Chapter 201 Chapter 201 Just then, Macro's voice cthrough the line, brash and unfiltered, "Hey, Mr. Casalini, this Theodore guy is such a cryorary Do you think he can handle my little experiment?" Richard's eyes turned cold, narrowing with a hint of danger.
Theodore, who had been begging Richard for help just moments ago, exploded in anger, "Who are you calling a crybaby, you insensitive jerk?" Macro was confused, but he still replied, "I'm talking about you, man" Without warning, Macro pressed the scalpel against Theodore's neck and glanced at Richard on the phone. "Mr. Casalini, shall we start with his carotid artery?" Stephanie's heart skipped a beat. The carotid artery-that was a death threat if she ever heard one.
Richard's voice was chillingly calm. "Do you really think Theodore matters to me?" Theodore cried, "No, Richard-" "Forget it. Kill him if you want. He means nothing to me. But what about Stephanie? She's so delicate. Have you thought about that, Sebastian? "I'm not as gentle as you. If she gets hurt or looks a little worse for wear, don't blme," Richard said, his tone dripping with malice.
Macro's response was swift. "Fine. I'll just kill him now." The scalpel sliced into Theodore's neck, and he let out a scream of agony, trying to grab the scalpel from Macro. In an instant, they were locked in a brutal fight.
Meanwhile, Stephanie grabbed Richard's wrist and bit down hard, her teeth sinking into his flesh.
Richard hissed in pain. "Ugh! Stephanie, biteagain?" The situation on both ends of the call spiraled into chaos.
Macro roared, "Theodore, you piece of trash. I'm going to make you pay!" Richard shouted, "Stephanie, you crazy woman! Let go of me." Earlier, she had hit him with a steel showerhead, and now she was biting him. Richard's head was still ringing from the impact, and he couldn't believe she was still going at him.
Stephanie had no intention of letting go. She had finally gotten the upper hand, and she wasn't about to let it go. There was a loud bang from the other end of the line, followed by a brief, eerie silence.
Theodore stared at Sebastian, his eyes wide with fear, blood trickling down his leg. For a moment, he forgot the pain, but then he let out a scream that could curdle blood.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSebastian looked at Richard on the screen. "Not important?" Richard replied immediately, "Leave him alone" Sebastian just said, “Release Stephanie, and you'll get what you want." 1/4 99% 1 Chapter 201 Richard's anger flared. "Givewhat I want first.' " At that moment, Richard realized that holding Stephanie was his only leverage against Sebastian. If he gave her back, hey lose his bargaining chip.
"Richard." Sebastian's voice cut through the tension.
"Just hurry up," Richard growled.
He hung up abruptly, then grabbed Stephanie's chin, his grip tight and menacing. "Try bitingagain, and I'll knock your teeth out." Richard was seething. He'd never imagined Stephanie would have the audacity to bite him. She was unpredictable and reckless, and it was driving him crazy.
"Go ahead," Stephanie taunted, opening her mouth wide, her teeth still stained with his blood.
Richard's anger surged, but he knew better than to act impulsively. "If I hurt you now, Sebastian will be afterin an instant. I'll deal with you later. After I get what I want," he muttered, shoving her away roughly. Stephanie just rolled her eyes again.
Richard's frustration boiled over. She knew he wouldn't really hurt her, and that realization only made him angrier.
He glared at her, his temper barely in check. "Just tellthe truth. Did Sebastian get that thing or not?" he demanded. He didn't trust Sebastian's words over the phone.
Stephanie raised an eyebrow. "Will you believe what I say?" Richard's eyes narrowed. Of course he would doubt her answer. After all, everyone knew she was on Sebastian's side.
***** Sebastian sat there, an unsettling chill radiating from him.
Macro, having just dragged himself through the water, was exhausted. As he heaved himself out, he saw Sebastian pinning Theodore down. With Theodore's injured leg, he was no longer a threat. Macro was so drained that he collapsed onto the ground, too tired to move.
