Chapter 259

Seeing Sebastian about to send Stephanie away, Jackson’s heart trembled slightly, and he instinctively wanted to intervene. He knew well that Sebastian would act gently if Stephanie was around. But he didn’t dare say a word.

Especially after noticing the displeased look on Sebastian’s face, Jackson dared not speak. He silently prayed that Stephanie wouldn’t leave.

Unfortunately, Stephanie was too well–behaved. Stephanie had beaten Chris forcefully, but she acted like an angel in front of Sebastian. “I’m leaving now,” she said.

“Be good.” Sebastian pinched her cheek. Stephanie turned and ran off.

Jackson was shocked and thought she was so well–behaved that he could hardly recognize her. If he didn’t know about her previous engagement with Chris, Jackson would doubt she was the same person.

Jackson thought, ‘Look at how well–behaved she is before Sebastian. It just proves that Chris missed out on her. It’s his fault for not recognizing people well. Olivia is not as good as Stephanie.

Stephanie left. Once it was just Sebastian and Jackson alone, Sebastian moved over to the couch and sat down.

Jackson was a bit nervous. “Mr. Giovanni.”

Sebastian gave him a cold look. “Haven’t you signed the contract already? Why are you still looking for Stephanie?”

Jackson’s heart skipped a beat again. He thought, ‘It’s clear Mr. Giovanni raised Stephanie himself; they even think alike.

But leaving Sebastian with the impression that he always tried to take easy routes wasn’t good. “I mean, it’s not about the partnership this time,” Jackson replied.

In the past, whenever he approached Stephanie, it was mainly due to her connection with Sebastian. Jackson hoped to get a favor by going through her.

Jackson let out a dry laugh. “It’s honestly not about the partnership, and I promise not to trouble Miss Giovanni about that again.” He was trying hard to clear his bad reputation.

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. “Oh?” He took a cigarette from the pack, lit it, took a drag, and kept his gaze coldly on Jackson.

Jackson swallowed nervously. “It’s about what happened at the mall earlier. I was worried Lilian might have hurt Miss Giovanni, so I came to check on her myself.”

Sebastian replied, “For things like this, you could have just called me first.”

Jackson thought, ‘I came by in person because I was too scared to call: But from Stephanie’s words, it seemed almost the same as what Lilian said.

When Lilian said that before, Jackson couldn’t believe it. With the past issues between Olivia and Stephanie, he had and out the real situation.

“I’m just worried you might involve me in this matter,” Jackson whispered.

Sebastian replied, “Hmm?”

“No, I’m just worried Miss Giovanni might get hurt.” Jackson thought with some anxiety.

To be honest, Jackson had been at the top in Long Harbor for years, meeting all kinds of people. But there was something about the aura Sebastian exuded that gave him chills.
