Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 321: Alessio Colombo

From Hughes’ mouth, Selena Kensington learned about an ancient and vast family.

Maintaining their position through violent suppression.

But as they entered a new era, the Colombo Family gradually retreated into the shadows.

They had strict regulations.

Operating in the gray areas to solidify their status.

"The heir to the Colombo Family?"

For some reason, hearing these words, Selena felt her heart skip a beat.

As if something had slipped by her.

Hughes nodded.

"I’ve never seen the heir either. I heard that he never appeared in the Colombo Family before, but once he did, the current Patriarch immediately appointed him as the next heir."

"Those within the family who were dissatisfied were suppressed by his iron-handed methods. His mother is the daughter of the current Patriarch Colombo, Anna Colombo."

"Ah right, the heir’s name is Alessio Colombo."

Selena raised an eyebrow slightly, "A grandson becoming the heir?"

Hughes shrugged, "Yes, the old Colombo only had one daughter. It was supposed to be her inheritance, but then Alessio appeared."

Selena nodded, half-understanding.

After asking all this, she leaned against Sterling Norwood’s shoulder, letting out a slight yawn.

"Tired?"

Sterling Norwood lowered his head to ask her.

Selena shook her head, "No, I just want to lean on you."

Sterling Norwood said nothing, but the smile at the corner of his mouth revealed his good mood.

"..."

Understanding their conversation, Hughes felt like he was force-fed dog food.

Hughes looked at his cousin, his eyes slightly darkening, "Cousin, this auction doesn’t seem so simple."

Sterling Norwood looked at him, raising his chin slightly, indicating for him to continue.

"I got news that a descendant of the Gailo Family, who were once enemies of the Colombo Family, wants to take this opportunity to reclaim the territory that belonged to them, Gailo Island."

"That island is one of the items up for auction today."

Sterling Norwood raised an eyebrow slightly, "Is he trying to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Sterling was referring to Alessio Colombo.

The Colombo and Norwood Families are both families that have endured for hundreds of years.

Unlike the Norwood Family, which maintains the connection between the direct and branch members through bloodlines,

the Colombo Family relies on the competitive rule of survival of the fittest, where the strongest becomes the next head of the family.

The foundation of the Norwood Family lies in The Empire, while Colombo’s is overseas.

The two families usually don’t interfere with each other, and they even maintain a slight cooperation.

Hughes nodded, "It could be like that, but unfortunately, that descendant of the Gailo Family is too foolish, even coming here despite everything."

After speaking, he looked at Selena, "Don’t worry, sister-in-law, there are items suitable for girls at today’s auction. I’ll get you one as a gift for our first meeting."

"Also, you don’t have to worry about being in danger, the Santa Maria is after all still the territory of the Colombo Family."

Selena smiled, wanting to say that she actually didn’t need those things and wasn’t afraid.

At most, she was just curious.

Before she could say anything, Sterling Norwood interrupted.

He glanced at Hughes, "My wife needs you to pay for her things?"

"..."

Hughes was speechless; he already said it was meant as a meeting gift! A meeting gift! A meeting gift!

His cousin was even jealous of that.

Hughes gave Selena a helpless look.

Selena chuckled softly.

*

The port of Isle of Cyrin.

As soon as Selena got out of the car, she saw the Santa Maria docked by the shore.

The Santa Maria loomed like a small mountain, sitting at the port.
