Chapter 551

Richard turned around and saw Sofia standing at the door, looking like she had appeared out of nowhere. He stammered, “W-What are you trying to say?” He felt totally confused. “What do you mean by that? What do you want to do?”

Sofia walked in, arms crossed, shooting him a sharp look. “I want to marry you. That way, you won’t be able to think about anyone else. Stefi will never want a divorced man, and I’m making sure you have no shot with her.”

Richard froze. His mind went blank. His eyes widened, still trying to process what he had just heard. ‘Did Sofia really just say that? She’s going to make sure I lose any chance with Stephanie?’ he thought.

“So, you’re using your happiness to block me from having a chance?” he asked.

Sofia, still standing with her arms crossed, shrugged casually. “Yeah, what’s the problem with that?”

Richard’s chest heaved. “This is crazy. Where the heck did this insane woman come from?”

“What about Dan? He wouldn’t want a divorced woman, either,” Richard said, his temper flaring. He couldn’t resist bringing up Dan, the man who had been in Sofia’s life for so long.

At that moment, Richard was completely stunned. He had come here to confront Sofia about stealing his documents and giving them to Dan, but now he felt like he was stuck in a conversation he couldn’t escape.

Sofia didn’t seem bothered. “Dan’s about to marry someone else. Whatever, we can both try for a second marriage.”

Richard stood up, fuming. “Who wants to go look for a second marriage with you? Stop messing with me.”

“I’m telling you now. I’m never going to like you,” Richard added furiously, his anger escalating.

Sofia raised an eyebrow. “We could get the marriage license tomorrow and get divorced the next day. Who cares if you like me? Or we could just stay married with no love at all. It doesn’t matter.”

‘So she wants me to be a divorced guy? She’s saying that once I marry, I’ll be completely out of the running for Stephanie?’ he thought.

The back-and-forth had completely thrown Sebastian off. He looked at Sofia, who was deep in thought. The situation was spiraling out of control.

Sofia spoke up again, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “You shameless jerk. Stefi is pregnant now, carrying my brother’s child, and you’re still trying to get in the way? What the hell is wrong with you?”

“You really think Stefi would want to marry you? She wouldn’t even look at you, and you’re still clinging to her like a loser,” she snapped, her anger finally boiling over.

Richard had always known that the Giovanni family members could talk a big game, especially someone like Stephanie who looked soft on the outside. But after all the training from the family, her words were anything but harmless.

Over the past few days, Sofia had been picking fights with him, but her words hadn’t been as biting. Now, she was going all in, and Richard felt like she was a firecracker ready to explode.

“You still haven’t had enough, huh?” Richard shouted. “Sofia, I’m telling you. Stop twisting things and give me my stuff back!”

‘You think I’ll forget why I came here just because you’re making a scene? If that’s the plan, she’s really messed up,’ he thought.

Mentioning the “stuff” only made Sofia angrier. Even though she couldn’t explain herself fully, she knew she hadn’t taken anything.

“What stuff? I didn’t take anything,” she said. She knew there was no point trying to explain it to Richard anymore.

Seeing her refuse to explain, Richard’s temper flared up again. “You just came from Dan’s place, and then you went after me? I thought you tried to get back at me because of Stephanie. But you were just pretending, weren’t you? Now the stuff’s with Dan, and you’re saying you didn’t take it?” he asked.

“How is he still twisting this around? The situation’s already a mess, and somehow, he’s still targeting me,” Sofia thought, wishing she could just pass out and avoid dealing with it. ‘Looks like I need to get serious with Richard now!’
