Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 222 Chapter 222 Stephanie was chatting with Ella when the call suddenly dropped. She tried calling back, faut no one picked any ser more attempts, there was still no answer.

Sebastian approached, quickly taking the phone from her hand and popping a pill into her mouth. “This is your pre-med medication." Stephanie put the pill in her mouth and grimaced. 'It's so bitter. The doctors around Sebastian always prescribe the most bitter medicine.

Sebastian handed her a glass of water, and she quickly swallowed the pill. Then he popped a piece of candy into her mont The sweet orange flavor spread through her, making her feel a little better.

"How is it?" Sebastian asked.

"It's sweet," Stephanie replied. The bitterness still was all gone.

Sebastian ruffled her soft hair playfully. “You're pretty brave to spread rumors about Lorenzo "We were just guessing." Stephanie's cheeks turned red. Sofia had said it before, and Stephanie had her own suspicions too After all, why did Lorenzo always look but never take action? "We? You and who?" "Sofia." Sebastian's eyebrows raised in surprise.

Stephanie quickly covered her mouth. She shouldn't talk about this anymore; it would definitely reach Lorenzo's ears, and she'd be in serious trouble along with Sofia.

Sebastian handed her sclothes to put on and said, "Your sharp tongue must be influenced by Macro Stephanie didn't think so. Macro had the guts to speak both behind someone's back and to their face, while she only whispered behind backs-though that wasn't much better.

There was no snow in Long Harbor today, but it was still freezing outside due to the strong wind. Inside, however, it felt nice and warm.

After getting ready, Stephanie and Sebastian went downstairs together. Henry approached respectfully and said, "Mr. Giovanni, someone from the Hart family is waiting at the front gate." The front gate was about 3,000 feet from the main castle building.

Sebastian glanced at Stephanie, his voice holding a clear threat. “Stefi, if those people upset you, why not just..." Stephanie's brow furrowed slightly. "Who is it?" "It's Mrs. Hart," Henry replied.

It was just as Stephanie had expected. Chad was now completely focused on those twins. Tyler was injure i wouldn't be coming. Plus, with Amber around, if Chad continued to devote himself to Olivia, Amber would definitely cause a huge scene.

Since it was Catlin, Stephanie squinted slightly. "If she wants to wait, let her wait." She had no plans to meet Catlin. It was all 1/4 72%1 Chapter 222 about Olivia anyway, and someone like Catlin shouldn't be given any hope Upon hearing what Stephanie said, Sebastian shot Henry a significant look, his eyes deep and unreadable. Henry instantly grasped Sebastian's meaning and echoed to Stephanie, "Yes" -53 Sebastian then took Stephanie directly to the restaurant for breakfast, while Henry quietly left the castle with speople.

At the front gate, Catlin was furious. "Why are you stopping me? I just cto see my daughter. As her mother, don't I have the right to see her?" The security guards remained silent, blocking Catlin's way with cold stares. No matter how much Catlin raged, she got no response, which only pushed her closer to breaking down. "Letin. You must letin.” The cold wind howled through the Shallow Bay Area, feeling like a knife slicing across Catlin's face. She had rushed out in a hurry, barely dressed warmly, and now she was shivering from the cold.

Just then, Henry cout with two servants.

Seeing him, Catlin quickly called out in distress, “Henry, could you please call Stephanie for me? I need to see her." Henry gave her a cold stare and then signaled to the two servants behind him. The servants nodded in understanding and approached Catlin.

Since the previous incidents, even the servants in the Shallow Bay Area were all from Sebastian's team over in Fiorenza. They were specially trained, and their demeanor radiated intimidation.

When Catlin met their eyes, a strong sense of danger washed over her. As the two approached, she instinctively stepped back. "W-what are you going to do? I'm just here to find my daughter." "I'm telling you, Stephanie, the little princess of the Lucano family, is my biological daughter! If you do anything to me, she won't spare you," Catlin shouted, struggling to maintain her composure.

