Seeing her nervous face, Sebastian chuckled and pecked her lips. Stel, who do you think would dare mess with w Stephanie stayed quiet.
Sebastian ruffled her hair, rolled off, and wrapped his arms around her. "Silly girl, he murmured, his voice dripping with affection and a hint of frustration at her fear.
Stephanie smuggled into his embrace, finding a comfy spot to lean against. She knew there was no way she could poth Sebastian away now, so she just let him have his way.
It had always been like this since they were kids. In her world, Sebastian always had the final say.
He had always been the one calling the shots. Their relationship had reached a point where she no longer felt she could make decisions on her own.
Sebastian kissed her forehead, but it wasn't enough, not even close. With just a touch, he was already craving more Stephanie felt the change in him and tensed up. "Sebastian, I'm still hurt, she blurted out, calling him by his nin a panic.
Hearing his nfrom her lips, Sebastian couldn't hide the smile spreading across his face. He never thought his nwould sound so good coming from her. "I know,” he replied in his deep, smooth voice.
"Then why..." she started, but couldn't finish. If he didn't leave soon, things might spiral out of control. Especially how he acted last night after being drugged, it was awkward yet forceful. It was clear he was just discovering the taste of it all.
Right now, Sebastian would only crave more, probably even beyond his own control.
"It hurt a lot when I just applied medicine," Stephanie said quietly, seeing that he had no intention of leaving. Sebastian raised an eyebrow. “So what do you suggest?” His deep voice had a hint of something off-kilter, like he was already struggling to keep himself in check.
"Huh?" Stephanie was confused. Of course, he needed to leave. She was still injured.

"You're such a delicate little thing," he teased.
Sniffling, Stephanie replied, "It's because you spoiled me." She was afraid that if Sebastian got forceful now, she wouldn't be able to escape.
Sebastian kissed her forehead again. “Yeah, I spoiled you. I spoiled you rotten,” he admitted, including her unru temper, which he'd indulged since they were kids.
"Then go back to your own room." Stephanie pushed against his chest. There was no way they could sleep together. If they kept going like this, something would definitely go wrong.
She didn't want to get hurt anymore. But Sebastian still had no intention of leaving. Just as Stephanie was about to insist, he 1/4 Chapter 157 suddenly grabbed her soft hand. Stephanie's eyes widened in confurtion.
At the Hart residence, Olivia said to Tyler. "The Lucano family is an arms dealer from Fiorenza. They're not that simple They're involved in both legal and illegal dealings" "Stephanie would face all kinds of threats if she stayed with them. Tyler, she's your own sister, so you should find a way to get her out of the Lucano family, Olivia urged.
Tyler frowned, "Olivia, you..." "It doesn't matter to me," Olivia interrupted. No matter what, she couldn't let Stephanie stay with the Lucano family if Stephanie kept relying on them, Olivia would be doomed.
She was so jealous of Stephanie being with the Lucano family that it drove her crazy.
Tyler sighed, "That ungrateful girl would never want to cback to the Hart family, and you know it." "But we have to try to bring her back. People in the underworld live on the edge. Life is unpredictable for them, Olivia insisted.
What a fool. It was just a piece of cake to bring Stephanie back from the Lucano family. Seeing Tyler's attitude, Olivia was about to explode with frustration.
She thought to herself, 'If Stephanie comes back to the Hart family, maybe I can be nice to her and she will stop making things difficult for me.
She had a bad feeling about her plan to go abroad and wasn't sure if it would even work out.
"Forget it. Let's focus on getting you out of Long Harbor first," Tyler said.
Over the years, Olivia had deeply affected the entire Hart family. As for Stephanie, with everything that had happened recently, Tyler wasn't particularly keen on her. He was indifferent to her fate.

From the beginning, they never expected that Stephanie would be the daughter raised by the Lucano family.
And judging by how much the Lucano family had been searching for her over the years, they seemed to cherish her a lot.
Catlin was seething. "Why did I even have her? I should've left her with the Lucano family. We got nothing out of it, just a ton of trouble," she griped, recalling the mess Stephanie had made for the company lately.
Tyler wanted to say something but was interrupted by his phone ringing. He answered, "Hello." "Mr. Hart," cthe voice of Olivia's assistant, which was not very pleasant and even a bit serious.
Tyler coldly replied with a single word, "Speak." "Ms. Hart may not be able to go abroad," the assistant said.

It she couldn't go abroad, she could at least move to another city, anywhere but Long Harbor. Once she was elsewhere, they could figure a way out.
"Other cities are not an option either. Ms. Hart is restricted from leaving Long Harbor. I've already tried, the assistant replied.

"How could she do this to Olivia? Does she really want to kill Olivia? I'm going to call your father," Catlin said, pulling out her phone and dialing Chad's number.
But the call was cut off after just two rings. She tried again, only to be hung up once more.
At that moment, Tyler's phone rang again. It was from the company.
As soon as he answered, the project manager's serious voice cthrough, “Mr. Hart, the Nexus Company has decided to stop cooperation." "What?" Tyler exclaimed.

Tyler was stunned. The Nexus project was one of the few valuable projects left for their company. If this continued, it would be devastating.
"Is my father there? Is he already in a meeting discussing a solution?"Tyler thinking that his father should aşk have arrived at the company by now.
"Mr. Chad Hart? He's not at the company," the project manager replied, clearly stressed.
