Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 193 Stephanie was starving, craving something sweet. But Sebastian would never let her have ice cream, worried it would upset her stomach She'd probably end up whining about a stomachache later.

Instead, someone brewed her a pot of coffee. Stephanie clutched a mug bigger than her face and drank half of it before finally feeling full.

"When are we taking off? Stephanie asked, glancing at Sebastian.

Just then, Elliot walked over. "Sir." Sebastian checked his watch. "When will we take off?" "There's been an incident at the airport. Sunknown group has stormed in, and the whole place is in chaos," Elliot reported.

Stephanie's eyebrows shot up. She stared at Elliot, completely shocked. "Chaos? What do you mean, chaos?" "The police are currently engaged in a firefight with the intruders. It'll be a while before we can take off," Elliot explained. Stephanie's jaw dropped. Seriously? She'd lived here for a long time, and Long Harbor was supposed to be super safe. How could something like this happen? A thought crossed her mind, and she turned to Sebastian. "Could it be Richard?" "You think he'd dare cause trouble here?" Sebastian asked.

"I think he might not be what you guys think he is," Stephanie said hesitantly.

Ever since Sebastian arrived in Long Harbor, she'd picked up bits and pieces from Macro's comments. Richard's situation seemed dire in their eyes-like he was on the run, living in utter ruin.

But what Stephanie had seen in Paginara was completely different. If anything, it seemed like Richard had the entire Paginara under his control.

Macro chimed in, "Then what's his motive for causing trouble here? He failed to steal you, so now he's just going to openly kidnap you?" Stephanie wanted to strangle him.

Macro continued. "If he wanted to kidnap you, he would've done it in Paginara. Why call the way to Long Harbor and stir up this mess?" Long Harbor's power dynamics were already complicated. If Richard really caused trouble here, it would only bring him more problems.

Dealing with Sebastian alone had been enough of a headache for him. Why would he cto Long Harbor and make things worse? Stephanie shot back, "In your mind, is everything about stic love story? Are you that obsessed with romance?" Macro must've been daydreaming about sepic love saga. If he wanted to experience a whirlwind romance, he should just go find a woman instead of spinning wild theories.

Macro grinned. "Isn't it exciting, though?" Stephanie gave him a look that screamed, "You're an idiot", and decided to stop talking. Talking to him was like talking to a 09:36 Thu, 20 Mar Chapter 193 brick wall.

Macro could tell Stephanie was mentally calling him crazy.

Sebastian tapped his fingers on the table and then turned to Elliot. "Take off now? "Take off now? Without clearance from the tower or air traffic control? Are you insane or just suicidal? Macro jumped up. horrified.

The airport was in chaos, and not just on the ground. The airspace was probably a mess too, with no one directing traffic Elliot glanced at Macro. "Relax, Mr. Vitale. We have an advanced system." Macro's eye twitched. "I want to get off this plane.” Lorenzo smacked the back of his head. "You wanna go down there and catch a buller?" Macro thought, "What kind of luck do I have? Sebastian's a lunatic. Taking off without air traffic control? Is he out of his mind?' But then he glanced at Stephanie, calmly sipping her coffee beside him, and felt a little better. Sebastian might not care about their lives, but he'd never risk Stephanie's.

With that thought, Macro settled down.

Elliot signaled to the flight attendant. “Close the cabin. We're taking off." The attendant nodded and said respectfully, "Okay." Elliot went to make arrangements. Less than a minute later, the attendant gasped and took a step back, her voice tense. "Who are you? You can't be here. Get off the plane." "Please, help me! They're killing people!" cElla's panicked voice.

Stephanie froze, then shot to her feet. She turned and saw Ella at the cabin door, being ushered off by the attendant.

"Ella?" Stephanie called out.

Ella was pleading with the attendant, begging to stay on the plane. The outside was a nightmare. Hearing Stephanie's voice, she stiffened and slowly turned her head.

