Dangerous Secrets: My Mafia Stepbrother

After Elisa finished talking to Evelyn, she immediately called Emanuele to report the situation. Emanuele then arranged for people to go to the nearby streets. Considering that William’s people might be at Evelyn’s parents’ house, they couldn’t openly go there. He believed William would quickly make the decision to harm anyone who noticed something was wrong.

“James, I’m entrusting this matter to you. Regardless, ensure Evelyn’s parents’ safety. I suggest you disguise yourselves as deliverymen, takeout couriers, or cleaning company personnel,” Emanuele advised. He thought this would relax William’s people’s guard.

James nodded solemnly. “Boss, rest assured, I will complete the mission,” he said.

At that moment, Evelyn’s image came to James’ mind. No wonder, the last time he saw her, she looked so worn out. Previously, when he saw her, she was happy and enthusiastic. But the last time, she wasn’t the same. Clearly, during this period, she had been burdened. She must be very upset.

He would definitely protect her parents and ensure nothing happened to them.

After giving his orders, Emanuele looked at the map of Chicago in front of him, his brow furrowed tightly.

Damn it, William, you’re over here, aren’t you? He estimated that he would soon catch William and make him pay.

Just then, Emanuele received a message on his phone: “Emanuele, I have prepared a surprise for you. I hope you like it.”

It was an anonymous number, but even without a signature, Emanuele could guess who it was.

It was William.

Why did he send this message?

His intuition told him Isabella might be in danger. Emanuele immediately went to the apartment.

Meanwhile, in the apartment, after finishing her conversation with Elisa, Evelyn couldn’t help but feel relieved. She felt herself relax. The rest, she left to Elisa. Elisa assured her that she would protect Evelyn’s parents, and Evelyn believed her. Regardless, this was her final hope. If things really escalated to the worst, she closed her eyes, her face filled with pain. Her parents should understand her.

Evelyn went downstairs to accompany Isabella, but she didn’t plan to tell Isabella about this matter. Isabella was pregnant now, and she hoped everything would be fine for her.

At that moment, Isabella was watching TV in the living room. Her favorite male guest was on a variety show, and she was smiling happily. Hearing footsteps, she immediately looked towards the stairs and greeted Evelyn as she came down.

“Evelyn, you’ve been chatting with Elisa for so long? What did you guys talk about? Tell me quickly, I can’t wait to know,” she said.

She didn’t understand why Evelyn and Elisa had secrets and had to go upstairs to talk. Were they getting along so well now?

“Nothing much,” Evelyn said, hugging Isabella. “We were just discussing what surprise to give you. Your baby is about to be born, and we want to give her a gift. Isabella, don’t ask anymore, just let me keep the mystery, okay?”

Upon hearing Evelyn’s words, Isabella laughed heartily. “It’s okay, Evelyn, I’ll be happy with whatever you give me.”

After all, it was all from Evelyn’s heart.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Evelyn wanted to say more, but her phone rang. She received a message from William.

“Evelyn, have you not acted yet? There’s only one day left.”

Evelyn didn’t want to answer William’s question, but considering that Emanuele had sent people to look for her parents, she had to play a part.

“William, can you give me two more days? I’m still a little afraid.”

“No, tomorrow is the deadline. But, I actually know you probably won’t be able to do it, so I’ve already taken action.”

Upon seeing William’s message, Evelyn felt her vision darken, her pupils contracting uncontrollably. Her heart raced, as if it wanted to burst out of her throat.

What did he mean? He had already taken action?

At that moment, sitting next to Evelyn, Isabella suddenly screamed.

“Pain… it hurts… my stomach hurts so much…” Isabella clutched her stomach, the pain curling her into a ball.

Evelyn immediately embraced Isabella. “Are you okay, Isabella? Please don’t scare me!”

God, please, let Isabella be safe.

But then she saw the red blood spreading under Isabella’s snow-white dress, like a bright flower blooming beneath her.

Evelyn screamed in panic and looked at Tony. “Tony, take her to the hospital! Quickly!”

She knew Isabella’s situation was urgent and couldn’t afford any delay. Tony quickly arranged things and carried Isabella downstairs. Evelyn followed Tony out.

Elisa also followed them out.

Elisa, hearing the commotion, rushed down as well. She saw Isabella, pale and contorted with pain, blood staining her dress. Elisa immediately turned to Evelyn, her voice filled with urgency. “What’s going on? Didn’t you throw away your medicine?”

Seeing Elisa question her immediately, Evelyn felt a heavy pressure in her chest. Indeed, Elisa still didn’t fully trust her. At this moment, she was being questioned. But then again, she herself was under suspicion.

Evelyn handed the message William had sent her to Elisa to read. After reading it, Elisa’s face filled with anger. “That despicable creature! He drugged Isabella!”

Elisa immediately instructed Lilly to preserve all the remaining food from the night for testing at a medical facility. She had Harry take it there, while she went to the hospital with Isabella.

On the other side, upon seeing the message from William, Emanuele immediately drove to the apartment. En route, he called Tony.

“Tony, Isabella might be in danger, we need to…”

“Boss, Mrs. is bleeding. We are preparing to take her to the hospital. We are on our way there now,” Tony’s voice came through, filled with urgency, interrupting Emanuele.

Emanuele was stunned. He stepped on the gas, nearly colliding with a nearby car. He quickly swerved, narrowly avoiding an accident. He rushed to the hospital.

By the time Emanuele arrived, Isabella had already been taken into the operating room. Seeing the lights of the operating room, Emanuele turned to Tony and the others. “What the hell is going on? Why is Isabella in the hospital?”

Anger and frustration made Emanuele want to tear the world apart.

“We suspect Isabella might have been drugged. It’s possible the food we brought back contained something. We’ve sent the food for testing, and we’ll have results soon,” Elisa explained.

Emanuele’s face was icy, like a category ten hurricane, incredibly terrifying.

This was the first time Evelyn had seen Emanuele with such a frightening expression. When they had met before, Emanuele had seemed relatively mild. At that time, she hadn’t found him to be as intimidating as the rumors made him out to be. But now, Evelyn couldn’t even bear to look at him.
