Chapter 680

Just when Sofia had finished off the last person and thought it was over, two more cars arrived at the alley entrance. This time, even more people were coming.

Sofia said, “Damn it. Are they trying to kill me today?”

Luca glanced at her. “Then why aren’t you running?”

Sofia didn’t say anything and started to run.

Luca asked, “Still have the energy to fight?”

Sofia retorted, “Don’t underestimate me.” But in truth, she was starting to feel drained. Last night, Richard had worn her out. She had been running for several blocks with Luca and had just fought tooth and nail with a dozen people. She was genuinely exhausted now.

Luca rolled her eyes at Sofia and, with agility, hopped onto the iron gate behind her.

Sofia thought, “This girl is good.”

When Richard arrived, he saw a group of people chasing Sofia. Richard’s eyes turned cold. He turned around, took a rifle from the trunk, and fired a round of shots at them.

Those people didn’t expect an ambush from behind. By the time Sofia and Luca climbed over the iron gate, all of them had been knocked to the ground.

The only one left alive saw Richard and backed away as if he had seen the Grim Reaper. Richard strode forward, each step as heavy as if he were stepping on the man’s heart.

“Mr. Casalini.” The man recognized Richard, his voice trembling.

Richard stepped on the man’s chest. “Tell me who sent you?”

“I, we…” The man hesitated, unwilling to tell the truth.

The next moment, Richard pressed the gun against the man’s forehead. “Mr. Casalini…” the man begged.

Richard narrowed his eyes. “Let me guess. You are Elena’s people?”

The man remained silent.

Richard raised an eyebrow. “Dan?” The man remained silent, but a flicker of panic flashed across his eyes when Richard mentioned this name.

Richard chuckled. This time, without waiting for the man to speak, he directly sent him to death. He turned and looked towards the depths of the alley.

Sofia was long gone. The image of her rushing figure flashed through his mind, which made Richard smile.

Dan didn’t wake up until late at night. Elena had been staying by his side the whole time. Seeing that he had finally awoken, Elena let out a sigh of relief. “Dan, you’re finally awake. You really scared me.”

Elena’s voice was filled with worry.

Seeing Elena, a hint of disgust flickered in Dan’s eyes, and his indifference was particularly obvious. “Why are you here?” he asked coldly.

Elena’s heart trembled at his icy tone, and she choked out, “Why? Would you rather have Sofia here? She wouldn’t come.”

Dan didn’t say a word. His face, already pale, grew even colder when he heard Elena’s words.

Elena lowered her eyes. “Were you with her last night?” she asked, her voice filled with unspoken pain.

Before Dan could speak, she cried out hysterically, “Why? Dan, I’ve been by your side for so many years. Can’t you fall for me a little?”

Dan’s eyes turned colder when he heard Elena’s words.

Elena said, “She’s already in your past.”

Elena had lost track of how many years she had loved Dan. This love had lasted so long that she had forgotten time itself. She thought, ‘If it were anyone else, they would have been moved after so many years. Is this man’s heart truly made of stone?’

“You remember everything now, don’t you?” Elena asked, sensing that Dan’s memory had already returned. Elena’s voice was filled with unprecedented despair when she asked the question.

Dan glared at her coldly. “You’re the one who tampered with my memory.”

Elena was speechless. Silence fell over them. She looked at Dan, her breathing ragged.

A dangerous look flickered in Dan’s eyes. “Elena, you deserve to die.”

Elena was shocked, and Dan’s words kept ringing in her head. “What did you say?” Elena asked and thought, ‘Do I really deserve to die? Have I really done something wrong? No. I do not.’

Tears welled up in her eyes. “You said I deserved to die, Dan. I’m your fiancée. I’ve been with you for so many years. We’re getting married. I’m the one who’ll spend the rest of my life with you. You betrayed me and you’re cursing me.”

They were supposed to get married. Now that Sofia suddenly reappeared, their wedding had been postponed indefinitely.

Hearing Dan say that she deserved to die, Elena felt a suffocating pain in her heart, as if so many years of their relationship had become a joke.

“You hate me because of her? Do you know that you would have died if you hadn’t left?” Elena gritted her teeth as she spat out the last three words, “I saved you.”

Sofia was a homewrecker for Elena. “The Giovanni family is a quagmire; you won’t benefit from getting involved. Don’t you know that?” Elena questioned sharply.

Dan shot her a cold look.

Elena, always afraid of Dan, felt even more suffocated. “Sofia doesn’t love you at all. Look how she treated you after what you did to her last night.”

Elena assumed that the man last night was Dan, which made her hate Sofia even more. She had planned so meticulously and didn’t understand why Sofia ended up in Dan’s arms.

Thinking about Sofia’s reaction last night, Elena said, “She wanted to kill you. She doesn’t love you at all.” Elena wondered, ‘How could Sofia do such a thing if she loves Dan?’

Elena spoke hysterically, and her words made Dan’s face darken. Finally, he shouted coldly towards the door, “Samuel.”

Samuel had been guarding the door. After seeing Dan faint so many times today, he didn’t dare to leave for a second.

Hearing Dan’s voice, Samuel immediately entered and said, “Sir?”

Dan said, “Take her away.”

Hearing this, Samuel glanced at Elena.

“Dan.” Seeing that Dan wanted her gone, Elena felt even worse.

Elena knew that it was because she had said things that Dan didn’t want to hear. He always got her away every time she said something he didn’t like. Elena thought, ‘But I’m his fiancée. How can he treat me like this again and again?’

Seemingly used to this situation, Samuel looked at Elena and said, “Ms. Rossi, please.”

Elena took a deep breath, tears streaming down her face. “It doesn’t matter what you feel for her now. She’s already Mrs. Casalini. The two of you can never be together.”

Each word Elena spat out in anger grated on Dan’s nerves. He looked at her, his gaze becoming increasingly dangerous.

It was evening at the Giovanni residence. Stephanie had a good appetite and had three bowls of oatmeal. Sebastian took her for an hour-long walk, and only then did she feel comfortable enough to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Allison’s call came. “Stefi, there’s something I need to tell you.”

Stephanie, disturbed in her sleep, was about to curse when she heard Allison’s voice and quickly swallowed her words back.

“What’s up, Allison?” Stephanie was sleepy.

Hearing her voice, Allison apologized, “Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot about the time difference.”

Stephanie replied, “It’s okay. Tell me what’s going on?”

Allison said, “Olivia is dead.”

Stephanie said nothing.
