Chapter 207

Richard was already fuming when he found out that Bernie had his eyes on Stephanie–and worse, was planning to mess with her. His anger boiled over, and he lashed out with a vicious kick to Bernie’s most vulnerable spot.

Bernie let out a strangled cry. His face twisted in agony as he clutched his groin and curled up on the ground. Everyon around them tensed, their hearts pounding at the sight.

“Mr. Casalini, calm down, Bernie gasped, his voice barely coherent through the pain.

But Richard was beyond reasoning. He kicked Bernie again and again–his stomach, his legs, and his groin–each blow fueled by his rage. “Enjoying hitting on women? You’ll never get a chance to do that again, Richard snarled.

“No, please. I didn’t know she was your fiancée. If I had, I wouldn’t dare, Bernie pleaded, his body slick with sweat from the pain.

Meanwhile, Theodore had been wheeled off the operating table and now lay in bed, his face still pale.

Alessio and Cable were gone, and Richard had brought a strong team, but Sebastian had taken out two of his best men. The thought just made Richard angrier, and his kicks landed even harder.

Bernie groaned, sweat pouring down his face.

Just as Richard was about to deliver a final, crushing blow, Theodore spoke up, “Hey, remember, he’s Bert’s brother? Bernie and Bert might not have been close, but if something happened to Bernie, Bert would definitely react.

Richard’s anger had reached its boiling point, and with one final, brutal kick, he left Bernie incapacitated. The air was filled with screams that were almost inhuman.

Theodore shook his head. “So that’s how it is,” he muttered. This move ensured Bernie would never be a threat to women again.

The idea that Bernie had even considered making a move on Stephanie was absurd. She was someone Richard could only dream about now, and Bernie had actually thought he could get away with it? His mind must have been completely addled.

But Richard wasn’t done yet. He ordered his men to give Bernie a thorough beating before handing him over to Bert

Theodore watched Richard, who was clearly struggling to keep his cool. After a moment of hesitation, he blurted out, “Come on, be honest with me. Do you really have feelings for Stephanie?”

He thought back to how Richard had secretly gone to Long Harbor and spirited her away before. But this time, it seemed like there was no plan to kidnap Stephanie. In fact, involving her would just complicate things further.

The issues between Richard and Sebastian were inevitable; they’d have to face each other sooner or later. But maybe it would be better to handle things without dragging Stephanie into it.

“Why do I feel like every time you ask Sebastian for that stuff, you’re actually after a chance to see Stephanie?” Theodore pressed.

Richard had always claimed he wanted something specific, but it seemed like he was really just looking for Steph the past two years, Sebastian had been chasing Richard all over the world. Yet Richard had been keeping a close eye on
