Chapter 46

After leaving Cloudridge Valley, Sebastian was feeling a bit frustrated.

He had been giving Stephanie money all these years, but he didn’t expect her taking care of herself like this.

Elliot arrived after a phone call, and picked up Stephanie to Whispering Bay.

Stephanie couldn’t hide her shock when she saw the mansion. “Is this yours?” she asked Sebastian, eyes wide.

Sebastian casually replied, “It’s yours.”

The mansion, sprawling and luxurious, was in Stephanie’s name. She froze, her brow furrowed in confusion. “Mine?”

“Yes. You said you liked it a while back,” Sebastian said calmly.

Stephanie was taken aback. She had no memory of mentioning liking this place, but she did recognize it.

Chris had once tried to find out who owned it, and despite Kevin’s efforts, no one had been able to uncover the truth.

“So, we’re living here now?” she asked, still processing.

“That’s right. I’ve got some business in Long Harbor, so we’re staying here for a while,” Sebastian answered, not missing a beat.

Stephanie didn’t push. She knew how Sebastian worked–he didn’t offer details unless he had to.

With Sebastian and Elliot’s help, she eventually settled down at Whispering Bay.

“This was actually a coming–of–age gift from Mr. Giovanni,” Elliot casually remarked when leading her to her room.
