Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 132 Catlin hurried to catch up with Chris.

Seeing her approach, Chris was somewhat surprised. "Mrs. Ashford, why are you here?" Catlin took a moment to steady her breath.

"Chris, tell me, are you here because of Stephanie?" Chris stared at the phone, his face turning ashen.

Kevin lowered his head silently. Clearly, this matter was related to her.

For sreason, the question made him uncomfortable, especially the way she mentioned Stephanie.

He recalled that Catlin always called Olivia by Ollie, yet Stephanie-her own daughter-was referred to so distantly. And Stephanie her biological daughter! For the first time, Chris clearly saw the distinction Catlin made between the two.

93% At that moment, he suddenly understood why Stephanie had always harbored such resentment toward the Hart family.

Kevin was also taken aback. He didn't expect Catlin to ask such a question. Stephanie was her biological daughter after all.

Just two years ago, the Hart family had even tried to arrange a match between her and Mr. Giovanni. Now, what was this attitude? Chris narrowed his eyes slightly. "Did Olivia send you?" Thinking of what Olivia had said over the phone, he found her behavior almost childish.

He had been running around nonstop while she was undergoing treatment. Now his company was facing big problems keeping him away from the hospital.

And Catlin had cto question him, which annoyed Chris.

Catlin hesitated, her breath stilled. "No, it's not that. I just..." Faced with Chris' stern gaze, she faltered.

"Well, it's just... You know, Olivia is sick. She's very vulnerable right now." "She knows you and Stephanie are both in Mount Spring, and she won't even take her medicine." Chris' expression darkened. "What?" Hearing that Olivia was refusing to take her medication, his concern grew.

Noticing the flicker of worry in his eyes, Catlin pressed on. "You know, she relies on you a lot." "If she were in a better state, she might be more rational, but right now, she's fighting a battle between life and death." Thinking of Olivia's condition, Catlin felt a pang of sorrow.

Chris seeing her distress, felt his irritation fade.

1/4 05 Tue, 11 Mar Chapter 132 Without hesitation, he pulled out his phone and called Olivia.

Olivia answered quickly, her voice weak. "Chris" "Why didn't you take your medicine properly?" His tone was stern, but there was an undeniable undercurrent of concern.

Hearing his voice, Olivia's emotions overflowed. She burst into tears, feeling grievance.

Chris sighed, troubled. “The company has been really busy lately. Can you be good for me?" "I thought you didn't care aboutanymore,” she whispered. "You went to Mount Spring... and so did Stephanie." Chris stared at the phone, his face turning ashen.

The mention of Stephanie only irritated Chris further.

Still, he patiently reassured her. "The company has been really busy these past few days. Take care of yourself, okay?" The Lucano family had already signed a contract with Jackson.

Even Fred's intervention hadn't changed the situation. Chris knew the challenges the Ashford Group would face next.

He simply didn't have the tto be at the hospital.

After comforting her for a while, he quickly ended the call.

92% Catlin, who had been standing by, noticed that although Chris' attitude had softened, his patience wasn't what it used to be.

Chris glanced at Catlin.

Catlin hesitated before asking, “You really didn't chere because of Stephanie?" Perhaps in her anxiety, she had spoken without thinking.

The moment the words left her lips, Chris face darkened.

He shot her a cold, piercing look before turning to leave.

Catlin instinctively stepped forward. "Chris, I...” However, Chris was already fed up. "What you should be most concerned about right now is the Hart Group." "I heard that the company targeting the Hart Group was Skyriver Travel, which made Stephanie millions last year. What do you think that means?" Hearing this, Catlin's breath caught in her throat.

She knew it. Both Chad and Tyler had already explained everything to her.

But now, hearing Chris spell it out, she felt suffocated. Finally, she understood the reason Chris had cto Spring Mountain.

Walking a long way, Chris' silhouette grew colder and colder.

Kevin phone buzzed insistently.

9/4 07:05 Tue, 11 Mar Chapter 132 He answered it, and after listening for a moment, he simply said, "Mm, understood." He hung up and quickened his pace to catch up with Chris.

"Sir, the heir of the Lucano family is actually named Sebastian Giovanni, known as Mr. Giovanni." Chris stopped in his tracks, turning to Kevin with a gaze that deepened with each passing second.

"Sebastian Giovanni? Mr. Giovanni?" Mr. Giovanni, the legendary figure in Fiorenza.

The man who had been with Stephanie all this tturned out to be... Mr. Giovanni of Fiorenza.

And he was the heir of the Lucano family.

Chris felt his blood run cold.

Kevin nodded. "Yes." They had finally uncovered the man's true identity.

Chris' entire body turned icy cold. His hands clenched into fists as he growled the name, "Sebastian Giovanni! Mr. Giovanni!" Sebastian also had the surnGiovanni.

Chris breathed rapidly. "What's his relationship with Stephanie?" Kevin paused, taken aback, and replied subconsciously, "Aren't they lovers?" The word "lovers" struck Chris like a bolt of lightning, unsettling his breath once again.

***** Sebastian had no idea that the drink was wine until Stephanie told her.

Now, realizing her cheeks were flushed, she felt the signs of drunkenness.

"Ugh, I had no idea. I thought it was juice," she muttered.

The wine tasted so sweet that it was hard to tell it was alcohol.

"Is this wine strong?" she asked.

"It has a powerful aftereffect," Sebastian replied.

Stephanie felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.

"What red wine tastes like this?" She knew that most red ed wines hadam strong aftertaste, but this one was ΕΠ deceptively sweet. She couldn't smell or taste alcohol at all.

Sebastian playfully tweaked her nose, his affectionate smile tinged with a hint of helplessness.

He had been right; the wine's aftereffect was indeed strong.

Soon, Stephanie felt lightheaded, and her vision began to blur.

07:05 Tue, 11 Mar Chapter 132 "Ugh," she groaned, collapsing into Sebastian's arms.

He gently lifted her onto his lap, asking, "Do you feel unwell?" Stephanie's breath was warm as she clung to Sebastian's neck, feeling as if she were in a dream.

Reality and dreams seemed to blur together.

She nuzzled against his neck like a kitten, murmuring, “Sebastian."

Worried that she might catch a chill after drinking, Sebastian had om someone bring a blanket to wrap around her. Still not satisfied, he decided to carry her upstairs to her room.

"I've asked someone to prepare black coffee for you," he said indulgently.

Stephanie could barely make out his words.

After drinking, her head felt dizzy.

As Sebastian carried her upstairs, vere she felt as if she were floating on a cloud, enveloped in a familiar scent that drew her closer. Her consciousness grew hazier.

"Sebastian," she suddenly called out his name.

His expression shifted as if a hardened part of his heart had crumbled.

He had never realized what it would feel like to hear his nspoken so intimately from her lips.

His deep voice, tinged with a complex mix of emotions, replied, "I'm here." "Promiseyou won't have other women. Promiseyou won't marry them," she slurred.

His breathing becunsteady.

Looking down at her flushed face, his pupils wavered.

For the first time, he felt her true feelings deep down.

His voice softened even further as he asked, "Why?" AD Comment mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
