As they were talking. Elliot walked in. Seeing him, Stephanie quickly scooted over and sat quietly next to Sebastian.

Sebastian shot a quick glare at Elliot, his face dark. He asked, “What’s up?”

“Mr. Tyler Hart is here,” Elliot said. “He’s waiting outside and demanding to see Ms. Giovanni.

As soon as Sebastian heard Tyler’s name, his expression turned cold. “Demanding,” he repeated, narrowing his eyes.

Elliot nodded. “He’s being unreasonable. He probably knows Ms. Giovanni’s leaving for Fiorenza soon, and he doesn’t know when she’ll come back to Long Harbor. He’s panicking, throwing all his pride out the window.

Tyler was clearly desperate. After all, with the Hart family falling apart, he saw Stephanie as the only one who could keep it all together.

The moment Tyler found out she was leaving Long Harbor, he completely got anxious.

Sebastian closed his eyes for a moment and then said, his voice low and threatening, “Shoo him away.”

Since Tyler clearly didn’t care about his reputation anymore, Sebastian figured he might as well strip him of whatever dignity he had left.

Stephanie hesitated. “Wait.”

Sebastian opened his eyes and glanced at her. He asked, “What is it?”

Stephanie tilted her head slightly. “He deserves to suffer a little. Don’t you think we should let him?”

Sebastian raised an eyebrow and said, “Kick him out, and he’ll suffer enough.”

The airport was crowded, and if Tyler was ready to swallow his pride, then so be it.

Earlier, when Tyler had arrived in Long Harbor, Sebastian had already had Elliot look into the Hart family.

Stephanie said, “At this point, their reputation doesn’t matter anymore.”

With that, she stood up from beside Sebastian and looked at Elliot. “Where is he?”

“Right outside the door,” Elliot replied.

Stephanie nodded. Turning to Sebastian, she said, “I’ll be back in a minute.”

Without waiting for his response, she turned and left.

As he watched her walk away, Sebastian’s smile grew a little wider.

Elliot immediately turned to follow her, but Sebastian stopped him with a wave. “Let her go alone. She’ll be fine.”

He knew Stephanie wasn’t the same anymore. Back then, she was like a little kid with no power to stand up for herself.

Elliot nodded, agreeing, “Yeah, Ms. Giovanni has definitely grown up.”

She wasn’t the same girl who’d cry to Sebastian every time she was picked on.

Somewhere along the way, Stephanie had learned how to face her problems head–on.
