Just as they were about to leave together, Sebastian's phone rang.
He glanced at the screen, and his expression immediately darkened.
He gently rubbed Stephanie’s soft hair and said in a warm tone, “Go ahead, I'll catch up.”
“Sure,” Jackson nodded, unconcerned.
Seeing he was busy, Stephanie turned and walked out first.
Only when her footsteps had faded down the stairs did Sebastian finally answer the call.
“You found Stefi?”
A man’s wicked voice cthrough the phone, dripping with arrogance and provocation.
Sebastian's grip on the phone tightened, and a dark aura surrounded him.
“What does that have to do with you?”
“Of course it does, since Stefi...”
“Richard Casalini, | suggest you value your life,” Sebastian coldly interrupted.
Richard Casalini, the older brother of Valentina Casalini, was a powerful figure behind him.
Years ago, the reason Stephanie had been forced to leave Fiorenza was because she feared Richard's influence in
the country.
At that time, her mother and sister, Sofia, were under his control, and she feared for their safety.
Also, the threat he posed to Sebastian at the tmade it impossible for Stephanie to refuse,

It was that brief moment that would becRichard's greatest regret.
In the last two years, Sebastian had dismantled the Casalini family with ruthless efficiency.
He chuckled darkly. “You still dare call me? Huh?”
Richard’s voice cagain, mocking. “It’s not about daring, | have to. After all, I'm very concerned about Stef.”
A mocking laugh followed his words.
Sebastian's voice turned colder. “You'd better worry about yourself. Finn Moran is the type to bite his own
people.”
Being allied with such a person is like walking in the dark with wolves at your back.
As soon as Richard heard about Finn’s nature, the atmosphere on the phone turned cold.
The playful and provocative tone vanished, replaced by an ominous warning, “Pull your people back!”
Richard stopped circling around and spoke directly.
Sebastian's men had been watching his every inove, leaving him no room to breathe.

They even knew about his connection with Finn.
Was this a matter of Sebastian not giving up until he was dead?

As he thought about all the ambushes he’d faced recently, Richard's tone lost its earlier playfulness, replaced by
coldness and danger.

Stephanie was bundled up in a thick coat.
She walked out of the small building, carrying a few items, and followed the signs toward the hot springs along
the green path.
“Miss Giovanni?”
Kevin's voice cfrom a distance.
Stephanie paused and turned to see Chris and Kevin walking toward her.
Chris looked surprised when he saw her, but his expression quickly darkened.
He walked up to her, his tone sharp. “What are you doing here? How did you find out | was coming?”
‘After everything that had been going on recently, it was easy to say she didn’t care, but wasn’t she secretly
checking up on my whereabouts?’
Chris glanced at Kevin, who stiffened under his gaze.
“Miss Giovanni didn’t call me,” Kevin quickly explained, sensing the tension.
Chris knew exactly what that look meant-Kevin hadn't spilled the beans about Chris's plans.
The trip had been a last-minute decision, and no one at the company knew they were here.
Chris’s expression darkened further.

Stephanie was at a loss for words.
‘What was that?’
‘What was he trying to say?’
‘Was he implying that because | got wind of his whereabouts, and | followed him here?”
‘Had he really been this confident all this time?”
At this moment, Stephanie was beyond doubting Chris's intelligence. She was beginning to question his sanity.
She found it almost laughable. “Why aren't you sticking to Olivia? Why are you here?”
“And how did you even find out | was here? Were you planning to ambush me?”
She threw his arrogance right back at him.
Chris's face darkened at her words.
