Chapter 13 Mayhem at the Leone Residence
Carmela’s POV:
I had found a suitable wife for my son–a beautiful woman from a decent family, most importantly, she was thoughtful enough to buy me lovely jewelry.

Just as I was about to arrange a meeting between her and my son, a servant from the Leone residence called me unexpectedly.
I had a bad feeling about this; it was usually about Bella that the Leone residence’s servants would call me.
But hadn’t Bella already divorced my son and left the Leone residence?
When I answered the phone, the servant on the other end spoke anxiously, “Madam Carmela, the Godfather has returned to the Leone residence! And he brought Bella back with him! He also instructed that Bella is not allowed to leave the Leone residence. It seems he has no plans to divorce her.”
“What! That girl signed the divorce papers and dared to come back? I will skin that little wretch!”
Madam Carmela snorted coldly, leading her entourage to the Leone residence in a grand procession.
The servants at the door were all appointed by me; they obeyed my commands. Seeing me arrive at the Leone residence, the servants didn’t hesitate to open the gates.
I stormed into the hall and shouted, “Bella, you shameless woman, why are you still at the Leone residence?”
! glared furiously at Bella, who was sitting in the living room, painting. She was dressed in a white dress, holding a paintbrush.
Such an uncultured creature, not even knowing how to greet her elders upon seeing them! And still painting there–I should never have hastily bought her from a minor family!
“Bella, you no longer belong to the Leone family. Get out now!” With the divorce papers signed, where did she get the face to stay?
“Madam Carmela, don’t bother arguing with an outsider, it’s not worth harming your health over.”
See, this is what a child from a major family is like, caring about an elder’s health.
Even after my declaration, the servants had yet to take action, these fools, afraid of a woman from a minor family.
“They might be afraid of you, but I am not. Today, I must drive you out! You uncultured thing from a minor family.”

I mercilessly knocked over the paint in front of Bella, mixing the colors into a dark stain that spread all over her white dress.
I looked at Bella with a triumphant gleam in my eye, this uncultured thing wouldn’t dare to defy me, and soon she would apologize meekly and go upstairs to change her clothes.
But unexpectedly, she picked up the water jar for washing her brushes and threw it at me without hesitation.
The pungent paint water covered my face, and I was both angry and shocked, “Bella, you have no respect for elders!”
“It was you who started this, how can you blame me for disrespecting you?”
Uncultured wretch! Dare to talk back!
“Still talking back, I… I will kill you!”
I was too agitated. If it weren’t for the family rule against women using firearms, I would have killed Bella myself!
Just then, I felt dizzy, and the surroundings seemed to collapse around me.
“Madam Carmela, are you alright?” Hearing the urgent voice of Roxy, I was moved to tears.
My head was in such pain, I didn’t even know what to say, but luckily Roxy, this clever child, blamed Bella for me, “Bella, what are you trying to do, making Madam Carmela faint?”
‘You truly deserve your reputation as an international star, acting whenever you please. There are no cameras here, no need for a tragic drama.”
What nonsense Bella was spouting! The relationship between Roxy and me could never be just an act! I looked at Roxy, her eyes red with anger.
She really is a good child.
Then, from the front yard came the sound of a car engine shutting off.
Good, someone has come back! It must be my child; he will surely punish Bella severely.
A steady tread entered, “What is going on here?”
Hearing my son’s voice, I immediately burst into tears.
“Salvatore, my dear boy! Bella is out of control, she dared to attack me. As long as she is in the Leone family, we cannot live in peace!”
