Chapter 684

Hearing this, Sebastian gave a deep, unreadable smile. He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and looked at Richard. “You should say this to Sofia.”

Richard thought of Sofia, who had run off with Luca. She even hung up on his call directly and turned off her phone. She must have run out of battery.

Sebastian took a sip of coffee and asked, “Why did you run?” Even though Sebastian was always calm and collected, he couldn’t help but smile when he mentioned the word “run.”

Richard’s face turned red when he heard Sebastian ask that. “I didn’t run,” he said.

Speaking of running, he wanted to go back and kill Theodore. Richard thought, ‘He’s such a jerk. Am I a coward who needs to be pulled along by him like that?’

However, Theodore did know Sofia to some extent. As expected, after she woke up, a lot of things happened in Fiorenza. Dan fainted again in the hospital, and Elena even got shot.

Sebastian raised his eyebrows. “You didn’t run? Then how did things get to this point?”

Richard was speechless. Things developed quickly. Yesterday, the whole situation was out of control. Ofia first beat Dan into the hospital, and then shot Elena.

Richard looked at Sebastian with an unpleasant expression. “You knew it yesterday, didn’t you?” Richard thought, “That must be why he said those things to me at the door.”

Sebastian put down his coffee cup with a smile and said nothing.

“You did it on purpose, didn’t you?” Richard asked.

Sebastian probably knew everything the moment Sofia wanted to settle the score. However, he didn’t say anything.

Sebastian crossed his fingers. “People need to be responsible for their actions.”

Since Sofia had the ability to get it back, Sebastian, as her brother, didn’t need to intervene. It didn’t matter how Sofia got it back and whether it seemed reasonable. Some people in this world were not worth reasoning with. Sofia’s way, in Sebastian’s opinion, was just right.

Richard’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the word “responsible.”

Sebastian looked at him again. “Speaking of which, why did you run away? Were you afraid Sofia would kill you?”

Richard insisted, “I really didn’t run away.” He felt ashamed because of the question. He thought, “Theodore really embarrassed me this time.”

Sebastian raised an eyebrow.

Richard couldn’t stand his gaze. “It was Theodore. He dragged me away.” The more he spoke, the angrier he became.

When he woke up yesterday morning and saw Sofia, Richard was completely dumbfounded. He had never thought of being with Sofia. He never thought of Sofia as a woman. Yet, without any intention, they ended up in bed together. He thought, ‘A woman who’s been like a buddy to me since childhood slept with me. I’m shocked.’

Seeing that Sebastian was still silent, Richard became even more annoyed. “Albert and Lott were also there at the time.”

Sebastian finally understood a little. He knew that Theodore alone couldn’t have taken Richard away!

“So all three of them were involved,” Sebastian said.

“Involved in what?” Richard asked.

Sebastian said, “They were the ones who tampered with the hotel surveillance and check-in information.”

Yesterday, when he realized it was Richard, Sebastian kept thinking, ‘Richard isn’t a coward, so how could he do such a thing? But as for Theodore, it is understandable. As a member of the Casalini family, he doesn’t have a single shred of their spirit.’

Richard remained silent.

Sebastian continued, “If Sofia ever finds out about this, they’d all be dead.” He thought, ‘It is hard to say just how bad it will be.’

Richard was speechless.

Sebastian added, “Including you.”

Richard’s face darkened.

Sebastian said, “So I suggest you don’t admit it in front of her for the time being.” Sebastian couldn’t help but laugh, especially when he saw Richard being troubled by this.

Richard was getting furious. “What do you take me for?”

Richard was angry, especially when he saw the smile on Sebastian’s face. He felt that there was nothing to talk about with Sebastian, and he would be pissed off if he continued.

Dan at the hospital was having a rough time too. He was so angry that he almost went crazy.

Samuel told him, “Ms. Giovanni was too agitated yesterday and hurt Ms. Rossi’s leg. You were too harsh on Ms. Rossi yesterday.”

Thinking of the loneliness on Elena’s face when she left the ward, Samuel couldn’t help but mention it. No one around Dan thought highly of Sofia. They felt that she didn’t look like a woman at all. If she were with Dan, she wouldn’t do him any good with her personality. They thought Ms. Rossi was much better, and her family fully supported Dan’s position in the Dark Portal.

Speaking of Sofia and Elena, Dan almost fainted from anger. “Get out,” he said, his voice gloomy.

Samuel didn’t dare to say anything. He nodded and went out.

When only Dan was left, he took out his phone and dialed Sofia. This time, the call went through, and her voice, mixed with the sound of the wind, came, “Hello.”

“Where are you?” Dan asked through gritted teeth. He thought, ‘Where does this damn woman go? She beat me up. Shouldn’t she at least take responsibility?’

“None of your business,” Sofia said.

“Did you cripple Richard?” Dan asked angrily.

If Richard wasn’t crippled by Sofia, Dan would feel extremely unbalanced. He thought, ‘Why was I, who did nothing, the one getting beaten up?’ ‘Once I’m discharged, I will definitely come after Richard. I hope Sofia has given Richard a good beating. When I go to find Richard, that bastard wouldn’t even be able to fight back.’

“Why would I hit him?” Sofia asked.

“He slept with you, and you didn’t hit him?” Hearing Sofia’s question, Dan gritted his teeth in anger.

“Dan, are you insane? You’re still talking nonsense. Did I not hit you hard enough? Are you even a man?” Sofia asked.

Dan said, “You don’t believe me.” He gritted his teeth, his breath ragged with anger.

Sofia retorted, “Believe you? Wait until I get back, you jerk.”

Before Dan could say anything, Sofia hung up.

The dial tone rang in his ear, fueling Dan’s anger. His heart pounded in his chest, his breath ragged.

“That damned woman. Does Richard drug her or something?” Dan said. He thought, ‘Why does Sofia trust Richard so blindly? Just because they are legally married now?’ The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. And then he fainted again.
