Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 87 Damn it. Why was he questioning the Giovanni family? He knew why Stephanie left the Giovanni family, It was because the Casalini family had used Sebastian and Mrs. Giovanni to threaten her.

She had left to buy Sebastian sbreathing room. A far cry from that lowlife Olivia Hart who only cared about wiring the Hart family's assets.

Besides, the Giovanni family had another daughter who had been inseparable from Stephanie since childhood.

In short, Stephanie was the apple of Sebastian's eye and the cherished sister of Sofia Giovanni And the Giovanni family was the one Stephanie was determined to protect.

"I was wrong, please don't be mad," Jackson said.

Jackson had a bit of headache.

Stephanie snorted, "Mr. Hodge, you'd better off spending your twinning over Sebastian's trust rather than wasting 'i here." "What's with this backdoor scheme?" Does the Giovanni family even have a "backdoor"? Even if they did, Sebastian had sealed it tight. No one could exploit it.

Scratching his head in frustration, Jackson replied, "But my investigations show that he dotes on you..." "You dared to snoop around our family?" Stephanie cut in sharply.

Jackson was silent.

! Damn. When he got anxious, he ended up spilling all his secrets! "No, no. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this. The cooperation with Sebastian is extremely important to me." "I told you, our family doesn't allow for backdoor." Every tshe said "our family" only let Jackson know the difference between the Giovanni family and the Hart family.

Long Harbor has been buzzing lately.

Jackson knew that the Hart family and Chris Ashford were scheming to shut down Stephanie's studio.

He was eager to wait for their comeuppance.

He had been stewing over Chris for quite stime.

"Chris also wants to work with Sebastian," Jackson remarked.

1/4 6 Mar Chapter 87 Stephanie raised an eyebrow and shot him a glance.

He continued, "Don't getwrong. I just want you to know that both the Hodge family and the Ashford family have their eyes on that mine your family owns." "You can't have it even so!" Stephanie replied bluntly.

It was the honest truth...

Whatever Sebastian held was solely in his hands. No one else could control it.

Jackson was silent for a moment.

That was harsh, but the facts were undeniable.

"Wouldn't it piss you off if Sebastian ended up partnering with Chris?" he prodded, trying a more roundabout approach.

"Even if they did, it wouldn't bother me,” she said coolly.

And Chris would never get the chance to collaborate with Sebastian.

She was sure of this.

"Then can you at least pointin the right direction?" Jackson asked.

With Sebastian refusing to see him these days, Jackson had been pulling his hair out lately.

Stephanie replied, "It's not about personal issues. You must've bungled something in the contract with him." "Contract?" Jackson echoed.

Stephanie nodded. "Unlike Chris, there's absolutely no personal element in your deal." "Really?" he asked.

"Why would I lie to you?" Jackson paused.

"The contract, could it really be a problem with the contract?' he asked himself.

Wait a minute...

Her words suddenly sparked a memory.

"The contracts the Hodge Group signed were standardized, with no alterations.

'Could it be that one clause, the one meant to restrict the other party had caused Sebastian's displeasure?' Realizing this, Jackson slammed his hand on the desk.

"Damn it, I was careless!" Stephanie remained silent.

"Thank you. I'll get someone to fix this right away. And about that..." Jackson hesitated.

2/4 Thur, & Mar He glanced at Stephense 4 89% Then he added, "By the way, the connection between Olivia and Chris isn't accidental, Olivia once saved Chris When a venefactor theres to the level of a lover, you really shouldn't mix business with that kind of relationship. It never As a token of goodwill, Jackson event revealed all he had uncovered about Chris to Stephanie.

Though she had made it clear she wanted to call off the engagement, but how many girls can see their own heart clearly? In any case, Jackson warned her not to waste any more ton Chris.

Even if she managed to get together with him, their reunion would eventually crumble.

Stephanie's eyes flickered with surprise. She hadn't expected another twist in the relationship between Olivia and Chris.

"Thank you? Jackson left the box with her. "I'm leaving now. Keep this gift," he said.

It had been meant for her in the first place, he had never taken back a gift.

Jackson left Stephanie's office and immediately ran into Chris, who had clooking for her.

Chris's face was sullen, and when he saw Jackson coming from Stephanie's office, his mind buzzed with thoughts, and a familiar idea crept into his mind.

As they brushed past each other, Chris grabbed Jackson's wrist. "What are you doing here?" In Chris's view, Stephanie had nothing to do with Jackson.

So why was Jackson showing up at Stephanie's place? With a smile playing on his lips, Jackson replied, "And what do you think I'm here for?" Chris's scowl deepened. He was clearly misunderstanding the situation.

Normally, Jackson might have clarified, but he wasn't about to indulge Chris's baseless assumptions.

Especially since Chris always assumed the worst about Stephanie.

He was waiting for the day Sebastian would put Chris in his place, bone by bone.

Jackson's nonchalant attitude only infuriated Chris further.

Before he could act, Jackson broke the tension, "Your arm isn't in good shape, and your leg seems hurt too. Are you sure you want to get into this?" "If you end up unable to walk, don't say I didn't warn you." The comment only ignited Chris's fury further.

His arm was broken, and his doctor had said he would need that cast for at least a month.

His leg injury wasn't severe, but it still caused him pain, making him limp.

3/4 Chapter 87 "Just tell me, why are you here looking for her?" Chris seethed, every word laced with anger.

Jackson smirked, "Mind your own business! She's already announced her breakup with you to everyone in Long Harbor. I'm the one pursuing her now. Is that a problem?" Chris was momentarily stunned, his chest burning with rage.

Jackson then shook him off forcefully, not wanting to get into scuffle on Stephanie's turf.

He knew that public altercation might eventually reach Sebastian, and that was a risk he couldn't take.

From Stephanie's earlier words, it was clear that with Sebastian in Long Harbor, Chris had been completely kicked out of the picture. He planned to return and renegotiate the contract. Maybe there was still hope.

He should not waste his ton Chris.

Jackson walked away, leaving Chris standing there fuming.

His mind reeling with questions about Stephanie and Jackson's inexplicable connection.

He recalled how the Hodge Group had soared to unprecedented heights after Jackson took over.

*** Later, Jennifer Adams tried to stop Chris.

But he wasn't someone she could just stop easily.

-Stephanie refused to see him, but Jennifer couldn't stop it. She was so furious she nearly called the police.

The office door slammed against the wall with a loud thud.

Stephanie had just opened the box that Jackson had left for her.

There, shining brilliantly, was an enormous diamond ring. Before she could process it, Chris burst into the room, storming over.

The moment his eyes fell on the ring, his mind went blank.

"Jackson gave that to you?" 'So, Jackson's visit was a proposal?' The thought flashed over his mind.
