Chapter 105 Jackson had a look in his eye like Landyn was a fool.
Landyn asked, "Why are you givingthat look?" Jackson replied coolly, "Do you really think he would treasure a ring like that?" He wouldn't even want it if it was handed to him on a silver platter. Landyn was acting like someone's trying to pull a fast one on him.
"You're right," Landyn agreed. "So why did you bringhere?" Jackson said, "Because his sister lost the ring." Landyn was stunned.
Wait...
'How did things end up like this?' Jackson asked himself.
"His sister? Which sister?" Landyn couldn't believe his ears.
"No way. Who is Mr. Giovanni's sister?" How could Sebastian's sister lose the ring? What on earth had Jackson gotten himself into? This mess was spiraling out of control.
"Do you know Stephanie Giovanni?” Jackson asked.
Landyn's face went blank. "Who?" "Stephanie Giovanni." Landyn was stunned.
The nsounded familiar to Landyn.
Then it all clicked.
She was the fiancée of Chris once dumped.
"Isn't she the biological daughter of the Hart family? The fiancée that Chris dumped?" Landyn nearly gasped.
Lately, the news of Stephanie and Chris calling off their engagement had spread like wildfire.
It also exposed a harsh truth that the biological daughter's status in the Hart family was even lower than that of an adopted one.
Now he was saying she was Sebastian's sister? 1/5 09:30 Sat, 8 Mar M Chapter 105 Jackson rolled his eyes and corrected him, “Letset you straight. It's Stephanie who ditched Chris." At that time, reports of the canceled engagement were everywhere, and it was clear that Stephanie had been the mastermind behind it.
In plain terms, Stephanie had dumped Chris.
She was the one who dumped Chris.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLandyn was silent for a moment.
Then...
"If she really is Mr. Giovanni's sister, then both the Hart family and Chris are screwed!" That was too wild.
Stephanie was actually Mr. Giovanni's sister? Over the years, the Hart family had treated her like a ghost ever since she returned.
Although she was their biological daughter, the Hart family had never publicly acknowledged her.
Even Mrs. Hart, whenever mingling with her social circle, would introduce Olivia Hart as her daughter.
☐☐☐94%u +13) Even the explosive fallout between Olivia and Stephanie two years ago didn't change Olivia's privileged status at all.
Treating their own daughter like that could never get any harsher.
Jackson nodded, "Yeah, they're pretty much done for." When Landyn heard that Chris was doomed, the excitement in his eyes grew stronger. "But didn't Chris always want to -collaborate with Mr. Giovanni? What's the point now?" As the Hart family's mineral reserves dry up, the Ashford family is desperate to find a replacement.
That mineral was extremely rare.
And it was pure luck for the Hart family to own it.
Now, the only available substitute was in Sebastian's hands.
Their act of offending Stephanie was like stirring up the hornet's nest.
Jackson snorted, "You really think he can still partner up? Dream on! I bet he doesn't even know which last nto claim from Mr. Giovanni now." After all, Chris had been so preoccupied with Olivia lately.
Who knows if the chairman of the Ashford family would even have a heart attack upon hearing the news? Landyn's lips twitched as he asked, "Are you saying Mr. Giovanni takes things personally? Is he really that kind of guy?" His questions darkened Jackson's face, and he replied firmly, "He sure is." Landyn fell silent for a moment, his eyes sparkling with mischief.
Like Jackson, he had long found Chris insufferable.
915 09:30 Sat, 8 Mar M Chapter 105 94% Even the fox preys farthest from his hole. Swapping out the family's sister to be his fiancées, he was really a piece of scum.
"This is gonna be a real show," Landyn said.
Still, he couldn't figure one thing out. "If Stephanie is Mr. Giovanni's sister, why hasn't she ever mentioned it? I mean, that alone wouldn't make her life so miserable in the Hart family, would it?" Jackson shrugged and said, "Do you think she cares about her life in the Hart family?" Landyn went quiet.
Indeed, with the underground emperor from Fiorenza backing her up, who else matters? "Then Olivia went at her hysterically? But she didn't even give a damn." That was spot on.
