The Capo’s Daughter Needs No Permission Chapter 24
The education fund’s internal investigation lasted more than a month.
Three managing advisors verified the claim records and my signature, then sent their conclusions to the Ferraro Family boss’s council.
In the end, my mother admitted she had signed my name.
The five thousand dollars she had transferred to me was officially recorded as repayment.
On top of that, she was ordered to cover the costs of the investigation, sign a formal statement of responsibility, and permanently step down from managing any family education matters.
My father wasn’t expelled from the Ferraro Family.
But he lost the seat on the internal council that he had been next in line to receive.
The boss’s ruling was clear: if a capo treats protection and allocation rules as tools for his own household, he has no right to help allocate resources for anyone else.
Marco also turned in the training signet ring my father had given him.
That ring signified he was being groomed as the next local capo. Giving it back meant his succession was formally suspended.
He moved out of the house and stopped accompanying my father to internal meetings.
My mother no longer asked me to soften my stance.
She only sent one email:
*I understand now. If you take something that doesn’t belong to you, you have to bear the consequences.*
I moved the email to a separate folder.
That should have been the end of it.
But first, their private group chat imploded.
Marco sent me the final stretch of the conversation.
My father blamed my mother for turning her favoritism into a formal system of permission slips.
My mother asked him why, every time I got good grades, all he ever did was find fault.
Marco accused Ava of knowing I was in the hospital and still telling everyone I was faking it.
Ava listed, one by one, every single thing each of them had done.
*Yes, I wanted Romy to go to a local college with me, but Vincent was the first one to agree.*
*Yes, I wanted seafood, but all of you were the ones who left Romy at home.*
*Yes, I said her phone was annoying, but Marco was the one who actually blocked her.*
*You were all perfectly happy to put me first. Now that you’ve lost a council seat and a signet ring, suddenly it’s all my fault?*Â
