Chapter 1
After eight years in the Shadow Unit and the completion of a major secret mission, my boss finally allowed me to take a vacation.
Grandpa immediately took this opportunity to put the family alliance between me and the son of his old comrade-in-arms on the agenda.
The driver drove a special car to pick me up at the airport, but I just sat in the passenger seat and had no time to close the door.
A heavily made-up woman pulled me out of the car and yelled at me.
"I'm in a hurry! Give me this car, and go get another one!"
I was stunned for a moment, then I realized that this woman mistook the car that picked me up for an online-hailing car.
Looking at the woman sitting in the passenger seat with an arrogant look on her face while drawing her eyebrows and eyes, I spoke in a cold voice.
"Miss, this is not an online-hailing car, please get off right now!"
The woman rolled her eyes at me quickly and looked at me arrogantly.
"You're a country bumpkin from out of town, and you don't even ask who I am. Do you think you're qualified to rob me of my car?"
"I'm Mr. Rossi's secretary, Isabella Moretti. If you mess with him, your whole family will have to disappear from Kingsport City!"
I frowned slightly and sneered silently in my heart.
After not returning for several years, has the Rossi Family become so rampant in Kingsport City?
I stared in disbelief at Isabella, who was sitting in my passenger seat, continuing to paint her eyebrows and eyes with a smug look on her face.
"The Mr. Rossi you are talking about is Vincent Rossi?"
"Oh, I didn't expect a country bumpkin like you to have some vision. Apart from Vincent, who else dares to call himself Mr. Rossi!"
I frowned slightly and sneered silently in my heart.
After not returning for several years, has the Rossi Family become so rampant in Kingsport City?
Is this the family alliance partner that my grandfather told me about who made a name for himself in Kingsport City?
Seeing that Isabella had no intention of getting off the car, I lost my patience.
"I'll say this one last time, this isn't an online ride-hailing service. If you don't get off, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, oh my, you are so arrogant, how dare you be rude to me, come on, I want to see what you are going to do——"
Before Isabella could finish her arrogant and provocative words, I pulled her out of the passenger seat and threw her ten meters away.
With a loud bang, Isabella's head hit the pillar beside her, and blood immediately flowed from her forehead.
My heart skipped a beat and I felt a little guilty. I forgot that Isabella was just an ordinary person, and I neglected to control my strength for a moment.
Isabella's face turned pale with fright. She covered the blood on her forehead and looked at me in horror, unable to utter a word.
I looked at Isabella very apologetically and spoke to her sincerely.
"Sorry, I forgot to control my strength. Are you okay? Do you want me to take you to the hospital for bandaging?"
“Ah ...
I can understand that ordinary people like Isabella have never seen the bloody scenes that Shadow Unit members are used to facing.
Seeing how frightened she looked, she probably thought I was a psychopathic killer or a mentally ill person.
At this time, many people in the parking lot heard the noise and gathered around to watch the fun. When Isabella saw more people coming, she calmed down and looked at me hatefully.
"I was just in a hurry to meet Mr. Rossi, and I wanted you to give me the online ride-hailing car, but you, a pervert, threw me ten meters away and even broke my head! If Mr. Rossi knew about this, he would never forgive you!"
I shook my head speechlessly, looked at the whole crowd, then looked at Isabella, with the corner of my mouth slightly raised.
"Oh, really? I want to see how he can't let me off."
Chapter 2
My words instantly caused an uproar among everyone at the scene, and people started pointing at me.
"Who is this woman? She speaks so arrogantly. I'm afraid she really doesn't know who Mr. Rossi is!"
"Look at her tired look. She must have just come from somewhere. If she offends Mr. Rossi's secretary, she's doomed!"
"Yes, I heard that Isabella is Vincent's favorite. She is called a secretary, but in fact she is almost like a lover!"
From the words and expressions of the people at the scene, I finally understood why Isabella dared to be so arrogant.
It turns out that this is the little secretary that my family alliance partner whom I haven’t seen for many years has kept by my side. It’s my fault that I didn’t know the inside story.
By the way, the last time I met Vincent was when we were ten years old. He was still a gloomy and quiet little boy.
I was a few months younger than him and was a tomboy who jumped around and was active. I followed him around and teased him every day.
Until later, I was taken to a secret base by the top leaders of the Shadow Unit for training, and I never saw Vincent again.
I didn’t expect that when he returned to Kingsport City after so many years, he had become such a famous figure.
It’s just that the vision of my family alliance partner is really poor. Although Isabella is wearing famous brands, she exudes a worldly air. I don’t know from which trash can she picked up this treasure.
Seeing me looking at herself with a frown and no sign of fear on my face, Isabella became even angrier.
"You stinky bitch! I warn you, you'd better not act so arrogant in front of me. Mr. Rossi can make you disappear from Kingsport City with just a few words. If you don't believe me, just try it!"
