Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 218 Sebastian took the blanket off Stephanie's head and gently pinched her cheek.

Stephanie gave her a resentful look. "Didn't the doctor say I..." "Yeah, he did." Sebastian nodded.

"Then why did you still..." Stephanie accused, her voice trailing off. Even though Sebastian hadn't actually done anything to her, his demeanor-like he might devour her at any moment-still frightened her.

Before, there was an invisible barrier between them, and she had all sorts of expectations for him. It even felt like she could never clearly see the future. Suddenly, they were together, and she finally realized how wild he was.

Seeing her lost in thought, Sebastian asked, "What are you thinking about?" Stephanie mumbled, "Thinking about how bad you are." Not just any kind of bad.

Sebastian chuckled softly, "Yeah, but you like that." "This jerk. Stephanie fell silent. When a supposedly honorable person let loose, it was even harder to handle, and with Sebastian being like this now, Stephanie felt a bit helpless.

Just as the two were about to say something, Sebastian's phone rang; it was Elliot calling. Sebastian pressed the answer button and said, "Speak." "He's shown up," Elliot said.

Sebastian's gentle demeanor turned icy in an instant. He simply said, “Okay," before hanging up.

He then glanced at Stephanie lying on the bed and gently brushed the hair off her forehead. "Sleep tight. I'll be back soon." Stephanie asked, "Are you going out?" "Yeah, I'll be back in two hours," Sebastian replied. The way he emphasized the tfelt like a husband letting his wife know his plans, which warmed Stephanie's heart.

After Sebastian left, her phone buzzed. It was Ella. she answered right away and said, "Ella, do you still have the energy to check out the gossip now?" So much had happened in just a few hours. Lorenzo had mentioned that Ella was so scared she fainted, and yet, even all the way in Fiorenza, she had the energy to follow the Long Harbor .

Ella replied, "Yeah, I'm about to go crazy with fear. Can't I at least check the gossip to ease my nerves? Don't talk about my bad luck; let's dive into sjuicy stories." Stephanie thought, 'Well, at least Ella could still chat about gossip to calm herself down. That's not bad.

"You have no idea how scary Lorenzo is. I mean, really..." Ella paused. "Ugh, let's not talk about him anymore, or I might faint again." Just thinking about what Lorenzo took her through made Ella's heart race with fear. In short, it was really scary. "Alright, alright, let's not talk about him anymore." Stephanie comforted Ella softly. When she heard Sebastian say that Lorenzo took Ella to confront the Dohrn family, she knew it was definitely more frightening than what happened at Long Harbor airport.

Still, she admired Ella. To faint from fear yet manage to adjust herself like that-Ella had an extraordinary inner strength.

1/3 72% Chapter 218 Ella changed the subject. "Amber's something else, taking on the whole Hart family by herself. It seemed like Amber was ready to go all out.

"You're right," Stephanie said. Everyone in the Hart family was supporting Olivia, while Amber was making all this noise against her-it was like she was taking on the whole family.

Ella laughed. "She's so bold, and I kind of admire her. What's got her making such a scene today? She even threatened to jump off with her baby.

"Even though I don't agree with her dragging the child into this , if she doesn't take a hard stand against the Hart family, she won't get anywhere.

"The people in the Hart family are bullies who prey on the weak. This time, they've finally met their match. Just look at the chaos it's caused; it's total madness over there." Although Stephanie hadn't experienced any losses with the Hart family and had managed to stir up plenty of chaos while distancing herself from it, Ella was still thrilled to see the Hart family struggling-that was karma for them.

Even though Stephanie hadn't suffered in the past, seeing how the Hart family treated her frustrated Ella. However, even though Amber had nothing to do with Ella, she felt incredibly satisfied watching her take on the entire Hart family.

Stephanie heard the gloating tone in Ella's voice and thought for a moment before saying, "It might be because of those millions in medical bills." "Millions in medical bills? Are you serious, millions?" Ella exclaimed. "Have they found a way to save Olivia? Oh, please don't let her have a chance to live." A person like Olivia deserved to suffer and die from pain.

Stephanie replied, "You could say that." "Huh? They really found it?" Ella's tone was noticeably downcast.

Stephanie smiled. "But finding it is just the sas not finding it, only giving a bit more hope." What awaited was even bigger despair.

"Just say it all at once," Ella complained. She felt like she was on a rollercoaster and couldn't handle it.

Seeing how impatient Ella was, Stephanie smiled helplessly. "Allison cback to the country and visited the Hart family to check on Olivia." "Why would she go see Olivia? What happened while I was away? Why did Allison want to see Olivia?" Ella was immediately upset, even a bit angry.

Lately, the Hart family had been completely cut off. Getting into hospitals was impossible, and doctors wouldn't make house calls. To Ella, this was exactly what the Hart family deserved. But now that Allison had gone to see Olivia, Ella was really unhappy about it.

Stephanie realized Ella had misunderstood and said, “Why are you so angry? Do you really think Allison needs their small change for medical bills?" Then, Stephanie explained the whole situation. Allison hadn't planned to go, but since Stephanie was feeling bored, she sent Allison over. That visit ended up giving the Hart family shope, although it cat a steep price.

When Ella heard about the $1.5 million per pill medication taken over a week, she was completely shocked. "10 5 million dollars? What kind of ridiculously expensive medicine did Allison talk about?" Stephanie replied, “I have no idea what kind of medicine it is, but she claims it's real.” "Is she joking with the Hart family?" Ella didn't believe it at all. She thought even if such a medicine existed, it shouldn't be so crazily overpriced.

2/3 22 ☐☐☐☐72% Chapter 218 0 Stephanie said, "I don't know if it's a joke or not, but seeing Amber make such a scene, I guess the Hart family believed it." Ella took a sharp breath. "How did I not realize before that Allison could be good at deceiving? Does the Hart family have over ten million to treat Olivia now?"

Lately, the Hart family had been in a desperate situation, with no way out. With just a word. Sebastian had completely blocked the Hart Group's path, and now it was almost bankrupt. Maybe Chad had realized something was off and withdrew sfunds. But those funds absolutely wouldn't be used to treat Olivia; he had another family to care for outside.

Stephanie said, "If they had that much money, they wouldn't have been in such chaos." Ella agreed, "Exactly. With Amber making all that trouble, it's likely that Catlin wants to take all the money Tyler has."

Anyway, was determined to scrape together the medical fees. She was willing to lose everything just to save Olivia. 'Wow, what a moving devotion, Ella thought with a sneer. Stephanie asked, "So that's why Amber is making all this fuss?" Ella replied, "Yeah."

Stephanie thought it was quite a compelling . She realized she had underestimated Amber, thinking she wouldn't be able to handle it. After all, the Hart family always supported one another. Even Stephanie, a blood relative, had once been excluded, let alone Amber, who was an outsider. "Alright, enough about the Hart family. Where are you now? Do you wantto send someone to pick you up?" Stephanie asked.

"You can't pickup." "What?" "I'm at Lorenzo's villa right now. He won't letleave." 'Lorenzo won't let her go? What's up with that?' Stephanie, who usually wasn't that curious, couldn't help but ask, "Spill it.
