Chapter 23
His tone suddenly became sharp.
“You mistook pearls for fish eyes, and will lose her as a result of your own actions. But I am different, I will take good care of her, love her.”
Emilio mocked Silvano.
“In the future, do not appear in front of her again, let alone upset her.”
“Otherwise, I would not be polite at all.”
“It was deliberate on your part!”
Silvano finally realized that the few times he was able to see Maddalena before were all because Emilio had deliber- ately let him win!
“You plotted against me!”
“You deliberately made me meet Maddalena, it was you who made her dislike me!”
Emilio released Silvano’s fist and then bent down to straighten his own sleeves.
“What does it matter? Someone like you doesn’t deserve to have her anyway!”
“Nonsense! She and I have been childhood friends for so many years, but it’s you who suddenly appeared between us without any emotional foundation. You must have ulterior motives!”
Upon hearing Silvano’s question, Emilio couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing.
“Only trash will think others are trash when looking at them.”
Silvano’s face turned pale, staring at Emilio with a fixed gaze.
“Don’t get too cocky, one day I will snatch her back!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t give you such an opportunity.”
He treated Maddalena well and would never make the same mistake as Silvano.
P
Silvano wanted to say something else, but caught a glimpse of a white figure appearing at the door.
It was Maddalena!
He rushed over as if grasping at a lifesaving straw, and immediately grabbed Maddalena’s wedding dress.
“Maddy! Did you hear that? Emilio planned to marry you a long time ago! He has ulterior motives! He will definitely

betray you in the end!”
Emilio’s heart skipped a beat as he hadn’t expected Maddalena to show up at that moment, let alone Silvano saying such things in front of her.
He forced himself to remain calm, but could not conceal the panic in his eyes.
“Maddalena, I didn’t… Emilio started to say, but he was met with Maddalena’s calm gaze.”
“I knew, Maddalena’s voice was soft, but it clearly reached the ears of the two people present.”
She carefully pulled apart Silvano’s fingers clutching her wedding dress one by one, with a firmness that left no room for doubt.
Silvano was stunned.
“What do you know? he asked, somewhat incredulously.”
Maddalena looked up and met Silvano’s gaze, with a hint of sarcasm. “I know he had planned it all along, because back when the Albergo family hadn’t gone bankrupt yet, they invested a lot of money in Emilio and his partners. Oth- erwise, their project would have been terminated, and today’s success wouldn’t have happened.”
Silvano’s face turned deathly pale in an instant.
“He remembered this favor, he will treat me well. When you and Vittoria mother and daughter acted out of gratitude, he let me and him go. Otherwise, why do you think I chose him? Maddalena continued, her tone calm but cutting.”
She was not a fool. How could she entrust her lifelong happiness to a stranger?
Silvano staggered back a step as if all his strength had been drained.
“So, you married him not because you loved him at all!”
Maddalena was surprised to hear this and she glanced at Emilio.
“It didn’t start because of love at first.”
But who can say for sure what will happen next?
Silvano gave a bitter smile, his figure swaying slightly, the hope in his eyes fading little by little.
“Would you rather marry someone you don’t love, than come home with me?”
He felt as if his heart had been turned upside down, with all kinds of bitterness and bitterness surging up.
Maddalena did not answer the question, she turned and reached out her hand to Emilio.
“Let’s go, I want to go back.”
Emilio took a step forward and held her, half embracing her in his arms, and they walked out together.
