He never expected that Stephanie Giovanni turned out to be Sebastian Giovanni’s adopted sister.

When faced with Jackson Hodge’s beaming smile, Stephanie’s heart skipped a beat.

Instinctively, she tried to pull her arm away from his grip, but Jackson simply produced a small box and handed it to her.

“A gift to make amends,” he said.

Stephanie was silent for a moment.

A gift?

Glancing at the box with its distinctive emblem, she knew exactly what it was: an expensive piece of jewelry meant as a bribe.

“What exactly are you doing, Mr. Hodge?” she asked.

Jackson explained, “Lilian used to be so headstrong. I’m taking responsibility for her misdeeds.”

“I’ve locked her up, so she won’t be troubling you again. Rest assured, she won’t be popping up to annoy you anytime soon.”

Stephanie had nothing to say.

Was that really something to worry about?

Jackson shoved the box into her hand. “Help me put in a good word with Sebastian, will you? This cooperation is crucial for

us.”

Jackson had nearly beaten Lilian to death these past few days.

Before Sebastian arrived in Long Harbor, they had spoken on the phone quite amicably until Lilian stirred up trouble.

Jackson was completely taken aback by the relationship between Stephanie and Sebastian.

Sebastian had personally taken in and raised Stephanie, and yet those people dared to treat her so poorly?

He had witnessed the disastrous end of the Casalini family of Fiorenza, and he knew better than this woman was simply not someone to mess with.

Thinking of Lilian…

Just the thought of her made Jackson want to beat her senseless.

And then there was Chris Ashford and the people from the Hart family!

Jackson couldn’t even bear to imagine what fate awaited them.

Over the past few days, every piece of evidence he uncovered regarding how Sebastian protected Stephanie sent shivers down his spine.

Stephanie tossed the box back into Jackson’s hand. “If I say anything nice about you to him, you’re really finished.”

Jackson’s eyelids twitched furiously. “What…”

Stephanie continued coolly, “Mr. Hodge, don’t you dig into our relationship? Surely you also found out that he hates cutting

corners.”
