Chapter 671

However, when Ella was sick and unconscious, her sense of safety was too strong, and she was almost completely unyielding. Lorenzo patiently coaxed her for more than ten minutes, but she didn’t loosen her grip on her clothes at all. Lorenzo reached his limit. He grabbed her waist with one hand and her clothes with the other. Then Ella’s clothes were torn apart. The servants outside heard the commotion and didn’t dare to enter.

Lorenzo quickly changed Ella’s clothes. During the whole process, Ella squirmed and whimpered in dissatisfaction. But because her eyelids were heavy from the illness, she wasn’t very conscious throughout the process.

Compared to the harmony between Stephanie and Sebastian, Lorenzo was going crazy taking care of Ella. He fed her medicine and changed her clothes. To do that, he had used all his tricks.

The most difficult one was Richard. After he found out that Sofia had taken people to look for Elena, he returned to the villa with a sullen face. Albert and Lancelot didn’t dare to leave, hiding at Richard’s place. They were afraid that Sofia would find out and retaliate. With Richard around, they might get beaten up less.

The thing was, they didn’t see what Sofia did to Dan. Even those playing cards with him got beaten up. They were doomed if Sofia found out they deleted the surveillance footage and tampered with the check-in information.

When Theodore saw Richard’s expression, he asked, “Are you okay? Why the long face?” Theodore thought he was seeing things. Otherwise, he wouldn’t see a trace of fear in Richard’s eyes. In his mind, Richard had always been fearless.

Richard glanced at Theodore and punched him. Theodore was dumbfounded. “Richard, what are you doing?”

“You scaredy-cat!” Richard thought about how Theodore had dragged him away, and his heart ached with anger.

Theodore, his face swelling, said, “What was that for?” He was terrified. Before Sofia could come after them, he got beaten up by Richard.

Richard gritted his teeth. “Sofia took people to deal with Elena.”

“What?” Theodore exclaimed.

Albert and Lancelot were shocked. They didn’t know what happened or why Sofia would go after Dan’s fiancée.

Theodore gasped, “What happened?” It was a bit overwhelming. He wondered if Sofia would really beat Elena up. Sofia had such a hot temper. It would be surprising if she could control her temper now.

Richard pinched the bridge of his aching nose. “She already knows the man last night wasn’t Dan.”

Theodore, Albert, and Lancelot were scared. They all turned pale after hearing Richard’s words. Things had been escalating rapidly since last night.

Theodore asked, “You mean, she suspected that Elena set her up?”

Richard hummed in agreement. “She’s quite certain.” Suspicion and certainty were two entirely different concepts.

Theodore was not doing well. First, Sofia thought it was Dan, and then Dan was beaten half to death. Now she was sure that Elena had set her up. There was no need to think about it; Elena would suffer.

Besides, given Sofia’s pace, it was only a matter of time before she found out it was them. Not to mention, she still had the…

“No way! I’m going back to Paginara right now,” Theodore could no longer remain calm. He didn’t want to spend another day in Fiorenza. In just half a day, Sofia seriously injured Dan, and now it was Elena’s turn.

There was no way to explain this now. She had beaten them all up. If Theodore managed to clear things up, that would only make things worse.

“Let’s get out of here too,” Albert and Lancelot said, their faces pale. Seeing Sofia’s demeanor, they didn’t think it was safe to be around Richard right now. It was better to find a place to hide.

Theodore’s phone buzzed. His news came later than Richard’s this time.

“Go ahead,” he said, answering the call.

“Sofia is causing trouble again. She took people to go after Mr. Murry’s fiancée.”

“I know,” Theodore said. Even without being there, he could sense how furious Sofia was. After all, from Sofia’s perspective, she was the victim who had been assaulted.

Theodore hung up the phone and looked at Richard. “Richard, are you coming with me?” They couldn’t stay in Fiorenza anymore. Someone might get killed.

“What did you say?” Richard asked, each word laced with gritted teeth. The anger from being dragged out of the hotel in the morning hadn’t subsided, and now he was even angrier that Theodore wanted him to go to Paginara.

Sensing Richard’s dangerous tone, Theodore felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead. “Fine, you stay. I’m leaving. I’m definitely leaving!” He didn’t dare stay a moment longer.

Richard narrowed his eyes at Theodore.
