Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 134 Jackson had already returned to the city.

92%1 At this moment, he had just stepped out of a meeting. After answering a call from Sebastian, he couldn't suppress the smirk on his lips.

When Rebecca walked in, the first thing she saw was the gloating expression hanging at the corner of his eyes. "Mr. Hodge, here are the documents you need to sign.

Just as the words left his mouth, Jackson's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, and the smirk on his lips deepened.

It was Chris.

Jackson picked up. "Hello?" "You've already signed the deal with the Lucano family?" Even through the phone, Jackson could hear the gritted teeth in Chris's voice.

His laughter carried an unmistakable schadenfreude. "What do you think? Should I have waited for you to negotiate first, only stepping in if you failed?" "You got held up because of a woman-you can afford to drag things out, but I don't have that kind of patience." Chris was already furious and silent.

Hearing this, Chris's breathing grew uneven.

He clenched his jaw. "Why did the Lucano family choose you?" Jackson chuckled. "Obviously, because I'm not in a relationship." Chris almost bit his teeth, but couldn't say anything to fight back.

Rebecca was speeachless and thought, 'Seriously, what kind of infuriating answer was that?' Chris was practically seeing red now. If Jackson were in front of him, he'd have ripped him apart already.

But Jackson wasn't done twisting the knife.

"If you ask me, you don't even have tto worry about the Lucano deal right now. Olivia's life is way more important." That last sentence was laced with pure mockery.

Chris was so furious that he hung up on the spot.

Listening to the disconnected tone, Jackson shrugged carelessly. "Serves him right.” How long had Mr. Giovanni been in Long Harbor now? And yet, Chris still had no clue who the guy was. Worse, he had even picked a fight with him, got himself beaten up, and thoroughly offended the man.

In other words, he took those punches for nothing.

Jackson glanced at Rebecca. "Go pick out a piece of jewelry-something girls like." 1/4 07:05 Tue, 11 Mar Chapter 134 Rebecca shuddered. "Is this for Miss Giovanni?" Jackson flipped open a document. "Mr. Giovanni's little sister-we'd better treat her well." He had figured it out by now.

Stephanie held a special place in Sebastian's heart.

Rebecca's lips twitched. "Present again?" Was he serious? She still remembered how awkward it had been the last tthey sent Stephanie a present. Jackson said, "That's why I'm letting you pick. Don't get something that could be misinterpreted." Rebecca grew even more hesitant.

A man giving a woman a gift-no matter what it was, wouldn't it easily lead to misunderstandings? Before she could voice her thoughts, Jackson's phone rang again. This time, it was Lilian.

His tone immediately turned impatient. "How did you get your hands on a phone?" This was a critical phase of his collaboration with Mr. Giovanni. The last thing he needed was for Lilian to go stirring up trouble with Stephanie again.

So he had locked her up and confiscated her phone.

"Jackson, please, just letout. I swear, I know I was wrong." Hearing her apology, Jackson remained unmoved.

Lilian pressed on. "I promise I won't mess with Stephanie again. I really won't." After learning Stephanie's true identity, she felt utterly unwilling to accept it.

That girl they used to look down on... had somehow surpassed her.

The Harts treated Stephanie worse than a dog, yet now- "...Jackson, can I ask you something? What's the relationship between Stephanie and Mr. Giovanni?" Jackson's eyes flickered with thought.

He replied curtly, "That's none of your business." "Is she his lover?" "You-" "She must be something special, huh? Managing to seduce a man like Mr. Giovanni... Tell me, what exactly did she do to catch his eye?" One question after another flew at Jackson.

His tone turned icy. "Is this what you've learned from spending all these years with Olivia? How to tear people down?" Lilian stiffened. "No, I just-" 2/4 +13 Chapter 134 "She's Sebastian's adoptive sister." What?" Lilian's jaw dropped into an 'O' shape.

92%1 Wait, what?! Jackson didn't bother explaining further. When had it started? When had he grown so fed up just hearing Lilian speak? Probably ever since she got mixed up with Olivia.

Ever since she started hanging around the Harts, her mouth had gotten filthier.

Jackson had been in a decent mood earlier, but now Lilian had completely ruined it. "Stay locked up.” With a mouth like that, she'd only cause trouble if she were let loose.

At this point, Jackson was certain-he wouldn't let her out until Mr. Giovanni took Stephanie and left Long Harbor. Sure, the contract was signed.

But if Sebastian changed his mind, Jackson wouldn't even get the chance to object.

Just to be safe, he had to keep Lilian locked up.

Hanging up on her, he immediately called the butler. "If she gets her hands on another phone, you can quit.” "Yes, sir!" The butler sounded both nervous and respectful.

Jackson ended the call and turned back to Rebecca.

"Forget picking a gift." "A girl raised by Mr. Giovanni has seen all the best things. If we don't impress her, we might just end up offending him instead." No point in risking that.

"Understood." Rebecca exhaled in relief.

Mount Spring.

Stephanie tossed and turned in bed.

She was never a still sleeper, and Sebastian worried she might feel inwell after drinking, so he stayed in her room to keep watch. Sitting on the sofa with his laptop, he worked on sdocuments.

Meanwhile, Stephanie turned over, pulling the blanket aside. Her delicate, fair legs peeked out from beneath her nightgown.

Chapter 134 92% Especially her pink-tinted ankles, round and adorable.

Sebastian's gaze swept over, a flicker of heat passing through his eyes.

Setting his laptop down on the coffee table, he stepped forward and reached out to tuck the blanket back over her.

But Stephanie had already pinned it down in her sleep, making it impossible to pull.

Sebastian sighed helplessly. He bent down and lifted her slightly to free the blanket. The movement stirred Stéphanie awake. She blinked drowsily, her voice soft as she murmured, "Seb..." The scent of wine lingered in her breath. The black coffee she had earlier didn't seem to have worked.

Sebastian responded with a low hum, covering her legs properly with the blanket.

Just as he was about to rise- Stephanie suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck.

Sebastian paused. “Hm?" "Do you like me?" His eyes froze for a second. "Still not sober?" "Do you likeor not?" Sebastian sighed. "I do." "How much?" He fell silent.

Drunk Stephanie was especially clingy- Especially now, with that sweet, sleepy look on her face.

Leaning closer, his warm breath brushed against her neck, his deep voice carrying a slight rasp. “How En much does my Stefi like me?" "A whole lot, a whole, whole lot," Stephanie replied in her soft, dreamy tone.

Even though she was intoxicated, her words still melted away the last trace of coldness in Sebastian's heart.
