Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 118 Chapter 118 70% After a night of chaos between the Ashfords and Hart families, Stephanie, on the other hand, had a peaceful night's sleep.

She was up early, originally planning to head to her studio, but instead, Sebastian brought her to the hospital. Confused, she asked, "Why does Mrs. Blackwood want to see me?" Mrs. Blackwood-the elderly woman who had helped Sebastian at the hospital before-had called him last night, saying she. wanted to meet Stephanie.

So here they were.

Sebastian shrugged. "She probably likes you." "Huh? We've only met twice. Don't tellshe's trying to setup with her grandson?" After all, when older ladies took a liking to a girl, that was usually the reason.

Sebastian chuckled and playfully pinched her cheek. "If that were the case, do you think I'd have brought you here?" Stephanie fell silent.

'Okay, fair point.

It reminded her of when she was fifteen or sixteen in Fiorenza-back when elite families practically lined up at the door of the Giovannis estate, eager to secure an engagement with her.

They couldn't dream of marrying into the direct Giovannis line, so they set their sights on her instead.

Too bad Sebastian had turned them all away, saying she was too young.

Back then, she was indeed too young. But now? She glanced at Sebastian, deep in thought.

As the car pulled up, Sebastian said, “Let Elliot go with you." "Got it." She had already noticed there was a driver with them today, which meant Elliot had other plans.

So Elliot was just here to escort her to see Mrs. Blackwood.

As Elliot stepped out and respectfully opened the car door for her, Stephanie glanced at Sebastian. "Alright, I'm going." "Wait." Just as she was about to step out, Sebastian's deep voice stopped her. There was a subtle tension in his tone, something restrained.

She turned back. "What is it?" Before she could react, Sebastian pulled her back into the car. With her back against the door, he reached toward her chest.

Stephanie instantly froze, every muscle in her body tensing up.

Her face burned as she stammered, "S-Sebastian..." 1/4 16:48 Mon, 10 Mar 0 M Chapter 118 Her heart pounded like it was about to leap out of her throat.

Then, she felt a slight rug at her shirt.

Glancing down, she saw Sebastian's long fingers calmly fastening a loose button.

Stephanie froze for a second.

'Seriously?' He even inspected it afterward, frowning. "The stitching is loose. This shirt is no good" Her face turned an even deeper shade of red.

Sebastian then pulled off his scarf and wrapped it around her, letting the ends drape down just enough to cover the area.

When he looked up, he was met with Stephanie's completely flushed face, His expression stiffened, "Why are you blushing?" "I... I just...

'Damn it!' For a split second, she'd thought he was- Sebastian's eyes flickered with amusement as realization dawned on him. "What exactly did you think I was going to do, Stefi?" Stephanie, already red, now looked like she might burst into flames.

"Enough!" Stephanie spun around, ready to escape the car, but before she could, a firm grip caught her wrist. With just a slight pull, she stumbled straight into Sebastian's chest.

"S-Sebastian, you-" Above her, his low chuckle rumbled.

"Well, well... My Stefi is all grown up. You actually get embarrassed now." "Stop it!" Sebastian pinched her cheek, amusement dancing in his eyes. "Tell me, what exactly did you think I was about to do?" "I don't know! Don't ask me!" There was no way she'd admit what had crossed her mind for that split second.

If he hadn't meant anything by it, she'd be handing him a lifetime's worth of teasing material.

"Uh, I'll just go see Mrs. Blackwood on my own. Elliot can stick with you." She needed to get out of there now.

Jerking free from Sebastian's hold, she practically launched herself out of the car, sprinting off without a single glance back.

Watching her scurry away, Sebastian's smirk deepened.

Elliot nodded and followed, after Stephanie, though he could help but think-Wan in the Haas family could possity inlty her? Stephanie was more likely to finish them off than get hurt herself.

That kick she landed on Chris? Yeah, he was probably looking at another hospital visit The guy was a wreck-broken hand, injured leg, bruned face.

Who knew if his internal organs were messed up too? The guy was banged up everywhere.

Stephanie had no interest in coming to the hospital, mainly because Mrs. Blackwood's room was right past Olvia's She still had no idea what that old woman saw in her.

As soon as she stepped off the elevator, chaos erupted.

"Letout! I want to leave! Get out of my way!" "Yeah! Who gave you the right to keep us here? Move!" Great. First thing in the morning, and she was already dealing with this mess.

Stephanie was this close to turning right back around.

Olivia was losing it, screaming at the top of her lungs, while Catlin looked just as furious.

From a distance, Stephanie spotted several bodyguards in suits stationed outside Olivia's hospital room.

Judging from their reactions, these guys weren't sent by Chad.

So... The Ashford family?

Yeah, that made sense. The Ashfords wanted nothing to do with Chris and Olivia's mess Not just his parents-all four of his grandparents were against it too. But Chris? He just had to keep chasing after Olivia. Of course, that only made things worse.

The Ashfords were getting desperate-when people got desperate, they got extreme.

The elevator beside her dinged open. Elliot stepped out. "Miss Stephanie, let's go." "Okay." Stephanie Giovanni replied.

She walked right past the commotion without sparing Olivia or Catlin a glance.

3/4 Mor Chapter 118

As far as Stephanie was concerned, the Hart family had nothing to dan with her anymore. She had made that crystal clear when she cut ties. Catlin's face stiffened the moment she saw Stephanic.

Then, without thinking, she let go of Olivia and marched straight toward her.

Catlin stepped right in Stephanie's path. "I need to talk to you." Stephanie arched a brow. "Ma'am, do i know you?" Catlin stiffened.

'Ma'am? That was how she was addressingnow?'

Thinking about how Stephanie hadmade their estrangement public-how the news was still spreading like wildfire-only fueled Catlin's anger. "You wanted to cut ties, fine, I let you! But why take it this far?" Now, the entire Hart family was a laughingstock in Long Harbor.

Since last night, Chad had called three times, demanding she fix the mess. Even the company was taking a hit.

And now the Ashfords were pulling this stunt? Definitely because of this. Stephanie smirked. "Didn't I say? Just making sure you won't csuckingdry later." Catlin's breath caught in her throat.

4/4.
