Oh well, if it was going to be discussed, then so be it.
He prided himself on his own impeccable character.
But as Stephanie posed the question to Sebastian, Jackson couldn't help but listen on speakerphone as the
man’s tone dripped with indulgence.
How dare the Hart family treat her so carelessly?
“Why did you ask about Jackson Hodge?”
“Just asking. What do you think, Sebastian? Is he a good guy?”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.
When Sebastian's voice cback, something in his tone clearly shifted.
In a cold, almost biting tone, he asked, “Do you like him?”
Stephanie remained silent.
Jackson was equally at a loss.
What?
87%
She was only asking about his character whether he was a good man. How did Sebastian twist that into whether
she liked him?
And why he sound so displeased?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStephanie’s lips twitched. “No, | was just asking.”
“He can’t even manage his own family well. People like him weren't trustworthy. Put away those silly thoughts,”
Sebastian said in a noticeably cold tone.
“I really don’t like him,” Stephanie insisted.
“Ill pick you up for lunch. Be good, I'm hanging up.”
Before Stephanie could reply, Sebastian ended the call.
Jackson was left dumbfounded.
He had a feeling that a storm was brewing.
Stephanie glanced over at him and said, “Did you hear that, Mr. Hodge? In Sebastian’s eyes, you aren’t even
worth a dime.”
“So it all comes back to you.”
“No, it’s not about me. It’s about Lilian. Through her conduct, Sebastian has seen many things clearly.”
Jackson grew even more agitated. “Our cooperation has nothing to do with Lilian! She isn’t even connected to
the company!”
“In Sebastian's eyes, if you can’t keep your own household in order, you have no integrity at all.”
So, their cooperation was going to be a tall order.

Chapter 137
Jackson was practically about to blow a fuse.
It made sense. If a person couldn't even manage his own household, how could he be trusted to run a company?
Lilian had really pushed his buttons.
And then there was Stephanie, who showed off her intimacy with Sebastian.
Everyone had heard that since her return to the Hart family, she had never shown any intimacy with Tyler Hart,
much less her biological parents.
But that was understandable.
People tend to open up to those who treat them well.
The Hart family poured all their attention into their adopted daughter, leaving Stephanie on the outskirts.
Given her fiery personality, it was only natural that she would retaliate in kind.
She grew up in the Giovanni family-
A world entirely its own.
The Giovanni family were notorious arms dealers in Fiorenza, known as the shadowy figures who controlled the
city’s underworld.
In such a ruthless environment, the challenges she faced were anything but ordinary.
Living among a pack of wolves, there was no place for a delicate little bunny.
Jackson ventured hesitantly, “So, the Giovanni family... are they like the Hart family?”
“What do you mean?” Stephanie snapped.
Jackson continued, “You're only the adopted daughter of the Giovanni family. I've seen how they treat you, and
now | wonder, how do they treat their own daughter?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt those words, Stephanie's face darkened instantly.
“You're comparing the Giovanni family to the Hart family?”
That mere suggestion was enough.
The inherent difference between the two families were vast.
The Hart family, though small in fortune, was notorious for their conniving ways.
Olivia Hart had played mind games with her, and the Hart family had even turned their backs on their own
daughter.
How could such people ever compare to the Giovanni family?
In the Giovanni family, whether you were blood-related or adopted, everyone's interests and safety were
intertwined.
Seeing Stephanie’s expression fall, Jackson's heart sank. “I'm sorry.”
