Chapter 180
Illeana was so terrified she could barely form a coherent sentence, but even then, her first instinct was to
threaten Alessia.
“You can tryif you want,” Alessia replied, her gaze cold and indifferent.
“Go ahead-run to the Tates tonight and tell them all about this, embellish it however you like. If you want to go
after the Morton family, be my guest-let’s see if you're actually capable of it. Just remember, all of that depends
on whether you can handle the consequences of pissingoff.”
Her voice didn’t waver. It wasn’t harsh or low, just matter-of-fact, as if she were reciting an unchangeable truth.
“Tonight was just a warning. If | catch you pulling this kind of stunt again, it won't end with just a little scare. Do
you understand?“.
As soon as the words left her lips, there was a sharp crack. Before Ileana could process what was happening,
Alessia had already set her arm back in place.
The lingering pain numbed lleana’s nerves, but that precise control-being able to toy with her agony-instilled a
bone-deep fear.
Alessia leaned in, her presence so overwhelming that Ileana instinctively tried to shrink away, only to realize
there was nowhere left to go.

your part as the pampered princess and quit trying to make trouble for me. Because if you keep this up, |
promise you-if | could get in once, I'll get in again. And the next time, it won't stop at just this.”
To lleana, Alessia’s words sounded like the devil's whisper, sending tremors through her entire body. She tried to
speak, but no words cout. Her arm remained frozen, as the pain only seemed to grow stronger.
Yet, in reality, there wasn’t a single mark on her. If she tried to accuse Alessia of anything, there'd be no
evidence.
That was Alessia for you. No matter how reckless she seemed, she never left herself exposed.
Once her lesson was delivered and her warning made clear, Alessia left Ileana’s room with Stella. Butler Dawson
was waiting quietly at the top of the stairs, offering nothing but a polite bow.

“Mr. York is still in his room. I'm not sure what happened,” Dawson murmured, his tone neutral-the mark of a
man who knew how to keep his job.
“Keep an eye on her,” Alessia instructed, nodding toward lleana’s door. At that moment, lleana’s furious screams
echoed behind them as she ordered the staff to
fetch her a doctor.
“Yes, ma'am!”
As soon as they started down the stairs, a small, excited voice called out from behind them, accompanied by the
joyful bark of a dog.
“Alessia! You're back!”
Stella shot Alessia a look, one brow raised as if to say, “Well, we're busted-the Tate family’s little prince just
caught us.”
Alessia sighed and gestured at Stella, who winked and slipped outside to bring around her motorcycle.

“Get back to bed. Don’t you know kids who stay up late don’t grow tall?” Alessia chided, exasperated.

“Fine, take them!” he huffed, shoving all three snakes into her hand with a pout.
