“My men have located where Johanna is hiding,” Frank informed. “Don't worry. She's fine but is surrounded by many bodyguards in the mansion. My men can't get close.”

He had also located the gold hidden in the church.

Frank was Alston's trusted right-hand man and a core member of the Leonardo family, knowing all of the family's financial and personal affairs and that Alston wanted to get rid of Zephyr.

He could begin setting things in motion once Genevieve obtained the Sheraton family's list of inner circle members.

Genevieve couldn't shake the feeling of unease in her heart until she knew Johanna was safe.

She arranged for a meeting with Evangeline the following day and revealed that she was Zephyr's half-sister.

There was shocked silence from Evangeline's side for a long time.

Zephyr's father came to Lostaria when he was young and made a name for himself, but the mafia families never discovered that he was in a relationship with a woman from the east and had a child.


Genevieve said lightly, “Zephyr and I do not see eye to eye, even though we're siblings. I actually came to Lostaria to kill him.”

“Was that why you approached me?” Evangeline scoffed, knowing that Genevieve had an ulterior motive for getting close to her. “You have wasted your time. Osborn doesn't care about me, though I'm his fiancée. He was willing to teach me a lesson for a mere lover.”

“You don't want to marry him. You're only doing it for the Sheraton family.” Genevieve added, “Do you know that the Carlo family has a stash of gold?”

Evangeline's eyes narrowed. “I do. Only the former head of the Carlo family knows the location of the gold.”

Not only was the Carlo family coveting the enormous fortune, but even the Sheratons and the Leonardos were enticed by the promise of riches.

Nevertheless, no one dared go against Silas and the Carlo family.

Then, when Zephyr took over his father's position, he became even more vicious.

Genevieve said, “The Carlo family has a rule that only the person who knows the location of the gold can be the head of the family. However, Zephyr, the new kingpin, doesn't know...”

She paused and gave Evangeline a faint smile. “But I do.”

Evangeline pinned Genevieve with a clear gaze. “Didn't you say you begrudged Zephyr? How did you come to know such sensitive information?”

“My mom is connected to the information on the gold, and Zephyr entrusted me to investigate it,” Genevieve answered truthfully.

Evangeline frowned. “So why did you get close to me?”
