Macro almost choked on his laughter at her choice of words for Richard Sebastian frowned, unwilling to let Stephanie stay alone at the hotel now that he knew Richard was on Keris de too Ignoring Macro's presence, he gently tousled Stephanie's hair, asking. Ste are you scared?" That question made Stephanie think back to the first tshe had seen Sebastian's brutal side, on a day when it rained heavily in Fiorenza She had watched him shoot a man in the head, his gentle eyes suddenly filled with bloodlust Terrified, dheld run away from home.
Later, when Sebastian found her hiding between cars and reached out his hand, saying softly; Cout She remembered feeling genuine fear. At that moment, Sebastian, who had always seemed so soft-hearted, turned force R left her shaken.
For a long while after that, she had been compliant, obeying every command, afraid of what he might do Years had passed, yet now, facing his tender gaze again, she knew all too well what ferocity lay hidden beneath those seemingly gentle eyes.
Shaking her head, she replied, Tm not scared" Those words chased away the hesitation in Sebastian's eyes. He pulled her into his embrace and kissed her cheek. Good girl." Stephanie nestled in his arms. "Why is that cold-hearted jerk here? Is it related to what you're dealing with?" She honestly didn't want Sebastian to clash with Richard. Their stay in Paginara was brief, but she sensed Richard wasn't as Chapter 195 down on his luck as Macro had suggested.
Sebastian replied, "It's unclear right now, Elliot will investigate." "I'm telling you, Richard must have power in Paginara. You saw it last night, right?" "Yeah, I noticed." Sebastian knew that Richard had been hiding in Paginara for the past two years. He could piece together what Richard had done in the past.
It had been years since those events unfolded. Sebastian knew all too well what Richard was capable of.

"Why are you looking atlike that?" she asked.
"Have you finally started to think?" Stephanie's brow furrowed, wondering if he was saying she used to be dumb. “What's that supposed to mean? I'm earning more than two million dollars a year now." No fool could earn that much.
The moment she dropped the phrase "more than two million dollars," the car fell silent in a strange way.
Seeing Sebastian not respond, Stephanie couldn't hold back. "What? You really don't believe me?" Sebastian chuckled softly, saying, "I believe you." That single phrase had another tone to it, especially when Elliot cleared his throat, and even Macro, who usually loved to chin, fell quiet.
Stephanie felt something was off." Sebastian, are you hiding something from me?" "Not at all," he said.
"Something is off. You definitely are.” Every tshe mentioned her earnings, he never properly acknowledged her.
Macro, who had been struggling to keep his laughter in, finally burst out. His loud laughter drew everyone's attention.
"What's so funny about my two million?" Stephanie huffed.
Macro kept chuckling.
Stephanie couldn't stand him laughing so loud for long, and he was even leaning forward from the laugh. That, to Stephanie, was provocative.
"What's wrong with you?" Stephanie asked. "I can't make money on my own?" Macro couldn't stop laughing. "I don't know if anything's wrong with me, but you're really naive." Stephanie really wanted to slap him.
Stephanie couldn't stand Macro's laughter anymore. Frustrated, she reached for Sebastian's shirt, saying, "You're definitely hiding something from me." "Are you seriously asking him about that?" Macro snickered.

"You know that 'more than two million dollars' you keep bragging about? Sebastian was worried that V.e you'd starve without it. You think you can handle things on your own? You're just a sheltered flower, thinking you can brave the storm." Stephanie's mind went blank. She instinctively looked up at Sebastian. "You you always knew where I was?" Sebastian pressed her face gently against his chest, not answering.
She insisted. "You have to tell me. I thought you couldn't find me. The moment I used my card, you showed up. I thought..." Sebastian held her against him again. "There were things I had to resolve at the time." "And what about the Hart family? You knew about it too?" she asked. How else would he know to give her the money? Sebastian finally confessed. "I know sthings. Not everything." "Not everything" felt vague. She tried to sit up, but he held her down firmly.
Elliot couldn't keep silent any longer. "Actually, when you fought that girl from the Hart family, Mr. Giovanni figured out where you were." Wait, he knew all the time? Stephanie looked up at Sebastian, her vision clouding with mist.
Elliot continued. "If it wasn't for worrying you'd becsuspicious, Mr. Giovanni was ready to give you hundreds of millions for design fees." Stephanie felt speechless.
Adding to the moment, Macro laughed again. "Right. If I hadn't stepped in he would have thrown so much money at you just to keep you from starving outside." mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
