one really knew we were coming. Maybe she cwith Mr. Hodge?”
Kevin knew better than to reveal Chris's whereabouts to anyone.
After he mentioned about just coincidence, however, Chris's cold demeanor beceven more apparent.
Kevin wasn’t entirely convinced that she cwith Jackson, but he kept his thoughts to himself.
“Find out who she cwith,” Chris ordered, his expression ice-cold.
Kevin nodded, but he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Stephanie had just finished changing in the locker room.
Following Sebastian's advice, she bundled up in a thick robe on her way from the locker room to the hot springs.
As soon as she stepped out of the locker room, she collided with a woman wrapped in a towel.
The woman lost her balance and fell straight into the footbath at the entrance with a loud splash.
Her towel soaked immediately, leaving her completely drenched.
The woman yelled angrily, “Watch where you're going! Are you blind?”
Stephanie was speechless.
It was clearly her fault for running into Stephanie.
Stephanie's expression darkened. “I don’t know if I'm blind, but you definitely are!”
The woman, now even more furious, wiped the water off her face, stood up, and glared at Stephanie.

As their eyes met, both of them immediately recognized each other.
The woman's face darkened. “It's you?”
Stephanie replied. “So it’s you? With your lack of manners and vision, that makes sense.
It was Mayra Garcia, Olivia's best friend.
It was Mayra Olivia's best friend. Stephanie had met her once before during a visit to the Hart family. Back then,
she had been rade to her because of Olivia.
They'd crossed paths twice more while shopping, with Mayra always sticking up for Olivia and causing trouble for
her.
Stephanie's vengeful nature led to their mutual dislike.
Mayra’s anger flared even more at Stephanie’s words, and her eyes practically shot fire.
She yanked off the wet towel, threw it to the ground, and put her hands on her hips. “Who are you calling lack of
manners?” she snapped.
She looked like she was ready to strike if Stephanie dared to say anything else.
Stephanie wasn’t backing down. Tm talking about you. What's it to you?”
Furious. Mayra raised her hand, about to slap Stephanie.
But Stephanie wasn’t one to take it lying down.
She quickly grabbed Mayra’s wrist with one hand and raised her other hand to retaliate.
Before she could strike, however, a hand suddenly reached from behind and shoved Mayra aside.
Mayra’s wrist slipped out of Stephanie’s grip, and she collapsed back into the bath.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, Stephanie was pulled into someone’s embrace.
Instinctively, Stephanie turned her head.
It was Sebastian, his face dark with anger. He shot a cold, hard glare at Mayra, then turned back to Stephanie
with concern.
“Are you okay? Did she hurt you?”
Stephanie shook her head. “No, she just wanted to hit me!”
At this moment, Macro rushed over, glancing at Stephanie.
He couldn’t help but think to himself, Sebastian's eyes really never leave Stephanie, huh?
From so far away, he'd noticed everything.
Thinking about how Sebastian had hurriedly left earlier, worried someone might be bothering her, Macro found
himself shaking his head.
This girl's never been through a tough tin Long Harbor, and yet he’s worried about her. Sebastian's face
darkened as he shot a cold glare at Mayra, who had just gotten up from the bath.