Elliot returned and was taken aback by the sight of Theodore. "Sir," he muttered, his voice tinged with surprise. "Go and bring Bernie back," Sebastian commanded, his tone flat but firm.
Elliot paused, his mind racing. 'Bring him back? We just sent him away." After driving Bernie off the yacht, Elliot had a pretty good idea of Sebastian's intentions. It was all part of a clever gto assert control-the first step to show that no matter where they were, Sebastian was the one in charge.
Based on his understanding of Sebastian, Elliot knew there was definitely a plan in place. This move was... strategically necessary. Bringing Bernie back would likely achieve the desired effect.
Without overthinking it, he nodded. "Yes, I'll do it right away," he said, his voice steady. Elliot then left.
Macro looked at Sebastian, his voice softening. “With Richard holding them, you can relax. He won't do anything to Stefi." Everyone knew about Richard's feelings for Stephanie. Things should have been fine. But who would have thought that Richard and Sebastian would end up on opposing sides, making it difficult for him to see Stephanie? When his grandfather was alive, Richard had shown a strong interest in Stephanie. But then his grandfather died in an 2/4 98% Chapter 201 +53) accident, and his family underwent a significant change. Richard and Sebastian found themselves in a completely different situation, one where everything had changed.
Bernie was dragged back by Elliot and his men, his face a mess of bruises and swelling. It was clear he'd been roughed up before being tossed off the yacht.
He'd almost made it away, but now he was back in their grasp. Fuming with rage, Bernie shouted, "Mr. Giovanni, what is this about? Are you trying to burn all your bridges with Keris Isle?" Bernie's brother Bert was the real power behind the island, and offending him would mean cutting off all ties with Keris Isle.
Sebastian's cold, piercing gaze fell on Elliot, who nodded and stepped. m to forward, delivering swift kick to Bernie's knee. Bernie stumbled and fell to his knees, the breath knocked out of him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSebastian's hands were clasped behind his back, his eyes fixed om Bernie with a chilling intensity. "I told you' before, I want that thing," he said, his voice flat but menacing. The politeness he'd shown earlier was gone; now, he made it clear he intended to take it by force and paid nothing in return.
Macro, used to Sebastian's assertiveness, sat off to the side, seemingly unfazed by the tension.
Theodore felt a cold knot in his chest. If Richard kept holding onto Stephanie, he could easily beca target for Sebastian's wrath at any moment.
Bernie, sensing the danger in Sebastian's tone, insisted, "I don't have it on me." "Really?" Sebastian's voice dripped with skepticism.
Bernie tried to reason with him. "Letgo first, and send someone withto get it." Sebastian let out a cold, mocking laugh. His gaze turned even more dangerous as he looked at Bernie.
"I swear, I don't have it on me," Bernie repeated, desperation creeping into his voice.
Sebastian turned to Theodore, his eyes narrowing. "Did you hear that?" Theodore was silent for a moment, realizing with a sinking feeling that he was being used as a witness.
Sebastian's voice softened, almost gentle. "Theodore, you've grown up withwatching over you. You know how important Stefi is to the Giovanni family, right?" But Theodore felt a chill run down his spine. He glanced at the gun Sebastian was idly twirling in his hand and replied, "Understood." "Do you want Richard to live?" Sebastian's question hung in the air like a threat.
Theodore's heart skipped a beat. He knew they couldn't touch Stephanie. With just one word from Sebastian, they migh make it off the yacht alive.
"I'll call him right away," he said without hesitation, glancing at Macro, who had taken his phone.
Macro tossed the phone to him, "Talk to your brother properly. Why pick on Stefi of all people? Xhe needs a hostage, he should takeinstead. I'm tough. Sebastian wouldn't get so angry then, would he?" He shook his head and thought, ‘Sebastian and she have just enjoyed sintimate moments. Taking her now is like asking for trouble. It'll only push Sebastian to the edge.' 3/4 09:40 Fri, 21 Mar Chapter 201 A Theodore paused, his mind racing. 'Isn't making him angry exactly what we wanted? I was careless. How did I end up so close to Sebastian?' mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
