Chapter 96

Sebastian’s lips curled into a smile.

Although he was smiling, that smile was downright terrifying in Stephanie’s eyes. “Stop it, Sebastian. I’m scared.

Stephanie said pitifully as she tugged on Sebastian’s sleeve

However, Sebastian wasn’t going to let her off the hook so easily this time.

He pulled his sleeve free, and the smile on his lips vanished. “Who gave this to you?”

he asked in a cold voice.

Such a large diamond ring–it was clear how much effort the giver had put into it.

Or was it possible that there were things about her life in Long Harbor that he wasn’t fully aware of?

‘Did she already have a boyfriend?‘

As this thought crossed Sebastian’s mind, his eyes grew colder.

“Jackson.”

Stephanie blurted out without hesitation.

She never covered for anyone, regardless of what kind of business partner Jackson was to Sebastian.

No matter what misunderstanding lay behind this ring, she wasn’t going to let herself get caught up in it.

Especially not in front of Sebastian.

“Jackson?”

Hearing this name, a flicker of surprise flashed through Sebastian’s eyes. However, the surprise was soon overtaken by a colder intensity.

Jackson, huh?

‘How bold of him, he thought.

Stephanie nodded. “Yes, Jackson. He said this was a peace offering.”

At the mention of this, Stephanie felt a massive headache.

She didn’t believe for a second that this was a peace offering, and she knew Sebastian wouldn’t either.

She didn’t know what Jackson was thinking as this was just unreliable!

Sure enough, Sebastian raised an eyebrow.

“A peace offering?”

His tone was laced with disbelief.

Stephanie nodded. “Yes. His sister, Lilian, got into an argument with me, remember? He said this was an apology gift.”

Honestly, it was obvious Jackson was trying to take a shortcut.
