Chapter 109

Chapter 109

At a downtown steakhouse, Jackson had just sat down with Landyn when his phone rang. It was Elliot, telling him to bring his lawyer tomorrow to review a contract.

Jackson’s eyes lit up instantly. “Absolutely! Thanks, Mr. Grant. Appreciate it!”

Before he could say more, Elliot had already hung up.

He set his phone down, grinning at Landyn. “Order more. We’re celebrating.”

Landyn raised a brow. “What happened?”

“Mr. Giovanni’s team wants to move forward. Contract review’s set for tomorrow.”

Landyn’s jaw dropped. “It’s a done deal?”

Mr. Giovanni has been in Long Harbor lately, personally handpicking local partners.

Plenty of people are desperate to work with him, all eyeing the resources he controls.

“Almost.” Jackson took a sip of wine, looking very pleased with himself.

The first step’s already done. The rest should fall into place.

Landyn leaned back. “Then you better lock Lilian down. Last thing you need is her pissing off Miss Giovanni again.”

Jackson’s smile froze. “Damn it.”

The second this deal was sealed, Lilian was definitely getting a reality check.

That girl had no sense of survival.

“Wasn’t the Ashford family also trying to get in on this?” Landyn asked. “If you’re in, they’re out, right?”

Jackson chuckled. “They were never in.”

‘Chris Ashford and Stephanie Giovanni? After everything? Not a chance!

He swirled his glass, smirking. “Besides, Chris is too busy losing his mind over Olivia and that house in Whispering Bay.”

“That’s a problem?”

Jackson’s smile deepened. “That’s where Sebastian and Stephanie are living now. So yeah, I’d say it’s a problem.”

“So you’re saying that place belongs to Sebastian? But didn’t Kevin go there himself before? He had no clue?”

“If he knew, you think he’d still be out there embarrassing himself?”

Landyn shook his head. “So he dumped Stephanie for Olivia, and now he’s after her brother’s house? This guy’s asking to get wrecked.”

Jackson set his glass down. “If you ask me, Chris and the Hart family are nothing but entertainment now.”

Between that house and the doctors they’re begging for, now Chris and the Harts are running around like headless chickens over Olivia, completely losing it.
