Chapter 666

The people who had been playing cards with Dan were pale as ghosts. They thought, “What the hell? Who will dare to answer that? Whatever Dan says will be wrong. She’s making it impossible for him to live!” In their eyes, Dan was utterly pathetic.

With a thud, Sofia threw Dan mercilessly to the ground. Dan was already injured, and now, after being beaten by her, he was barely alive. Sofia’s anger subsided a bit. She stood up and glared coldly at Dan, who was sprawled on the ground. “You played with my feelings and dared to sleep with me? Remember this, I’ll beat you up every time I see you.”

The other three people were speechless. They were scared by Sofia’s aura. Sofia glanced at Dan with disgust. She turned around and spat out two words to the bodyguards, “Let’s go.” Her anger had mostly subsided, and she wasn’t going to actually beat him to death. It would be too easy on him.

However, just as Sofia turned around, she felt a force on her ankle. It was Dan, grabbing hold of her. Sofia scoffed, “What now?”

Dan said, “I didn’t sleep with you.” Sofia paused, speechless. The other three people and the bodyguards were also speechless. For a moment, the air stood still. Then, danger filled the entire room. Sofia kicked Dan in the chest.

The room, which had just calmed down, was once again in an uproar. This time, it was Sofia alone who was beating up Dan. The other three were so scared that they huddled in a corner. They had just been beaten up so badly that they couldn’t even catch their breath. They didn’t dare to intervene. Instead, they tried their best to reduce their presence in hopes of survival.

Twenty minutes later, Sofia’s anger subsided. She left with her bodyguards. For a long time, the three men who had been playing cards with Dan didn’t dare to move. They didn’t move until they were sure that Sofia was really gone.

Andy went up to Dan and pulled him up. “Tell me, did you really sleep with Sofia?” If Andy had known that Dan had done such a thing to Sofia last night, he would never have hung out with him today. They were just having a casual get-together to play cards, and they ended up getting beaten up.

The word “sleep” brought Dan back to his senses. He finally realized why he had been beaten up. Before he could speak, Ethan clutched his stomach and walked over to him. “You slept with her, so be it. Why deny it after being beaten up? Won’t that make her even angrier?”

At that moment, the others didn’t realize that Dan might not have actually slept with Sofia. They just thought that he was too afraid to admit it after being beaten up by her. Ethan’s words made the other two look at Dan. They didn’t say anything, but they thought he was a bit of a disgrace.

Dan was annoyed by their looks. He gritted his teeth and said, “I really didn’t do it.” Liam was beaten the worst because he didn’t know how to fight. His face was pale as he said, “Whether you did it or not, you can go and explain it to Sofia yourself. Call an ambulance.”

He really couldn’t take it anymore. He felt like he couldn’t breathe. He didn’t understand why Dan would mess with Sofia. They all saw how she dealt with anyone who had even the slightest connection with Stephanie’s disappearance. Today was his unlucky day.

Dan’s face darkened even more when he heard Liam’s words. “You don’t believe me?” Andy said, “You shouldn’t have treated Sofia like that before you cleared up the misunderstanding with her.” Ethan also nodded. “Don’t worry, we don’t look down on you. After all, it’s important to stay alive.”

In that situation just now, let alone Dan, no one would dare to admit it. It was a matter of life and death. Dan breathed rapidly, “I really didn’t do it.” The other three were speechless. They thought it didn’t matter anymore. Sofia took swift revenge.

However, the video of her revenge somehow ended up in Theodore’s hands. At that moment, in Richard’s villa, Theodore handed his phone to Richard. “Richard, take a look at this,” Theodore’s face turned pale as he finished watching the video. Richard gave Theodore an icy glare and took the phone.

As soon as he turned it on, he saw chaos unfold in the surveillance footage. The table and door in the private room were overturned. Over twenty people were brutally beating up a few others in the small room. Sofia was among them. Those people were being beaten black and blue. She slapped Dan so hard that he couldn’t even retaliate.

Even through the screen, Richard could feel the sheer force behind her blows. It wasn’t just Dan. Everyone who was with him got a beating. Theodore listened to the commotion in the surveillance footage and said with a shudder, “Phew, good thing we got out of there.”

Albert and Lancelot didn’t watch the video, but they heard the commotion and Theodore’s words. They figured they had guessed right. Based on Sofia’s personality, she wouldn’t let anyone involved off the hook. Look at the chaos in the video. Everyone there must have been beaten half to death.

Theodore was confused. “How could she mistake you for Dan?” Richard was speechless. “She was so ruthless to someone she once loved so deeply. If it were you, you’d probably be devastated,” Theodore said, still shaken. He meant that Dan was someone Sofia used to love, yet she beat him so mercilessly. If it had been Richard, she would have probably shot him dead.

Something must have upset Richard. He tossed the phone onto the coffee table with a frown, clearly angry. Theodore curled his lip as his phone buzzed. He quickly answered, “Speak.”

“Mr. Casalini, Dan and the people who played cards with him have all been sent to the ER.” Theodore thought, ‘What? Although I saw how ruthless Sofia was in the video, they’re in the ER now. Does this mean they’ll be transferred to the ICU after they come out?’ He swallowed hard, wondering how angry Sofia was.

Theodore tried to remain calm. “Keep an eye on Sofia and make sure she doesn’t find out.” “Yes, sir.” Theodore hung up the phone and turned to Richard. “Sofia just sent Dan to the ICU.” Lancelot and Albert were speechless. If they hadn’t run fast enough, they would be the ones in the ICU right now.

“They’re all inside the ICU?” Lancelot asked. Theodore nodded. “Yeah.” Albert and Lancelot fell silent. The fact that Sofia had put those people in the ICU showed just how furious she was. They felt sorry for Dan, who had done nothing wrong this time. He was being falsely accused.

Richard’s face was unreadable. He took out his phone and was about to call Sofia.
