Chapter 30 As Expected Of His Wife
Finished
After watching that interesting show, Silas was downright impressed. “Zev, I have to commend the wife you married through a marriage alliance. Following all that, I doubt her stepmother’s days ahead will be easy. Was she truly raised on a farm in the countryside! Her cunningness is no less inferior to that of Hepham’s socialites.”
Zevan had his hands tucked into his pant pockets, his expression devoid of surprise.
As the mafia boss‘ wife, she indeed has to possess some cunningness and methods. She’s like a mystery, slowly drawing me in.
“I’ll be leaving first.”
Zevan was about to leave, but a figure suddenly appeared before him. It was none other than Emilia.
Emilia was evil at heart, but unfortunately for her, she didn’t inherit Hazel’s scheming nature. She was capricious, covetous, and altogether quite unlikable.
She was still unaware of the scandal that had befallen her parents, for she was entirely obsessed with Zevan, who was handsome and had a remarkable family background
Jiggling her ample bosom, she flipped her blond hair and exclaimed in feigned surprise, “Well, sir, we meet again! I dare say this must be fate’s doing.”
At the side, Silas stared at the woman who was deliberately seducing the mafia boss.
She must be truly sick of living. I’ve long since advised Zev not to conceal his identity as the mafia boss. Otherwise, given his strikingly handsome looks, countless women would undoubtedly be vying for his attention.
But in truth, if Zevan were to publicize the fact that he was the rumored sanguinary and terrifying mafia boss, many women would certainly be scared just at the sight of him and would never approach him to flirt with him.
Zevan’s indecipherable gaze swept over the coy woman before him before stilling on her pretty face lightly. His deep voice carried no hint of emotion. “If it weren’t for the fact that you’re related to my wife, you would already be dead by now.
Emilia had already seen him in the cake shop that day. Seeing him again then, she still felt a rush of excitement. Despite her suspicion that he was part of the mafia, she was drawn to his handsome face. She had never seen a man that good–looking, who was also from a distinguished background.
So what if he’s part of the maha? Maybe he’s different from the mafia boss and is not that terrifying or ruthless.
Her small face was flushed as she stared greedily at the man’s flawless handsome face. She proceeded to attempt to lure him with money. “I’m a daughter of the Somerville family. No matter what, we are considered a political family. This check is for you. From now on, you don’t need to protect Minerva at all times. I have money and can take you as my sugar baby.”
Silas was struck speechless.
Whoa! What is this I’m seeing? All these years, this is the first time someone offered to take Zev as a sugar baby with a check! Taking a member of the mafia as a sugar baby? Has the peaceful expansion these past few years led these fools to believe that the mafia is on the brink of annihilation?
Zevan slipped his hands into his pockets. Soon, a hint of a mocking and cold smirk curved his lips.
He didn’t utter a word of rejection or insult, but Emilia’s face flushed bright red with embarrassment at his sneer.
Emilia herself couldn’t quite comprehend what was wrong with her. After all, she was a daughter of the Somerville family. and her family would never condone falling in love with a member of the mafia. Otherwise, her parents would not have gone all out to prevent her and her sister from becoming the mafia boss‘ wife.
Logically speaking, being the mafia boss‘ wife would come with countless privileges and riches. However, there was a fatal flaw with the mafia itself–they had too many enemies, making them extremely susceptible to assassination.
“W-Why are you laughing?”
Zevan arched an eyebrow. “You should count yourself fortunate that I’m in a good mood today and not inclined to kill a

All of Emilia’s enthusiasm was instantly doused.
What did he just say? He wasn’t inclined to kill a woman today? Doesn’t that mean that he thought about killing me?

She glanced at the spot on the man’s chest that was bulging slightly, only to realize that a gun was tucked away there.
Zevan had only taken a step forward when he halted in his tracks because he spotted a stunningly beautiful figure ahead. It
was Minerva.
At some point in time, Minerva was already there. Her brilliant eyes fixed on him twinkled brightly.
Zevan looked at Minerva. A few seconds later, he quickly took his hands out of his pant pockets. “I am very loyal, Mrs. Lemieux. I didn’t do anything. I didn’t betray you. You saw it yourself, she was the one who made advances on me!”
The man who was aloof and unapproachable one second fell right off his pedestal the next, pleading his case to Minerva with an utterly innocent tone. That sight nearly left Silas dumbfounded.
“It’s you again. Minerval” Emilia clenched her fists, gritting her teeth in resentment
Minerva sauntered over, blocking Zevan from view with her slender figure. “Emilia, say, if Father were to learn that you were seducing the mafia in a bar while flaunting your bosom and thighs, would he be furious?”
“How dare you!”
