Chapter 650

Sofia asked, “Then why didn’t you stop her for me?”

“Well, I tried,” Julia showed her arm to Sofia. There was a large bruise on it. It was obvious that Luca had inflicted it.

“She hit you?”

“Irene and I together were no match for her,” Julia said. They had to try to stop Luca. After all, she had tricked Sofia, and they would feel bad if they didn’t at least try to stop her.

“That Luca fights with wild beasts all the time. How could we be a match for her?” Irene added.

Sofia was so angry that her teeth were gritted. “I’ll get that jerk back.”

No matter what, Luca was back in Fiorenza at that moment, and it was only a matter of time before Sofia found her. When she did, she would make her pay for everything.

Irene said, “I’ve asked someone to keep an eye on her for you.”

“No need. I’ll do it myself.” Sofia took a sip of wine. She had already troubled her friends enough three years ago. This time, she had to handle it on her own.

The three of them drank together, cursing Luca.

On Richard’s side, several people were left speechless after learning the main reason for his marriage to Sofia. They initially thought it was revenge against the Casalini family, but Richard said, “That bastard Dan, his disappearance for half a year was fishy. I bet he approached Sofia with ulterior motives back then.”

“What do you mean?” Lott asked.

“I couldn’t just watch her jump into the fire again. She was almost burned to ashes last time,” Richard stated.

Albert and Lott exchanged glances. They both felt something strange in his words.

Richard was already drunk. When he first arrived, he spoke of Sofia with hatred, claiming revenge against the Casalini family and teaching her a lesson. However, he was now saying he was afraid of Sofia falling for Dan’s tricks again.

Albert and Lott looked at the usually quiet Bonag. “Bonag, tell us, is he telling the truth because he’s drunk, or is he being serious?”

Richard said completely different things when he was sober and drunk. They thought, ‘So is he taking revenge on the Casalini family, or saving Sofia?’

Bonag raised his glass and drank it all. “No matter what, it’s best if he keeps his distance from Sofia.”

Albert nodded. “That’s true.” After all, with Sofia’s tough personality, she didn’t seem like a woman who was capable of love. She wasn’t gentle at all.

But there was definitely something wrong with Richard. Lott chimed in, also leaning closer to Richard. “Richard, you have to be careful with Sofia. Don’t even think about taking advantage of her.”

According to Richard, their marriage was purely a business arrangement. No one knew what if Richard couldn’t control himself. Thinking about Sofia’s temper, this wasn’t like marrying a wife; it was like putting a pair of scissors under his pillow.

Chapter 650

Both bars were bustling with activity, while Lorenzo’s villa was bathed in moonlight, the air thick with anticipation.

In the dimly lit room, a woman’s intermittent pleas for mercy and whimpers could be heard. The phrasing "Ella fert like the was wirik at sex, tossed and turned by the waves" is unclear and requires further clarification or correction to maintain coherence.

When Lorenzo pulled her into his arms again, her drowsy state jolted awake. The original phrasing is unclear and needs correction.

His voice was hoarse. “I’ll take you to see your mother tomorrow.”

Ella froze. Her hands, which had been pushing him away, hesitated and then slowly relaxed.

Sensing her yielding response, Lorenzo’s lips curled into a smile in the darkness.

Ella said, “Then… then you can’t lie to me.”

Under the moonlight, her misty eyes looked pitiful, and her small voice sounded like a frightened little animal. Ella didn’t know that this side of her would only make the beast in the dark lose control.

Lorenzo’s warm breath brushed against her ear as he coaxed softly, “I won’t lie to you, darling.”

Ella was stunned by his extremely gentle tone. It turned out that when Lorenzo was being gentle, he actually made people feel very safe. So it turned out that he knew how to coax people.

Even so, Ella still only weakly mumbled.

Seeing her so well-behaved, Lorenzo’s lips curved into an unprecedentedly doting smile in the night. He grabbed her slender wrist and dragged her once more into the darkness.

It was around five in the morning.

They had all drunk their fill. As usual, Bonag had the waiter send Richard to the top floor of Nocturna.

Albert and Lott also booked separate rooms for the night. Only Bonag was still somewhat sober and managed to call a driver to take him home.

Sofia, on the other hand, couldn’t hold her liquor well. Irene had already left, and Julia was about to take her home.

But just as Julia finished her last drink, her phone rang. She answered and gasped after hearing whatever was said on the other end. “What? Okay, okay, got it. I’m on my way!”

After hanging up, Julia looked at Sofia, who was completely wasted in her arms. Just as she was wondering what to do with her, she remembered the presidential suite on the top floor of Nocturna.
