The moment the call connected. Sebastian’s cold voice cut through the air “You can take Beenie as well
Theodore nodded, his face pale
Bernie's voice trembled Mr. Giovanni, what do you mean?
That thing isn’t Richard's What does he mean by they can take me” Bernie's mind cared with the rumors about
Parinara over the past few years. If it fell into Richard's hands, it would spell doneter. Bernie couldn't help but
shiver at the thought
Theodore nervously made the call. Thirty seconds later, he looked at Sebastian sheepishly.” “The didn’t answer”
Sebastian's face darkened instantly
“Til
“I'll call again right away! Theodore said quickly, his voice shaking
That look was terrifying. Remembering the bullet Sebastian had sent into his leg earlier. Theodore feared the
next one might be aimed at his head.
Bernie's heart skipped a beat. “Mr. Giovanni. I'll get the item from my brother right away | wear”
“Your brother?” Sebastian's gaze sharpened.

“Yes, the item is with my brother Bert. I'll get it from him. Please don’t giveto Richard, Bepleaded
Richard was unpredictable. If Bernie ended up in his hands, there was no telling if he'd survive. With his people
already dealt with by Sebastian's men, Bernie didn’t dare cause more trouble.
Sebastian glanced at Elliot, who nodded and left the scene without a word.
Bernie shifted nervously under Sebastian's silence. “Mr. Giovanni, he ventured, his voice tinged with desperation.
Macro leaned forward, a sly grin playing on his lips. “You have any idea who you were trying to hit on?”
“Who?” Bernie's forehead creased in confusion. He spent most of his ton Keris Isle and had no clue about
Stephanie s significance. To him, she was just another face in the crowd. Anyone close to Sebastian must be a
mere plaything-what else could they be?
“That's Sebastian's pride and joy, the girl he raised from a child,” Macro continued, his tone dripping with
sarcasm. “And you thought you could toy with her!”
He shook his head, disbelief clear in his eyes. Bernie actually thinks Sebastian’ll reward him for such a reckless
move. He must have been either incredibly naive or just plain foolish!
Bernie's
‘s eyes widened in shock as the realization hit him. “So she’s the legendary girl?”
Even in the most secluded corners of the world, news of Sebastian's adopted daughter had spread. Everyone
knew the story of the little girl he had raised. He wondered, ‘Hasn't she gone missing? Is this the sgirl we've
just seen! So she’s found?
Macro let out a derisive chuckle. “You might not know this, but she’s also Richard's fiancée in name. Imagine the
fun hed have if he got his hands on you.
Sebastian's cold gaze flicked toward Macro, a silent warning.
Macro felt a pang of unease under Sebastian's glare. “Did | say something wrong again?” he muttered, feeling a
knot form in
his chest.

Theodore was stunned and thought. Since Stephan was taken in Pagar, The known that she and Selation were
together. But Macros is still going on about her being Richards for the just can’t hold his tongue and it seems like
fele even worse than before”
“Hey, | didn’t say anything wrong, did 1 Macro asked, his voice ringed with uncertainty as he met Sebastian's
unyielding
Sebastian, however, had no patience for Macros blanders at the moment
Theodore kept dialing Richard’s number, Int the call went unanswered.

In the room, Richard turned on the TV and started playing games. He seemed unconcerned, thinking Sebastian
wouldn show up so soon.
Stephanie could feel the other phone in his pocket buzzing non-stop. “Your phone won't stop ringing” she
remarked. “Shut up,” Richard snapped, his irritation clear.
Stephanie bit back a retort, feeling a mix of frustration and confusion. She desperately wanted to slip away to
the bathroom to collect herself, but Richard was being unreasonably controlling. He even took her phone, as if to
prevent her from escaping.
She thought with anger, Is he really so relaxed, or just reckless? Doesn't he care that Sebastian might burst in
and tear him apart?
“I want to play games too, she muttered.
Richard scoffed, his tone dismissive. “Why would you want to play games? Maybe you should be learning how to
cook or arrange flowers.”
Stephanie's eyes widened in disbelief and almost laughed. Lottie had never pushed her or Softa into those
traditional roles While other girls from wealthy families were taught to be demure and graceful, Lottie had always
encouraged them to be themselves.
She didn’t even bother responding to Richard's outdated comments, instead turning her head to focus on the TV
But Richard wasn’t done. “So, after all these years in Long Harbor, can you cook?”
“I can,” Stephanie replied, her tone flat. She could cook, sure, but whether it was edible was another story.
“Good,” Richard said. “Makesomething when you have time.”
“Okay,” Stephanie agreed.
