Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 111 Chapter 111 Sebastian's lips curled into a fond smile.

70% +5 Across from him, Macro teased, "Well, well, finally learned to care about your big brother? Guess raising you wasn't a total waste." Stephanie shot him a sharp glare. “Just eat your food." Macro scoffed.

This girl had claws. Fierce as ever.

Stephanie was determined not to let Sebastian drink tonight, but her own alcohol tolerance wasn't much better.

Two glasses in, and she was already tipsy.

By the tdinner wrapped up, Macro and Lorenzo were heading out for a gof basketball.

Stephanie, eyes glazed and voice soft with a hint of grievance, murmured, "Seb..." Sebastian pulled her into his arms as the faint sweetness of wine lingered in the air.

His voice was gentle, tinged with indulgence. "Feeling dizzy?" She nodded. "Yes. I wanna go home." "Alright," he said, grabbing his coat from the chair and wrapping it around her. "Let's go home." Those words-let's go home-stabbed at something deep in his chest.

He picked her up.

Lifting her into his arms, he felt her nuzzle against him, her voice laced with drowsy protest. “Liar... You said we were gonna have fun." "What do you want to do, Stefi?” "Something fun... Something tasty." But there had been none of that tonight.

Her misty eyes gazed up at him, and Sebastian let out a low chuckle. "Restless little thing." Stephanie Giovanni squirmed in Sebastian's arms, her pout deepening in protest.

Outside, the wind howled, sharp and cold.

But wrapped snugly in Sebastian's coat, she felt none of it.

Sebastian carried her into the car.

From the driver's seat, Elliot glanced in the rearview mirror. "Miss Giovanni had a bit too much to drink?" Sebastian looked down at her flushed cheeks.

Macro's earlier teasing echoed in his mind, and his expression softened. "Finally learned to care about your big brother." 1/4 Chapter 111 70% +5 Who knew she'd be such a lightweight? Two glasses of wine, and she was already out of it.

Elliot shifted gears. "The Ashford family is scrambling to find you. They must've figured out we've locked in a new business partner.

Sebastian let out a low chuckle. “Good. Let them panic, it'll make it all the more agonizing." Elliot nodded. "They're still trying to sniff out the real owner of Shallow Bay Area." Sebastian smirked. "Seems their people are useless after all." It took much longer than expected.

They were supposed to be the most powerful family in Long Harbor. He had expected more from them.

Clearly, they weren't as capable as their reputation suggested.

Pulling Stephanie's coat tighter around her, he glanced down at her peaceful face.

Elliot thought for a moment. "Fred Ashford hasn't reached out toyet. He probably still doesn't know who's behind all this." "He will soon," Sebastian said coolly.

The moment Fred made contact, Elliot would pass along exactly what Sebastian wanted him to know.

And when that happened, the entire Ashford family would descend into chaos.

Meanwhile, across town, Chris had just ended a call with Jackson when another call cin-from the hospital, It was Catlin Hart.

"Chris, what the hell is going on with your family? Are they really trying to push Olivia to her breaking point?" Chris frowned. "What happened?" "It's your father! He stationed ten men outside Olivia's hospital room. What is he trying to do?" Catlin was nearly hysterical over the phone.

Olivia was already in bad shape, and seeing how both families were treating her had only made things worse. "Chris, she can't take any more stress. Please, tell your father to call them off. What is he thinking?" Olivia had taken one look at the men Fred had sent and fainted on the spot.

She was supposed to be discharged in two days, looking forward to moving into Whispering Bay in Shallow Bay. Instead, she woke up to find herself under surveillance.

Fred wasn't sending guards to protect her-he was making sure she stayed in check.

Chris felt a headache coming on. His father had actually sent ten men to keep Olivia under watch? "I'll handle it." Catlin's voice was tight with frustration. "Chris, I know your family doesn't approve of her, but she's sick! How is she supposed to recover when they're treating her like a prisoner?" 2/4 16:47 Mon, 10 Mar M Chapter 111 70% Chris pinched the bridge of his nose. "I get it." "She should just leave the hospital. Has Whispering Bay been set up? If it's ready, she should move there to rest After what the Ashfords had pulled, there was no way Olivia could stay in that hospital any longer.

The mention of Whispering Bay only made Chris's expression darker.

"It's still being arranged. Just tell her to stay calm and not overthink things," he said before hanging up.

"Still arranging? What do you mean? Is the place not ready yet?" That vague response sent a wave of unease through Catlin.

Chris frowned. "Let's leave it at that. I'll call you later." He didn't have an answer for her and hung up abruptly.

The car was eerily quiet.

After a moment, his voice dropped to an icy tone. "Head to Whispering Bay." Kevin Wright, who was driving, was taken aback.

Kevin, who was driving, hesitated. “But we just got word that the Macro family heir is at Butterfly Garden, fishing Tracking that man's whereabouts had been nearly impossible.

Now that they finally had a lead, shouldn't they go there first? Chris's tone darkened. "Whispering Bay. Now." Kevin didn't press further. "Understood." They reached an intersection. Without another word, Kevin flicked on the turn signal and made a U-turn.

Still, he couldn't help but remind Chris, "Tomorrow, they're reviewing the contract with Jackson Hodge's team." If everything checked out, the deal would be signed on the spot.

There'd be no turning back.

And knowing Jackson, once he got control of those mines, there'd be no chance of Chris getting a cut.

Chris stayed silent.

Ever since hearing that his father had stationed a dozen men outside Olivia's hospital room, he hadn't been able to think straight.

His phone buzzed again.

It was Olivia.

He answered, his voice noticeably softer than before. "Ólivia." Olivia's voice trembled. "Chris, your father..." Even through the phone, the fear and frustration in her tone were unmistakable.

3/4 Mon, 10 Mar Chapter 111 Having ten bodyguards suddenly stationed outside her room-how could she not feel suffocated? Chris kept his voice steady. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

"Chris, I want to leave. I can't stay in this hospital another minute. Please, other letgd, okay?" she pleaded. Seeing how the Ashfords were treating her, how could she not be terrified? Chris exhaled. "Alright. You'll be discharged." There was no way he could say no to her right now.

Olivia hesitated. "Can I leave tomorrow?"

She was originally scheduled to be discharged the day after, but something about this Outom situation-despite Chris's reassurances -filled her with uncase. Maybe it was just her illness, she was afraid she wouldn't make it out of the hospital alive.

Chris felt his headache worsen at the mention of tomorrow.

He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Alright, tomorrow it is." That meant he had to settle the deal for Whispering Bay tonight-no matter what.

His eyes darkened with an icy determination.

Just as he hung up on Olivia, his father's nflashed on his screen. Without hesitation, he declined the call.

He already knew exactly what his father wanted to say.

Soon, they arrived at Whispering Bay, only to be stopped at the gate.

Kevin glanced at Chris, hesitant.

Chris' voice was cold and firm "Go ce was cold: talk to them. need to see the owner." There was no room for negotiation-he wasn't leaving without a meeting.

Kevin Wright nodded with a grave face.

Jackson nodded grimly and reached for the door, but just then, a car passed them and was let in without issue.

Was that... The estate's owner? Something about the car seemed oddly familiar.

Wait- "Sir, isn't that the scar Miss Giovanni got into outside the Eastview Tower earlier?" AB Comment Send gift No Ads Chapter 112 Chapter 112 Chris's expression darkened instantly.
