Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 154 Sebastian cast her a sidelong glance and touched her forehead. The fever had gone down.

His gaze was warm. "What could I possibly be hiding, from you?" "Was it you who did that to Olivia?" Stephanie asked, Overnight, Olivia had been thrown out of the hospital. There was no doubt it was Sebastian's doing Sebastian pulled her into his arms in one swift motion. Stephanie lost her balance and ended up straddling his lap.

"Hiss-" She sucked in a sharp breath. The pain was unbearable, like a numbing ache radiating through her body. Sebastian noticed how her face scrunched up in discomfort. "Hurts again? "Be gentler," Stephanie said. "It really hurts.” "Sorry, I forgot," Sebastian said.

Stephanie froze for a second. Hearing him say he forgot sent a chill down her spine. Why would he forget? "You can't forget," she said firmly.

Luckily, he hadn't forgotten about last night. Otherwise, she would have felt completely wronged with no one to take responsibility for what had happened.

Sebastian massaged her legs. "Does it hurt here?" "It's really sore," Stephanie said. At this point, her legs barely felt like they belonged to her.

Sebastian continued massaging gently. "You're so delicate." Stephanie pouted.

Sebastian arched a brow. "You haven't been working out all these years?" Hearing that, Stephanie suddenly felt a little guilty. Sebastian made it a rule to ensure a minimum amount of exercise every day.

Ever since she left Fiorenza, she had been living in complete disregard for discipline.

"You haven't?" he repeated.

Stephanie, feeling guilty, gave a small nod.

"Once you've recovered, you'll run for an hour every day,” Sebastian said.

Stephanie groaned internally. 'An hour? He might as well killnow, she wondered.

"So it really was you who did that to Olivia?" she asked again.

"Last night, Elliot met with the driver who hit you two years ago. I don't know what was said," Sebastian replied.

Stephanie didn't believe that for a second. Of course, he knew.

Sebastian smirked. "What's the matter, Stefi? Are you feeling sorry for her?" 1/5 Chapter 154 "Do you think that's even possible? Stephanie rolled her eyes.

She would never feel sorry for Olivia. The only people who could ever touch her heart were members of the Chovanni family. No one else had ever made it in.

Sebastian let out a low chuckle, Stephanie said, "Now that she's panicking, she'll probably try to go abroad for treatment, right?" "She won't be able to," Sebastian said.

Stephanie's eyes widened in shock.

Sebastian remained as gentlemanly and composed as ever, but his words were nothing short of a death sentence.

"You're trapping her until her death?" Stephanie asked.

When Olivia stayed in Long Harbor, she wouldn't be able to find a doctor willing to treat her. If she realized she couldn't even leave Long Harbor, she would fall into complete despair.

**** Sebastian stayed with Stephanie for a while before leaving.

Before he left, he even made sure she drank scold medicine.

As soon as Stephanie burrowed back into her blankets, her phone vibrated.

She glanced at the caller ID, and her heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, she answered and pressed the phone to her ear. "Hello, Sofia?" she called out.

The moment Stephanie finished speaking, Sofia's furious roar cthrough the phone. "Be at the airport in three hours to -pickup." Stephanie's heart skipped a beat. "Y-you're in Long Harbor?" "This is bad. If she seescovered in injuries, what am I supposed to say? Should I tell her I got bitten by bugs? Or that I fell?' she wondered.

Sofia's tone was full of fire. “Hmph! Just wait till I get my hands on you. You're pretty good at running, huh? I've spent the past two years flipping the world upside down looking for you! "Even Sebastian managed to find you, and you still dared to play hide-and-seek?" Just the thought of searching for Stephanie made Sofia furious. Over the past two years, she had people scouring every corner of the globe, yet Stephanie remained nowhere to be found.

Now, Sebastian had been in Long Harbor for a while and managed to track her down.

Sofia had asked him for Stephanie's number, but he refused to give it to her. That alone had nearly driven her up the wall. In the end, she had to go through all sorts of trouble just to get it herself.

Right now, all she wanted was to give Stephanie a good beating.

Hearing Sofia say she was going to deal with her made Stephanie's heart tremble again. "Where are you right now?" She'll be in Long Harbor in three hours? That means she's already left Fiorenza?' Stephanie shivered at the thought.

Sofia sneered. "Why? You planning to warn Sebastian? If you dare tell him I ran off, you're finished." 2/5 Chapter 164 Stephanie traze for a second She was en rared "I should be there in about three hours boba continued.

Even the way they intimidated people carried the slevel of danger Stephanie rolled around in bed in distres "So you really left Florenzas Sofia scoffed. "You seriously thinking about warning Sebastian? Better watch yourself, or 'il break your lege Right now, she genuinely wanted to break Stephanie's legs.

Three years ago, after Stephanie ran away, she had actually dared to lade from them.

