Chapter 649

Sofia was surrounded by her best friends. Irene handed her a glass of wine and asked, “Did you really get the marriage license with Mr. Casalini?”

Sofia took the glass, glanced at Irene, and downed the drink in one gulp. “How did you know?”

“Julia saw you and Richard at the courthouse today, getting into a fight while getting your marriage license! What’s going on with you two?”

Getting into a fight while getting married was quite a new one. People usually fight to get divorced. Even if they weren’t lovey-dovey during the marriage, they’d at least try to act civil. But to Sofia… they were fighting on their way to get married. Imagine what their married life would be like – probably setting fire to…

Julia came in from outside and saw Sofia. “Well,” she said, “I told you they wouldn’t be having a real wedding night. Irene didn’t believe me.” After the fight they had, they couldn’t have a normal wedding night.

Sofia poured herself another glass of wine. “What were you doing at the courthouse today?”

“Helping Toby, my second uncle, with his divorce.”

“Your uncle’s divorce, and you went?”

Julia picked up the bottle and took a swig. “Isn’t that normal? I’ve helped him with seven divorces already. I get paid for running errands.”

Sofia said, “Goodness.”

Julia’s uncle Toby is really something else. He could marry anyone he slept with, but then he’d get tired of them and leave. What a scumbag. He’s the worst of the worst.

Julia sat down next to her and put an arm around Sofia’s shoulders. “Hey, tell me what you’re thinking. When I saw what happened today, I thought you two were going to get a divorce. And then you two went and got a marriage license!”

No one could have imagined this. Not only did Sofia and Richard fight like cats and dogs, but they also argued and cursed at each other while getting their marriage license.

Irene joined in, “Yeah, what’s going on? I never heard you mention anything about Richard before. I thought he liked your little Stefi. What is he doing now?”

Sofia scoffed. “He likes Stefi? With his personality? Please, he wouldn’t know how to like someone.”

Irene exclaimed, “What? But doesn’t everyone in Fiorenza know that Stefi is Richard’s ex-fiancée and now she’s going to marry Mr. Giovanni?”

This was all so bizarre. It was hard to process everything for people. And Lottie even posted several times about her “daughter-in-law.” Everyone thought Stephanie was adopted by the Giovannis. But then, Lottie said that she raised her as a daughter-in-law.

Especially the one from early this morning. Lottie posted another one saying: [Not everyone can question the daughter-in-law of the Giovanni family.] Every word revealed her support for Stephanie.

It was clear that someone had been badmouthing Stephanie for the past two days, and Lottie was not happy about it.

Sofia took another sip of her drink. “That jerk Richard has always been against my brother. He’s a dark person. How could my sister possibly suffer with him?” Sofia’s assessment of Richard was truly terrible.

Irene was speechless, as was Julia. They couldn’t help but exchange glances upon hearing Sofia’s harsh words about Richard.

“So, you are going to suffer by his side yourself?” Irene asked. This was marriage. Sofia’s friends all knew that she treasured Stephanie, but to this extent was out of their imagination.

“Suffer?” Sofia scoffed. “Do I look like someone who would share the same fate by his side?”

“Then what are you going to do?” Julia asked.

“Get back at him.”

Irene was speechless again. Julia stammered, “Get… get back at him?”

Speaking of which, Sofia did have a reason to seek revenge on Richard. After all, it was because of him that the Giovanni family had suffered such a heavy blow three years ago.

At that time, her best friends all helped Sofia get through it. They tried their best to help her with their own resources. Speaking of Sofia’s best friends, Sofia had a good eye for friends. Olivia from Long Harbor seemed to have so many friends, but when something happened to her, no one helped her. Three years ago, many people helped Sofia. Not to mention the families of these best friends, even those best friends themselves, gave money, resources, and connections…

Irene hissed. “Even if you want revenge on Richard, you don’t have to get married to him to take revenge.”

Julia nodded. “Yeah, what is this crazy plan?” There were many ways and means of revenge, like getting married for revenge, but she didn’t understand what Sofia was doing.

Sofia said, “Just wait and see. I’m going to drain the entire Casalini family.”

Julia and Irene were speechless. They thought, ‘Drain the Casalini family? Is she serious? That is a big family. How can she drain it so easily?’

Sofia didn’t want to talk about Richard. “Okay, enough about Richard. Didn’t you just say that you saw that bastard Luca?” Speaking of Luca, Sofia gritted her teeth in hatred. She actually swindled Sofia out of so many treasures.

Irene said, “She left long before you came. She saw me and Julia and knew you would come.”
