Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 217 Chapter 217 72% +53 Lorenzo watched as Ella leaned her head against his knee, her small face buried in his lap and tears soaking his pants. At that moment, he seriously considered throwing Ella out of the car.

"Women are such a pain," he muttered, annoyance creeping into his voice. He couldn't help but think about how Stephanie was also a crybaby and wonder how Sebastian had put up with it.

Lorenzo gently picked Ella up and moved her to the seat. Noticing her clothes were a mess, he felt much more frustrated. He took off his jacket and draped it over her.

Meanwhile, in Long Harbor, Sebastian had just coaxed Stephanie to bed.

It was especially cold that night, with the warmth of the heater inside contrasting sharply with the snowy view outside. Stephanie sat by the bay window, refusing to go to bed, and Sebastian eventually ended up carrying her to her room.

Stephanie complained, "You won't letgo out and play, and now I can't even look outside?" She absolutely loved the snow.

Sebastian replied, "You need to get more sleep." Both Macro and the lady doctor had said that Stephanie needed rest to recover faster.

Stephanie pouted, "But I've already slept a lot during the day, and now I can't fall asleep at all." "I know," Sebastian said.

Stephanie was confused. 'You know? Then why are you makinggo to bed?' Sebastian glanced down at her confused expression, a sly smile creeping across his lips.

Stephanie felt a twinge of unease at his smile. “No, I don't want to." Noticing her strong reaction, Sebastian playfully flicked her forehead. "You silly girl, what's going on in that head of yours?" Stephanie gasped internally. "That's not what I thought he meant? Why was he smiling atlike that? It was really unsettling.

Ever since the barriers between them had dropped, Sebastian had beca bit too shameless around her. In her mind, he used to be a perfect gentleman, but she had witnessed his ruthless side, and lately, it seemed he had no limits when it came. to intimacy.

Sebastian gently placed her on the bed and turned to grab smedicine. "I'll put this on first." Stephanie fell silent. 'Not again!' "You need to take your medicine again, too," Sebastian added.

"I don't want to take it," Stephanie whined. The medicine was too bitter.

Sebastian turned his head with a gentle smile, his eyes twinkling. "How about sorange-flavored candy?" "Alright then." Stephanie's expression brightened. Orange-flavored candy was her favorite, but Sebastian wouldn't let her have too much sugar. Except when she was sick and needed medicine; then he would give her candy to cheer her up. Any other time, he'd warn her about getting cavities.

***** 1/4 Chapter 217 The Shallow Bay Area was warm and cozy, while the Hart residence felt unusually gloomy after Sebastian ordered the blockade. The mansion looked the same, but it had lost its luxurious charm.

Following Allison's visit that day, the tension in the Hart residence skyrocketed, Amber overheard that Olivia's weekly medical expenses exceeded ten million dollars. Without hesitation, she took Tyler's card and phone, forcefully transferring money from his account to hers, Of course, Tyler was not happy about it, and the situation spiraled completely out of control.

Now, Amber was sitting on the windowsill, holding the child, Tyler, unable to use his hands at that moment, felt a rush of anxiety seeing her like that. "What are you doing? Get down here right now!" Amber shouted back, "No! You have to transfer all the money into my account today, or I'll jump off here with the kid: Catlin had actually talked to Tyler about pooling money to help Olivia first. Amber never expected Olivia could influence things so much-that was over ten million.

"You get down here first." Tyler's head throbbed with anger. Despite his feelings for Amber, his son was still his responsibility; he couldn't just ignore him.

Catlin was furious at Amber's behavior. "You really are happy to see our family fall apart, aren't you? Get down here now? Amber glared at the furious Catlin and snapped back, "Am I the one breaking up the Hart family? That's a serious accusation." "Catlin, I really admire you," Amber continued. "Haven't you seen Olivia's true colors yet? And you still want to help her without thinking about yourself?" If Catlin hadn't realized Olivia's true nature before, the necklace incident should have opened his eyes. Yet, Catlin still wanted to help her.

"Honestly, even if you toldOlivia isn't your secret daughter, I wouldn't believe you," Amber sneered.

