Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 189 97% The cold wind howled. Chris felt the chill seep into his bones, and the "beep-beep" on the phone made his mind go blank.

As he recalled Sebastian's words, he realized that Sebastian had never intended to let the Harts go.

Kevin walked up to Chris. "Mr. Ashford, Ms. Giovanni's already left Long Harbor." Getting even this small piece of information from security was tough. It was nearly impossible to hear anything about Stephanie, let alone reach her or see her.

It was like someone Chris used to see every day had suddenly vanished, leaving a huge gap he couldn't bridge. Chris felt a chill run through him. "When did this happen?" "After the incident," Kevin said quietly, Chris was stunned. Stephanie was gone from Long Harbor, and he realized there was no way to find her or talk to her in person.

Chris's face tightened. Remembering what Sebastian had said on the phone, he knew the Hart family would struggle to get through this unscathed. But Olivia couldn't afford to wait any longer.

When he visited her yesterday and stepped into her room, he felt an eerie chill, like something was off. She was clearly alive, but the room felt haunted.

"Maybe she's already gone back to Fiorenza," Kevin said.

Chris was taken aback. Hearing this made him think of Stephanie growing up in the Lucano family. Now that she was back there, it felt like they were even further apart.

***** Chris dropped it aside and decided to visit the Harts first. As soon as he walked in, he heard Catlin and Chad in the middle of a heated argument.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Catlin screamed, her voice shaking.

"Since when did you start seeing that woman? You already have kids-twins! What am I to you, Chad? I've given everything to this family, and this is how you repay me?" She was completely devastated.

Chad was just as annoyed. "What have you contributed to this family? Since we got married, you've never worked or faced any real challenges. You've just enjoyed the life of a wealthy wife. And yet, you can't even keep peace among the kids." Thinking about the company's losses-all thanks to Catlin's handling of Stephanie-Chad had no patience left for her.

"I can't keep peace among them? You know what Stephanie's like! Are you seriously putting all the blonnow?" Catlin was at her breaking point.

Thinking about those twins made her furious. Right under her nose, Chad had gotten involved with someone in the company's finance department, and she hadn't known a thing. And now, Chad was acting like all those years she'd invested in him meant nothing.

Chad gave her a cold look. “No matter what she's like, she's your daughter, and you pushed her to this point.” "Can it all be my fault?" Catlin shot back.

Chad argued, "Who else can we blame? Even Tyler's in a mess because of you now." Mentioning his eldest son filled Chad 1/4 09:35 Thu, 20 Mar Chapter 189 with pain.

Things weren't looking good for Tyler. If he didn't get proper treatment, he'd definitely be left with a disability.

42.97%8 "Catlin, if Tyler ends up disabled because of this... Chad let the sentence hang, but Catlin knew exactly what he meant. The Hart Group wouldn't have a disabled heir.

Tyler used to be the only choice. So what is he implying now? Is he making room for his illegitimate child? The thought made Catlin's face turn pale with anger.

"You're going too far. You're the one who cheated. You have kids with someone else. You should be explaining this toshe screamed, fury burning in her voice.

But Chad just snorted coldly, gave her a disgusted look, then turned away and walked off without another word "Where are you going now?" Catlin called out, but Chad ignored her and walked out the door Catlin wanted to chase after him, but her legs felt like lead. She collapsed to the ground, her whole body shaking as she covered her face and cried. "Why does he treatlike this?" She couldn't understand why she had to deal with something like this at her age. It felt as though fate had singled her out for cruelty.

Chris stood at the entrance, watching Catlin. As the younger one, he knew it wasn't his place to say anything. He headed straight upstairs to find Olivia.

the When he walked past Tyler's room, the door was open, and Chris immediately noticed Tyler lying on the bed, staring blankly.

Chris paused for a moment, then walked into Tyler's room.

Tyler noticed Chris and gave a bitter smile. “Did you hear it all?" Tyler had heard the loud arguments downstairs, every word. He never thought that the family he was so proud of in public was actually like this.

