Chapter 880: I would not be with any woman but her.
Angelo was shocked because it was beyond his imagination. He had never imagined Magdalene to be
so evil, so it took him a while to recover. Then he opened his eyes and warned everyone present, "Dirty
Vittorio understood the reason for what Angelo had said: the fact that Magdalene had done such a vile
thing would dishonor the two great families. However, what she had addressed to Cristian made him
wince: although it is a fact that she drugged you, you also hurt her face.
After hearing this, Cristian stood there like a statue, with cold stares and tight lips. What a gloomy
atmosphere! His thin lips were so tight together in anger that they turned pale. He was already
imagining what Angelo would say next.
Angelo paused to think once more, but finally added, "This way, we settle the score, right?
Vittorio looked at him surprised, even butler Domenico was astonished, he did not expect that Angelo
still had a preference for Magdalena. If the situation continued like this, it would have few positive
consequences.
Angelo''s words corresponded perfectly to what Cristian had sensed. Instead of being surprised like the
others, he showed a mysterious but fleeting smile. He asked his grandfather very casually, "Then
what? Don''t tell me you still want him to engage with that harpy?
Angelo frowned at him, but he had to admit that Cristian had hit the nail on the head. By virtue of that
serious wound on Magdalene''s forehead, he thought Cristian should make it up to her. Moreover, he
did not want his nephew to be with Serena.
Seeing this, Vittorio couldn''t take it anymore and stepped forward to advise: -Grandpa, you can''t do this
with Cristian. Magdalena doesn''t deserve him....
Angelo interrupted him and looked at him with disgust, saying in a rough voice: -Vittorio, I just told you
to mind your own business. This is a family matter that has nothing to do with you.
Vittorio fell silent. It seemed to him that those words were right. He had no reason to get involved. He
relented and said, "Okay, he''s right, Grandpa. It''s true that I don''t want to be involved.
-Then why don''t you leave?" said Angelo.
-But... -Vittorio rubbed his head and said nervously, "Cristian is my partner, I can''t stand by and watch
him suffer injustice.
-God! -Angelo was so angry that a profanity escaped him.
-Vittorio looked up at Cristian, looking at him in his usual way. In a second, Cristian added, -You go
back first.
It hade to that, so there was no need to involve him further.
Vittorio was puzzled for a moment, and could only nod. Although his grandfather''s words had broken
his heart, the look on Cristian''s face was quiteforting.
It seemed to him thating here would be worth all the pain. Then he left, while Angelo watched him
until he waspletely out of sight. Until then, he started to turn Vittorio green, saying, "This guy is
always going around, and he has a bad reputation, so you should keep your distance from him.
Cristian turned deaf and did not respond to his "good" advice. He looked at him with disgust.
Angelo saw him like that and felt offended. Then he seriously shouted, "Do you hear me?
Finally, Cristian couldn''t take it anymore and began toin, "You force me to marry for your taste,
and you also took away my right to decide who to befriend.
Angelo became so angry that he wanted to scold him with expletives, but he gave up because there
were so many people in the room. He then made a sign to signal the two men to take the maid outside.
Since the maid had already confessed everything, Cristian nodded. Soon there were only three people
left.
Dominic stood quietly on the sidelines, feeling helpless in the face of such dramatic theater: Magdalene
had drugged Cristian, but Cristian had managed to reveal the truth by capturing the maid, leaving
Angelo humiliated. The struggle against one''s own grandfather turned out to be a very emotional
drama.
-Now that the others are gone, I must say something so that you have a very clear idea.
Our family has always maintained a good friendship with the Landi family. The fact that Magdalena did
this and that to you is surely due to her anger that you provoked by your stubborn refusal to
He gave a deep sigh and sat down. Then he lowered his voice to advise Cristian, saying, "I know you
don''t like it, but love grows with time. First, make amitment to her, and soon the two of you will get
along. In this way, the two families will be even closer, and this will benefit everyone.
Cristian looked up only to see his grandfather. He kept his mouth shut and said nothing. His silence
made Angelo believe that his words had killed Cristian''s desire to talk. So he changed the subject and
asked, "Last night, where did you go?
He had better not talk about it because Cristian''s reaction almost gave him a heart attack.
Instead of answering him, Cristian asked a question: -Grandpa, do you have any other ideas about
this?
-This question as if it were a lid covering Angelo''s mouth.
Then he added: -Grandpa, you are absolutely right. She drugged me and got hurt because of me, so
now be at peace. But-
-He paused before continuing, giving her a somewhat mocking look, "I''m not a doctor, so I''m not good
at removing the scar on her forehead. There''s no way I''m interested in a snake that drugged me, let
alone engaging with that.
-My God," Angelo was so angry he gritted his teeth, "You''re stubborn!
-Aha?"ughed Cristian, who was surprisingly calm, "How about you?
-Angelo jumped up from the couch and threw his stick at Cristian, who saved himself by stepping back.
Then Cristian said, "At first, I let him hit me, because I wanted to show him that I would not be with any
woman but Serena.
Angelo wanted to go ahead and hit him again, but he was stopped by Dominic, who said, "Sir, don''t be
angry, calm down! That blow was strong enough to hurt Master Cristian, do you want to cripple him
with more blows?
-I still have business matters to resolve.

I''m going," Cristian said, then left without looking back.
-Damn it,e back!" ordered Angelo.
