Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 78 Chris was furious and stormed off Jennifer peeked in cautiously, relieved to see Stephanie Giovanni's expression was still calm before stepping inside.

God knows how terrifying it is when the boss is angry.

"Is he gone?" Stephanie asked.

Jennifer nodded, “Yeah, but he looked a mess, and he smelled terrible!" Stephanie sighed.

"He was soaked and limping. You really did a number on him,” Jennifer said.

"I didn't hit him" "Really? Because it seems like Chris got beaten up pretty badly. His arms and legs looked like they were bruised all over." Stephanie fell silent.

If Chris had been beaten, he certainly had taken quite a few hits these past few days.

First from Sebastian, then from her, and now from Elliot.

"Ugh, what can I say? Teaching a fool is just too exhausting." "Wait, are you calling Chris a fool?" -No way! He manages a huge company like Ashford Group; if he's a fool, then the previous chairman must have been utterly irresponsible.

"He's a fool, can't even take a hit" At that moment, Stephanie truly believed Chris was a fool.

Everything that needed to be said had been said, and she had even taken action, yet he still didn't get 1. ic.

It was infuriating...

Meanwhile, Chris was in the car with Kevin, who was shocked to see him drenched when he got in.

What on earth was that smell? "Sir, what happened to you...?" Chris replied, "If you still can't figure out those guys around Stephanie..." "She's moved to Whispering Bay now." Before Chris could finish, Kevin quickly shared the latest news, trying to keep himself composed.

1/4 22:10 Mon, 3 Mar Chapter 78 The air in the car went dead silent.

48%%1 Chris narrowed his eyes, "What did you say?" Stephanie moved to Whispering Bay? Kevin nodded. "Miss Giovanni moved out of Cloudridge Valley. She's now living at Whispering Bay" The news hit Chris like a bomb, shattering his compostire.

His mind went blank, thoughts spiraling out of control.

"Are you sure After a long pause, Chris managed to ask, his voice barely audible, his head buzzing.

Kevin nodded firmly. "Absolutely." Chris was stunned.

Stephanie had actually moved into Whispering Bay? Why? What was the reason? When she had appeared there before, he thought she was just brought in by one of those men.

She was just there... for what? As he pondered this, Chris felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest.

Why is she living there?" He asked, voicing his inner turmoil.

Although Stephanie hadn't shown the intense feelings for him that the world claimed she had, she had always kept her life clean and simple, with only two friends, Allison and Ella.

Why were there suddenly so many men around her? Why was she living at Whispering Bay? And who were those men? Kevin continued, "It should be because of the owner of Whispering Bay. I've checked, although I haven't seen definitive property evidence yet" "But when the land was bought, the contract was signed by a Mr. Blake, a 58-year-old man" Chris frowned, "58" Kevin nodded, "Yes, according to the information, the land was bought eight years ago, so that Mr. Blake would be 66 years old now Chris fell silent again.

In the confined car, the air grew heavy once more.

2/4 22:10 Mon, 3 Mar Chapter 781 66...

The owner of Whispering Bay was now 66 years old? Stephanie, with a man that old? Chris' breathing grew shallow and rapid.

Just as Kevin was about to speak again, his phone buzzed, vibrating. It was Catlin Hart calling.

Kevin glanced at Chris, "Sir, it's Mrs. Hart." "Answer it." Chris replied automatically.

He could barely hear his own voice, nor did he register what Kevin said, His mind was consumed by the image of Stephanie possibly being with a 66-year-old man.

Was she debasing herself to that extent for a man?" Kevin answered the call. "Mrs. Hart." "Kevin, is Chris in a meeting at the company? I can't get through to his phone." Kevin looked at Chris in the back seat, whose face was growing darker by the second. Before Kevin could respond to Catlin, Chris suddenly pushed the car door open and got out. Kevin's heart skipped a beat.

-He instinctively said to Catlin Hart on the phone, "Yes, Madam, Mr. Ashford is in a meeting." Just as he finished speaking, the sound of car horns blared from the traffic lights ahead.

Kevin was speechless.

Curlin had heard it too.

"Meeting? Why does it sound like you're outside?" Kevin panicked, "Well, Mr. Ashford is busy, Mrs. Hart, I have to go now." He hung up the phone immediately, not wanting to deal with her any longer.

Stephanie Was Dragged Back.

Jennifer's eyes darted nervously as she watched Chris, still dripping wet, stride back into the office.

She instinctively glanced at Stephanie.

But before Jennifer could react, Chris seized Stephanie's wrist and dragged her back into her office, his anger palpable. The moment the door slammed shut, Stephanie wrenched her arm free, her eyes blazing, "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Stephanie snapped, her voice laced with disgust.

3/4 10 Mon, 3 Mar Chapter S Tm going to marry you?" Chris declared.

Stephanie stared at him, dumbfounded What is he even talking about?

Before Stephanie could gather her thoughts, the office door swungm open, revealing Sebastian, his expression thunderous behind his gold-rimmed glasses, The intensity in his gaze made Stephanie's heart skip a beat.

Chris face darkened at the sight of Sebastian What are you doing here?" Stephanie asked, walking towards Sebastian.

Elliot had told her he had important matters to attend to and wouldn't even be able to join her for lunch.

She had planned to grab sspicy food with Ella later.

Sebastian removed his Burberry coat and then his Hermes scarf, handing them to Stephanie.

His every move exuded effortless sophistication and undeniable power.

Stephanie was puzzled.

Why is he taking off his clothes? A sense of foreboding washed over her.

As she accepted the garments, Sebastian, without a word to her, advanced towards Chris "You want to marry her?" Sebastian challenged, his voice dripping with menace.

Chris glared at Sebastian. "Yes, I can give her my name. Can you?" Stephanie's heart pounded in her chest at Chris' pointed question.

She instinctively turned to look at Sebastian, the memory of their drunken kiss flashing through her mind It was the start of something messy, something she had been trying to ignore.

But now, with Chris question hanging in the air, she couldn't help but m wonder what Sebastian's answer would be Could Sebastian give her a title? AD mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
