Harold frowned to hear it. “With a woman? What do you mean?”
Emily let out a sigh. “You know, he and the woman slept together.”
“Ah, an affair. Okay, did you show him the video?”
“I did.” She nodded.
“And?” He raised his eyebrow.
“He denied it was him. He said it was a made up video.”
Harold crossed his arms over his chest. “Did you believe him?”

A huge table was prepared already. Arturo sat on the right while Al was on Arturo’s right. Jacob sat in Arturo’s prior position, at the head of the table. It was symbolic as they already knew the leader’s replacement, starting from Jacob’s failed wedding day.The Ames family (Al’s cousins and uncles) sat at a different table. Despite being the same blood, Arturo never considered them too high because he saw and acknowledged people based on their competence, not by blood. It was a trait that made Arturo highly respected by ten families who were under his leadership.On the primary table, other than Jacob, Arturo, Al, the head of ten families sat there.

Please proceed with precautions for readers sensitive to violent scenes.“Now, about influence.” Arturo glared at Lewis. “Who can deny Jacob’s influence as one of the youngest billionaires in the country?” He stared at the rest.“Yeah, you’re right,” Lewis reluctantly admitted. “Jacob’s influence is solid here.”“See?” Arturo grinned. His body was less tense than before. “I’ll tell you the last reason I selected him.”Some leaders stared at Arturo.

Both of them sat in the living room of the Gold Cleaner’s headquarters with a glass of wine for each of them.“Have you found anything about Emily?” Jacob asked as Al was the one in charge to find news about Emily.“Nothing,” the younger man said. “It’s as if she vanished into the air. It’s weird that I already sent our men to nearby cities and towns. None of them reports anything yet.”Jacob blew his breath and shook his head. “Where is she …?”“Bro, you can find someone else. I know you don’t need more money.”“You know me better,” Jacob said

“I’m curious about something.” Al stared at Jacob.“Hmm?”“How could you build your business from scratch? I mean you told me you got a loan from Amy to pay the ransom. It means you didn’t have money to start your business, right?”“Right.” Jacob nodded and leaned his back on the couch again. “It’s like a dream when I think about it now.” He closed his eyes. “I thought all’s gone when my father died ….”“Sorry, Bro. No need to tell me if it’s too hurtful.”Sighing, Jacob shook his head. “It’s okay. I told your old man years ago before I joined the Gold Cleaner, you know.”

Then Al let out a long sigh.“What?” Jacob asked.“I don’t want to be like my old man, you know.”“Why?”“Too serious with a woman, even after she died.” Al shook his head as he remembered his late mother. “It’s too intense. As if I would give too much power to a woman for the rest of my life, even after her death.”“But you see your father. He’s happy with his choice.”Al shrugged. “I don’t know, maybe, but I think it’s a torture to love someone so deep, to be hurt so

I … I wonder if we can talk.”“Oh? Sure. What do you want to talk about?” “Well, about the offer you gave.” She licked her dry lips. “I’m at a cafe near the hospital. Can you come here so we can talk?”“Okay. I’m on my way.”After thirty minutes, Jacob arrived at the cafe. Since a few visitors were there, he could spot Emily right away. She waved at him, and he walked toward her table.

However, she didn’t want to create a scene in Harold’s office.Viona sneered and then bent her head to whisper, “Mr. Montgomery is such a generous man. He promised to give me a jewelry set.” Then she licked her lips. “Maybe he loves my surprise.”Clenching her hand, Emily took a deep breath. She smiled at the assistant. “You can have your lunch now.”

The Billionaire's Secret: A Second Chance Mafia Romance Chapter 87: The Silent Syndicate's Meeting
At night, Harold attended a meeting of the Silent Syndicate in the headquarters. The agenda was to determine their next leader. It was a regular thing they would discuss every decade. Considering they could choose a new leader after a decade, it would ensure that the syndicate wouldn’t have a bad leader for too long.Five-year leadership changes were suggested because a decade seemed too much. However, most leaders opposed the feedback in the last meeting. It was impractical to change a new leader every five years. Besides, creating a leadership structure required a long time. Changing it every five years would be unproductive.Harold willingly stepped aside for a new leader to take his place. It wasn’t a big deal for him to be the highest leader or not because he was already busy in his business too. Yet, since most of the Silent Syndic
