Chapter 125

When Chris heard the name “Giovanni“, his expression darkened.

But he didn’t dwell on it for long.

“Why is Stephanie here?” he asked Kevin, his tone noticeably tense.

Kevin hesitated, trying to stay neutral. “It’s probably a coincidence. After all, we’re here on short notice, and no one really knew we were coming. Maybe she came with Mr. Hodge?”

Kevin knew better than to reveal Chris’s whereabouts to anyone.

After he mentioned about just coincidence, however, Chris’s cold demeanor became even more apparent.

Kevin wasn’t entirely convinced that she came with Jackson, but he kept his thoughts to himself.

“Find out who she came with,” Chris ordered, his expression ice–cold.

Kevin nodded, but he couldn’t help feeling a little uncomfortable.

“Understood… But we need to find the heir to the Lucano family first. You know how important this is. If we don’t get this done today, there will be trouble with Mr. Ashford.”

‘And the Ashford Group will suffer too. Not to mention Olivia…

He didn’t finish his sentence, knowing Chris already understood the stakes.

Time was of the essence. They needed to locate Mr. Lucano.

Chris pinched the bridge of his nose, a headache building. “It won’t take long. Go ahead and check.”

Kevin nodded. “Yes, sir.”

With Chris’s insistence, Kevin set off to investigate, knowing there was no room for failure.

Meanwhile, Stephanie had just finished changing in the locker room.

Following Sebastian’s advice, she bundled up in a thick robe on her way from the locker room to the hot springs.

As soon as she stepped out of the locker room, she collided with a woman wrapped in a towel.

The woman lost her balance and fell straight into the footbath at the entrance with a loud splash.

Her towel soaked immediately, leaving her completely drenched.

The woman yelled angrily, “Watch where you’re going! Are you blind?”

Stephanie was speechless.

It was clearly her fault for running into Stephanie.

Stephanie’s expression darkened. “I don’t know if I’m blind, but you definitely are!”

The woman, now even more furious, wiped the water off her face, stood up, and glared at Stephanie.