"I wouldn't dare," Stephanie murmured. 'Oh my, she is so terrifying she wondered, Sofia huffed. "You better not dare. Just wait till 1 deal with you, Stephanie. You're something else, huh? Hiding to far aw Why didn't you just run off into outer space? How did you not starve to death out there? Stephanie was momentarily speechless, "See you in three hours: After rattling off her threats, Sofia hung up.

In Sofia's eyes, Stephanie had always been the weakest one. During the two years she couldn't find her, she even started wondering if Stephanie had starved to death somewhere.

Listening to the beeping of the disconnected call, Stephanie gritted her teeth and forced herself out of bed, enduring the pain.

She had to tell Sebastian.

If Sofia arrived and saw her in this state, there would be no explaining it. Right now, there was no way she could handle Sofia on her own.

Stephanie threw on a coat and stepped out of her room. She checked the study, no sign of Sebastian. Then she searched the living room; he wasn't there either.

The butler approached her respectfully. "Hi, Miss Giovanni, what can I do for you?" "Did Sebastian go out?" she asked.

"Mr. Giovanni didn't leave. He's in the billiards room," the butler replied.

'Billiards room? There's a billiards room here?' Stephanie thought to herself. She just moved in not long ago, and she hadn't even looked around properly.

"Where is it?" she asked.

"Just straight ahead. I can take you there, Miss Giovanni," the butler offered politely.

"No need, I'll go myself," Stephanie said, turning toward the hallway on the left side of the living room.

That night, the snow in Long Harbor was heavier than ever.

Stephanie walked through the warm, glass-enclosed corridor. Through the transparent panels, she could see the thick layers of snow outside, glistening under the glow of the streetlights.

Stephanie arrived at the billiards room quickly.

3/5 52- Chapter 154 Just as she reached the doorway, a heavy thud echoed from inside, followed by a man's pained cry.

Her heart trembled. With stiff fingers, she pushed the door open just a crack.

Inside, Elliot stood with one foot pressing down on the back of am blood-soaked man someone from Florenza. His expression was ruthless, eyes filled with lethal intent. The murderous aura around him made it seem like he would crush the man beneath his foot at any second.

Not far away, Sebastian lounged on the sofa, legs crossed, a cigar lazily pinched between between his fingers. That natural air of danger surrounded him, yet there was an unmistakable touch of indolence mixed in. The man on the ground begged in terror, "Mr. Giovanni, please have mercy! I swear, I don't know where Lancelot is! Please, letgo!" The moment he finished speaking, Elliot pressed his foot down even harder.

Only then did Stephanie notice that he was deliberately stepping on the man's wounded back. Under the pressure, fresh blood kept oozing from the wound.

"Carl, do you really want to leave your life behind tonight?" Elliot said, his tone casual. As he spoke, he om ve smoothly reached to his waist, pulled out a gun, and clicked off the safety before pressing the cold barrel against the man's forehead. Carl trembled all over. "Mr. Giovanni, I really don't know! I..." Bang! His desperate pleas were abruptly silenced.

Stephanie's heart lurched violently. Her hands trembled uncontrollably, causing the door to creak ever so slightly.

The people inside were highly alert.

Even though the sound was faint, both Sebastian and Elliot immediately turned their sharp gazes toward the door along with several bodyguards.

Elliot lifted his foot off Carl and strode toward the entrance. Before Stephanie could instinctively step back, the door was already pulled open.

Seeing that it was Stephanie, Elliot was momentarily stunned. "Miss Giovanni?" Sebastian's expression darkened the moment he realized she was there. He lifted his gaze toward her, the coldness in his eyes not yet fully concealed.

Stephanie had seen this side of Sebastian before, but that was years ago.

Now, faced with such a scene once again, she could still recall just how dangerous he had been back then. Sebastian exhaled slowly. "Stefi?” Her breath hitched. She forced her eyes away from the bloodied man on the ground and met Sebastian's gaze.

This time, unlike before, she did not turn and run at the sight of a man covered in blood.

Instead, she stood frozen in place, staring blankly as she mechanically called out, "Sebastian.” In the midst of the chaotic scene, the soft sound of her voice melted away the last traces "Chere," he said gently, his earlier danger now completely erased.

of coldness in Sebastian's eyes.

This time, Stephanie did not flee, and Sebastian did not have to chase after her to calm her down.

4/5 Chapter 154 She was going to be by his side for life. Sooner or later, she would have to witness scenes like this. Stephanie needed to understand, from the depths of her heart, exactly what kind of man Sebastian truly was Stephanie's body was stiff as she forced herself to take slow, deliberate steps toward Sebastian. When she was a few feet away, Sebastian pulled her into his lap in one swift motion. His warm fingertips tilted her chin up "Did it scare you?" 515 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
