Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 101 Chapter 101 Sebastian glanced at his watch, then looked toward the dining area.

Seeing that Stephanie was eating obediently, he said softly, "Is Chris still busy with the Whispering Bay matter?" Chris had always wanted to buy the Whispering Bay for the Hart family's adopted daughter.

Back in the day, Fred was known for being a ruthless and iron-fisted man.

It must have been utterly infuriating for him to have a son turn out like this.

Elliot nodded. "Yes," "Call Fred back and tell him...

He paused mid-sentence because he saw Stephanie spit out the cake she had put in her mouth.

It seemed like she had bitten into something dirty as she spat repeatedly and even rinsed her mouth with water. Sebastian's expression darkened slightly, and his tone followed suit. "Tell him his son's matter is urgent.” Elliot blinked in surprise.

He was certain that Fred would probably want to beat Chris to death if he heard that.

What pressing matter could Chris possibly have? He was just getting all cozy with Olivia, and the most urgent thing right now was securing Whispering Bay for her.

Speaking of Chris, Elliot couldn't help but sigh. "How did Mr. Ashford end up with a son like this?" "If he is going to be a romantic, at least pick a decent partner. This guy is practically ensuring that his family will have no heirs." And as for Olivia's character? Based on the investigation, Chris's taste in women was truly baffling.

Sebastian let out a low chuckle. "Which is why Mr. Ashford should be worrying about his son's affairs first." Elliot immediately understood Sebastian's intention and felt that he was cunning.

Those people thought Sebastian wouldn't retaliate, but after how they treated Stephanie all these years, they were never going to be forgiven that easily.

Elliot nodded. "I'll make the call now." Then, he left.

Sebastian gestured toward the butler hiding in the shadows. The butler stepped forward respectfully. "Sir?" "Fire the entire kitchen staff today." The butler was stunned.

"Yes," 1/4 Sat, 8 Mar Chapter 101 Sebastian walked toward the dining area. By now, Stephanie had almost finished eating. He glanced at the naphases the had spit out the food.

"Did it taste bad?" "There were pebbles in it." The butler, who was following behind Sebastian, couldn't help but tremble when he heard this. No wonder the kitchen staf got fired.' Everyone knew how meticulous Sebastian was about food, especially when it cto Stephanie's meda Meanwhile, Stephanie had no idea that her casual complaint had caused the entire kitchen staff to lose their jobs "Are you heading out?" Sebastian nodded. "The Hart family should be in chaos by now." They had likely been holding an emergency meeting all night.

If they were smart enough to figure out what was happening, they'd eventually clooking for Stephanie.

Otherwise, they'd just have to suffer the consequences.

Stephanie raised a brow. "What did you do to them?" "Those cakes are wasted on them." Stephanie was at a loss for words.

Right, he did say he would hand the entire Hart family over to her.

She didn't care much about that, but seeing that Sebastian was about to leave, she didn't say anything else.

As expected, the Hart family was utterly clueless.

Until now, they didn't understand what had happened.

Just as Sebastian left, Stephanie received a call from Jennifer, saying that Jackson was looking for her at the office.

Hearing Jackson's name, Stephanie immediately knew it was about the ring.

"Tell him to wait an hour." "Yes." One hour should be just enough for her to get there.

After hanging up, Stephanie went upstairs to change.

Just as she was about to leave, she received a text from an unknown number. [The curtains at Whispering Bay have probably been changed by now.] From the content, she knew it was Olivia.

Stephanie couldn't understand where Olivia got the audacity to show off to her when she was dying right now. Honestly, if Olivia weren't already suffering from three terminal illnesses, Stephanie might have had to deal with her personally.

2/4 09:29 Sat, 8 Mar Chapter 101 Little did she know that Olivia was barely holding herself together.

That morning, when she saw the massive clump of hair on her pillow, her heart nearly shattered.

Stephanie replied casually, [You said 'probably'-so it's not certain, is it?] She felt that Chris was still stringing Olivia along.

Even Olivia wasn't sure if she'd be moving into Whispering Bay.

Olivia responded, [Whether it's certain or not, Chris has nothing to do with you anymore.] 'Oh, how arrogant,' thought Stephanie.

[Aren't you afraid that I will show this to him?] texted Stephanie.

[I dare you.] replied Olivia.

This phone number was not Olivia's, so it would depend on whether Chris believed her or Stephanie.

[I bet 300 thousand dollars that you won't be able to move into Whispering Bay,] said Stephanie.

Since Olivia loved showing off so much, Stephanie decided to play along.

If she was going to flaunt something, there should at least be stakes involved.

On the other end, Olivia's breath hitched when she saw Stephanie's message.

A trace of malice flashed in her eyes.

[300 thousand dollars? You're really that shameless?] [What, can't afford it?] Forget pride-money was what truly mattered.

Seeing Stephanie's arrogant tone, Olivia gritted her teeth.

[Fine. I'll bet!] 94%1 +13

300 thousand dollars wasn't a small amount, but she trusted that Chris wouldn't let her down. If Stephanie lost, she'd have to pay her instead.

And truthfully, Olivia needed the money. The man who had been her was blackmailing her was still lurking in ve the shadows, and her recent hospital stay meant the Hart family assumed she wasn't spending much. She barely had anything on hand. If she could squeeze money out of Stephanie, it would solve her problem perfectly.

She remembered that Stephanie's stuhad made over more than two million last year, so 300 thousand dollars would be nothing to Stephanie..

With this in mind, Olivia sent another message, [Remember, no backing out. You made the bet yourself.] Stephanie replied, [Of course. No backing out. Just don't start crying when you lose.] The phrase 'start crying" hit Olivia like a slap to the face.

Stephanie continued, [And don't you dare say you don't have the money when the tcomes. You better be prepared for the consequences, or I'll make sure you regret it.] 3/4 09:29 Sat, 8 Mar Chapter 101 Seeing these words, Olivia almost fainted from anger.

In a fit of rage, she deleted all the messages and handed her phone back to the nurse.

Stephanie saw that Olivia had stopped replying and knew she had successfully shut her up. She always made sure to lay down the ground rules first.

God knew how much she wanted to rip apart that scheming face every tshe saw Olivia. By the tStephanie arrived at her studio, exactly one hour had passed.

Jackson stood up when he saw her. "Stefi, you're finally here. I've been waiting forever!" His tone was completely familiar, as if they had sdeep bond.

To an outsider, it might even seem like they had a significant friendship.

Especially when Jackson tried to drape his arm around her shoulders, to which Stephanie instinctively dodged.

'Looks like he hasn't learned his lesson from Sebastian yet,' thought Stephanie. Stephanie cut straight to the point. "Just say what you need to say." The fake was giving her the creeps.
