Chapter 672

Theodore felt a shiver down his spine under Richard’s gaze. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Go find Sofia now,” Richard said.

“What?” Theodore exclaimed.

Richard narrowed his eyes. “Tell her what happened this morning. Handling this mess himself gave him a headache, especially when it came to Sofia.”

Theodore trailed off, at a loss for words. He didn’t know what he should say to Sofia. “No, no, I can’t do that,” he said without thinking. He couldn’t tell her the truth. If he did, he would be dead for sure.

Even after Sofia had caused such a scene, Richard wasn’t eager to face her and admit that he was the one who slept with her.

“Richard, please, have mercy!” Theodore was on the verge of tears. “Why don’t you go talk to her yourself? With your skills, you can definitely handle her.”

At the mention of “handling” her, Theodore paled even further. He couldn’t help but recall the sight of Dan getting beaten up. Despite his impressive skills, Dan had been completely defenseless against Sofia’s fury. Theodore could imagine what would happen if Richard went to Sofia.

Richard scoffed, “You think you won’t get beaten if I go myself?”

“Just don’t tell her that we dragged you away!” Theodore was practically crying now. In his opinion, the only way out of this mess was for Richard to come clean. Only if Richard took full responsibility would they have any hope of escaping Sofia’s wrath.

Theodore shuddered as he remembered the fate of those who had been beaten to a pulp. He had been against Richard telling Sofia the truth before, but now, he was all for it. “Richard, just go, okay?”

Richard said, “Not now.”

“What?” Theodore thought they couldn’t wait any longer. If they waited any longer, something would really happen.

Richard narrowed his eyes slightly. “Let’s wait till she’s done with Elena.”

“Huh?” Theodore scratched his head in confusion. “Richard, don’t you think Elena is the most innocent one in this matter?”

Dan, the scapegoat, was already wronged enough. He took all the blame for sleeping with Sofia. Elena was even more innocent.

Hearing Theodore say that Elena was wronged, Richard sneered, “Wronged? Hmph.” None of the people around Dan were innocent.

Although Sofia had a fiery personality, she was actually very simple-minded. She didn’t know anything about what those people did to her. It was perfect to make her show her strength and completely subdue those people. In this way, she’d be taking revenge for herself.

Theodore was even more confused. “Isn’t she wronged?” Elena was a woman, and she didn’t have the ability to sleep with Sofia. So Theodore thought Elena would be wronged if she got beaten for this.

Seeing Theodore’s confused look, Richard gave him a look that said he was an idiot.

Theodore thought, ‘Isn’t she wronged? Forget it, let Sofia vent her anger on the people around Dan first. If I go up to her now, it will be really bad.’

Chapter 672

Elena had just received a call informing her that Dan had been beaten up and hospitalized. Fuming, she gritted her teeth. “What happened? What would she go after Dan?”

Then Elena’s voice grew vicious. “That bitch! I knew she wouldn’t be able to trace it back to me! How many guys were there last night?” She was relieved that Sofia didn’t trace it back to her and wondered why Sofia would target Dan.

Sofia was taken aback. The anger that had been building up inside her on the way here was now a raging inferno. Elena’s words were all the confirmation Sofia needed. Elena was definitely behind it all.

Stephanie did have some tricks up her sleeve. She had analyzed the situation perfectly.

It seemed that Sofia had been so nice lately that these people dared to scheme against her like this. She was furious Elena hired several men and intended to set her up.

Lost in thought, Sofia heard Elena’s tone suddenly turn icy. “What do you mean you couldn’t find—”

Sofia’s eyes narrowed. She kicked the door, which wasn’t completely closed. There was a loud bang. Elena’s words were cut off abruptly.

Elena had her back to the door while she was on the phone. She spun around angrily. “What are you doing? Don’t you know—” The last words died on her lips when she saw Sofia. Her eyes flickered with a hint of guilt.

That flicker of guilt was all it took to push Sofia over the edge. Without a word, she stepped forward and slapped Elena twice across the face. Her movements were lightning-fast. Elena’s head spun from the impact. Her mind went blank.

“You—”

Another slap landed on Elena’s face. Sofia had lost all reason. She didn’t want to waste her breath on Elena. Grabbing Elena’s hair, she slapped her again and again.

Elena was slapped a dozen times in a row. Her head was spinning. She couldn’t think straight.
