Chapter 124

Just as they were about to leave together, Sebastian’s phone rang.

He glanced at the screen, and his expression immediately darkened.

He gently rubbed Stephanie’s soft hair and said in a warm tone, “Go ahead, I’ll catch up.”

“Sure,” Jackson nodded, unconcerned.

Seeing he was busy, Stephanie turned and walked out first.

Only when her footsteps had faded down the stairs did Sebastian finally answer the call.

“You found Stefi?”

A man’s wicked voice came through the phone, dripping with arrogance and provocation.

Sebastian’s grip on the phone tightened, and a dark aura surrounded him.

“What does that have to do with you?”

“Of course it does, since Stefi…”

“Richard Casalini, I suggest you value your life,” Sebastian coldly interrupted.

Richard Casalini, the older brother of Valentina Casalini, was a powerful figure behind him.

Years ago, the reason Stephanie had been forced to leave Fiorenza was because she feared Richard’s influence in the

country.

At that time, her mother and sister, Sofia, were under his control, and she feared for their safety.

Also, the threat he posed to Sebastian at the time made it impossible for Stephanie to refuse.

She left, successfully diverting Richard’s attention and giving Sebastian a brief moment of relief.

It was that brief moment that would become Richard’s greatest regret.

In the last two years, Sebastian had dismantled the Casalini family with ruthless efficiency.

He chuckled darkly. “You still dare call me? Huh?”

Richard’s voice came again, mocking. “It’s not about daring, I have to. After all, I’m very concerned about Stefi.”

A mocking laugh followed his words.

Sebastian’s voice turned colder. “You’d better worry about yourself. Finn Moran is the type to bite his own people.”

Being allied with such a person is like walking in the dark with wolves at your back.

As soon as Richard heard about Finn’s nature, the atmosphere on the phone turned cold.

The playful and provocative tone vanished, replaced by an ominous warning, “Pull your people back!”

Richard stopped circling around and spoke directly.

Sebastian’s men had been watching his every move, leaving him no room to breathe.