"Oh? If you say that, Isabella is not afraid of the wind blowing her tongue away. When did it become the Rossi Family's turn to dominate Kingsport City?"
I revealed a bit of my deliberately concealed fierce aura, and Isabella's body trembled slightly, visibly.
She looked at me with disbelief, a hint of fear on her face, but immediately she regained her composure and remained strong.
"You... I don't care whether you believe it or not, Mr. Rossi will definitely stand up for me. If you are smart, just give the car to me. Maybe I can even say a few good words for you in front of Mr. Rossi..."
I never thought that I would travel around the world for many years, carrying out secret missions for countries and organizations.
I have seen many bloody and life-threatening situations, but this is the first time I have seen a little secretary be so arrogant.
"That's enough. I just happened to be going to the welcoming party that your Mr. Rossi prepared for me. Since you are going to meet him too, I don't mind giving you a ride."
Isabella was stunned at first, then she rolled her eyes and laughed arrogantly.
"Huh? Did I hear you right? You said Mr. Rossi prepared a welcoming party for you? You want to go to the party? Don't you check your reflection and see who you are?"
"To tell you the truth, I was in a hurry to go there because I wanted to attend the welcoming banquet. Mr. Rossi even told me that the protagonist this time was a mysterious adult, and he specifically told me not to be late, so I was in a hurry to go there!"
"You're a country bumpkin who just came from another place, and you were invited by Mr. Rossi? You dare to make up any nonsense!"
I didn't want to get tangled up with Isabella in public, so I just sneered and got back into the car.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Isabella ran after him and opened the back door.
"I'm going to be late, please give me a favor and drive!"
The driver drove steadily and quickly, arriving at the Crown Plaza Hotel VIP room arranged by Vincent in advance on time.
Chapter 3
As soon as I entered the private room, my eyes met with a tall, handsome man with a cold and stern look.
I recognized him immediately; it was Vincent.
I didn't expect that after not seeing him for more than ten years, the melancholy and quiet little boy back then has grown so tall, exuding the domineering and sharp aura of a superior.
But I have been working in the organization for so many years and have seen all kinds of scenes. I just nodded slightly at him.
Before it was my turn to speak, Isabella squeezed in from behind me and hung on Vincent in front of everyone.
"Wow, Mr. Rossi, look, it was this perverted psychopath who threw me out of the car. My forehead is broken and I look so ugly with the medical bandage on it!"
"She even said shamelessly that she would also come to attend the welcoming party you held for the big shot. I just happened to take her car here. You must vent your anger for me!"
Vincent frowned, pulled Isabella off his body and comforted her aside.
Unexpectedly, Isabella still refused to give in. She pointed her finger at my nose and shouted coldly with gritted teeth.
"You country bumpkin from out of town, didn't you say you were here to attend Mr. Rossi's welcoming party? Now you're exposed, right? Does anyone in this room recognize you?"
"Mr. Rossi is right here. If you know what's best for you, kneel down and apologize in front of him. Maybe Mr. Rossi will spare your life because he has to entertain important people today! Do you hear me? Kneel down now!"
I watched Isabella's performance quietly with a cold face and didn't move. Isabella became even more arrogant and roared loudly at everyone present.
"What are you guys standing there for? Mr. Rossi is a noble man, it's inconvenient for him to talk about such a small matter. You subordinates and bodyguards don't know who I am?!"
"Press this damn liar from outside the city to the ground. If I can't vent my anger today, none of you will have a good life in the future!"
After Isabella said this, I saw several subordinates and bodyguards following Vincent start to move.
A man who looked like an executive looked me up and down and then spoke.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you take advantage of the situation and come to the welcoming banquet that Vincent prepared for an important person to cause trouble, and even dare to provoke our Isabella? Do what Isabella says, or you will not be able to leave alive today!"
A bodyguard at the side also approached me aggressively.
"Did you hear me? Kneel down and beg for forgiveness, Isabella, or you will regret it!"
When all this happened, I didn't even look at these people's faces. I just kept looking at Vincent quietly.
I wanted to see what he wanted to do by being so indulgent with the dogs around him? Was he trying to dampen my prestige as a newcomer?
"So...Mr. Rossi, you're going to make me kneel down in front of your secretary too?"
There was a hint of amusement in my tone, and I just smiled at Vincent and spoke.
Vincent finally raised his eyebrows, gestured to Isabella and his subordinates beside him, and then he opened his mouth slightly and spoke.
"How dare you? Just call me Vincent. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, my subordinates. Please take a seat."
Isabella at the side was shocked and looked at me in disbelief. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.
But the next second, what Vincent said also made me drop my jaw.
"Alina, I don't want to hide it from you. In fact, it was not my idea to bring up the alliance between the two families. It was my grandfather's idea."
"Times have changed. I didn't like you when I was a child, and I still don't like you now. As you can see, I have Isabella, so I might as well tell you clearly before the elders of both sides arrive."
