Mr. Villain's Lovely Wife

Chapter 8

“You want me to cut all financial support to Miss Amalia and her laughter?” Lawyer Maria Alcaraz raised an eyebrow, studying Izzy carefully. “Everything!”

“Yes, “Trzy answered, her voice cold. She knew that finances had the potential to complicate everything if not handled swiftly. This was the first task on her packed schedule, and hesitation was a luxury she couldn’t afford

With that in mind, she immediately reached out to Maria, her late grandfather’s trusted lawyer and the executor of his will, to arrange a meeting before she could start executing her plans step by step. Each move needed to be precise, deliberate, and impeccably timed if she wanted everything to fall into place without a hitch.

Maria leaned back, folding her hands on the desk. “Just to be clear, we’re talking about canceling all the credit cards under Your Accounts as well?”

Izzy nodded. “Supplementary cards, yes. Let’s start with credit cards. But keep the deposits going into their bank accounts for now. I need copies of my credit report. I don’t want them touching my credit anymore.”

Maria jotted down a quick note on the pad in front of her, then looked up, her gaze serious. “Canceling the credit cards is straightforward. But they’re going to notice something’s up. Are you ready for that? They’ll come asking questions.” Izzy didn’t miss the concern in Maria’s eyes. Maria had been the Rossi Family lawyer for years and was already handling the financial aspect of the Rossi family before her grandfather passed. She knew everything that happened to Izzy.

“Let them. If they ask, I’ll tell them there’s an issue with the trust or that the bank is handling something. I don’t owe them an explanation.” Izzy said.

Maria’s expression shifted slightly. “You do remember that youraunt, Miss Amalia, has been managing your finances since… well since you asked me to hand them over when you became an adult. Years ago.”

Izzy stiffened. She did remember. It was a mistake. One she regretted deeply now. But at the time, it had made sense. Amalia handled everything in the household–groceries, bills, even paying for the more “important” stuff. Izzy had trusted her. “I need copies of all my accounts,” she said calmly, though the storm was brewing underneath. And properties. All that was

“All of them?” Maria’s voice held a note of surprise.

“Yes.” Izzy nodded, her jaw tightening. “Including the one in Switzerland.”

Maria raised an eyebrow before smirking slightly. “Forgive me, Izzy, but… did you hit your head recently?”

Izzy frowned, not in the mood for jokes. “No.”

“Did you perhaps had a near death experience?” Maria asked.

“No,” Izzy shook her head.

Maria leaned forward. “So you just woke up one morning and realized they’ve been draining you dry for years?”
