Mr. Villain's Lovely Wife (Izzy) novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206 

Chapter 206 

Frederik looked at Gregory. The old man’s jaw was locked, yet he said nothing, but the vein on his temple had begun to show. 

Maria returned to her seat. She rested her hands on the desk. “So, before you waste the court’s time and embarrass yourselves further, I suggest you withdraw your little petition” 

David Holt opened his mouth, but Maria cut him off. 

“The document is notarized, registered, and filed. Every line is airtight. And if you try to contest it, I will personally make sure every past transaction you’ve all tried to bury gets pulled into discovery” 

Frederik looked at the second file he brought. He didn’t touch it. 

Meanwhile, Amalia was still staring at the paper in her hands. 

Maria’s voice remained steady. “You wanted a legal war. I suggest you bring a better army 

“Grandfather, this-” 

“I was not made aware of that document,” Gregory said, just as the car started moving. After seeing that document, they were left with no choice but to leave. Obviously, that woman Amalia still tried to fight it, but Gregory knew it would be useless. 

“Then what about what woman?” Frederik asked. His grandfather actually helped Amalia get out of prison. 

“Let her be,” Gregory said, adjusting the cuff of his sleeve as the car moved through the downtown traffic. “The deal was simple. We get her out. She files for control. In exchange, she gets to crawl out of that cell and play family.” 

Frederik didn’t reply. 

Gregory leaned back against the seat. “I underestimated Maria Alcaraz. I thought she was just one of Rossi’s many lawyers. Turns out she’s more of a wall than a door.” 

Frederik tapped his fingers on his thigh, processing. “Do you want me to contact her again?” 

“No. Not her.” Gregory pulled out his phone. “Call Amalia’s lawyer. Tell him to advise her. If the court’s off the table, maybe she can make it a public matter.” 

Frederik raised an eyebrow. “Media?” 

“She’s shallow and dumb enough to know how to turn sympathy into leverage,” Gregory said. “She’ll do whatever it takes if the headline looks expensive enough.” 

Frederik gave a short nod. “Alright. I’ll take care of it.” 

The car turned onto the bridge. For a moment, neither of them said anything. 

Frederik glanced out the window, then spoke again. “I still haven’t found who orchestrated the accident.” 

Gregory didn’t respond at first. His eyes followed the skyline in silence. Then, his jaw clenched. “Keep digging.” 

Frederik’s grip tightened. “It was clean. Too clean. No digital footprint, no traceable tail, and nothing in the logistics report. The driver’s records were wiped just two weeks before the crash.” 

“Then we missed something.”

“I don’t like it,” Frederik muttered. “It wasn’t us. But whoever did it had a reason. And money. It was surgical” 

Gregory turned his head slightly, but he didn’t speak. His silence was enough. 

Frederik leaned back, brows furrowed. He had spent days reviewing every possible connection, every possible motive. Still, nothing led to the truth. 

He wanted Izzy’s shares. He wanted control. But he hadn’t wanted her dead. 

Whoever moved first had done it perfectly. 

And that unsettled him more than he was willing to admit. He didn’t even know who the enemy wast 

Gregory didn’t speak again until they were halfway across the bridge. 

“When you don’t know who the enemy is,” he said finally, “you watch everyone.” 

Frederik nodded slightly, eyes still on the road ahead. “Even our own?” 

Gregory didn’t answer. That, in itself, was the answer. 

The car pulled up to the private lot behind the Vasili building. Frederik followed his grandfather inside, both men quiet as they entered through the executive elevator. 

Once the doors closed, Frederik checked his watch. 

“I have a call with Vasili Energy in twenty minutes. They’re asking questions too. They want to know if Izzy will be removed from the South Asia expansion committee.” 

“Tell them she’s stable and recovering,” Gregory said. “We don’t make her irrelevant until we absolutely have to.” 

“And the shares?” 

Gregory turned to him. “You still want them?” 

Frederik didn’t hesitate. “Yes.” 

“Then stop hoping for the board to fix it for you. The girl may have disappeared, but she didn’t die. Until there’s a body or a death certificate, that name still holds.” 

Frederik nodded once. “Understood.” 

The elevator dinged. They stepped out into the quiet, glass–walled top floor of the tower. 

Gregory paused by his office door. “We’ll let Amalia make noise. She’ll go to the media, and drag her niece’s name in if she has to. Rossi’s name will be pulled through the dirt.” 

Frederik didn’t flinch. “And what if Maria retaliates?” 

“She will,” Gregory said. “But once the story is public, we’re not playing chess anymore. We’re playing poker. And all she has is a lawyer’s mouth.” 

Frederik watched as his grandfather entered his office. 

Still, his thoughts stayed on the accident. He couldn’t let it go. The way the reports had been sanitized. The camera footage just happened to cut out. The driver had cancer and no next of kin. A man who should never have been behind a wheel that day. 

It was too perfect.

Someone planned that hit. 

And they weren’t finished. 

Obviously, Frederik didn’t like that.
