Chapter 366 Betrayal

Emma was taken aback, her body jolting in surprise at the sound of Leonardo's menacing and furious voice reverberating through the room. She hastily settled back into her seat, attempting to compose herself while a palpable fear lingered in her voice.

"Leonardo, please calm down. Sofia is resting in the guest room. She wasn't feeling well and was eagerly waiting for you to arrive for lunch. I suggested that she take some time to rest until you came," Emma replied, her voice quivering slightly as she tried to maintain an

innocent facade.

Leonardo's voice boomed again, filled with anger and impatience. "Where the hell is the guest room?" he bellowed, his frustration echoing through the space.

Carlo Ricci, standing at the top of the staircase, intervened forcefully, his voice resonating with authority and indignation. "Leonardo! Why are you causing a commotion in my house? You dare speak to my wife that way."

A surge of fury filled Leonardo as he retorted, "Carlo Ricci, where is my wife? If anything happens to her, I won't spare you or your wife. I'll damn well annihilate your entire family, and no one will be able to stop me until I find Sofia this instant."

Carlo, undeterred by Leonardo's threats, descended the stairs, his rage matching that of Leonardo's. "Are you out of your damn mind? You dare to speak of my daughter that way?" he shouted, his voice laced with righteous anger.

"And that daughter of yours is nowhere to be found in this house when she was supposed to have lunch with you, you damn Riccis!" Leonardo bellowed, his fury unrelenting.

Leonardo's words hung in the air, tension thickening with each passing moment. Carlo, now face to face with Leonardo, engaged in a volatile confrontation. The audacity displayed by Carlo after Leonardo's wife had vanished from their residence only fueled Leonardo's boiling anger.

Turning his attention toward his wife, Carlo interrogated Emma in a dangerous tone, demanding answers. "Emma, where is Sofia?" he seethed, his voice heavy with an ominous warning.

"She... she... I... I sent her to rest in the guest room. Perhaps she's asleep there. I... I'll go and check on her," she faltered, her words betraying her unease.

Emma's stammering response only served to further confirm Leonardo's suspicions.

Carlo, frustrated with the situation and the blame being placed upon them, lashed out at Emma, his voice reverberating with fury. "What are you waiting for, Emma? Hurry up, you fool! Can't you see that Leonardo is accusing us?"