Illegitimate kids, cheating-such huge secrets had been happening right under his nose, and he knew nothing about it.

Chris sat on the sofa next to his bed and said, “It's about the older generation. Try not to worry too much" "That woman even had a son," Tyler said, shaking his head.

Chris was quiet, stunned by the news. It was so unexpected that he hadn't fully processed it yet. Chad had never seemed like the type to cheat.

"How did your mom find out?" Chris asked, turning to Tyler.

Tyler let out a bitter laugh. "How did she know? With everything Stephanie's been up to lately, it's clear she'd have a hand in this. It's her revenge on the Hart family-she's tearing apart her own parents." At the mention of Stephanie, Tyler's jaw tightened even more. She was his own sister, but she'd treated him like this. The dull ache from his wound only fueled Tyler's anger toward her.

Chris couldn't help but feel frustrated whenever Stephanie cup. "Have you noticed that Stephanie and Mr. Giovanni don't exactly act like siblings?" Tyler frowned. "What do you mean?" Chris thought back to Cloudridge Valley, where Sebastian had strolled out of the bathroom in just a towel while Stephanie 2/4 19:35 nu, 20 M Chapter 189 was in the room. Normal siblings didn't act like that.

Tyler didn't seem to care much about the sibling dynamics. After a moment, he said, “I've heard rumors that she has a fiancé in Fiorenza.

Chris's expression darkened even more. "She has a fiancé in Fiorenza too?" This was too much. Chris felt like he was about to blow a gasket.

Tyler shrugged. "I heard it's Mr. Richard Casalini." The second most powerful family in Fiorenza? Mr. Richard Casalini?' Chris repeated in his mind. His eyes turned cold, while Tyler felt more and more drained.

They never thought Stephanie had more than just Sebastian behind her. She had the entire Lucano family-and even that rich man, Richard.

***** On the plane, Sebastian, who always kept his cool, finally lost it. The tension in the lounge was palpable.

As things reached a breaking point, Stephanie's voice grew more desperate. "I don't want this. Letgo, please. I can't hold on anymore...

She cried, shouted, and begged. Even with her face stained with tears, Sebastian surprisingly didn't soften this time. It wasn't until nearly two hours had passed, and Stephanie's voice was hoarse from shouting, that he finally let her go. Stephanie, drenched in sweat, lay in Sebastian's arms, her eyes full of frustration. "You... you're so bad... how can you be so cheeky?" She was amazed by how many tricks he had up his sleeve. She had never realized how wild he truly was.

Sebastian looked satisfied. He then let out a soft chuckle and carried her to the bathroom.

After her shower, Stephanie collapsed onto the bed, too tired to move. Sebastian pulled her into his arms. "Stefi, can you tellhow you managed to escape from his villa?" Richard's villa was like a fortress. They said not even a fly could get out-and that wasn't an exaggeration. Yet Stephanie had managed to ditch his guards and run a good distance.

Nuzzling into his embrace, Stephanie said in a slightly raspy voice, "They were all distracted by the barking dogs, so they weren't paying attention to me." Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Really? Watching dogs? That's something." Stephanie nodded. "The dogs were barking like crazy, and it caused quite a commotion, so they had to check it out." While everyone was focused on the dogs, she'd slipped away.

Sebastian lightly pinched her nose. "I underestimated your stamina." He was amazed that even the driver couldn't catch up to her, and she was just on foot.

Stephanie nestled into his arm. "They ΓΙ spent the first hour chasing a dog," There was no way a dog could run on a major road. She'd been determined to wear Richard out by coming up with this idea.

She'd picked the strongest dog, knowing Richard's men would struggle to catch up unless they started firing. She figured the reason they caught up with her so fast was that they finally resorted to shooting out of frustration. Sebastian's eyes widened. He paused, looking down at Stephanie, who had started breathing steadily.

From her few words, Sebastian got the gist of how she'd escaped.
