Chapter 135

Sebastian’s phone rang. It was Elliot.

He got up, glancing at Stephanie, who had already fallen back asleep. The little drunk kitten couldn’t fight off sleep for long-

Answering the call, his voice was low and direct. “Speak.”

“Mr. Giovanni, just as you predicted–Lancelot is hiding in Long Harbor.”

“Did you find him?”

“No, but his man, Carl, was spotted today.”

In the dimly lit room, Sebastian’s usually icy gaze flickered with a dangerous glint.

“Keep a close watch on him,” he said coldly.

“Yes!”

“And…” He paused for a moment, glancing at the bed where Stephanie was sound asleep.

“Assign more men to protect her.”

Her–of course, referring to Stephanie.

Elliot pondered for a moment.

“Should we tell Miss Giovanni to avoid the studio for now?”

“No need.”

“Understood.”

Elliot knew exactly what Sebastian meant–he didn’t want Stephanie to feel even the slightest hint of danger.

He wanted her world to be peaceful, to be ordinary. He didn’t want her constantly on edge.

That year, after witnessing Sebastian kill someone, Stephanie had nearly shut down completely.

Since then, he had kept her away from the family’s business affairs as much as possible.

At least until Valentina and Richard pulled their little stunt.

Hanging up, Sebastian stepped onto the balcony and lit a cigarette, taking a slow drag.

His phone buzzed again.

Glancing at the screen, he picked up. “Mother.”

“Do you know that Richard has connected with Finn Moran?”

“I do.”

“You know how he feels about Stefi. Keep her safe–she’s a timid child.”

Sebastian said, “Timid?”
