Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 72 Chapter 72 48% When Tyler brought the news back to the hospital, Catlin was so furious that she ranted for ten minutes. "Damn it! How could I have given birth to such a disgrace?" She insisted. "We must send her away, no matter what. We have to get rid of her." If Stephanie remained in Long Harbor and the high-society ladies found out that she was willing to prostitute herself for smoney-making projects, the Hart family's reputation would be completely ruined.

Olivia was also surprised that Stephanie had left the police station so quickly, and worse, she was taken away by a man.

It seemed they had underestimated her. They had thought she only had Chris, but it turned out she had a backup.

Well, Olivia decided she would see what kind of guy had cto Stephanie's rescue this time.

No matter who it was, she would make sure to take him away. Stephanie would not be allowed to have anything in Long Harbor.

I'm so angry. How dare she!" Catlin fumed, her chest heaving with rage.

Chris was also seething. Is the guy Tyler mentioned Macro, or the one from Cloudridge Valley?" he wondered. Stephanie had no idea about the unfolding at the hospital that night.

After they chand had dinner, Sebastian had gone to his study, followed shortly by Elliot.

Stephanie had just gotten out of the shower and lay down on the bed when she received a call from Ella. "Stefi, I got wind that Chris and Tyler are teaming up to shut down your studio." Ella said, "My mom received strict orders not to collaborate with you and askedto pass it along.” They had been working behind the scenes before; now it seemed they were going all out.

Shut down my studio! Hmph, just how much do those people listen to Olivia? she wondered.

"Thank Mrs. Turner for me. Let her know I have plenty of projects lined up, and she doesn't need to worry," Stephanie replied.

"She's given you a big project," Ella added.

Stephanie was momentarily stunned. Ella envied her, while Stephanie envied Ella for having such a wonderful mother.

"Then thank her for me," Stephanie said.

"No problem. Do you need any more help over there? I guess you won't. Let Sebastian take care of them," Ella suggested.

Previously, Ella might have been worried that Stephanie couldn't handle the Hart family, but now there was no need.

With such a powerful brother, taking them down would be a piece of cake.

Stephanie said. "I don't need Sebastian's help. I've got my own plans. If he steps in, everything gets wrapped up too quickly: where's the fun in that?" Ella replied, "True. If you're going after Olivia, you have to cut deep, one slice at a time. Letting her off easy would be way too merciful," 14 22:08 Mon, 3 Mar.

Chapter 72 Seeing that Stephanie was in a good mood, Ella felt reassured.

The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up.

Just then, an unknown mumber popped up on Stephanie's screen.

This time, she didn't decline the call. She answered, "Hello?" "Was it Macro who bailed you out, or was it that man? Chris' voice cthrough, gritted and furious.

48 +13) Stephanie had no idea why he was so pissed off but guessed it had something to do with her release.

After all, back then, Chris, Tyler, and Catlin were all eager to seepay for Olivia. Looking at it now, their righteous outrage was nothing more than ridiculous arrogance.

Stephanie let out a soft chuckle. "Does it really matter who gotout? It wasn't you, that's for sure, my dear ex-fiancé." The moment those words hit Chris' ears, they felt like needles, sharp and piercing.

He had already been boiling with anger, and Stephanie's careless tone pushed him over the edge.

His voice turned ice-cold. "Stephanie, do you have no self-respect! Throwing yourself away like this? What do you even get out of it?" "Well, for starters, I sure as hell won't be staying single for you. You're not worth it. Stephanie shot back.

Chris froze for a second. An almost violent urge surged through him to shut her up, to sew that mouth of hers shut.

"Where are you right now?" he asked.

What do you want?" Stephanie asked, her tone amused.

I'm on my way to Cloudridge Valley. You'd better tell that man of yours to get lost, Chris said.

Stephanie smirked. “You still have the nerve to go to Cloudridge Valley? Is your hand even healed yet?" The second those words left her mouth, the air on the other end of the call grew suffocatingly tense.

Chris instinctively glanced down at his left arm, still wrapped in a cast. His grip on the phone tightened as he gritted his teeth. "You- Stephanie let out a peal of laughter. "Are you trying to fight for Olivia's honor? Hate to break it to you, but you're only setting yourself up for disappointment. If I were you, I'd be more careful. You don't want to cross the wrong man, right?" "Stephanie?" Chris snapped, his voice laced with fury. But before he could say another word, the line went dead. The beeping tone that followed only fanned the flames of his rage. With a furious growl, he threw his phone against the dashboard.

He had never, in his entire life, been this humiliated. No one in Long Harbor had ever dared to provoke him like this.

"If you don't find out who that man is by tonight, then don't bother showing up tomorrow, Chris barked.

Kevin, who had been driving, nearly jumped out of his skin. A cold sweat broke out on his back.

He still hadn't managed to dig up any intel on the man..

2/4 22:09 Mon, 3 Mar Chapter 72 But Chris was desperate for answers.

Whoever this mysterious figure was, he had suddenly appeared in Long Harbor out of nowhere.

Who the hell is this guy? And why is Stephanie involved with him? he wondered. The thought of it sent Chris fury skyrocketing He lit a cigarette and took a deep, aggressive drag. "I don't care what it takes. Bring in Zane if you have to." 48% Kevin's hands tightened on the wheel. He had not expected Chris to go so far as to involve Zane. That only meant one thing: he had to find out the man's identity as soon as possible.

Kevin gave a firm nod. "Understood." Just as Stephanie hung up on Chris, her phone rang again; this time, it was Tyler. She picked up.

Since they've spent the past few days trying to crush me, it's about tI put them back in their place, she wondered.

On the other end of the line, Tyler, much like Chris, had no patience for pleasantries. “Who was the man that bailed you Stephanie's voice took on a smug, taunting edge. "Does it really matter? At least it wasn't you, my dear brother." Her words, drenched in mockery, were identical to what she had said to Chris earlier.

And just like Chris. Tyler found the way she addressed him unbearably grating.

For a brief moment, his chest tightened

Fighting to keep his temper in check, he said, "Stephanie, you are part of the Hart family. Who gave you permission to disgrace us like this?" "What exactly did I do?" Stephanie asked, her tone lazy, almost indifferent.

"Who is that man? The one you're with?" Tyler demanded.

"He's the man I like. The man I love, Stephanie said, her voice unwavering.

Just as she spoke, the door swung open. Sebastian had just stepped in when he heard those words. His hand, gripping the doorknob, went stiff.

Stephanie, on the other hand, was caught completely off guard. Her heartbeat stuttered, her chest tightening. It was such a coincidence.

Their eyes met. His gaze, deep and unreadable, bore into hers. A sudden wave of heat rushed to her face, her cheeks flushing. Subconsciously, her eyes flickered away in the slightest bit of guilt

Meanwhile, on the other end of the call, Tyler's fury erupted. "The man you love? You just broke off your engagement with Chris! Do you have no shame, Stephanie?" He could not believe it. She had barely ended things with Chris, and she was already claiming to love another man.

Sebastian, noticing that she was on a call, quietly stepped back out of the room, closing the door behind him. The moment the door shut, Stephanie's fleeting hesitation vanished. Her fighting spirit flared back to life. "Shame?" she scoffed. "You're one to talk. You got a woman pregnant, refused to marry her, and still ke 3/4 kept things murky with 22:09 Mon, 3 Mar Chapter 79 Lilian You, of all people, have the audacity to lectieabout shame?" 4/4 AD Comment mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
