Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

No Ads +13 Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Olivia's heart skipped a beat. "1... I got scammed out of the money!" Catlin was stunned, "What? You..." Scammed? A shadow crossed Chris' eyes, his thoughts hidden from view.

Tyler, ever the trusting soul, took it at face value.

He chuckled. "Scammed, huh? No wonder you were yelling at them and threatening to call the cops." Olivia's heart hammered against her ribs as she nodded frantically. "Yeah, they rippedoff for thirty thousand dollars. I was furious." Catlin visibly relaxed, relieved it was just a scam.

"Thirty thousand dollars isn't worth getting into a fight." Tyler ruffled Olivia's hair affectionately. “Yeah, it's just money. Next time, don't answer those dodgy calls." It was clear Tyler and Catlin bought Olivia's story hook, line, and sinker.

Chris, however, remained inscrutable.

Olivia, sensing something was off, turned to him. "Chris, what's wrong?" His eyes were too intense.

She couldn't tell if he believed her or not.

Chris shook his head. "Nothing. I have sthings to take care of. Callif you need anything." "Okay, sure." Olivia nodded, not daring to say more or meet his gaze.

One wrong word and her whole charade could crumble.

Seeing Chris leave, Stephanie stopped eavesdropping and hurried away with Elliot.

But Chris spotted her as he exited the room.

He strode over.

As they all stepped into the elevator, Chris' face darkened at the sight of Elliot by her side.

'A different guy every day?' 'That damn woman...' nd Stephanie and Elliot started to leave.

The elevator doors opened with a 'ding', and 1/4 Mon, 3 Mar Chapter 83 But a hand grabbed her wrist. Stephanie turned to Chris, her voice icy. "Let go!" Chris asked, "Are you really cutting ties with the Harts?" He had thought she was just acting out.

That she didn't mean half the things she said.

But it was clear now this woman was dead serious.

She had sent a lawyer to Catlin with the papers. Right on cue, the lawyer approached.

Seeing Stephanie, he greeted her respectfully. "Miss Giovanni." "Go ahead, make sure it's done right." That was all Chris needed to hear. There was no mistaking her intentions now.

A lawyer? It was really happening.

Chris tightened his grip on Stephanie's wrist. "Why? Because of Olivia?" Stephanie rolled her eyes, "Didn't that water bucket knock any sense into you?" Still asking why...

Like she owed him an explanation.

Chris was speechless.

His face darkened at the mention of the water bucket.

That woman!' How could any guy be into her with that attitude?' Chris opened his mouth to speak. But a hand clamped onto his wrist.

Elliot's grip was like a vise. Chris felt like his bones would shatter with the slightest movement.

"Mr. Ashford, let go." Chris glared at him, furious.

Stephanie challenged, "What's up? Wanna throw down?" A dangerous edge crept into Stephanie's voice as Chris hesitated.

Chris' face was thunderous.

Finally, he released Stephanie's wrist. Stephanie, free, walked away with Elliot.

Her departing figure was resolute, cold, as if there was no turning back.

Suddenly, Chris felt a void in his chest.

'Scammed, my ass' Stephanie would never believe it.

Elliot nodded. "Understood." She, Stephanie, would get to the bottom of this.

Sebastian returned to Whispering Bay. Sebastian wasn't home, and Elliot, after dropping her off, had rushed off to meet him.

The dining table was laid out with all her favorite dishes from Fiorenza.

Midway through her meal, Sebastian called. Sebastian picked up before the butler could.

"Don't start. I'm full. I've only had one bowl!" As if she were a child, needing him to monitor her every bite.

Was Sebastian really that stressed? What if he started complaining she wasn't independent enough, that he still had to worry about her? She wasn't about to take the blfor that.

"So obedient?" Sebastian's voice, warm and uniquely indulgent towards Sebastian.

"When I'm full, I'll stop. Don't worry so much, okay?" "With you, I can't help but worry," Sebastian said.

Sebastian Giovannni said.

Stephanie Giovanni stopped talking-! Sebastian went silent. Fine, so he had to worry about her. If he liked worrying so much, let him.

"When are you coming back? Have you been drinking?" Her voice softened noticeably.

"Probably another two hours. I had a little to drink. Don't wait up, go to sleep." "Okay, got it." She hung up.

Sebastian returned to the dining room. There was no way she was stopping; she was hungry.

The butler watched Sebastian polish off two more bowls, a bit stunned.

A good appetite was a blessing, he supposed 3/4 +13 22:13 Mon, 3 Mar Chapter 83

Just as she finished, Sebastian stepped into the courtyard to walk offher meal Chris call cthrough.

As soon as she answered the phone, Stephanie Giovanni couldn't wait to hang up.

"What? What do you want? Is this ever going to end?" Sebastian's tone dripped with disdain. She couldn't stand him, simple as that. Hearing her voice, Chris' breathing quickened. "Who owns Whispering Bay?" "What for?" "Ask him. I'll buy it, whatever the price." 'Olivia must have said something at the hospital, Sebastian thought.

Chris was always a mess when it cto Olivia.

"He won't sell. Give it up." ☐☐47%

Chris exploded, "Tellwho this owner is! I heard he's 66 years old! Sebastian, are you really with a guy on his last leg?" Sebastian had been seen with a different man every day for the past few days.

Chris was utterly confused about who owned Whispering Bay.

Olivia's illness left him no room to think; his mind was a jumbled mess.

Sebastian, upon hearing '66,' thought Chris wasn't just a bit slow, he was completely clueless.

"I'm going to inherit his estate, is that a problem? You think I should go for you instead? With your messed-up family, how long would I have to deal with that? An old man is perfect. No parents, no in-laws, no . What a wonderful life." Chris' heart seized, and he nearly collapsed.
