Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 106 Under the bamboo grove, in a small cabin, Elliot walked over with Jackson behind him. Inside, only Sebastian was there, sipping his tea. Jackson quickly stepped forward. "Mr. Giovanni." Sebastian set down his teacup and slowly looked up, his cold gaze sweeping over Jackson.

Behind Jackson, Landyn Hayes felt that look hit him like a blast of freezing air, and he immediately lowered his eyes.

This man's presence was suffocating.

So this was the brother who raised Stephanie? With a man like that backing her, Landyn knew the Harts and Chris were done for.

They really had no idea what they were walking into.

Sebastian spoke calmly, but his words were sharp as knives. "You're asking Stefi to pay you back for something?" Landyn swallowed hard, feeling that chill seep into his bones.

Jackson's stomach dropped too. "Of course not, Mr. Giovanni. I'd never dare." Jackson cleared his throat. "I was just worried the ring might cause sunnecessary misunderstanding. I only cto take it back. But since Miss Giovanni already lost it, it's really no big deal. As long as you don't take it the wrong way." Like hell he'd ask her to pay him back. Judging by Sebastian's attitude right now, Jackson knew if he pushed this, he might not walk out in one piece.

Landyn couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Sebastian really wasn't just anyone-he was the King of Arms from the dark underworld of Fiorenza.

No wonder Jackson who never bowed to anyone, was acting like a total pushover.

Sebastian's voice was low, almost lazy. “So, just to be clear, this whole thing was a misunderstanding? You're saying you have zero interest in my sister?" 'Zero interest...?' Jackson wondered.

Sebastian's tone alone made Jackson's chest tighten again.

Jackson's scalp prickled. "Yes, absolutely zero interest! I have no interest in Ms. Giovanni whatsoever." If he even hinted otherwise, this would turn into a bloodbath.

"I swear, Mr. Giovanni. This was all a misunderstanding." Jackson regretted everything.

When the Harts and Chris were ganging up on Stephanie, he should've stepped in.

If he had, maybe Sebastian would owe him a favor right now.

But back then, Stephanie looked like a nobody-easy to push around. Who knew? Sebastian lit a cigarette, took a drag, then tossed the pack at Jackson.

1/4 Sat, 8 Mar Chapter 106 Jackson caught it with both hands. "Thank you, sir." He pulled out a cigarette and lit up, trying to ease the tension. "Mr. Giovanni, I get you're upset, but I really Before he could finish, Sebastian shot him a look so cold it froze the rest of the sentence in his throat.

Jackson coughed awkwardly and quickly changed the subject. "I've already locked Lilian up at home. You have my word, she won't bother Ms. Giovanni again." There were protective brothers, and then there was this. Jackson couldn't believe anyone could be this obsessed with their sister.

Honestly? He didn't even buy it was just sibling love.

Of course, whatever it was, it wasn't his problem. As long as Sebastian was happy. Jackson would do whatever it took.

Sebastian gave him another icy once-over. "You sure everything's handled?" "Absolutely. And if you're still worried, I can have Lilian thrown in jail right now." Landyn's eye twitched. 'What kind of brother does that?" Even Elliot glanced at Jackson like he was pathetic.

Sebastian took another drag, then flicked his eyes toward Elliot.

Elliot stepped forward immediately. "That's all for today, Mr. Hodge. We'll be in touch if we need anything else." "Mr. Giovanni." Jackson opened his mouth to say more, but Elliot cut him off with a firm smile. "Mr. Giovanni has heard enough." -As Jackson left, he kept sneaking glances at Sebastian, hoping to catch sclue from his expression.

But Sebastian was impossible to read-too calm, too deep.

On the way out, Jackson couldn't resist asking Elliot, "Mr. Grant, does Mr. Giovanni still think there's something going on" Elliot answered flatly, "Our boss isn't that petty." 'Not petty? Seriously?' Jackson thought.

The way Sebastian flipped over a minor argument between Lilian and Stephanie like it was a federal crime-how's that not petty? ***** Once Jackson was gone, Elliot returned to Sebastian's side.

Sebastian asked, "He's gone?" Elliot nodded. "Yes." "What's your take on him?" Sebastian asked, his tone unreadable.

Elliot thought for a second. "Compared to the other options, he's not bad. Ruthless enough when it counts." "Good. Let's go with him." 09:30 Sat, 8 Mar M Chapter 106 Sebastian's voice was ice-cold.

94% Elliot agreed silently. For all Jackson's easygoing act, the way he survived the Hodge family's internal wars made one thing clear-he was willing to do whatever it took.

Sebastian checked the time. It was already lunch, so he called Stephanie.

"Sebastian?" Her voice cthrough, bright as always.

"I'm picking you up for lunch." The moment Sebastian faced Stephanie, all his coldness faded, leaving only his warmth for her.

Stephanie paused. "Huh? I told you I'm eating with Ella." "Cancel it." The word was soft, but there was no room for negotiation.

Stephanie sighed tically. "Fine." "I found a place with fun food." 'Fun food?' She was instantly intrigued.

'What's that?' "Okay, now I'm curious. Hurry up!" Just like that, her curiosity got the better of her. After all, food and fun? No way she could that pass 1. up.

Sebastian chuckled and hung up.

Stephanie quickly called Ella. "Hey, change of plans. Sebastian's takingsomewhere with fun food, so you don't need to cover." Ella was stunned, 'Wow. So I got ditched for the brother again, huh?" "What kind of food is 'fun' anyway?" Ella was pretty sure Sebastian was just messing with Stephanie to get her to tag along.

She was born and raised in Long Harbor, and even she had no clue what this so-called fun food could be. Stephanie shrugged, "No idea." But since Sebastian said so, that was good enough for her. The two chatted a bit more before Stephanie hung up.

About half an hour later, Sebastian's car pulled up.

Stephanie Giovanni went downstairs.

Stephanie walked out of the building and spotted the sleek black car waiting.

Just as she was about to run over, someone grabbed her wrist. It was Chris.

09:30 Sat, 8 Mar Chapter 106 Her expression instantly darkened. "What do you want?" No way.

Chris's face was like thunder. "What's it gonna take? What exactly do you want to bring Macro and Allison back?" Stephanie stared at him like he was insane.

His grip tightened. "Tell me! What's your price?" 94% +13

The moment Chris heard from Catlin that Stephanie tricked her into om signing the disownient papers-only to turn around and refuse to bring Macro Vitale and Allison Pierce back-he completely lost it. Stephanie, on the other hand, had zero patience left for this nonsense.

She yanked her arm out of Chris's grip. "Let go, psycho." "Stephanie Giovanni!" Chris shouted after her.

"What is your deal? You wanna scream, go scream at your mom! Why yell at me?" Chris clenched his teeth so hard his jaw popped. "This woman!'

Stephanie crossed her arms. “Letguess. Catlin didn't explain the whole thing, did she? And you still had the nerve to show up and harass me?" "That's your mother!" Chris growled.

"Cool. And I'm your grandma. Wantto knit you a sweater?" She rolled her eyes so hard they almost got stuck.

Chris' expression turned darker.

'God damn, this woman!' Stephanie shot him a cold look. "The disownment papers are signed. Do you even know what that means?" "She's still your mom! What kind of attitude-"

"Shut up. If you can't figure it out, maybe get your head checked. Wantto knock ssense into you?" Without waiting for an answer, Stephanie raised her hand and smacked him-right on the forehead. The slap wasn't gentle. Chris's skull buzzed from the hit, and his temper exploded all over again.
