Chapter 44

Sebastian returned to the study.

When Elliot came in, he saw Sebastian smoking.

Elliot approached “Mr. Giovanni, Mr. Ashford wanted to see you.

Sebastian looked up with a little surprise.

“Chris Ashford

Elliot nodded. “Yes. He must have come for the mine. The Ashford family are engaged with the Hart family, but they became fastidious about the Hart girl two years ago. I guess it was because the Harts‘ mine was almost depleted.”

Sebastian took another drag at his cigar.

He jeered sarcastically. “Picky?”

Elliot was perplexed for a moment, then he nodded.

“Dare they be picky about my Stefi!”

Elliot knew by doing that, the Ashford family had offended Sebastian seriously.

In that case, it was impossible for Sebastian to agree to cooperate with Chris.

Sebastian was unhappy.

Elliot added, “I don’t think Miss Stephanie knew it then. The engagement was made by their parents.”

Sebastian made no response.

Elliot continued, “Mr. Ashford’s assistant have been contacting the security, trying to get your contact information. He wants to buy Whispering Bay.”

Sebastian repeated, “Here?”

“Yes, the adopted Hart girl was ill. Mr. Ashford is trying to acquire this manor for her. He has tried renting. Anyway, he seemed nervous and urgent.”

Sebastian

gave a cold snort.

“He canceled his engagement with Stefi and now he is buying this house for the adopted girl?”

Elliot could imagine Sebastian’s fury.

“The lacking ore must be important to them, or they wouldn’t have put in so much effort.”

They wanted the cooperation a lot.

But they had offended Sebastian a lot.

Sebastian flicked his cigar.
