Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

hapter 110 Chapter 110 At the hospital.

Chris was fuming. A shattered arm? He could barely contain his rage.

He barked at Kevin. "I don't care how you do it. Find out who that man is!* Kevin had already hit a dead end investigating him. If it were that easy, he would've found out long ago.

Just as Chris finished getting his wound treated, his phone rang.

Fred's voice was sharp and impatient. "Get to the office. Now." Chris frowned. "You're at the office?" Hearing that Fred had gone to the office, Chris's face darkened.

Since handing over the company to him, their father hadn't set foot in the building for a long time. Thirty minutes later, Chris walked into Ashford Group, his presence alone making employees tense up.

The bruises, the cast-it was obvious this wasn't just saccident.

The second he pushed open the office door, something cflying at him.

A glass of water. Smashed right against his forehead.

Warm liquid dripped down his face, leaving him looking utterly pathetic. Warm liquid dripped down his face, le Kevin, standing behind him, stiffened.

If Fred was throwing things, this was bad.

"Get in here!" Fred roared.

Chris clenched his jaw, stepping inside as Kevin quickly shut the door. Not that anyone outside would dare eavesdrop-who in their right mind would mess with him now? Fred's glare was ice-cold. "What the hell are you doing? You're still tangled up with that Hart girl?" Chris wiped his face and scoffed. "That's why you calledback?" His tone only fueled Fred's anger. "Called you back? Chris, do you even realize what's happening? The Lucano family has already chosen their business partner!" Chris's expression darkened. "What?" "You heard me," Fred snapped. "How are you this clueless?" He truly had no idea-not even the slightest hint.

Seeing his silence, Fred knew immediately that Chris was completely in the dark.

"This deal is practically sealed, and you haven't even met the other party!" Chris's stomach sank. "Who is it?" 1/4 8 Mar Chapter 110 "What?" "Who did the Lucano family pick as their Long Harbor partner?" Chris's voice was ice-cold.

Fred Ashford didn't answer right away.

If he had that information, he wouldn't be standing here arguing-he'd already be face-to-face with the Lucano heir.

But so far, that guy had only met with his chosen partner, shutting everyone else out.

But so far, that guy had only met with his chosen partner, shutting everyone else out. "If I knew, do you think I'd still be here talking to you? Get to the bottom of it, now!" "Chris, if we don't lock down a replacement, do you have any idea how deep we'll be in?" That mineral was the backbone of their operation. Without it, entire production lines would grind to a halt.

The fact that Chris still had the bandwidth to worry about that frail woman? It pissed Fred off.

"If this company goes under, Olivia Hart goes down with it." His tone was sharp, the threat unmistakable.

Chris's expression turned even darker, but inside, his chest tightened.

He knew his father too well, he didn't make empty threats.

And Chris understood just how much was riding on that mineral.

"I got it," he said through gritted teeth.

Fred took a slow drag from his cigarette. "Your mother was right. That woman is nothing but trouble." Trouble. As in Olivia.

Grace had seen through the Hart family years ago. The whole bunch was rotten, and Olivia? Even worse.

Too bad their idiot son was still blind to it.

Chris exhaled sharply. "I'm meeting the Lucano heir soon. Don't worry, the minerals we need aren't going anywhere." Fred scoffed. "You finally give a damn. Letguess, because of her?" Like hell he didn't know Chris was panicking for Olivia's sake.

Just as Chris turned to leave, Fred's voice dropped to an icy tone. "If the deal is signed tomorrow... As for Olivia..." He didn't finish, but Chris felt the threat loud and clear.

His expression darkened. "Leave her alone." Fred flicked his ashes. "That depends on you." ***** Chris had no idea how he even walked out of that office.

2/4 93% Chapter 110 Kevin followed behind, silent and respectful.

The second Chris slid into the car, Kevin handed him a fresh shirt-his was still soaked from that damn water cup.

"You need to get that cut looked at?" Kevin asked, glancing at the wound on his forehead.

Fred hadn't held back.

Chris's voice was cold. "Find out where the Lucano heir is. Now." The Lucano Heir! +13) Hearing that name, Kevin Wright felt a headache coming on. That guy was just as impossible to deal with as the man around Stephanie.

Kevin hesitated. "Actually... I just got a call." Chris narrowed his eyes. "What call?" Kevin hesitated. "The Lucano family's chosen partner, it might be the Hodge family." Chris stiffened. "The Hodges? Jackson Hodge?" Kevin nodded. "Seems like it." The news wasn't fully confirmed yet, but it's looking that way.

Chris's jaw clenched so hard his teeth ached.

Jackson. That bastard had spent years competing with him over everything. And now this? Without another word, Chris grabbed his phone and dialed. The call connected instantly. "Hello?" Chris didn't bother with pleasantries. “You're partnering with the Lucanos?" At the Hodge estate, Jackson was still fuming after dragging Lilian back home.

So when Chris called, he didn't bother hiding his irritation. "What, got a problem?" Jackson snapped.

Chris's tone was sharp. "How'd you pull it off? Guess I really underestimated you."

Jackson let out a dry laugh. “You wanted it so bad? Should've made a move yourself. Don't whine tojust because you lost." Chris couldn't even get a meeting with the Lucano heir, yet he had the nerve to call and complain? Pathetic.

Jackson smirked. "But hey, letmake it easy for you, you could pull every trick in the book, and you still wouldn't land this deal." Because Stephanie wouldn't allow it.

Sebastian guarded his sister like a hawk. If he ever teamed up with Chris, hell would've frozen over first.

Meanwhile, at the Giovanni manor, Stephanie's pulse jumped the second she saw Sebastian pick up his wine glass. Just as he lifted it to his lips, she shot out a hand and grabbed his wrist.

3/4 09:31 Sat, 8 Mar M Chapter 110 Sebastian frowned in confusion. "Stefi?" TII drink for you, Stephanie said, reaching for his glass.

No way she was letting him have another drop.

Dealing with someone who blacked out every tthey drank was beyond frustrating.

He'd gotten drunk before, but back then, he wasn't this much trouble. Now? Two times in a row, and both times he'd completely lost control.
