Chapter 141 Chapter 141 Kevin also noticed the bloodstains on Sebastian's scarf.
At that moment, even though Sebastian hadn't said a word, his entire presence exuded a deadly, suffocating aura.
A cold-blooded killing intent.
Chris remained silent, and Sebastian's sharp gaze locked onto him. "Are you here to harass Stefi?" Chris snapped back to his senses, instinctively holding his breath. "I have something to ask her." Sebastian's eyes narrowed as he strode toward Chris.
His overwhelming presence made even someone like Chris take a half-step back.
Chris wasn't small-standing at about 6'1"- But in front of Sebastian, who was well over 6'3", the difference in stature was noticeable.
Especially now, up close.
Chris could distinctly smell the mixture of blood and alcohol on Sebastian, and he caught the unusual redness in his Chris lifted his gaze, his breathing slightly uneven. "Mr. Giovanni, there are sthings between us that—" Before he could finish, Sebastian's hand shot out, gripping his throat.
Chris's face darkened, literally.
Kevin gasped in shock. "Sir!" This was serious-deadly serious! 76% eyes.
Chris's face turned livid. Instinctively, he wanted to fight back, but Sebastian's grip tightened, completely draining him of strength.
The murderous aura around Sebastian intensified.
"Who gave you the nerve to keep harassing her?" As suffocation set in, Chris felt his body growing weaker, his strength fading fast.
Cold sweat trickled down Kevin's spine.
He stepped forward, summoning all his courage to grab Sebastian's wrist.
"Mr. Giovanni, this is all just a misunderstanding—a misunderstanding!" Sebastian's icy eyes were filled with danger! His lips parting slightly as he said the word, "Misunderstanding?" Chris could feel it now. Sebastian truly had the intent to kill him.
He shut his eyes briefly, then forced out words with great difficulty. "Yes. A misunderstanding." The words left a bitter taste in his mouth.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSebastian was already furious tonight. Now, with Chris right in front of him, that fury had reached its breaking point.
As his grip tightened even further, Chris felt himself on the verge of suffocation.
His body was screaming at him to fight back, but Sebastian's strength made it impossible.
Kevin's breathing quickened. "Mr. Giovanni!" Was this really how it was going to end for Chris tonight? As Kevin grew increasingly desperate, Lorenzo stepped forward and whispered in Sebastian's ear, "Handle that matter first. We can deal with him later." After all, Chris was Fred's only son.
If Sebastian killed him, even if it was futile, Fred would still cfor him.
Sebastian chuckled coldly. “And you think the Ashford family is worth my concern?" That single sentence sent another wave of fear crashing through Kevin. Chris's face had already turned purple.
His gaze locked onto Sebastian, now carrying traces of anger.
No one in Long Harbor had ever dared to look down on the Ashford family like this. But then, thinking about who Sebastian was...
Chris's breathing becmore and more difficult.
Lorenzo said, "They may not be, but the matter at hand takes precedence." Sebastian's eyes narrowed.
After a brief chuckle, he finally released his grip, shoving Chris aside.
Lorenzo was right. The Ashford family? The Hart family? Nothing more than sjokes.
Especially the Hart family, which was already struggling to stay afloat.
Finally able to breathe, Chris gasped for air, staring up at Sebastian.
Sebastian calmly adjusted his cuffs, his tone dangerously soft. "If you cnear her again, I won't just let you off with a warning." Every word carried a lethal threat.
Chris's face darkened. He knew Sebastian wasn't bluffing.
Without another glance, Sebastian turned and walked inside.
Elliot followed closely behind, while Lorenzo, who had stayed back, glanced at Chris before stepping forward and giving him a pat on the shoulder.
"Mr. Ashford, you should be more careful." Showing up to see Stephanie when Sebastian was around? If he hadn't held Sebastian back just now, the man would have actually killed him.

Only Chris and Kevin remained. Kevin hurried forward to help Chris up. "Sir Chris closed his eyes briefly, his hands clenching into fists as his entire body trembled with rage.

If Elliot hadn't dodged fast enough, the door would have smacked him right in the face.
Lorenzo walked over.
"Should we call Marco?" Elliot stiffened. He recalled the spiked drink Sebastian had earlier and quickly pulled out his phone to call Maren But then he hesitated, thinking about how Sebastian had just shut the door in his face.
What was that supposed to mean? Elliot turned to Lorenzo. "Shouldn't we ask him first?" Lorenzo was just speechless at his words.
Ask? "You really think we need to ask? Do you honestly believe he can handle this? That damn Lancelot actually dared to drug him-serves him right for losing his most trusted man tonight!" Lorenzo gritted his teeth.
Sebastian had been drugged.
It wasn't the first tsomething like this had happened, but Marco had always been around in the past.
Elliot thought for a moment before dialing Sebastian's number.
The moment the call connected, Elliot quickly asked, "Sir, do you wantto call Marco?" "Get lost." Elliot was taken aback and couldn't say a word.
What the- Before he could say anything else, the call was cut off.
Lorenzo looked at him. "What did he say?" Elliot said, "He toldto get lost." Lorenzo's mouth twitched. "You really think he can handle it? This isn't something to mess around with." That drug was no joke.
Before Lorenzo could say anything more, Elliot turned and walked off-so fast it practically looked like he was "getting lost".

Seeing how Elliot just left without a word, Lorenzo felt uneasy. After a theasy.

Stephanie was sleeping groggily, but she could feel a pair of intense, m beast-like eyes watching her in the darkness. The gaze was too scorching, making her restless even in her sleep.
Drowsily, she opened her eyes and saw Sebastian sitting by her bed.
Under the dim lighting, his gaze was dark and unfathomable, carrying a dangerous edge. Stephanie instantly snapped awake and sat up in bed. "Sebastian, what's wrong?" Why wasn't he sleeping in the middle of the night and instead sitting at her bedside? And what was with that look in his eyes? She crawled toward him and reached out to touch his forehead.
It was burning hot. Even his skin felt alarmingly warm.
They were so close that she could clearly smell the mixture of blood and alcohol on him.
"Sebastian, where did you go drinking again? And... are you hurt?" Smelling the thick scent of blood, Stephanie felt a pang of panic, her eyes flashing with worry. She quickly reached for the bedside lamp.
But just as she turned, before she could touch the switch, a strong hand gripped her waist. Before she could react, she was pushed down onto the bed.
"Seb..." She gasped in surprise.
Instinctively, she tried to get up, but the next second, the man loomed over her.
She was wearing a silk , the nightgown-thin and light-and- moment Sebastian's burning chest pressed against her back, she felt just how feverish he was. Not to mention the solid firmness of his muscles.
Stephanie's mind momentarily short-circuited.
"What... What are you doing?" No, this wasn't just alcohol.
She suddenly remembered how, two years ago, she had been drugged by Olivia, and her body had felt just like this.
"I'll call Marco right away." Chapter 141 Panic surged through her. She stammered as she struggled to flip over and reach for her phone.
But just as she turned, his burning-hot palm cupped her face.
Then, a forceful kiss crashed down on her lips.
His breath was scalding. Even his lips were terrifyingly hot.
Stephanie's eyes widened in shock, her breath hitching. "Sebastian, snap out of it! Get-get a hold of yourself- Her words were swallowed whole by the man.
It wasn't just Sebastian's reason that drowned, but Stephanie's too.
Hers was on the verge of collapse as well.
