Chapter 103

As soon as Stephanie spoke, Jackson felt his hair stand on end. But he couldn’t show his anger, not even dare to

Sure enough, on the other end of the phone, Sebastian’s tone turned icy the moment he heard her words.

“Tell him to get lost!”

Jackson was speechless.

Stephanie’s mouth twitched as she instinctively glanced over at him.

Jackson’s head pounded–what did Sebastian mean by that?

It sounded as if he believed someone was bullying Stephanie.

Just as he was about to step forward, Stephanie continued over the phone, “He said he delivered the wrong gift and wants it

Stephanie had already opened the box and, seeing a bracelet inside, recounted every detail.

At the mention of a bracelet, Jackson felt a sinking dread.

Sure enough, a moment later, Sebastian’s voice came back on the line. “Tell him to get lost immediately

After saying that, Sebastian hung up.

Jackson had never felt so utterly disillusioned.

When Stephanie noticed that Sebastian had hung up, she looked at Jackson and said, “You see? There’s no way to smooth things over with him.”

So, it was best to give up on using her to pull the strings.

Jackson stared at Stephanie, his lips parting as if to speak, but he was so enraged he couldn’t form a single word.

Had she even managed to say anything nice about him?

Not at all!

Not only did she fail to say a single kind word, but she didn’t even provide a proper explanation, despite claiming to have defended him.

Taking several deep breaths to subdue his frustration, Jackson finally muttered, “Thanks.”

He couldn’t help but think how utterly infuriating she was–so tongue–tied, all because Sebastian had spoiled her.

Jackson felt he couldn’t bear to stay in that office for another minute.

He truly thought Stephanie was insufferable.

“Mr. Hodge, do you want me to compensate you for the ring?”