What kind of foster mother would go to such lengths for a foster daughter? Not related by blood, yet Catlin was willing to give everything to Olivia.

Catlin stepped forward, ready to lash out at Amber. "You need to shut up, you terrible woman. Today, I'll.....” "Con then. Let's all jump together," Amber interrupted.

"Enough!" Tyler shouted, unable to take it anymore.

The heated argument between Catlin and Amber cto a sudden halt. Catlin glared at Amber with rage, but Amber didn't care. She just sat on the windowsill, knowing she wouldn't get the answer she wanted.

Tyler glared at her in frustration. "Get down from there." "Transfer all the money to my account," Amber demanded. "Only our son should have access to your money. Who does Olivia think she is, anyway?" Catlin tried to speak, but Amber cut her off. “I don't mind if you want to give it your all for Olivia. But if you think y go after Tyler, just see if I let that happen." n "Are you really trying to tear our family apart? Was it Stephanie who sent you? How much did she pay you?" Catlin snapped.

She was completely furious. Just thinking about how Stephanie had turned the Hart family upside down recently made her 2/4 Chapter 217 sure haber was working for Stephanie. She believed Stephanie wouldn't let the Hart family know a moment of peace.

Amber cinickled sarcastically. "Having a mom like you is just bad luck for her. No wonder she wants everyone to know she's cunt ties with you. No child would want a mom like you? "That's enough, Amber Tyler shot back. Just hearing about Stephanie cutting ties with the Hart family gave him a headache.

Initially, he thought Stephanie was just throwing a tantrum to get attention because everyone was rallying around Olivia. Part as the unfolded, it becclear that the biggest joke was the Hart family itself.

Amber declared, "Enough? I'm telling you right now-your money is only for our son. No one else can touch a penny of it, unless our son and I are out of the picture? "Fine, take it all. Are you satisfied now?" Tyler, overwhelmed by the noise, finally succumbed to Amber's demands.

"Tyler, Catlin called out, her tone clearly urgent.

Seeing, Catlin try to intervene, Amber quickly jumped down from the windowsill with her son, rushed over, and shoved Catlin out of the room before locking the door behind her.

Caught off guard, Catlin was pushed outside. As she cto her senses and tried to get back in, she found the door locked. Amber, open the door. Letin, she shouted.

Inside, Amber turned to Tyler and said, "You're serious about this, right?" Tyler asked, "Did you get into my bed back then just for the money?"

Instantly, the air felt heavy. Amber swallowed hard, looked at Tyler, and replied, "You have money, and you're attractive. But lethe clear-whether it's you or anyone else, I won't accept the idea of raising a sibling like that."

She spoke directly, her tone firm. "If we didn't have a child, it would be a different story-but we do, Your M e parents are fine, but I really don't want someone unrelated to be claiming my son's benefits. What do you think?" In simple terms, she had once been drawn to him, but given the current situation, it was all about the money. After all, she had a child to support. In the Hart family, she couldn't expect to find love at all.

Meanwhile, in the Shallow Bay Area, Stephanie felt drowsy as her phone buzzed repeatedly with incoming messages. The sound of running water cfrom the bathroom; Sebastian was taking a shower.

Stephanie picked up her phone and saw that Ella had sent several voice messages and a video. She opened the video and noticed a woman sitting by the window. Upon closer inspection, she recognized the villa as the Hart residence. And that figure-it was Amber. What's happening now? Stephanie gasped. She opened Ella's voice message: "Stefi, the Hart family is in chaos right now. I don't know what Amber is up to, it looks like she's holding a baby." As Ella spoke, Stephanie zoomed in on the video. Sure enough, she saw tiny baby feet peeking out near Amber's waist.

The room belongs to Tyler. Is Amber causing trouble with Tyler? Wait a second, wasn't Ella just crying on the phone with me? And now she has the energy to watch this unfold Stephanie thought.

Just as she was about to call Ella, the bathroom door opened. Sebastian stepped out, wrapped in a towel. Instant, er cheeks turned red, and she quickly put down the phone and dove under the covers.

Sebastian chuckled softly at her reaction. "What are you hiding for?" "You jerk, I'm never talking to you again!" Stephanie shot back.
