Mistaken for a Gold Digger: The Billionaire Lifelong Regret Chapter 04

His men immediately stepped forward to support Riccardo. “Boss, what now…?” 

Riccardo gripped the armrest beside him, his knuckles bulging. After a moment, he said in a low voice, “First, to the hospital room. I need to find out what really happened to my brother back then.” 

In the hospital room, when Lia saw Riccardo walk in, a pale smile immediately appeared on her face. 

“Riccardo, have you seen Christine’s child? He looks so much like your brother…” 

Before she could finish, Riccardo cut her off. 

“Lia,” unlike his usual gentleness and care, Riccardo’s face was full of coldness. 

“How did my brother really die?” 

“What are you talking about, Riccardo? Of course he was killed by Claudia.” 

Niccolo pushed open the door and rushed in, holding a pile of documents, 

As Riccardo flipped through the documents, the murderous intent around him grew heavier and heavier. 

His gaze fell on Lia’s momentarily panicked eyes, and 

Riccardo almost instantly lunged forward, gripping her wrist tightly. 

“I’ll give you one more chance,” Riccardo said through gritted teeth. 

“How did Christine really die back then?” 

“I’ve been telling the truth.” 

As soon as the words left her mouth, Riccardo violently threw the documents in Lia’s face. 

“You’re still lying even now. 

Looking at Lia’s instantly pale face, Riccardo suddenly grabbed her by the throat. 

“Why?” 

Riccardo’s hand mercilessly tightened. Lia’s eyes rolled back as she struggled helplessly. 

“Let me go… I, I’ll tell… don’t kill me…” 

After getting a brief moment to breathe, Lia looked at the man before her, her eyes full of terror, her words a chaotic mess. 

“I was the one who poisoned Christine. As long as he was around, I could never become the master here.” 

“But if he died, it would be different. If he died, my child would be the new heir.” 

“So, after I got pregnant with his child, I poisoned him. When I left, I slipped the remaining poison into Claudia’s coat pocket.” 

Lia watched Riccardo’s expression grow darker with each sentence, so frightened she could barely speak 

“I, I’ve told you everything. You, you said you’d let me go.” 

“Guards,” Riccardo looked at the woman trembling like a leaf before him and ordered without emotion. 

“Throw her in the cold cellar.” 

“How dare you?” Lia screamed at the top of her lungs. 

“I’m the mother of the Bellanova family patriarch’s son. How can you do this to me?” 

Before she could finish, Niccolo gagged her mouth and forcibly dragged her off the bed. 

“The heir’s mother unfortunately died during childbirth.” 

Riccardo looked at her and said flatly. 

“Go there and reflect on how to make amends to my eldest brother.” 

Lia looked utterly disbelieving as she was dragged away, wailing. 

Riccardo glanced at the trail of blood winding across the floor. 

“Watch her closely. Don’t let her die before she’s suffered enough.” 

Sophia clearly hadn’t expected Riccardo to return so quickly. 

“Brother, how did you…” 

“Where’s Claudia?” Riccardo rushed over in a hurry. 

“Massive hemorrhage, she’s dead,” Sophia lowered her head, looking utterly heartbroken. “The baby. didn’t make it either.” 

“Dead?” 

Riccardo grabbed Sophia by the collar, his eyes bloodshot. 

“How could Claudia be dead? What did you do?” 

“I didn’t do anything,” Sophia looked completely wronged, stretching her neck and shouting. 

“It’s because her body was so weak. Not long after you left, she showed signs of miscarriage, and before we could even call a doctor, she died from massive bleeding.” 

Like a blow to the head, Riccardo could barely stand, staggering back a few steps. 

Leaning against the wall, he murmured in a low voice, “The dosage was all calculated by the doctor… how could something go wrong…” 

“Where’s the body?” 

“The body, the body is in the back mountain…” 

Search, go search…” 

Riccardo shouted with red eyes, “Even if she’s dead, bring the body back to me.” 

His men searched for three days, practically turning the back mountain upside down. 

Riccardo sat in his high seat, his expression growing darker and darker. 

“Go to Sophia’s place.” 

Riccardo stood up. 

“She was hesitant that day. She must be hiding something.”
