wait a few minutes."
The secretary frowned. Previously, Mr. Vittorio had brought his wife into the office without any hesitation; he even looked quite affectionate. But now, he was making his wife wait outside?
Something didn't seem right.
Even though she didn't dare to speak up, his secretary went out and told Katherine carefully, "Mrs. Vittorio said to wait a few minutes."
It seemed that Katherine was used to this kind of treatment. It was something she had expected. Her elegant face showed no change as she casually flipped through a fashion magazine in the waiting area.
The secretary frowned again. Why did Mrs. Vittorio seem different today?
Katherine noticed the secretary's scrutinizing gaze but remained calm, maintaining her pride.
A few minutes later, when she entered the office, the first words that greeted her were from the man's cold voice, "Didn't I say not to come to the company if there's nothing important?"
His tone was colder than when he spoke to strangers.
Katherine felt a slight sting in her heart. She knew he didn't treat Anna this way.
She walked over, forcing a smile, "Giorgio, we're married now. It's normal for me to bring you some homemade snacks. Also, your secretary seemed suspicious just now. I think, since Anna and I just swapped identities, we should make the transition seamless. Otherwise, it might raise suspicions."
She spoke calmly and logically.
But.
Giorgio's cold lips curled, "First, we haven't gotten our marriage certificate. Second, if you don't show up, naturally there won't be any suspicions."
What? No marriage certificate?
Katherine's attention was all on the first half of Giorgio's sentence. Her face showed surprise and disbelief.
According to the process, they should have gotten their marriage certificate in front of all the guests after the wedding ceremony. Anna had replaced her at the wedding, so this ceremony should have been completed.
"Was there... a problem?"
"No," Giorgio said crisply, "I didn't plan to marry you. That's what I wanted to talk to you about yesterday."
His calm and elegant words, although uttered in his pleasant voice, hit Katherine like a bomb. Her mind went blank, and she looked at him in confusion. "You didn't plan to marry me... What do you mean, Giorgio? I don't believe it; we're clearly already married."
At this moment, in front of him, she was just a woman, helpless and fearful of losing love and her loved one. She was not the high and mighty, proud and perfect Katherine.
Giorgio stood up, his calm and emotionless eyes locked on her, "What does it mean? Do you really need to ask so clearly?"
The implication was that the clearer she asked, the more it would hurt. The answer wouldn't be what she wanted to hear.
Katherine fell silent.
She had expected his ruthlessness, but she didn't expect such a blow. He didn't even give her the rightful title of Mrs. Vittorio!
Seeing him about to leave, she stepped forward and grabbed his arm, "Giorgio, even if we didn't get a marriage certificate, we got married in front of the entire nation. Everyone in the country is blessing us now; we are husband and wife."
Giorgio stopped his noble steps, lowered his gaze, and looked at her pale face, "So, you need to cooperate in the next act, and find a suitable opportunity to announce our divorce."
Divorce?!
Katherine froze. Her entire body deflated like a balloon, and she collapsed onto the sofa, unable to recover for a long time.
Even if she had fainted before, she had received the status of a princess, with countless people’s adoration and envy. If they divorced...
No, she wouldn't divorce him!
While staring at Giorgio's retreating figure, she clenched her hand, took out her phone, and dialed her mother's number, "Mom, find some connections and ways to put pressure on the Vittorio family's election."
Next, she dialed her agent's number, "Arrange some events that require Mr. Vittorio and me to attend together."
...
Perhaps Katherine was lucky. That night, Viviana held a family dinner at a large hotel under the pretext of the company's new achievements.
At the dinner, Katherine sat with Giorgio, occasionally serving him food and soup. Giorgio, due to the presence of everyone and the possibility of paparazzi, didn't show any displeasure and got along well with Katherine.
Scenes and photos quickly topped the trending searches.

The news vividly described how the couple was loving, warm, and sweet. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be criticized. But because it was Giorgio, netizens continued to enjoy the show.
"Wow! Mr. Vittorio's post-marriage daily life is here again!"
"I want to see it every day!"
"It feels like I'm reading a romance comic. Only in comics can you find such a sweet post-marriage life!"
"I slapped my boyfriend who was playing games..."
The sensational news dominated Twitter.
Anna had a habit of browsing Twitter. As soon as she opened it, the news about the two of them was everywhere, whether in the trending list or in the hot topics.
In the dimly lit hotel room, her face was cool and quiet, showing no emotion, yet there was no joy, nor was it the expression of someone simply reading entertainment news.
She had sent him a message this morning, but he had not replied until now, as if she had completely disappeared from his world, or been forgotten by him.
Indeed, he had so many women around him, and she was just one of his past experiences. How could he remember or care? What Charlie said to Penny this morning was probably intended to deliberately match her with Giorgio, but it must have all been fake.
Whatever, let it be!
Her slender fingers pressed the home button, exited Twitter, and went online to search for when flights to Vista Heights would resume.
Unexpectedly, a strange number texted her. "Hello, are you Nana from Tiktok?"
"Huh?" The phone number she left was Sara's, and she had made it clear that she refused to cooperate. How could this person reach her?
For safety reasons, she denied it.
"I'm sorry, no."
But unexpectedly, what the other person said next surprised her greatly!
