Marry a Mafia – Episode 23 (Readable Story Version)
The grand banquet for the infamous arms tycoon Mr. Ivanov was supposed to prove Serena’s worth inside the ruthless Kensington empire.
Instead, it turned into attempted murder.
Just seconds after taking his first bite, Ivanov suddenly collapsed — choking, gasping, and turning pale in front of the entire ballroom. Panic exploded across the estate as security locked the room down.
And all fingers pointed at Serena.
She had touched the final plate.
Worse… she somehow had the antidote ready.
Alice immediately accused Serena of staging the entire poisoning herself — claiming she poisoned Ivanov only so she could swoop in as the “hero” and earn the family’s trust.
For one terrifying moment, even the room hesitated.
But Serena refused to break.
Instead of panicking, she calmly exposed the flaw in Alice’s story.
Earlier that night, Serena had personally enforced strict kitchen rules: every Porchini mushroom served at the banquet had to be marked with a signature cross-cut for flavor infusion.
But the poisoned mushroom?
No cut.
No kitchen mark.
Meaning the deadly plate had been swapped after preparation.
And there was only one person close enough to the plating station during the chaos.
Alice.
The entire ballroom went silent.
Desperate, Alice tried denying everything — until Serena revealed the final blow:
The ballroom security cameras had recorded the entire incident.
The moment the footage was mentioned, Alice completely collapsed. Tears streaming down her face, she finally confessed. Jealousy had driven her too far, and what started as sabotage nearly became murder.
But while Alice begged for forgiveness…
One terrifying question still remained:
Who was she really trying to kill?
