Chapter 587

Sofia replied impatiently, “What’s wrong? Don’t I look like it?”

The staff member replied, “If I may say, not really.”

Sofia muttered, “Alright, the world is a big place, full of all kinds of people. Let’s get this over with. I still need to get home to my sister. Stephanie just got back, and she wanted to spend more time with her.”

The staff member obviously didn’t believe her words. The moment Sofia mentioned “sister,” Richard’s face turned even darker with anger. He gave Sofia a fierce look.

The staff member tried to advise, “Hey, miss, I think you should calm down a bit. There’s a huge difference in strength between men and women. After marriage, fights change. You might not know, it’s hard for any department to deal with these things.”

This implied that Richard might have a tendency for domestic violence. Richard wasn’t stupid; he realized it and gave a fierce look at the staff member. “Do I look like the kind of uncouth person who would commit domestic abuse?”

The staff member said, “Excuse my bluntness, but yes, you do.”

“Hey, you—” Richard’s anger flared up immediately as he stood up with a commanding presence.

Seeing this, Cliff quickly stepped forward and said, “Mr. Casalini, the main thing is to focus on getting married first.”

The staff member’s face darkened upon seeing Richard’s demeanor. Noticing security approaching, the staff member threw down the pen in her hand and said, “Miss, tell me, are you being coerced into marriage? I can’t believe that if a woman doesn’t want it, a man could pressure her this much.”

Sofia was caught off guard.

“Just say it, and I promise you won’t be getting married today,” the staff member added.

Richard was speechless. Sofia looked at the staff member with admiration, amazed that there was someone who could resist Richard’s threats.

Richard was seething with anger. The staff member looked at Richard and said, “Don’t try to intimidate me. I’ve met plenty of men like you, abusive types who end up alone. You’re not fit for marriage.”

Richard fumed, “What did you say?”

“Stop talking; really, it’s a voluntary marriage. Please.” Cliff quickly handed over all of Richard’s documents to the staff member while giving Sofia meaningful glances.

No Giovanni was easy to deal with. Stephanie was tough, and Sofia was more so. Stephanie was raised this way by them.

The staff member didn’t reach for the documents, just looked at Richard. Sofia sighed and finally opened her bag to pull out her documents. “Please.”

However, just as she was handing over the documents, before the staff member could take them, someone from behind had snatched them.

Sofia turned around and met the intense gaze of a man. She didn’t recognize this stranger’s face.

Behind the man were two more men dressed in sleek suits, looking menacing. Sofia’s mind went blank; she didn’t know what was happening.

Richard narrowed his eyes and reached towards his waist, but Cliff quickly stepped forward to restrain Richard’s hand. “Mr. Casalini.”

This wasn’t the place to cause trouble. Cliff hadn’t yet figured out what was happening, but he was genuinely worried Richard might start something here. These years, Richard had been chased around the world by Sebastian, filled with anger. The three people were really bold, provoking a lion seething with frustration.

Sofia looked at the man holding her documents and asked, “Who are you?” As soon as she finished speaking, she instinctively reached out to get them back.

But the man smoothly twisted his wrist, avoiding Sofia’s attempt to retrieve them.

Sofia demanded, “Hey, who exactly are you?”

“Ms. Giovanni, you beat up our boss. I think you owe us an explanation,” the man said calmly, though each word carried a subtle threat.

Sofia was shocked.
