City’s Best Divine Doctor Chapter 1820 - 1780: Family Concerns

As Ye Qiu and Helena were still chatting, there was a knock at the door.

Ye Qiu released Helena’s waist, and when he went to open the door, it was the young maid Sophia.

"Dr. Ye, Miss, breakfast is ready."

Ye Qiu and Helena followed Sophia over, still at the room in the underground chamber, where the environnt and ventilation were very good.

But how could he let his woman live in the underground chamber like a mouse?

Besides the young maid Sophia, there was another slightly plump nanny who brought Italian coffee, pizza, pasta, and bread, as well as wine from the estate, to Ye Qiu and Helena respectively.

Overall, breakfast was still quite rich, similar to the French breakfast.

Of course, it was also a breakfast with a strong Sicilian style here.

Ye Qiu and Helena tasted the breakfast without speaking. So days ago, Helena had no appetite, but now since Ye Qiu ca, her appetite seed to have improved, and she ate more, which reassured both the nanny and Sophia quite a bit.

"Qiu, how’s the coffee?"

"It’s alright."

Italian coffee was also good, although most coffee might co from Africa. However, in Ye Qiu’s opinion, there’s not much distinction in flavor, all rich and fragrant.

After the two had their fill, it was already 9:40 AM, Ro ti. Ye Qiu and Helena went to another room. Ye Qiu needed to find out exactly what’s going on here before he could make his next move.

These materials were supposed to be prepared in advance before he ca, which could save a lot of ti.

Now, besides Ye Qiu and Helena, Dante and Enzo were also present.

"Helena, may I ask why the family is forcing you to marry the heir of another family?"

Speaking of the Mafia family, one certainly needs to understand the Mafia’s organizational structure and the family structure.

There are nearly one hundred and fifty families within the Mafia, and the number might increase yearly, or so families might get replaced, with dozens being significant families.

Each family has a boss, legal advisor, counselor, as well as an underboss, commander, and soldiers; this is the structure of Italian families.

There are also non-Italian organizational structures, which are the partners.

According to Helena, each family is fundantally controlled by a "Boss (or Don)," which translates to "Duke" or "Your Grace" in Spanish, with a firewall of trusted aides between the boss and the family’s actions.

The boss can appoint the family advisor. So, according to Helena, the closest and most trusted family mber to the boss is called the Consigliere (Italian for "legal advisor").

In fact, the Consigliere acts like a "Hearing Officer," responsible for diating family disputes, and may also act as the "underboss’s" protector, primarily tasked with ’legalizing’ all family actions.

The underboss, typically a relative appointed by the boss, is considered the "Supre Commander" of all troop commanders and only takes orders from the boss. If the boss is imprisoned or hospitalized, they must act as the boss’s proxy (the acting boss).

Helena’s father, Mattio, was previously the boss of the Mattio Family; as for the legal advisor and underboss, they were trusted mbers of the family. Later, when Mattio inherited the position of Godfather, the boss position was supposed to be given to other family mbers, including Mattio’s son or trusted aides.

However, Mattio entrusted it to Helena.

So, Helena beca the boss of this family.

In terms of family structure power, her status should be the highest in the family, but because Helena wasn’t interested, especially after returning from Paris, she focused her ti and energy on business, like managing her Helena Fashion Brand Company.

This led to a growing distance between her and the soldiers among the family mbers, even her father’s forr trusted aides. Their internal power was gradually taken over by the underboss and legal advisor.

Furthermore, with Mattio’s unstable status in the Mafia, family mbers slowly stopped respecting Helena, making her position more awkward than before.

This mainly stems from Helena’s gentle approach; perhaps she’s not suited for this position at all, as she can’t handle bloody matters or desires to be involved in illegal activities.

Unexpectedly, it has co to this point now.

"Helena, are you saying the family’s underboss Amore is colluding with the Sirio Family’s boss?"

"Yes, Amore was originally my father’s trusted aide. When my father was the family boss, Amore was always the underboss, essentially handling every major and minor family affair. When my father succeeded to the Godfather position, Amore aid to transform the Mattio Family into the Amore Family."

"What about the Sirio Family?"

"It’s a prominent Mafia family on Sicily, with one family mber being a representative of the Committee. The Sirio Family’s boss’s son, Master Sirio, always admired Miss and had previously wanted to propose marriage to the Godfather."

Originally, arranged marriages among these big families were very normal.

After all, the Mafia certainly is a massive family. Though most are of Italian descent, there aren’t many instances of blood relation.

"Helena, do you not like him?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

"As if I’d like him."

Sophia, at the side, comnted, "Actually, Master Sirio is quite handso, a top student at several prestigious universities in Europe, with both high emotional and intellectual intelligence, having the potential to reach the Godfather position in the future."

Truly, no matter the industry, it demands intellect. Relaying solely on brute force, you wouldn’t know how you’d eventually et your end. Master Sirio is so intelligent, backed by his family’s support, and he’s independently developed the Sirio Family into a distinguished family.

You could say he is the future head of the family, and also possibly the next Mafia Godfather.

However, his flaw is impatience, or restlessness; now, in his thirties, he has long desired to marry Helena.

Besides admiring Helena’s beauty, her father’s Godfather status ant marrying Helena offered significant benefits to him.

In this aspect, Ye Qiu just needed to think simply to understand how things were.

He hadn’t expected that such matters could possibly happen dostically, when looking at the Italian Mafia here, it still seems not that different from the dostic scene or even ancient tis.
