Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 49 Eastview Tower.

After the meeting, Stephanie stepped out of the conference room, and Jennifer quickly approached. "Boss, big news," "What big news?" "Someone's trying to push you to the edge." Stephanie raised an eyebrow and glanced at Jennifer.

Jennifer continued. "The Hart family is spreading the word to all major companies that they shouldn't hire you, and we've heard the sthing" Stephanie was silent.

A cold gleam flashed in her eyes, her gaze narrowing as a slow smile curled at the corner of her lips. "Heh, alright" "Are we going to fight back?" Jennifer knows Stephanie's place in the Hart family and thought they were really going too far.

Treating their own daughter like this, and it was clear it was all because of their adopted daughter.

To treat their biological daughter so harshly for the sake of an adopted one-what kind of family was this? It was utterly despicable! Stephanie replied, "Fight back? No need." Someone would deal with them.

After all. Olivia Hart was already terminally ill, and she didn't want to bother with them anymore.

If no one took action, it might actually be better to leave things as they were.

...of course...

But, The Hart family clearly thought their good days were too easy. If they felt like they were too comfortable now... Then, she'd have to....

A cold, mocking glint passed through Stephanie's eyes as she walked toward her office.

Suddenly.

The receptionist's voice cfrom the front: "Mr. Hodge? What brings you here? Are you here to give our stua project?" Stephanie turned toward the voice.

There, she saw Jackson and Lilian walking in.

Jackson looked furious. As soon as he spotted Stephanie, he marched up toward her.

1/4 22:01 Mon, 3 Mar.

Chapter 49 He even growled at Lalian behind him. "Turry up." Stephanie frowned as she watched them approach.

Before she could process her thoughts, Jackson and Lilian reached her.

"Steh, it's been hard to find you. Can we talk?" Jackson glanced around. The stuwasn't particularly large, but for a small studio, it wasn't too shabby. There were people all around.

Jackson lowered his voice. "Can we go somewhere quieter? Since Jackson had personally chere. Stephanie naturally wouldn't be impolite and refuse.

She nodded. "Follow me." Turning, she led them directly to her office.

Once inside, she casually gestured toward the couch. "Take a seat.” Then, she sat behind her desk and turned to Jennifer, who had followed them in. Two cups of At that moment, Stephanie turned her gaze to Lilian. "You're picky, aren't you? Probably won't like the coffee here?" Lilian stood frozen, stunned.

50% Seeing Stephanie sitting behind that desk, she couldn't help but think of the times she'd visited Jackson at the company.

Why was Stephanie sitting in that position? Was this? Noticing that Lilian was silent, Stephanie looked to Jennifer. Just one cup of coffee, please." "Okay, boss." Jennifer nodded and went to fetch the coffee.

Jackson had already sat down, but Lilian was still standing there, too stunned to react.

Stephanie took a sip from her water cup and asked, "Mr. Hodge, what brings you here?" Jackson paused for a moment.

Unlike Lilian, he had seen his fair share of situations over the years at the Hodge Group.

It didn't take him long to realize Stephanie's status here.

After all, a woman who could provoke Sebastian to anger was unlikely to have fallen so low as to need a job.

He shot a cold glare at Lilian, who still hadn't grasped the situation, and lowered his voice when speaking to Stephanie. "Last night, Lilian was out of line. I brought her here to apologize." Stephanie lifted her eyes and glanced at Lilian.

"Is that so?" 2/4 Mon, 3 Mar Chapter 19 Jackson nodded. "Yes" Seeing the exchange. Lilian still hadn't processed what was happening. Enraged, Jackson kicked her.

The sudden kirk made Lilian lose her balance, and she fell to the carpet.

As she looked up, her gaze met Stephanie's At that moment, she felt all the humilation After all, she was in front of the woman she had always looked down on....

"Why are you doing this, Jackson?" Lilian glared at Jackson with anger. He gave her a cold, reproachful look, and she quickly realized why they were here.

Her breathing couldn't help but quicken.

She turned back to Stephanie, who was watching her with a mocking gaze.

Sitting in that executive chair, she seemed like someone on a higher level.

Lilian remembered how she had mocked Stephanie before, and in comparison to now, she felt utterly foolish What was her role here? The boss? Could it be that this place really belonged to her? 50% Struggling to get up from the floor, Lilian didn't immediately apologize. Instead, she asked, "What are you doing here? I'm telling you. Stephanie, don't you dare pretend..." Tilian Jackson's voice cut her off sharply, full of warning.

Lilian snapped back to reality, gritting her teeth. She reluctantly looked at Stephanie and said, "I'm sorry." "Louder." Jackson growled Lilian trembled at his voice, glanced at Stephanie once more, then lowered her head, gritting her teeth as she said, "I'm sorry." Was that enough? They were here, and she had apologized. Surely, that should be the end of it.

Lilian thought so.

But the next moment, Jackson's voice turned even colder. "Is that all?” Is that all? Lilian thought back to Jackson's earlier words to her.

Clearly, she wasn't just supposed to apologize-she needed to be forgiven.

Looking into Stephanie's mocking eyes, Lillian was so furious that she felt a pang of hurt.

3/4 Mon, 3 Mar Chapter 49 Could Stephanie ever forgive her now? Whatever...

Lilian shut her eyes. "Can you forgive me?" Lilian's words only stoked the fire of her own rage.

50%

If Stephanie had any sense. Lilian fumed silently, she'd realize how privileged she is to have someone of my brother's status personally escorting her here. She should've ended this farce already.

But then- Stephanie set down her water glass, ignoring Lilian entirely as she arched a brow at Jackson.

"Mr. Hodge, your sister's rebellious streak seems particularly.. unyielding today. Are we certain this apology is sincere?" You-Lilian's rage burned through her skull like molten iron.

Stephanie's gaze remained locked on Jackson.

"Well. Mr. Hodge!" NE Jackson's expression darkened as he shot Lilian a withering glance.

"You've got one last chance." Lilian felt silent.

Her heart just plummeted.

The humiliation radiating from Stephanie's composed demeanor felt like sandpaper against her pride.

Fine.

If she wants to play this game, I'll make sure the Harts make her life hell.

Tll tell Tyler everything-see if that family spares her a single cent!"

Her train of thought halted abruptly as her eyes swept over the lavishly decorated office and Stephanie's custom-tailored suit. A cold realization struck: This is why she's been ignoring the Harts warnings.
