The CEO's Woman

The Vercello Mansion was located on the south side of the Emerald Country. Because Jiang Yue and Fu Jin's mansion was on an island, she needed to ride a helicopter towards the Vercello's estate. Since they only have one helicopter, Jiang Yue was left with no choice but to travel with Peter this time.

"I was really curious about you Miss Jiang. I remember when my uncle told me about you years ago. I was so intrigued I have to ask someone to follow you around. I hope you can forgive my presumptuous actions." Peter said, his lips were hooked into a smile. However, this one did not reach his eyes. Seeing Jiang Yue looked at him, Peter continued. "I still have a video of the presentation when you kicked the Wu Families ass? I was so impressed! I immediately asked my uncle to contact you but unfortunately, he refused."

Peter made a deliberate pause while waiting for Jiang Yue's answer, however, the latter just stared at him with a blank look on her face. Then she opened her mouth and yelled.. "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" and turned her attention back to the view outside the helicopter.

Peter's brain seemed to blank out from Jiang Yue's words. He does not know how to react. Was she just kidding? It would be impossible for Jiang Yue not to hear him. Was she trying to avoid talking to him?

But why?

Peter couldn't help but frown. After this, he chose to stay silent and not say anything else to Jiang Yue anymore. In Peter's thinking, Jiang Yue will be his, soon. Whether she likes it or not, she will become his soon.

The rest of the ride went silently. After a few more minutes, Jiang Yue and Peter landed in a landing area just at the back of the mansion.

When Jiang Yue got off the helicopter, the first thing that she noticed was the group of people who were looking at her. Then she saw Antonio walked towards her, with a big smile on his faces.

"Welcome to the family!" Antonio gave her his hand and Jiang Yue shook it before they walked away from the landing area.

"This is the Vercello Mansion. I am Antonio your grandmother's husband." Antonio said with an amiable smile on his face. "I'm sure you already know that." The man sounded so confident that it instantly irritated Jiang Yue even more.

"This is Elder Yu. We call him the first elder." He pointed the old man with a goatee. "That is Mr. Quan, I'm sure you are already familiar with him. He is from the same country as you. I'm sure you already know his son Quan Lei too."

Antonio continued introducing everyone to Jiang Yue. However, Jiang Yue's mind was thinking about the absence of her grandmother, Natalie Vercello. She was supposed to be the Matriarch so why was she not here? Her mind then drifted towards the conversation that she heard last night.

She remembered how her grandmother never said long sentence last night. It was as if she was not the true leader of the group but was Antonio instead. Jiang Yue frowned inwardly. Was it possible that Natalie was, in fact, powerless inside the Vercello Family?

Jiang Yue's woke up from her stupor when she noticed that they were already inside the Mansion. Antonio lead her towards the extravagant dinner table and asked her to take the seat next to his. Once again, Jiang Yue wondered about the arrangement of seats.

In front of her was a rectangular table, made of an expensive wood. What baffled Jiang Yue was the fact that the one sitting on the seat reserved for the head was actually Antonio. Is he the one leading the Vercello Family? And where is her grandmother?
