Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 124 Just as they were about to leave together, Sebastian's phone rang.

He glanced at the screen, and his expression immediately darkened.

He gently rubbed Stephanie's soft hair and said in a warm tone, “Go ahead, I'll catch up.” "Sure," Jackson nodded, unconcerned.

Seeing he was busy, Stephanie turned and walked out first.

Only when her footsteps had faded down the stairs did Sebastian finally answer the call. "You found Stefi?" A man's wicked voice cthrough the phone, dripping with arrogance and provocation. Sebastian's grip on the phone tightened, and a dark aura surrounded him.

"What does that have to do with you?" "Of course it does, since Stefi..." "Richard Casalini, I suggest you value your life," Sebastian coldly interrupted.

Richard Casalini, the older brother of Valentina Casalini, was a powerful figure behind him.

Years ago, the reason Stephanie had been forced to leave Fiorenza was because she feared Richard's influence in the country.

At that time, her mother and sister, Sofia, were under his control, and she feared for their safety.

Also, the threat he posed to Sebastian at the tmade it impossible for Stephanie to refuse.

She left, successfully diverting Richard's attention and giving Sebastian a brief moment of relief.

It was that brief moment that would becRichard's greatest regret.

In the last two years, Sebastian had dismantled the Casalini family with ruthless efficiency.

He chuckled darkly. "You still dare call me? Huh?" Richard's voice cagain, mocking. "It's not about daring, I have to. After all, I'm very concerned about Stefi." A mocking laugh followed his words.

Sebastian's voice turned colder. "You'd better worry about yourself. Finn Moran is the type to bite his own people." Being allied with such a person is like walking in the dark with wolves at your back.

As soon as Richard heard about Finn's nature, the atmosphere on the phone turned cold.

The playful and provocative tone vanished, replaced by an ominous warning, "Pull your people back!" Richard stopped circling around and spoke directly.

Sebastian's men had been watching his every move, leaving him no room to breathe.

1/5 93%1 Tue, Chapter 124 They even knew about his connection with Finn.

Was this a matter of Sebastian not giving up until he was dead? As he thought about all the ambushes he'd faced recently, Richard's tone lost its earlier playfulness, replaced by coldness and danger.

Stephanie was bundled up in a thick coat.

She walked out of the small building, carrying a few items, and followed the signs toward the hot springs along the green path.

"Miss Giovanni?" Kevin's voice cfrom a distance.

Stephanie paused and turned to see Chris and Kevin walking toward her.

Chris looked surprised when he saw her, but his expression quickly darkened.

He walked up to her, his tone sharp. "What are you doing here? How did you find out I was coming?" 'After everything that had been going on recently, it was easy to say she didn't care, but wasn't she secretly checking up on my whereabouts?' Chris glanced at Kevin, who stiffened under his gaze.

"Miss Giovanni didn't call me," Kevin quickly explained, sensing the tension.

Chris knew exactly what that look meant-Kevin hadn't spilled the beans about Chris's plans.

The trip had been a last-minute decision, and no one at the company knew they were here. Chris's expression darkened further.

He turned to Stephanie. "Where did you get the information that I was coming here?" Stephanie was at a loss for words.

'What was that?' 'What was he trying to say?' 'Was he implying that because I got wind of his whereabouts, and I followed him here?' 'Had he really been this confident all this time?' At this moment, Stephanie was beyond doubting Chris's intelligence. She was beginning to question his sanity.

She found it almost laughable. "Why aren't you sticking to Olivia? Why are you here?" "And how did you even find out I was here? Were you planning to ambush me?" She threw his arrogance right back at him.

Chris's face darkened at her words.

2/5 Chapter 124 His gaze sharpened as he looked at her.

Standing behind Chris, Kevin scratched his head. Miss Giovanni's sharp tongue was no joke-she certainly wasn't backing down.

Chris gritted his teeth. "Stephanie, I know you're clever, but letmake something clear. If you tellwho owns Whispering Bay, maybe I'll consider..." "Ugh, Chris, are you really that dumb?" Stephanie couldn't hold back her frustration anymore.

'Maybe consider what? Was he thinking there was a possibility of a follow-up between them? Did he really think he was skind of prize everyone wanted a piece of? Chris snapped, "You..." "Stefi." Before Chris could finish his sentence, a voice from the distance interrupted him.

Both of them turned to see Jackson and Rebecca approaching.

Jackson wore a warm smile, his gaze towards Stephanie soft and affectionate.

Seeing Jackson, Chris's face turned an even darker shade of black.

Jackson reached Stephanie's side, glancing at the things in her hands. “Heading to the hot springs?" He spoke casually, and Stephanie nodded in response.

-Jackson's tone grew even more gentle. "You should hurry. It's freezing out here." ***** Was it just his imagination, or did Chris detect a hint of affection in Jackson's tone? His expression darkened even further.

Stephanie nodded. “Yeah, I'm heading there now." "Wait." Chris reached out to stop her. He still had a lot of questions.

With her phone turned off and her whereabouts hard to pin down, this was his chance to finally get sanswers.

But just as his, hand reached for her, Jackson grabbed his wrist. "Chris, you planning on wrecking that hand too?" Jackson's gaze briefly flicked to Chris's casted hand.

That single glance was an enormous insult to Chris.

After all, his injury was hardly something he was proud of.

Chris glared at him, his eyes filled with fury. He almost wanted to devour Jackson alive.

He hissed coldly, "Let go!" 3/5 13. 13.

Chapter 124 Jackson ignored him. He had intended to tell Stephanie to hurry along bow when he turned wouch for we dedze Jackson stood there for a moment, stunned.

This brat really lives up to her reputation. So thanks, no noting Stephanie was well aware of what was happening Especially now, when Jackson and Chris were on the verge of an important collation, the made sve to korpher distance from these people.

She wasn't about to let them have any influence over her.

Jackson, seeing that Stephanie was already gone, wasn't about to waste any more twith Chris He let go and turned to leave.

But as he was walking away, Chris called out, "Where is the heir?

Jackson raised an eyebrow at Chris's question. "You mean to tellm you've been here this whole tand Will don't even know the nof the person you're supposed to meet?" It's a good thing that Chris only had one son-otherwise, he would just be abandoned like garbage.

With his looks and presence, it was a shsuch a handsfigure had nothing more to offer.

He might as well be brainless.

Chris's expression darkened as he stayed silent.

Jackson, however, couldn't hold back his laughter. "Heh, hahahaha!" It was a mocking laugh.

Chris clenched his jaw, trying to suppress his anger. "Stop laughing. It's ugly." Jackson smirked, "You're complaining aboutlaughing when you've got no skills yourself?" Chris remained silent.

Jackson clicked his tongue twice. "Tell me, Mr. Lucano had been in the city for quite a while now, but what exactly have you been doing?" 'You still don't even know the person's name, let alone where they are!

Chris had been so focused on Olivia, he didn't even care about this m important matter. But now, he had to admit, Olivia had caused him so many distractions. If the six elders of the Ashford family knew about this, they'd probably devour her alive.

Chris's expression darkened, his voice low, "What I do is none of your business." Jackson shrugged. "You're right, it's none of my business." He turned to Rebecca, "Let's go." "Yes, sir." 1 Chapter 124 Rebecca respectfully followed.

As they left, Chris looked at Kevin behind him. "Do you remember the nof the heir to the Lucano family?".

Kevin hesitated. "There's almost no news online, but I think the last nis Giovanni." AD Comment Send gift No Ads 93%1 07:03 Tue, 11 Mar Chapter 125 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
