The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame (Donald and Jennifer)

Chapter 1137 The Havenzo Estate

In appreciation of Donald's assistance, the restaurant owner, Carlo, graciously waived the bill for their meal.

While Testa Nera might rule with an iron fist in Iugrea, even the mafia had its own code of conduct. One of them was only seeking revenge on the person who committed the transgression. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Thus, Carlos wasn't worried about Cassimo coming back for revenge on the restaurant. Because if he did, it would be equivalent to breaking the rules of the entire underworld. Then, not only would Nero Manto pick trouble with him, but even his own people from Testa Nera would have a bone to pick with him.

After the delightful dinner, Lina went to the underground parking garage and retrieved her car.

Upon seeing that the car she drove was only worth around a hundred thousand, Geraldine asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you can represent the Havenzo family in extending us an invitation?"

It was not that Geraldine was snobbish, but Lina's appearances inevitably made her doubtful.

It was no different from someone driving a Jetta inviting one to a billionaire's house for a visit.

That would be nothing more than a joke.

Hearing Geraldine's question, Lina replied rather sheepishly, "Although my status and benefits may not be the best, Ms. Harper, I am indeed a member of the Havenzo family. In terms of blood relations, I am Letizia's distant cousin."

While saying that, she showed them a golden badge.

The emblem on the badge was indeed the crest of the Havenzo family.

For such a family, bloodline always took precedence.

Blood ties varied in closeness, so no matter how capable Lina was, she could only do insignificant work within the family business.

She wouldn't starve nor have to worry about basic necessities.

But if she were hoping to lead an excessively lavish life, that would simply be impossible.

Bringing outside guests to the Havenzo Estate was one of the few privileges Lina enjoyed.

Out of respect for Lina's sincere invitation, Geraldine and Donald ultimately got into her car.

The Havenzo family was a prominent family in Iugrea, and the Havenzo Estate occupied a large area of the city's prime real estate.

It was not until after the guard at the mansion's gates had confirmed Lina's identity that the trio could enter the premises.

There was a vast lawn, a lake graced with swans, and not far off, an ancient castle filled with a sense of historical changes.

Sitting in the back, Geraldine constantly took selfies with her phone. Every now and then, she would hug Donald's arm and coax him to smile for a picture with her.

"Ms. Harper, Mr. Campbell, I will take you through the mansion's side entrance later. According to Ms. Havenzo's daily routine, she should be reading in the study on the second floor now. Kindly be quiet when entering the mansion to avoid any unnecessary trouble."

"We are your guests. Surely, we're not expected to stay quiet for the next few days here?" Geraldine countered in displeasure.

"Of course, that's not what I meant, Ms. Harper. What I'm trying to say is, it would be best to avoid being seen by the other heirs before we meet Ms. Havenzo."

Upon hearing Lina's words, Geraldine understood her meaning.

Letizia might be the head of the family, but her brothers were not to be underestimated.

If they were to catch an outsider secretly meeting with Letizia, putting aside what they might think, it would certainly put Lina in an extremely difficult situation afterward.

But life is often ironic—one's deepest fear tends to come to pass.

Having parked the car, Lina was just about to lead the duo into the mansion through the side entrance when a familiar male voice rang out in the direction of the main entrance.

"Well, if it isn't Ms. Harper! Have you had a change of heart and decided to continue collaborating with our company?"

Geraldine snapped her head around, only to see Baccio with a cigar in hand, looking at them with contempt written all over his face.
