After visiting Mrs. Blackwood, Stephanie had to pass by Olivia's hospital room on her way out
Chris was waiting for her at the door. The moment he saw her, he frowned and stepped forward, blocking her
park
Stephanie raised an eyebrow, “What? Are you looking to get beaten up again today?
Chris’ voice was ice-cold. “How did you beclike this? His gaze darkened as it swept over the man following
behind Stephanie, his expression turning even more hostile.
Elliot carried himself with an air of nobility, which led Chris to asshe was just another man Stephanie was
clinging to
Stephanie let out a short, mocking laugh. “And what does that have to do with you?
“If you really cut ties with the Hart family, what do you think you have left? Do you honestly believe those men
would wil want you?” As he spoke, his eyes flicked toward Elliot.
The air around Elliot grew even colder. He took a step forward. “Miss Giovanni, why don’t you wait forin the
car?
Chris froze for a second at the way he addressed her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStephanie had no interest in wasting words with Chris. She nodded and glanced at Elliot. “Mind your limits”
After all, the Ashford family was one of the most powerful forces in Long Harbor.
Sebastian was personally staying in Long Harbor this time, which meant whatever he was planning was serious.
If Chris ended up provoking the Ashford family, it could make things even more difficult for Sebastian.
Elliot knew Stephanie was thinking about Sebastian's best interests, so he nodded. “Understood.”
Stephanie took one last look at Chris, who still seemed stunned, then turned and walked away.
Just as she passed by, Chris suddenly grabbed her wrist. “You need to explain this to me.”
He could not understand why that man was so nice to her.
But before he could demand an answer, the next second, he was slammed against the wall, his head knocking
against it with a dull thud.
Elliot had no patience for anyone insulting Stephanie like that.
‘If Sebastian found out I let this slide, | would not hear the end of it, he wondered.
Chris’ fury exploded. “You son of a bitch!”
Without hesitation, he swung at Elliot, and the two men broke into a full-blown fight. Even with only one good
arm, Chris still managed to hold his ground.
Stephanie could not be bothered to watch. She simply turned around and walked away.
Seeing her leave only made Chris angrier. “Stephanie, stop right there!” He moved to chase after her, but Elliot
cut him off again.
With only one usable arm, Chris was at a disadvantage. Meanwhile, Elliot was no slouch when it cto fighting.
Within moments, Chris began losing ground.

Chapter 117
Inside Olivia's hospital room, Catlin and Tyler heard the commotion and rushed out.
Seeing Chris fighting a man they did not recognize, they were both stunned. “Tyler, go help him! Catlin called out
anxiously.
Before Tyler could step in, Elliot sent Chris stumbling back with a powerful blow. His voice was calm but laced
with warning,
“Mr. Ashford, if you keep this up, you might not have a functioning arm left. Are you sure you want to continue?
he said.
Chris’ leg was already injured. He glared at Elliot, eyes flashing dangerously,
Elliot, however, simply adjusted his slightly disheveled suit with practiced ease, then turned and walked away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTyler, pale-faced, hurried over to Chris. “Are you okay?” His eyes flicked down to Chris‘ leg, which was trembling
slightly.
Tyler himself was still sore. Elliot had not held back earlier.
Chris narrowed his eyes. Before he could respond, a pained moan cfrom Olivia's hospital room.
Catlin was the first to rush back inside.
Tyler glanced at Chris. “She’s really not doing well... You know, she used to be obsessed with her looks. This
morning, when she saw how much hair she was losing...”
He trailed off, unable to continue, his voice thick with worry.
Chris looked at Tyler, then at the hospital room door.
