Chapter 104 Chapter 104 On Jackson's side.
As soon as he left Stephanie's office, he received a call from Landyn Hayes, who, as always, was demanding the ring.
Yesterday, Jackson's mood swing led Landyn to suspect he might have handed the ring to Jessica Lowe.
"Where are you now?" Jackson asked.
"Home. You coming to deliver it?" Landyn replied.
Deliver it? The ring was already nothing but dust. There was no way to recover it unless he planned to rummage through the city dump.
"I'll be there right away." With that, Jackson hung up.
Half an hour later.
Jackson drove to Landyn's place. As soon as he arrived, Landyn demanded, "Where's my ring?" "Get in," Jackson ordered.
"No-I want my ring!" Landyn protested.
Why did he need to get in the car? Landyn wanted his ring back.
"I'm taking you to get it," Jackson replied.
Landyn fell silent.
Get it? From whom?' 'Had that bastard really given the ring to Jessica?' Landyn wondered.
Now, Landyn's anger flared.
He angrily opened the car door and climbed in.
If he didn't get the ring back today, he vowed, he'd never let Jackson off.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLandyn assumed that Jackson was taking him to Jessica's place, but soon, the car's route took an odd turn.
"This isn't the way to Jessica's house. Where are we going?" "You'll know soon enough," Jackson answered cryptically.
"You even sold my ring?" Landyn said.
Jackson's head pounded; he didn't feel like sparing Landyn any more words.
The car drove on for a full hour until it finally stopped in front of a secluded cafe.
1/4 +13 Chapter 104 A waiter approached respectfully, "Mr. Hodge." "Which private room is Mr. Giovanni in?" Jackson asked.
The waiter's face stiffened as he glanced nervously at Jackson.
Pulling a few banknotes from his wallet, Jackson handed them over. "Don't worry, I won't put you in a tough spot.
The waiter hesitated, "I... I'm really sorry, Mr. Hodge." This cafe was owned by Sebastian, and although the place looked elegant and serene, everyone who worked there knew exactly how terrifying the boss could be.
Not to mention Sebastian; even Elliot Grant would scare the hell out of them.
Out of fear, every staff member was utterly loyal.
Landyn, upon hearing the word "Mr. Giovanni" from Jackson, his face drained of color as he stared at him in shock.
'Mr. Giovanni? Is it the one that I'm thinking?' Landyn thought to himself.
The waiter awkwardly returned the money to Jackson. "I'm really sorry, Mr. Hodge." Jackson frowned. "Then I'll go find him myself." "No, you can't barge in like that.' The waiter stopped him.
Jackson glared sharply at the waiter.
The waiter whispered, "I can notify him. You can't just force your way in. If you do, none of our staff here today will escape -the consequences." Sebastian was meeting someone here today.
Elliot was also present.
The waiter leaned over to Elliot and whispered, "Mr. Grant, Mr. Hodge is here to meet Mr. Giovanni." Elliot's face darkened when he heard that Jackson had arrived.
He glanced over at Sebastian, who was sitting opposite an elderly gentleman with grey hair, and said in a cold tone, "Tell him to wait." Now that he had found his way here, he would not give up easily if he didn't see Sebastian.
The waiter nodded and left.
Elliot then approached Sebastian from behind. "Mr. Giovanni, Mr. Hodge is here." Without missing a beat, Sebastian calmly picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee. Just then, his phone buzzed on the table. It was a message from Stephanie. [Sebastian, what should I have for lunch?] The message was followed by a pitiful emoji.
Even through the screen, Sebastian could imagine how obedient Stephanie was.
2/4 ☐☐94% Chapter 104 Without answering Elliot, he picked up his phone to reply.
But moments later, another message from Stephanie arrived. [How about I eat with Ellie?) Ellie was the affectionate nicknof Ella Turner Stephanie would address.
Sebastian had intended to say he'd pick her up, but since she mentioned Ella, she'd likely already made plans.
He replied simply. [Okay.] Then he added, [No spicy food.J This time, Stephanie replied with a crying emoji, A tender smile crept over Sebastian's face as he typed, [Be good.] Putting away his phone, he said to Elliot, "Let him wait." "Alright." Elliot agreed and left.
Sebastian then picked up a chess piece and placed it on the board.
The moment it touched the board, the elderly man opposite him becstern. "You little brat. You really won't give an inch, will you?" Sebastian casually lifted his cup and remarked, "Since when have you ever seenlose?" "Just because you haven't lost yet doesn't mean you can't lose one day. Just wait and see." The elderly man said.
"What?" Sebastian confused.
"Richard Casalini and Mervyn Vaughn have made contact." The elderly man said.
Upon hearing this, Sebastian's expression froze, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. "Mervyn Vaughn?" The elderly man continued, "Yes, you know how Richard feels about Stefi. Otherwise, he wouldn't have indulged Valentina Casalini in that charade. He's been looking for Stefi all these years, too." It was just that Stephanie was too good at hiding.
A chill emanated from Sebastian as he set down his cup, his gaze growing sharper.
He briefly closed his eyes.
The elderly man, Hendrix Ford, glared at him sternly, "That time, you really wanted to wipe him out, didn't you?" Sebastian opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with dangerous intent.
Yes, he had intended to exterminate Richard.
Sebastian asked, "What does the Casalini family have left now?" There was nothing left, so what he did to the Casalini family back then was no different to wiping them out.

Hendrix replied, "They're finished. But you know what kind of underground connections Mervyn had in Yeno. If he managed to get involved with Richard, you'd better watch out." "If he dares return to Fiorenza, he'll find only death waiting for him!" Chapter 104 That incident had forced Richard to flee. If he hadn't, he'd be nothing but ashes by now.
After saying that, Sebastian placed another chess piece on the board, a move that completely sealed off any προετ E winning route for Hendrix. He couldn't say much about Richard Casalini. After all, that bastard had provoked Sebastian's dearest favorite.
"Sofia calledyesterday asking where you all were," Hendrix mentioned.
Sebastian frowned, "What did she want?"
"She heard you found Stefi and wanted to cover. Hold her to wait, so she wouldn't interfere with your disciplining with the girl." Sebastian was speechless.
Outside.
When Jackson heard he was expected to wait, he breathed a sigh of relief-being told to wait meant they were willing to see him.
It was better to be welcomed than shunned.
Landyn, still in shock, turned to Jackson and asked, "Mr. Giovanni-is that the guy from Fiorenza?" He had heard that the man had arrived in Long Harbor.
That was a piece of news that thrilled him, since he'd longed to meet Sebastian but couldn't get in touch.
A man like Sebastian wasn't sordinary people could just approach. 'How does Jackson know him?' Landyn pondered.
Jackson simply grunted in response.
Upon hearing his response, Landyn's eyes lit up with excitement, and he quickly asked, "So what are we here for?" 'Did he sell the ring to Sebastian?' Landyn thought.
If that were the case, Landyn wouldn't dare to ask for it back. He'd treat it as a gift to Sebastian.
"Did you sell the ring to Mr. Giovanni? If so, then I'm not taking it back," Landyn blurted out.
He wished Jackson could tell him earlier.
If the thing he had his eye on was now in Sebastian's hands, it was an honor. And he wouldn't dare try to reclaim it.
