Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 63 Chapter 63 49x Ten minutes later, Chris followed Stephanie into the studio. He took a quick glance around and could immediately tell that the stuhad been around for quite stime.

Looking around, he estimated there were at least several dozen people.

For a studio, that wasn't small at all.

I didn't expect Stephanie to have this kind of power behind the scenes. More than two million dollars in profit a year. That's a huge amount, Chris thought. And she was only in her twenties.

Jennifer poured Chris a cup of coffee, and sensing the tense atmosphere between the two, she quickly excused herself and left.- Now it was just Stephanie and Chris. She crossed her arms and stared at him.

Chris spoke up, his tone firm. "Shut down the studio.

"What?" Stephanie replied, clearly surprised.

"End things with that man, Chris said, his voice even m more resolute.

"What do you mean?" Stephanie asked, completely confused as she looked at him.

Chris repeated. I mean exactly what I said. Neither the Ashford family nor the Hart family needs you out there in the spotlight." "Shut down the studio? Supported by you all? You're offering6 thousand dollars a month? Wow, that's generous." Stephanie mocked him.

That 6 thousand dollars might have been enough to live on in a small town, but in Long Harbor, where space was limited. and everything was expensive, it barely covered basic living expenses. It wasn't even close to living comfortably.

Chris, already frustrated, lit a cigarette. “Don't compare yourself to Olivia. What's going on between us has nothing to do with her." "Whether it does or doesn't matter isn't important. It never really did,' Stephanie said.

Doesn't matter? What's she trying to say? Does she mean our broken engagement had nothing to do with Olivia?' Chris mind raced as he wondered.

This thought made his head feel like it was going to explode right now.

He bit his lip, his eyes narrowing at Stephanie, the intensity in his gaze almost like he was about to devour her. "TII marry you. You'll be my wife" For a moment, Stephanie was stunned. "Wait? Did he just get slapped a couple of times, and now he's lost his mind?' she wondered.

"Marry me?" she asked, unsure if she had heard him correctly.

“Isn't that what you've always wanted?" Chris shot back, his voice unwavering. In that instant, Chris threw everything else aside.

There was only one thought running through his mind. I will marry Stephanie. I have to marry her. Nothing can way of that' the stand in 1/4 22:06 Mon, 3 Mar Chapter 63 Stephanie hissed a breath, clearly thrown off. "I thought you cup here to talk toabout Olivia." Marry me? Is he out of his mind?' Chris blinked, momentarily stunned as she thought.

Chris froze for a moment, his breaths becoming unsteady.

Then, in a flash, he realized what had just happened. Right. I chere to talk to her about Olivia, he wondered. Macro and Allison were critical to Olivia's treatment, but only Stephanie could decide whether they would be involved.

Chris grip on the cigarette tightened. "What will it take for you to agree to let Macro and Allison join the medical team?" Stephanie smiled ans wondered. Now we're getting to the point She took a sip from the glass in front of her and said, "You've been threateningthis whole time, so what's this about?" Chris froze for a second.

Upon hearing her words, his eyes narrowed, and he took a long drag from his cigarette.

He knew she was bringing up old grievances now.

Stephanie continued. "You've cut off my financial support and tried to make it impossible forto get a job. Letguess. If you don't get what you want fromtoday, your next move will be to use this stuto threaten me, right?" Whether it was Allison's situation or Macro's, it was supposed to be Chris and the Hart family begging her. But instead, they were applying both pressure and persuasion.

Chris coldly lified his eyelids and glanced at her, saying, "What do you want?" "What do I want? Since you already know I have this studio, I'm sure you also know how much I make in a year, Stephanie replied.

These people were so used to buying others off with money, and now, they were using money to threaten her as well.

Thinking back to when they cut off her credit card, Stephanie couldn't help but laugh.

Chris' expression grew darker.

Stephanie continued to look at him, saying, "I make more than two million dollars a year. What do I need that I can't buy myself? And no, I'm not a gold digger who's chasing after things I can't afford.

The money I'm making now is enough to handle all my problems. Mr. Ashford, do you really think I need anything from you?" Her words left Chris, the one who was accustomed to solving everything with money, speechless.

Now, Chris had nothing to say in response to Stephanie.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "If you let those two join her treatment team immediately. I will cut ties with her." "Do you think that's what I want?" Stephanie responded.

Chris asked. "Then what do you want?" Stephanie raised an eyebrow and set her water cup down.

Listen to him. What do I want? As if he's made shuge sacrifice in all of this. If I ask for more, it's like I'm ungrateful, being greedy,' she thought.

2/4 Chapter 63 She replied, "What I want? I wouldn't ask for anything from you. You have a bad temper, you're terrible to me, and you have someone else you care about. I make more than two million dollars a year myself; what kind of man can't I find? Why would I need you?" Chris said, "You His mind exploded in an instant. His temples throbbed painfully, and veins popped up all over his body.

Finally, Chris left Stephanie's studio, still lost in thought.

As soon as he stepped outside, he called Kevin. "I don't care how you do it make sure her stugoes bankrupt roday" Thinking of Stephanie's attitude, Chris felt her arrogance. All of her boldness cfrom relying on her studio.

So arrogant. You think you can make money, huh? That's all your sourdem right? Well then I'll just cut off your source: Chris thought On the other end of the line. Kevin didn't hesitate, sensing Chris' fury. "But..." "Is it difficult"" Chris' voice grew even colder as he heard Kevin's hesitation.

Kevin responded. "You want to shut down Miss Giovanni's studio, but it's not that sim The air on the phone instantly becicy.

Kevin continued. "I've been arranging this all morning, but the notices sent out have been met with responses saying they're afraid to end the cooperation." "Afraid?" Chris' expression darkened once more.

The companies working with Stephanie were actually saying they were afraid to stop cooperating with her.

Is that man from Cloudridge Valley more capable than we thought?' Chris wondered.

There's also another company called Skyriver Travel, very bold," Kevin added.

"Bold" Chris asked.

"Yes, they outright called the Ashford Group trash, Kevin explained.

Chris froze for a moment, his breath becoming unsteady.

In Long Harbor, he didn't expect that a company actually dared to openly insult the Ashford family like that.

Kevin said, "I have a feeling that it's the man behind Miss Giovanni who's behind this.” Chris suspected as much.

Now he couldn't shut down her studio, which meant someone was supporting her from behind the scenes Chris closed his eyes, forcing himself to suppress the anger building inside him Kevin had said his piece, now just waiting for Chris' next instructions. "So, what do we do next?" At this point, they had to face one fact they couldn't threaten Stephanie anymore.
