Dante kissed her on the cheek, his tone dripping with mockery. "Relax. That woman is dumb as a rock. Easiest mark I've ever seen. I asked for three hundred grand, and she wired five hundred thousand, practically falling over herself to thank us for taking it. I've never met anyone so pathetic. Flash her a little warmth and she'd crawl on her knees to hand over every last dollar to me and the kid."
Serafina threw her head back, laughing so hard she shook. "See? I told you. Swapping out her little brat was the smartest thing we ever did. My only regret is that I didn't floor the gas hard enough to send her straight to the morgue."
"It's not too late. Next week is Carina's birthday. Once she signs the operational transfer papers over, I'll play the video of her 'cheating' in front of everyone, force the renunciation, and push her out with nothing. Everything the Montecarlo Family owns will be ours."
After the laughter died down, Carina covered her eyes with her little hands in an exaggerated performance. "Daddy and Mommy are kissing! Carina can't see anything!"
The two of them leaned over the child and kissed like they couldn't bear to part.
