He never expected that Stephanie Giovanni turned out to be Sebastian Giovanni's adopted sister.
When faced with Jackson Hodge's beaming smile, Stephanie’s heart skipped a beat.
Instinctively, she tried to pull her arm away from his grip, but Jackson simply produced a small box and handed it
to her.
A gift to make amends,” he said.
Stephanie was silent for a moment.
A gift?
Glancing at the box with its distinctive emblem, she knew exactly what it was: an expensive piece of jewelry
meant as a bribe.
What exactly are you doing, Mr. Hodge?” she asked.
Jackson explained, “Lilian used to be so headstrong. I'm taking responsibility for her misdeeds.”
Tve locked her up, so she won't be troubling you again. Rest assured, she won't be popping up to annoy you
anytsoon.”
Stephanie had nothing to say.
Was that really something to worry about?
Jackson shoved the box into her hand. “Helpput in a good word with Sebastian, will you? This cooperation is
crucial for
us.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJackson had nearly beaten Lilian to death these past few days.
Before Sebastian arrived in Long Harbor, they had spoken on the phone quite amicably until Lilian stirred up
trouble.
Jackson was completely taken aback by the relationship between Stephanie and Sebastian.
Sebastian had personally taken in and raised Stephanie, and yet those people dared to treat her so poorly?
He had witnessed the disastrous end of the Casalini family of Fiorenza, and he knew better than this woman was
simply not someone to mess with.
Thinking of Lilian...
Just the thought of her made Jackson want to beat her senseless.
And then there was Chris Ashford and the people from the Hart family!
Jackson couldn’t even bear to imagine what fate awaited them.
Over the past few days, every piece of evidence he uncovered regarding how Sebastian protected Stephanie
sent shivers down his spine.
Stephanie tossed the box back into Jackson's hand. “If | say anything nice about you to him, you're really
finished.”
Jackson's eyelids twitched furiously. “What...”
Stephanie continued coolly, “Mr. Hodge, don’t you dig into our relationship? Surely you also found out that he
hates cutting
corners.”

Jackson was left speechless.
Of course, he knew that!
He had thought Stephanie’s background would turn the table.
After all, she was the apple of Sebastian's eye.
“But the cooperation between him andfell apart because of you-right at my grandfather's birthday
celebration.”
Things had been going smoothly until a fight broke out between Lilian and Stephanie, and everything just went
south.
He had seen brothers being nice to their sisters, but Jackson really hadn't seen a siscon like Sebastian.
In short, the way things had turned out was simply outrageous.
“If Mr. Hodge says so, then | have nothing to say,” Stephanie remarked.
“Don’t say that,” Jackson interjected urgently.
If she had nothing more to say, then his cooperation with Sebastian would be doomed.
Stephanie walked over to an office chair and sat down.
Across from her, Jackson set the gift box back on the desk and slid it toward her.
Stephanie sighed, “Alright, I'll make a call.”
Jackson and Lilian were two entirely different matters.
In Long Harbor, Jackson enjoyed a decent reputation. Stephanie wasn’t sure whether Sebastian’s falling out had
anything to do with her.
But judging by Jackson's demeanor today, if she didn’t smooth things over by pulling the strings, he wouldn't let
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmit go.
With that, Stephanie dialed Sebastian's number right there in front of Jackson.
It wasn’t long before the call was answered. “Stefi.”
“Sebastian, what do you think of Jackson Hodge?”
Stephanie got straight to the point.
Jackson's eyebrows shot up at this.
This was not what he expected. He hadn't asked her to discuss his character with Sebastian.