What she didn't see coming was now, while she resented Stephanie for her past actions at the Hart residence, she was filled with regret.

If she'd known from the start that Stephanie grew up with the Lucano family and how much they adored her, she might have leaned more towards Stephanie over Olivia back then. Maybe then, the Hart family wouldn't have turned out like this.

Suddenly, the two servants grabbed Catlin. Startled, she shouted, "Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me. I'm Stephanie's real mom. You can't treatthis way. Let go of me!" Catlin struggled fiercely. However, the moment she mentioned Stephanie, the atmosphere around these people grew even more threatening.

A painful scream echoed across the Shallow Bay Area as Catlin clutched her nearly injured knee, breathing heavily-she had been forcefully thrown out of the establishment.

It was hard for her to believe they would do this to her. She sat on the ground with her knee in her hands, and beads of cold sweat trickled down her face from the pain.

One of the servants pulled something cold and pointed at Catlin.

Seeing that cold, black gun, Catlin shuddered all over. "W-What do you want?" she stammered, trembling uncontrollably.

After witnessing Tyler return from Shallow Bay in such a state, Catlin knew that the people around Stephanie were not to be trifled with.

2/4 Sat, Chapter 222 'But I'm Stephanie's mother-how dare they treatlike this? Catlin was stunned, struggling to find the work You. You all...

At that moment, Henry stepped forward, moving out from between the two servants with his handsm clasped behind his back. He regarded Catlin with sharp, penetrating eyes. "Do you know why your son's hand was broken when be left Stallow Bay earlier?" "W-Why?" Catlin stammered.

"Because he tried to hit Stephanie, Henry replied coolly.

"But he's her brother," Catlin protested.

Henry's expression hardened. "Brother? Seems like you won't be getting back hsafely today? "W-What do you mean?" Catlin's breath caught, her heart racing with fear. What did he mean by not making it back safely? What are they planning to do? I'm Stephanie's real mother, after all'

Henry adjusted his slightly wrinkled cuffs. "The little princess, cherished by both the Lucano family from m ve Fiorenza and the Giovannis, personally raised by Mrs. Lucano and Mr. Giovanni, isn't someone just anyone can claim relation to." Catlin felt a wave of suffocation wash over her.

Henry continued, "You say the little Lucano princess is your daughter? Then what is Mrs. Lucano to her?" Catlin fell silent, a deep sense of suffocation washing over her once more.

Henry pressed on, "You've always claimed she's your daughter, but during these years at the Hart residence, it didn't seem like you treated her well. What's going on now? Are you trying to get something from her?" "No, I'm not," Catlin protested weakly.

"Not?" Henry sneered, his laughter dripping with sarcasm.

A shiver ran through Catlin's body as she felt utterly embarrassed.

Henry leaned closer, stating, "If you're not looking for advantages, then why are you so eager to find he now?" He emphasized the word "eager,” as if he was exposing the most shameful thoughts lurking in Catlin's mind for all to see. After breakfast, Stephanie and Sebastian headed out. As they drove off, Sebastian suddenly pulled Stephanie into his arms. shielding her face when he noticed Catlin and the others at the gate.

Stephanie was taken by surprise by his sudden movement. She lifted her small face from his embrace and asked. "What are you doing?" Sebastian leaned down and kissed her lips, cutting off any further questions she might have had. Stephanie was confused. Instinctively, she wanted to resist, fearing she might trigger this lion-like man into losing control again. She had been enjoying the ocean view when he suddenly did this.

ven Only after they passed those guys did Sebastian let go of Stephanie, but his breathing was noticeably fast an Stephanie instinctively tried to pull away. She realized that whenever Sebastian breathed like this, she was in danger.

But just as she moved a foot away, he scooped her right back into his arms. "Why are you avoiding me, huh?" he asked, his gaze searching hers.
