Chapter 332

“It’s a good thing you came here early, Lucas!” Mario carried a serious expression on his face. “Today I want to show you something which is only for family…today I want to show you the real Castillos.”

The real Castillos? Did that mean he was finally going to tell me their deepest secrets? Did that mean I could eventually distance myself from this family and leave sooner than expected?

Good, they were…hideous.

Who was I kidding? I enjoyed being here.

“The real Castillos?” I questioned as Mario pulled out a big map and threw it on the table. “Yes, so listen very well.”

Just as expected, that old man showed me a map of where they keep all their products and gave me the names of all their men and business partners. Apparently, Mario trusted me so much that he didn’t know he was serving me his downfall.

All he could see was Carmela’s lost son.

“Why are you telling me all of this?”

“Because I want you to know that I accept you and trust you.”

He trusted mË.

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll report all of this?”

“I’m Mario Castillo.” The man held his head high.

“I’ve got nothing to be afraid of.” He spoke with open arms. I admired his confidence, but George Torres was not someone to underestimate, and neither was 1.

I was here to destroy him, and George was willing to do anything to advance Maddens and to get back his only daughter.

“Thank you for being honest with me.”

“Anything for my son.” Mario nodded. “My only son from the love of my life, Carmela.”

I felt a strange feeling in my heart. My only son from the love of my life, Carmela. For some reason, those words did something to me.

It made me think whether starting an alliance with George was really that necessary. I hated Mario for missing a father figure growing up. I hated him. I wanted to destroy him-but at the same time, I was ready to forgive him. Everything he said about his love for mom was true, and the maids confirmed it
