Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 98 Although Rebecca didn't know the exact purpose of that ring. Jackson had indeed given it to Stephanie.

Because Jackson said it was to make amends.

So when he took the ring, Rebecca was quite puzzled.

But as subordinates, they had no right to speculate about the boss's intentions.

When Jackson heard Rebecca say that he had given the ring to Stephanie, his expression changed drastically. "I gave it to Stephanie?" Rebecca nodded. "Yes, you gave it to Miss Giovanni." Jackson went silent.

In that split second, he felt that he was doomed.

Recalling how he had forcibly stuffed the box into Stephanie's hands, Jackson slapped his forehead in frustration.

He had done the wrong thing. Thi was going to be a disaster! Glaring at Rebecca, he snapped, "Why didn't you remind me?" Giving a ring as an apology? What kind of nonsense was that? Rebecca replied, "I did ask you, but you just said it was for Miss Giovanni. Then, I didn't dare say anything more." Everyone in the company knew that Jackson hated it when people tried to guess his thoughts.

Since he had said it was for Stephanie, Rebecca naturally didn't dare to question it further.

it to the wrong person?" Seeing Jackson's expression now, Rebecca hesitated. "Did you g "Have you ever seen someone apologize by giving a ring?" Jackson's tone was menacing.

Exactly!' Rebecca thought.

She had wanted to ask at the time, but Jackson had been in a foul mood over the situation with Lilian and Stephanie.

Rebecca couldn't help but ask, "What do we do now? Should we ask for it back?" As soon as she said this, Jackson shot her another sharp glare, making her shut up immediately.

Ask for it back? Jackson never took back something he had already given away.

But giving a ring as an apology...

Thinking about it, Jackson felt a massive headache coming on.

Retrieving it wasn't really an option, but his gut told him that this ring was going to cause a lot of trouble.

Sure enough, at that moment, his phone rang-it was Elliot calling.

1/4 09:28 Sat, 8 Mar Chapter 98 His expression immediately changed as he answered, "Mr. Grant "Mr. Giovanni says we have no intention of exporting our minerals. Thus, you'd better not waste your efforts, Mr. Hodge" "What? But you were clearly selecting potential partners before...” Beep! Before Jackson could finish his sentence, the call was abruptly cut off.

Jackson was stunned.

What he said was true. There was no way he had misheard that Sebastian was planning to integrate minerals into the international market.

Yet, now they were saying there was no export plan? Thinking about Lilian's argument with Stephanie and Sebastian's darkened face at the time...

Then, recalling Elliot's words just now, Jackson couldn't help but suspect it was because of that ring.

'Could it be that Sebastian saw it?' Jackson sucked in a sharp breath, feeling his brain throb with pain.

After a moment's thought, he turned to Rebecca. "GiveStephanie's phone number." "Yes." Rebecca quickly pulled out her phone and sent Stephanie's number to Jackson.

However, Jackson didn't call right away. At this hour, he was sure that Sebastian was likely with Stephanie.

If he asked Stephanie directly, it would only make things worse as Sebastian hated anyone trying to get close to his family when it cto business deals.

Therefore, it was better to wait until work hours tomorrow.

Just then, Landyn called. "I'm downstairs at your company. I'm here to pick up the ring." "Pick up what? Don't ever askfor anything again!" 'Damn it! He couldn't even manage his own household, and now he was dragginginto this mess over a stupid ring? Now what? Giving the ring to Stephanie meant he had completely offended Sebastian?' Sebastian's feelings for Stephanie weren't that simple. His handling of the Casalini family situation had made that clear. Jackson blamed it all on Landyn. After all, if not for him, Jackson wouldn't have gotten himself into this mess.

Just thinking about the Casalini family's fate made Jackson break out in a cold sweat over Sebastian.

Landyn, on the other end, was annoyed by Jackson's sudden outburst. "What do you mean? Don't tellyou gave the ring to Jessica? "You two can't even handle your woman, and you still have the nerve to say you know me?" "Hey! What the hell are you so angry about?" Landyn was puzzled. After all, Jackson had been fine on the phone earlier, and now he was blowing up? 2/4 09:28 Sat, 8 Mar Chapter 98 Landyn was trembling. "Just tellthe truth. Did you give the ring to Jessica?" Jackson was not in the mood to hear it anymore.

Annoyed, Jackson hung up on Landyn.

94%1 +12 Just hearing the word "ring" made his head hurt.

Damn that ring! However, just as he hung up, Landyn called again. "Tellthe truth. Did you give the ring to Jessica?" "I gave it to your grandpa!" Jackson was furious.

Landyn replied, "Go ask for it back." Jackson went silent.

His head hurt even more.

Overhearing their conversation, Rebecca couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. After all, their grandfathers had both been dead for years.

***** At Whispering Bay.

After having dinner with Stephanie, Sebastian went out and didn't return until midnight.

Stephanie, who was busy with the design project for Skyriver Travel, had also worked late.

Soon, she heard an engine outside.

Stephanie was worried that Sebastian had been drinking and got up to check. She was also feeling thirsty and wanted swater.

As expected, she heard Elliot's voice at the door. "You don't have to bother those people. Why even drink with them?" Sebastian was sitting on the sofa at the moment.

He took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his aching nose but said nothing.

"I'll have someone make you sblack coffee," said Elliot.

"Go home," Sebastian said in a low voice.

Even at a distance, Stephanie could hear the drunken slur in his tone. He definitely had a lot to drink.

When Elliot heard Sebastian's words, he looked at the latter for a moment and nodded.

Elliot left.

Stephanie walked downstairs.

Hearing the footsteps, Sebastian turned. His usually cold and deep eyes, now softened by alcohol, En carried a rare tenderness. *Stefi, chere* 3/4 94% Chapter 98 His gentle voice made Stephanie's heart treude, She stepped forward and noticed his flushed face. Instinctively, she reached out and touched his torehead.

"You don't have a fever this time?

Whenever Sebastian drank, he was prone to fevers, and she alwaysm ended up taking care of him through the night Sebastian would definitely not spend the night out, and Elliot had to send him hevery time.

He never allowed anyone else near him when he was drunk-only her

Looking at his reddened face, Stephanie couldn't help but ask,m "Didn't Elliot say you didn't need to deal with them? Then why drink? Before she could react, a hand wrapped around her wrist, pulling her onto his lap.

Caught off guard, she fell forward, her lips landing right on his Stephanie's eyes widened, and she instinctively tried to pull away, But before she could, Sebastian held her chin and deepened the kiss. The taste of alcohol and roses lingered on his lips.

Stephanie struggled instinctively.

But in a flash, she was flipped over by Sebastian and pinned down on the sofa.

In that instant, Stephanie felt as if her heart was going to leap out of her throat.

"Sebastian..." Stephanie's breath hitched, and she called out to Sebastian in a low voice.

That one word made Sebastian freeze.

He propped himself up to look at her.

In his drunken eyes, Stephanie caught a rare tenderness flicker.

And it was this tenderness that struck a chord deep within Stephanie's heart.

At that moment, the emotional walls she had built over the years began to crumble. Without another word, Sebastian kissed her again.
