In appreciation of Donald's assistance, the restaurant owner, Carlo, graciously waived the bill for their meal.
While Testa Nera might rule with an iron fist in Iugrea, even the mafia had its own code of conduct. One of them was only seeking revenge on the person who committed the transgression.
Thus, Carlos wasn't worried about Cassimo coming back for revenge on the restaurant. Because if he did, it would be equivalent to breaking the rules of the entire underworld. Then, not only would Nero Manto pick trouble with him, but even his own people from Testa Nera would have a bone to pick with him.
After the delightful dinner, Lina went to the underground parking garage and retrieved her car.
Upon seeing that the car she drove was only worth around a hundred thousand, Geraldine asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you can represent the Havenzo family in extending us an invitation?"
It was not that Geraldine was snobbish, but Lina's appearances inevitably made her doubtful.
It was no different from someone driving a Jetta inviting one to a billionaire's house for a visit.
That would be nothing more than a joke.
Hearing Geraldine's question, Lina replied rather sheepishly, "Although my status and benefits may not be the best, Ms. Harper, I am indeed a member of the Havenzo family. In terms of blood relations, I am Letizia's distant cousin."
While saying that, she showed them a golden badge.
The emblem on the badge was indeed the crest of the Havenzo family.
For such a family, bloodline always took precedence.
Blood ties varied in closeness, so no matter how capable Lina was, she could only do insignificant work within the family business.
She wouldn't starve nor have to worry about basic necessities.
But if she were hoping to lead an excessively lavish life, that would simply be impossible.
