Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 129

Chapter 129

Chris knuckles whitened as he clenched his fists, his teeth grinding as he fixed his gaze on Sebastian.

He leapt to his feet with a swift motion, eyes blazing with resentment. “What are you doing here?”

The realization that Stephanie was present too suddenly hit him.

Had Stephanie already become so inseparable from this man?

The formidable pressure radiating from Sebastian was palpable–an extraordinary presence that made Chris wonder.

Was he also trying to get involved in cooperation with the Lucano family? If so, who exactly was he? Contending with Jackson was already a significant challenge!

Chris‘ already dark expression turned thunderous.

“Let me make one thing clear,” he snarled through clenched teeth. “Don’t even dream of getting your hands on the Lucano family’s mines.”

Dealing with Jackson as an opponent has already stretched their resources. Now this audacious newcomer!

He assumed that Stephanie had gotten him into serious trouble.

‘Had she betrayed the details of Ashford Group’s collaboration with the Lucano family to this man? In that case, it’s bad faith competition.’

Doubt, once seeded, unfurled its venomous vines through Chris‘ mind.

Despite the fact that he had never once mentioned the Hart family’s mines or the substitution strategy in Stephanie’s

presence.

Elliot eyes swept over Chris with barely disguised disdain. “Mr. Ashford, it appears there are numerous matters beyond your comprehension.”

That look seemed to sympathize with him.

Mr. Giovanni had been operating Long Harbor for a while now, yet Chris‘ reaction suggested a profound ignorance of the situation.

The heir to the Ashford Group was really nothing.

How could Old Mr. Ashford entrust the company to such hands?

Chris finally noticed Elliot standing behind Sebastian.

A flash of astonishment crossed his features as his gaze traveled from Elliot to Sebastian and back again.

He clearly couldn’t fathom why these two would be together.

In their previous encounters, after all, he had firmly concluded that they both had relationship with Stephanie.

Chris’s eyes darted between Sebastian and Elliot.

‘Are these two allied?‘ His mind scrambled for answers, but his mind went blank.

Noting Chris was in speechless confusion, Elliot stepped forward. “Mr. Giovanni, it appears old Mr. Ashford isn’t present. Shall we take our leave?”
