Chapter 101

Sebastian glanced at his watch, then looked toward the dining area.

Seeing that Stephanie was eating obediently, he said softly, “Is Chris still busy with the Whispering Bay matter?”

Chris had always wanted to buy the Whispering Bay for the Hart family’s adopted daughter.

Back in the day, Fred was known for being a ruthless and iron–fisted man.

It must have been utterly infuriating for him to have a son turn out like this.

Elliot nodded. “Yes,”

“Call Fred back and tell him…

He paused mid–sentence because he saw Stephanie spit out the cake she had put in her mouth.

It seemed like she had bitten into something dirty as she spat repeatedly and even rinsed her mouth with water.

Sebastian’s expression darkened slightly, and his tone followed suit. “Tell him his son’s matter is urgent.”

Elliot blinked in surprise.

He was certain that Fred would probably want to beat Chris to death if he heard that.

What pressing matter could Chris possibly have?

He was just getting all cozy with Olivia, and the most urgent thing right now was securing Whispering Bay for her.

Speaking of Chris, Elliot couldn’t help but sigh. “How did Mr. Ashford end up with a son like this?”

“If he is going to be a romantic, at least pick a decent partner. This guy is practically ensuring that his family will have no heirs.”

And as for Olivia’s character?

Based on the investigation, Chris’s taste in women was truly baffling.

Sebastian let out a low chuckle. “Which is why Mr. Ashford should be worrying about his son’s affairs first.”

Elliot immediately understood Sebastian’s intention and felt that he was cunning.

Those people thought Sebastian wouldn’t retaliate, but after how they treated Stephanie all these years, they were never going to be forgiven that easily.

Elliot nodded. “I’ll make the call now.”

Then, he left.

Sebastian gestured toward the butler hiding in the shadows. The butler stepped forward respectfully. “Sir?”

“Fire the entire kitchen staff today.”

The butler was stunned.

“Yes,”
