Standing behind Chris, Kevin scratched his head. Miss Giovanni's sharp tongue was no joke-she certainly wasn’t
backing down
Chris gritted his teeth. “Stephanie, | know you're clever, but letmake something clear. If you tellwho
owns. Whispering Bay, maybe I'll consider...”
“Ugh. Chris, are you really that dumb?”
Stephanie couldn’t hold back her frustration anymore.
Maybe consider what? Was he thinking there was a possibility of a follow-up between them?”
Did he really think he was skind of prize everyone wanted a piece of?
Chris snapped, “You...”
“Stefi”
Before Chris could finish his sentence, a voice from the distance interrupted him.
Both of them turned to see Jackson and Rebecca approaching.
Jackson wore a warm smile, his gaze towards Stephanie soft and affectionate.
Seeing Jackson. Chris's face turned an even darker shade of black.
Jackson reached Stephanie’s side, glancing at the things in her hands. “Heading to the hot springs?”
He spoke casually, and Stephanie nodded in response.
Jackson's tone grew even more gentle. “You should hurry. It’s freezing out here.”

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWas it just his imagination, or did Chris detect a hint of affection in Jackson's tone?
His expression darkened even further.
Stephanie nodded. “Yeah, I'm heading there now.”
“Wait.”
Chris reached out to stop her. He still had a lot of questions.
With her phone turned off and her whereabouts hard to pin down, this was his chance to finally get some
answers. But just as his hand reached for her, Jackson grabbed his wrist. “Chris, you planning on wrecking that
hand too?”
Jackson's gaze briefly flicked to Chris’s casted hand.
That single glance was an enormous insult to Chris.
After all, his injury was hardly something he was proud of.
Chris glared at him, his eyes filled with fury. He almost wanted to devour Jackson alive.

Jackson ignored him. He had intended to tell Stephanie to hurry along, but when he turned around, she was
already gone.
Jackson stood there for a moment, stunned.
This brat really lives up to her reputation. No thanks, no nothing.
Stephanie was well aware of what was happening.
Especially now, when Jackson and Chris were on the verge of an important collaboration, she made sure to keep
her distance from these people.
She wasn’t about to let them have any influence over her.

Jackson, seeing that Stephanie was already gone, wasn’t about to waste any more twith Chris. He let go and
turned to leave.
But as he was walking away, Chris called out, “Where is the heir?”
Jackson raised an eyebrow at Chris's question. “You mean to tell me, you've been here this whole tand still
don’t even know the nof the person you're supposed to meet?”
It's a good thing that Chris only had one son-otherwise, he would just be abandoned like garbage.
With his looks and presence, it was a shsuch a handsfigure had nothing more to offer.
He might as well be brainless.
Chris’s expression darkened as he stayed silent.
Jackson, however, couldn’t hold back his laughter. “Heh, hahahaha!”
It was a mocking laugh.
Chris clenched his jaw, trying to suppress his anger. “Stop laughing. It’s ugly.”
Jackson smirked, “You're complaining aboutlaughing when you've got no skills yourself?”
Chris remained silent.
Jackson clicked his tongue twice. “Tell me, Mr. Lucano had been in the city for quite a while now, but what exactly
have you been doing?”
“You still don’t even know the person’s name, let alone where they are!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChris had been so focused on Olivia, he didn’t even care about this important matter. But now, he had to admit,
Olivia had caused him so many distractions.
If the six elders of the Ashford family knew about this, they’d probably devour her alive.
Chris’s expression darkened, his voice low, “What | do is none of your business.”
Jackson shrugged. “You're right, it's none of my business.”
He turned to Rebecca, “Let's go.”

“Yes, sir.”
Rebecca respectfully followed.
As they left, Chris looked at Kevin behind him. “Do you remember the nof the heir to the Lucano family?*.
Kevin hesitated. “There's almost no news online, but | think the last nis Giovanni.”
