Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 91

Over the years, Stephanie never really stopped thinking about the Giovannis.

She’d watch from a distance, keeping quiet tabs on their lives.

Ella leaned back in her seat. “Honestly? Seems like you had it pretty good with them.”

Compared to the circus at the Hart house, Stephanie’s life with the Giovannis looked downright dreamy. Ever since the Harts dragged her back, Olivia had been coming for her throat non–stop.

And yet, with the Giovannis? Technically, Stephanie was ‘adopted‘ too–but they never treated her like an outsider.

Stephanie shrugged. “Guess it helps when they get you as a baby.”

Ella nodded. “Yeah, babies are cute. Hard to hate a baby.”

But then Ella added, “Still, I bet you were good to them too. Love’s a two–way street, right?”

Whatever went down between her and Olivia wasn’t some random catfight. Olivia wanted her gone from day one.

The whole mess with the Harts wasn’t exactly a surprise, they came at her swinging before they even knew the facts.

After enough fights, it was obvious they’d already decided she was the problem.

Truth is, from the second they brought her back, they never treated her like real family.

And Stephanie? She grew up with the Giovannis, loved, spoiled, and never had to beg for scraps of affection. So why the hell would she start now?

“Come on,” Stephanie stood up, grabbing her bag. “Let’s eat.”

Ella followed, but she couldn’t help herself. “Oh, by the way, Chris is still tearing up half the city trying to figure out who owns Whispering Bay. I swear, I need to see his face when he finds out it’s you.”

People who didn’t know the truth were still totally clueless.

But the ones who did? Watching Chris and the Harts trip over themselves like this–it was comedy gold.

Stephanie smirked. “Don’t ruin the fun yet. Let him sweat.”

Ella cracked up. “He looks extra stupid when he’s frustrated.”

They stepped out, heading to lunch–totally unaware that right after they left, Catlin showed up..

Jennifer tried calling Stephanie to warn her, but her phone was sitting on silent.
