Forsaken Daughter Pampered by Top Hier

Chapter 618
Chapter 618
The marriage between Richard and Sofia, to be blunt, was just a collaboration.
Richard walked in and just overheard Sebastian saying “desperate,” which immediately made his face darken.
‘What did Sebastian mean by that? Those who insist on marrying for love should be the desperate ones, okay? What I have with
Sofia is merely a partnership. Yet, Sebastian calls me desperate?‘ Richard thought, filled with fury.
Catching a glimpse of Richard, Sebastian smiled and said to Elliot, “Tell Sofia to tone it down a bit.”
Elliot looked surprised. Just as he was about to ask why, he noticed Richard standing at the door, looking furious with his arms
crossed over his chest.
Sebastian remarked, “We shouldn’t help someone too thoroughly.”
Elliot coughed awkwardly, noticing that Richard’s expression had grown even darker.

Sebastian picked up on Elliot’s suggestive cough, turned around, and met Richard’s intense gaze. Sebastian’s smile grew wider
as he said, “Mr. Casalini, don’t you agree?”
Richard was absolutely furious. With a sardonic laugh, he strode over and sat directly across from Sebastian. “You’re being quite
unreasonable, aren’t you? Stabbing me in the back on purpose?”
“I just didn’t want things to go too easily for you,” Sebastian replied casually.
They all knew very well that Richard’s father, Matthew, was no longer concerned about the relationship with the Giovanni family.
Instead, he was wary of them.
If Sofia got tangled in the internal conflicts between Richard and the Casalini family, it would make it much easier for him to
reclaim what belonged to Jessica, his mother.
Although Richard was a member of the Casalini family, he held an irreconcilable grudge against them.

Three years ago, he had broken off with the family and reclaimed almost everything that was Jessica’s. But what he desired was
more than just that.
The crisis the Casalini family faced in the earlier years had been resolved through the marriage with Jessica. However, Matthew
had been ungrateful–he betrayed Jessica.

When Richard was fourteen, the woman Matthew favored caused a scene during Jessica’s difficult labor, leading to the deaths of
both Jessica and the baby girl. Yet, Matthew brought that woman and her child into the Casalini family, enjoying everything that
should have belonged to Jessica.
This was a deep thorn in Richard’s heart. He didn’t just want to reclaim what was his mother’s; he wanted the entire Casalini
family. And if he couldn’t have it, he’d destroy it.
“Sebastian, you can betray me in anything, but not in this matter,” Richard said, his voice laced with coldness.
Before Sebastian could reply, he continued, his tone growing more intense, “I know you resent me for making you and Stephanie
miss three years together. But she was my fiancée, and I’ve never intended to harm her.”
There was one thing Matthew had done that Richard really appreciated: arranging for Stephanie. Nobody could understan how
he had felt when he found out Stephanie would be his wife. That night, Richard hadn’t slept a wink.
But Stephanie had developed feelings for Sebastian, the man who had been looking after her since she was a kid. Just thinking
about it made Richard’s blood boil.

Sebastian narrowed his eyes, giving Richard an icy look. “Do you think Sofia can help you get everything back?”
“At least she doesn’t need to restrain herself. Let her go to the Casalini family and create chaos,” Richard said, gritting his
teeth.
