Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 89: The man's great influence.

"Well, Cristian and I are half-brothers."

Leonardo explained softly, "The issue is a bit complicated, but Cristian grew up outside the house and only came back to our house in the last few years, so the way he relates to us is a bit strange. His legs hurt. He gets angry very easily. Cristian...He suffered a lot outside the home. Our grandfather hoped to make amends with him, so he offered Cristian the position of company president. Of course, he himself has those skills. Although our grandfather has not yet given him that position, someday with his abilities he could occupy that position.

Serena:"... "I did not expect it to be so complicated.

However, Cristian grew up outside the home since he was a child? Did he and Leonardo have the same father but not the same mother? Was it possible that...he was an illegitimate child?

Thinking that Cristian's mother might be a lover, Serena felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Perhaps it was because she too had been betrayed

Thinking about this, Serena curled her lips, recalling Cristian's appearance. Was he irritable because of this?

"This is a secret between you and me. Don't talk about it in front of Cristian. He will be angry." Leonardo smiled at Serena, "Do you understand?"

Serena looked at him, said nothing and just nodded.

After arriving at the intersection before the Ferrari house, Leonardo stopped the car.

"Thank you, I'm leaving now." Before Serena left, Leonardo stopped her and then handed her a bag, "This is an extra cake that my secretary bought, but I don't like sweet things. Give it to Cristian."

Cake?

Serena paused, too...She didn't like greasy foods that made her vomit.

"Big brother, don't you want it?"

"Take it, don't you girls like to eat?" Leonardo pushed her to get the cake. Serena took it and got out of the car.

After greeting Leonardo, Serena stood at the intersection for a while before going inside, taking the cake with her.

She was a little worried. What was she supposed to do with the cake? She didn't think it was good to throw away things donated by others, but if she ate it...then she wouldn't eat anymore. She decided to call Alice Giordano who really liked cakes.

She thought about it for a while, when Serena pulled out her cell phone to call Alice, a familiar car sped past her before slowing down.

Serena looked to the side unconsciously, only to meet Cristian's cold eyes and everything seemed to stop.

Cristian, was he back, too?

It had only been a minute since she had gotten out of the car, then he...had seen everything? Thinking about this, Serena paled.

However, Cristian merely gave her a cold look, then withdrew his gaze. The car drove away, and a cloud of dust rose.

At the same time, Serena's cell phone had called Alice's.

"Hello?"""Serena?"""Hello?"

On the other end of the phone was Alice talking without receiving an answer, Serena came back to herself and put the phone close to her ear.

"Alice."

"Serena, what's going on? Why didn't you answer?"

Serena smiled again and calmly explained, "I was walking down the street and had to dodge a car."

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Why did you call me?"

Serena looked at the cake in her hand, "Do you like cakes? I have one in my hand now. Would you like it?"

Alice immediately agreed, "Okay, okay, where are you? I'll be right with you."

Serena told her the meeting place and went to a nearby cafe after hanging up the phone.

Not long after sitting down, Alice arrived.

When she saw the cake, Alice's eyes almost lit up.

"Dear Serena, you are really my best friend. You even brought me the cake from 'Pastry Shop Happiness'?

"Pastry Shop Happiness?"

Serena tilted her head, "Is this cake famous?"

"Of course it is!" Alice greedily picked up her spoon and took a sip of cream. "It is the most popular pastry shop in North Town. The owner is very strange. He only makes ten cakes a day. When he sells them al he doesn't make more. I often wait in line to buy one, but I never succeeded. I didn't expect you to be able to buy it. That's great."

If it was so difficult to buy? How did Leonardo's secretary buy it?

But this was not something she should consider.

"By the way, what happened to the things you helped me check? Have you heard anything?" Serena asked on the occasion.

Hearing this, Alice looked up at her. The corner of her mouth was still smeared with cream, "I knew you were not so kind. I said, why did you suddenly buy me a cake today? You don't eat it normally and it turns out you have something to ask me."

Serena looked at her helplessly, "Yes, I have to rely on you for important matters. I have to be more diligent."

"Come on, you know you pressure me, but for a piece of cake, I'll give you good news." Having said that, Alice's expression suddenly became more serious. She placed the knife and fork in her hands and said solemnly.

"We have already helped you replace the production place of the button. Now my brother is trying to contact the designer. But I've heard that this designer is a bit peculiar: he sells everything himself and only sells to acquaintances or designated people. I remember telling you last time that there are only two suits with this button, right? One of them caused a stir. Because the designer was famous, many people demanded it at a high price. He sent a suit with this button directly to a charity, which delivered it to an auction house. I heard that it was sold for the price of one million euros. Obviously the person is a famous foreign businessman who already has a wife and children. We investigated him and he has never been to Italy, so this person can be excluded. "

Hearing this, Serena could not help but catch her breath and was a bit shocked.

That button...I didn't expect its influence to be so great.

How much did it cost? A million euros?

"On the other one we are still investigating. When we contact the designer, we will soon know where this one is sold, but what is certain is that...Serena, you will fly on a branch and become a phoenix! " Hearing this last sentence, Serena's expression became a little more unpleasant.

Flying on a branch to be a phoenix? She had never thought of that before, and...the greater the man's influence, the more worried Serena became.

She would rather be a normal person.

Seeing her eyes lowered, her mood seemed to drop suddenly. Alice thought her words hurt her and explained in panic, "Serena, don't misunderstand me. When I said you will fly on a branch to become a phoenix, it was not to despise you. You are just lucky enough to have met a very powerful man!"