Stephanie set down her oversized mug and hurried over. "What are you doing at the airport? Didn't you say you were at the Hart residence doing an interview, listening to gossip?" When Ella realized it was really Stephanie, tears started streaming down her face. She rushed into Stephanie's arms. "Oh my God, I was so scared! A bullet almost hit me. I almost died!" Ella, who was usually fearless, had been terrified running through the crossfire.

Stephanie patted her back, trying to comfort her. "What kind of luck do you have? Did the airport have sjuicy gossip for you?" Ella sniffled. "No. I was here to pick up sdocuments for my mom." She'd just gotten the documents when her life almost ended.

"Why is this year so unlucky for me? Every tI go out, something crazy happens. Oh, right. Sfortune- teller toldI would have bad luck this year," said Ella.

2/4 Chapter 193 Stephanie knew Ella was three years older than her "Is the universe out to getor what?" Ella whined, growing more upset.

Stephanie sighed. "It's okay. You're safe now" Ella's sudden appearance was unexpected, After calming Ella down, Stephanie returned to Sebastian. "Can we take her with us?" "Keris Isle is complicated and dangerous," Sebastian replied, Stephanie's eye twitched. Dangerous meant they'd likely run into all sorts of unpredictable trouble.

Ella had lived her whole life in the peaceful bubble of Long Harbor. Taking her to Keris Isle was out of the question "But she's too scared to go back on her own," Stephanie argued, She'd seen Ella's legs trembling, her pants torn with a perfectly round hole. How did that happen? Obviously, a bullet had grazed her leg. Ella was thoroughly shaken.

Sebastian glanced at his watch, about to order Elliot to have someone send Ella home.

Lorenzo set down his wine glass and stood up. "You go ahead; I'll take her back and then fly straight to Keris Isle," he said.

All eyes turned to Lorenzo.

Macro called out, "Wait, you're going?" Before he could finish, Lorenzo shot him a warning look, signaling him to shut it.

Macro felt a bit miffed but zipped his lips. He wanted to say that Ella would probably be more scared of Lorenzo.

After all, back in the Shallow Bay Area, Ella had seen Lorenzo in action, and it scared the living daylights out of her. No, it had knocked her out cold-she barely made it two steps before she fainted right there in the snow.

Ella was still waiting for Stephanie, and when she saw Lorenzo m approaching, her mind flashed back to the moment he had pulled a gun in the Shallow Bay Area. She instinctively took a step back. Lorenzo walked past her, saying, "Let's go." "Go where?" Ella asked.

"I'm taking you back," Lorenzo replied.

"I don't want to leave the plane,” Ella blurted out without thinking.

She had just escaped from the airport terminal, and those people were om scary. Even though no one cared for her and her mom barely contacted her, she was sure she hadn't lived enough yet. Lorenzo looked at her. "If you don't get off the plane now, the bad guys are going to be here any minute." Ella gulped. "Oh. I don't want to put Stefi in danger." Stephanie, who had been watching from a distance, felt a wave of emotion at that.

Lorenzo raised an eyebrow. "Are we not leaving yet?" Seeing how terrified Ella had gotten, Stephanie thought maybe taking her with them to Keris Isle wasn't such a bad idea after 9/1 Chapter 198 11 But then kila turned to her, saying, "Steh, I'm grang Before Stephanie could react, Ella stepped out and followed Lorenzo. She trusted this ruthless man, figuring he could get her safely out of the airport Watching Ella look so scared tugged at Stephanie's heart, "Maybe...

Before she could finish, she felt a strong tug on her wrist and stumbled right into Sebastian's arms.

"What are you doing?" Stephanie glared at him, annoyed.

Sebastian held her chin, asking. "Do you really care about Ella that much Stephanie was at a loss for words, Macro thought, "What does that mean? Can't Stephanie get close to girls either? Suddenly, it hit him why he got smacked before, Sebastian had a seriously intense possessiveness over Stephanie.
