Chapter 646

The Casalini residence.

The atmosphere in the living room was heavy. Matthew, his wife Mona, and her son Adrian were all present.

Sofia casually painted her nails.

After hearing Sofia’s reason for coming, everyone exchanged uneasy glances. Mona’s face, in particular, darkened considerably.

Matthew glanced at his watch. It was already one in the morning. He turned to the butler. “Prepare a guest room for Ms. Giovanni.”

“Richard didn’t come back with you?” Matthew asked, turning to Sofia.

“My husband is busy,” Sofia said, glancing at the butler who was about to arrange the room. “No need for the room. Dad, just give me a straight answer. When will you give it to me?”

While she called him “Dad” quite naturally, it didn’t sit well with anyone present. Matthew clutched his chest in frustration, and Mona and Adrian’s faces were even more unsightly.

Earlier, Sofia had claimed that she and Richard were legally married, that she had been tricked, even threatened, into it.

She meant that although they had registered their marriage, she wouldn’t forgo any of the customary rituals. She even brought a list.

Before Richard’s mother married Matthew, she brought a dowry to the Casalini family and recorded everything on a list. Sofia meant that she deserved that money.

Saying things like “customary rituals” sounded all elegant, but what she really meant was that she wanted to split the family’s assets now that she and Richard were married. Everyone was sharp; no one was fooled.

Now, her words, “When will you give it to me,” were even more aggressive.

Mona asked, “Is this Richard’s idea?” She was trying to maintain her image as a good stepmother, but it was difficult at this point. If one listened closely, one could hear a hint of gritted teeth in her tone.

Sofia missed a stroke while painting her nails. Annoyed, she slammed the nail polish brush on the table with a bang.
