Chapter 176
Chapter 176
Under the bamboo grove, in a small cabin, Elliot walked over with Jackson behind him. Inside, only Sebastian was
there, sipping his tea. Jackson quickly stepped forward. “Mr. Giovanni.”
Sebastian set down his teacup and slowly looked up, his cold gaze sweeping over Jackson.
Behind Jackson, Landyn Hayes felt that look hit him like a blast of freezing air, and he immediately lowered his
eyes.
This man’s presence was suffocating.
So this was the brother who raised Stephanie?
With a man like that backing her, Landyn knew the Harts and Chris were done for
They really had no idea what they were walking into.
Sebastian spoke calmly, but his words were sharp as knives. “You're asking Stefi to pay you back for something?
Landyn swallowed hard, feeling that chill seep into his bones.
Jackson's stomach dropped too. “Of course not, Mr. Giovanni. I'd never dare.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJackson cleared his throat. “I was just worried the ring might cause sunnecessary misunderstanding. | only
cto take it back. But since Miss Giovanni already lost it, it’s really no big deal. As long as you don’t take it
the wrong way.”
Like hell he'd ask her to pay him back. Judging by Sebastian's attitude right now, Jackson knew if he pushed this,
he might not walk out in one piece.
Landyn couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Sebastian really wasn’t just anyone-he was the King of Arms from the dark underworld of Fiorenza.
No wonder Jackson who never bowed to anyone, was acting like a total pushover.
Sebastian's voice was low, almost lazy. “So, just to be clear, this whole thing was a misunderstanding? You're
saying you have zero interest in my
sister?”
‘Zero interest...?* Jackson wondered.
Sebastian's tone alone made Jackson's chest tighten again.
Jackson's scalp prickled. “Yes, absolutely zero interest! | have no interest in Ms. Giovanni whatsoever.”
If he even hinted otherwise, this would turn into a bloodbath.
“I swear, Mr. Giovanni. This was all a misunderstanding.”
Jackson regretted everything.
When the Harts and Chris were ganging up on Stephanie, he should've stepped in.
If he had, maybe Sebastian would owe him a favor right now.
But back then, Stephanie looked like a nobody-easy to push around. Who knew?
Sebastian lit a cigarette, took a drag, then tossed the pack at Jackson.

Jackson caught it with both hands. Thank you, or
He pulled out a cigarette and lit up, trying to case the tensions.Gloves, 1 get you're uper, but | really.”
Before he could finish, Sebastian shot him a look so cold is froze the rest of the settence in his throat
Jackson coughed awkwardly and quickly changed the subject. The already locked Lilian up at home. You have my
word, the won't bother Mc Giovanni again
There were protective brothers, and then there was this Jackson condit bekere anyone could be this obsessed
with their sister.
Honestly? He didn’t even buy it was just silding love.
Of course, whatever it was, it wasn’t his problem. As long as Sebastian was happy, jackson would do whatever it
took
Sebastian gave him another icy once-over. “You sure everything's handled?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Absolutely. And if you're still worried, | can have Lilian thrown in jail right now?
Landyn’s eye twitched. What kind of brother does that?
Even Elliot glanced at Jackson like he was pathetic.
Sebastian took another drag, then flicked his eyes toward Elliot.
Elliot stepped forward immediately. “That's all for today, Mr. Hodge. We'll be in touch if we need anything else.”
“Mr. Giovanni
Jackson opened his mouth to say more, but Elliot cut him off with a firm smile. “Mr. Giovanni has heard enough”
-As Jackson left, he kept sneaking glances at Sebastian, hoping to catch sclue from his expression.
But Sebastian was impossible to read-too calm, too deep.
On the way out, Jackson couldn't resist asking Elliot, “Mr. Grant, does Mr. Giovanni still think there's something
going on?”