It also underscored just how foolish the Hart family was. Everyone could see that Olivia wasn't a good egg, yet the Hart family still treated her like a treasure, especially now with her health on the skids.
Stephanie had just sent a message to Sebastian, to see if he was pissed.
Somehow, ever since she had met a guy, she would start to feel uneasy.
Even though she wasn't really interested in them at all.
When Sebastian didn't snap, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then her phone buzzed. And when she checked the caller ID, it was Grace.
She thought for a moment, then hung up and blocked the number.
At this point, she had nothing to do with the Hart family, so she wouldn't bother them anymore.
She despised meaningless small talk, especially from people who fancied themselves as her elders.
Before long, a number from a landline called, she figured it was probably from the Ashford family. So again, she hung up and blocked the number.
When Allison's call cthrough, she answered. "Allison." "The Harts are losing it," Allison said.
"Let them lose it. Are they bothering you?" Stephanie replied.
"Yeah, they just wouldn't stop bugging me. The doctors seeing Olivia had changed in batch, and they just kept bugging me." "It's because it is so damn complicated, like several types of cancer?" "The hospital said it was deteriorating and it's really getting out of control." Raising an eyebrow, Stephanie remarked, "So, Olivia's on her last legs?" Would she be alive to keep the 300 thousand dollars she bet with her? What if she got so worked up and died! 09:30 Sat, 8 Mar M Chapter 105 "We don't know if she'll kick the bucket, but the Hart family and Chris are about to lose their minds." "Did they threaten you?" Threats were just the Hart family and Chris's usual tactic.
From their previous act, they'd practically love to pin her down and squeeze the life out of her.
The word "threat” made Allison chuckle over the phone. "They wouldn't dare.” "You're right." Stephanie agreed.
94% How could she forget that Allison had Calvin Harlow, a man of modest means whom no one dared to provoke, to back her 1. up.
No wonder Chris and the Hart family never dared cross her.
If they did, they'd never cto her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"When are you coming back?" "Calvin toldto stick around here for a while. I'm not heading back anytsoon "Man, you're really gonna drive Chris and the Harts' up the wall." They were probably pining for Allison like kids waiting for a holiday, and now her endless delay was going to drive them crazy.
"If I don't cback, will the Hart family make things though for you?" Since Allison hadn't spoken with Ella on the phone yet, she didn't know that Stephanie was now with Sebastian.
-She was a bit worried that provoking the Hart family might end up costing Stephanie.
"Don't worry. They're too weak to mess with me." "Alright then. If you need anything, just letknow." Allison said.
As long as Stephanie didn't get on the Hart family's bad side, everything would be fine.
She despised the Hart family. She still remembered Mrs. Hart's smug attitude during the Pierce family's downfall.
Talk about karma, now it was the Hart family who were in dire straits.
They chatted a little longer before hanging up.
Later, Stephanie called Ella. The moment Ella answered, she joked, "Having lunch with you again? Sebastian's gonna have a bone to pick with me." A protective bro like him-who would dare keep trying to snatch his sister? They'd probably end up facing his wrath! "Don't worry. He was busy all day." "That works." Hearing that Sebastian would be swamped during the day, Ella finally agreed to meet Stephanie for lunch.
Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to agree. She was afraid of Sebastian's retaliation.
Chapter 105 94% Meanwhile, on Jackson's side.
They had waited a full half-hour for Elliot to show up.
Never before in Long Harbor had make them anyone dared to make them wait like this, yet this time, heither Jackson nor Landyn dared to utter a single word of complaint. Elliot led them inside to what appeared to be a small, unassuming cafe.
As they made their way through the cafe, both Jackson and Landynm couldn't help but notice the presence of numerous bodyguards lurking in the shadows. "Did you see what those men had holstered at their waists?" Landyn asked in a hushed tone, leaning closer to Jackson.
Jackson replied, "What do you think they were carrying?" Landyn fell silent.
Guns, maybe? No wonder Chris was getting the short end of the stick at Sebastian's hands. Sebastian was clearly the kind who wouldn't hesitate to pick his battles.
If he'd really wanted to, he could have wiped Chris off the map.
