My Second Marriage with the Mafia Kingpin novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Evil Boss

"They’re a really nice couple, you know? I mean, how could someone be so nice and smart at the same time? I didn’t know that was possible — to be successful and kind..."

Ashley rambled on and on while unpacking the luggage, seated comfortably on the floor. Meanwhile, Primo was propped on the edge of the bed, watching her make a mess in one area.

It wasn’t that Primo wasn’t listening — he was. But the luggage and the things she was taking out distracted him.

In his mind, he was... mortified at how she had stuffed everything into one suitcase.

There were snacks, souvenirs, and then seeds and plants! Plants! There was even a printed shirt from some plantation, and then a few jars of pure honey right beside the toys. As someone who liked everything organized and separated, this was pure horror for the little boy.

Just why...

But Ashley didn’t bother with that, thinking that having everything packed — or placed in Tupperware (for the plants) — was enough.

"Eh? Did it die?" she wondered as she lifted the clear Tupperware container to her face, where she had placed the plant. "I was worried it would die."

One of the reasons she had thrown another huge tantrum was this plant. She wanted to stay with Liza a bit longer, but she also knew there were things she needed to do in the territory.

Shaking her head, she snapped her eyes up at him. "Anyway, you’ll meet them, right?"

Primo’s brows rose as his thoughts halted, and he looked at her strangely.

"I mean, Auntie Liza and Uncle Tommy!" she intoned. "I told them about you. So they were interested in meeting the evil boss that I can’t defeat."

Evil... boss?

Primo blinked, only to see her nod and point at him.

"Yeah, you are — evil boss," she said without hesitation. "Well, anyway, before I left, you asked me if I had money."

The corner of her mouth curled into a smirk, looking a little more smug than before. "In a few months, this woman right here will be filthy, filthy rich."

"..." Primo blinked, reached for his drawing pad right next to him, and wrote quickly. When he flipped it, Ashley leaned forward and read:

[What did you do?]

She smirked again. "I used my head."

"..."

"Hah! I never thought I was good at anything, but I found out I’m actually a natural in business!" she intoned, laughing and beaming, impressed by her own actions. "Not just that, but my luck is sky-high too. Maybe because I spent my entire life working myself to the bone just to survive, the heavens finally said, that’s enough. She’s been through so much; let’s give her a break. Angel, form a team and protect the young lady! Hahaha!"

Primo could only shake his head at the overflowing arrogance seeping out of her.

She had been a little arrogant before, but after this trip, it seemed her confidence had hit the sky limit.

Her laughter grew louder and more wicked, like an evil witch who had just finished concocting her new and improved poison. And Primo’s only concern was...

Was it legal? 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

It was, but the next one? It might not be much.

Meanwhile, in the guesthouse...
