Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 75 Hearing the voice, everyone instinctively turned toward it, only to see Stephanie standing not far away, clad in a beige coat.

Her hands were tucked into her pockets, and there was a faint, treadable smile on her face.

At that moment, the three of them felt their hearts leap into their throats.

Stephanie strolled toward them with a casual, almost leisurely pace, while Elliot followed closely behind. Elliot's expression was grim.

Even though he had read the reports and knew the details, witnessing it firsthand was something else entirely. "How could they be so ruthless to their own family? he thought.

Stephanie stopped in front of Catlin, tilting her head slightly. "So, you were discussing kidnapping me? For Olivia?" Catlin's nerves were stretched to their breaking point. Of all times, she hadn't expected that Stephanie had to overhear this.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to speak. "J-Just ask Allison and Macro to help.

"And if I refuse?" Stephanie asked, her voice light but sharp. "What then? Are you planning to kill me?" She had heard everything just now. They were willing to go so far for Olivia that they had even considered abducting her and forcing her to make the call. Blood relations? What a joke.

Catlin opened her mouth but found herself utterly speechless in the face of Stephanie's calm but oppressive presence.

Tyler, seeing Catlin being completely overpowered by Stephanie's demeanor, lost his patience.

He stepped forward and shoved Stephanie hard. "Enough! Is this how you talk to your elders!" The moment Stephanie staggered, Elliot caught her effortlessly, then immediately lashed out, his foot slamming into Tyler's abdomen A sharp, searing pain shot through Tyler's body. He clutched his stomach, his face drained of color. "How dare you?" he hissed through gritted teeth.

Catlin hurriedly stepped in to support Tyler, her face pale with shock and rage. "What do you think you're doing?" Chris, meanwhile, locked his gaze onto Elliot. Another man? Who the hell is this now?' he thought, his expression darkening.

Chris could feel the sheer intensity radiating from Elliot. His eyes narrowed dangerously. "Stephanie, chere," he ordered coldly.

At that moment, irritation clawed at his insides.

Why are there always men around her? In just a few days, she has been surrounded by three different men,' he wondered.

Elliot glanced at Chris before turning to Stephanie. “Shall I handle this?" Chris froze. Handle this? What the hell does he mean? He just attacked Tyler; now he wants to fighttoo? he thought..

A surge of anger exploded within Chris, his fury reaching a boiling point. "Stephanie, I said chere!" he demanded, his teeth clenched so tightly they nearly ground together.

1/4 22:09 Mon, 3 Mar Chapter 75 The air around them grew suffocating, the tension so thick it was almost tangible.

Stephanie met Chris' gaze, taking in his slightly gloomy expression and the faint bruises on his arm. After a pause, she said. "Forget it. He's already been heaten ups enough these past few days." Chris' mind buzzed. Humiliation burned through him like wildfire.

Elliot gave a small nod and said to Stephanie. "Then let's go see Mrs. Blackwood." "Alright. Stephanie responded, striding past Tyler and Catlin without a second glance.

Chris watched her with narrowed eyes. Her arrogance made his chest tighten painfully.

Her arrogance made his chest tighten painfully.

"Stephanie, stop right there!" she snapped. Catlin had finally reached her breaking point. Seeing Tyler still curled up in pain on the ground was the last straw.

For the past two years, nothing had gone right when it cto Stephanie. And now, watching her son get beaten like this, she couldn't take it anymore.

Stephanie halted in her tracks and turned back. "What now?" "If you get Allison and Macro to return, I'll agree to any conditions you want," Catlin said, desperation clear in her voice.

Stephanie let out a soft chuckle. "Mrs. Hart, you really know when to bow and when to strike, don't you?" A moment ago, she was talking about kidnapping her own daughter. Now, she was practically begging. Stephanie had seen plenty of shameless people in her life. But Catlin was on another level entirely.

Catlin met Stephanie's mocking gaze and felt her chest tighten further.

But she had no other choice. Olivia's condition was deteriorating by the second.

"I'm sorry. It's all my fault, Catlin whispered.

Not just apologizing, she was surrendering completely. And every single word she spoke was for Olivia.

Stephanie scoffed. "You've got it wrong. My lawyer will contact you soon. When he does, just sign the papers." She was done with them. These people, every moment spent entangled with them only brought her misery. Without another word, she turned and left with Elliot..

Catlin watched her retreating figure, her chest tightening unbearably.

Tyler struggled to get up from the ground, the pain in his abdomen slowly subsiding.

The man beside Stephanie was clearly trained. That single kick felt like it had nearly ruptured his organs.

"What papers does she want you to sign?" Tyler asked.

Catlin froze for a moment before realizing it. Stephanie had meant what she said earlier that she was severing ties with them.

Her anger flared again, her head pounding. "What else could it be? She wants to cut off all ties with us." 2/4 Mon, 3 Mar 481 Chapter 75 Tyler and Chris exchanged looks, momentarily stunned.

Catlin sneered bitterly. "Before, I couldn't understand where she got all that confidence. Now I do." Her voice was dripping with resentment.

Catlin had thought Stephanie's threats to sever ties were just empty words. But now, she understood. Stephanie had powerful people backing her.

"She thinks she can rely on those men and walk away from us? She'll regret it!" Tyler spat.

He was convinced that one day, Stephanie would realize she had made a mistake. And when that day came, they wouldn't give her the chance to take it back. Catlin remained silent, and she agreed with Tyler. "For now, what do we do?" she asked.

"You sign the papers. Let Allison and Macro cback first, Tyler said without hesitation.

He wasn't worried. Once he had gathered enough information on those men around Stephanie, he would deal with her properly Catlin exhaled sharply, nodding. "Right now, we don't have another choice." No matter what, Olivia had to be saved first.

נום On the way to visit Mrs. Blackwood, Elliot kept glancing at Stephanie.

She noticed and sighed. "If you have something to ask, just ask." Elliot didn't hesitate. "Miss Giovanni, you're not the type to endure mistreatment. How did you let those people torment you for two whole years?" Having worked closely with Sebastian for a long time, Elliot had always seen Stephanie as someone raised like a princess, untouchable and invincible.

She wasn't someone who would let herself be used, let alone be dragged down by the members of the Hart family.

Stephanie smirked. "Torment? What torment? I don't think I've suffered at all." Elliot frowned. "But with your personality, shouldn't you have cut ties with them long ago?" More than anything, he couldn't understand how Stephanie had ever been engaged to Chris.

Stephanie chuckled. "You're right. Normally, I would've walked away without a second thought. Butle whysecond I never forgot why I left the Giovanni family...

or why I distanced myself from Sebastian." The moment she mentioned leaving the Giovanni family, a flicker of pain crossed her eyes.

Even after all this time, the memory still stung

Back then, it had hurt so much, so much that it felt unbearable.
