Sebastian nodded. Stephanie said, “I don’t feel uncomfortable. Why did you ask Allison to cover?”
“You haven't had much appetite these past few days,” Sebastian replied.
Stephanie was speechless and thought, Just because | had a poor appetite, he wanted Allison to cover and
check?’
Sebastian asked, “How's it going?”
Stephanie said, “Allison’s car drove into a ditch, but she’s already called for help.”
Sebastian felt shocked. “Alright, | won't talk to you now. Cback soon.”
“Okay.” Stephanie hung up the phone. Her heart was still pounding.
Allison called and asked, “Stefi, what's wrong? Tellyour symptoms so | can send smedicine.”
Stephanie felt confused. “And what about you? Did they manage to tow your car?”

Allison replied, “I've got something urgent to handle, so | can’t cover.”
Hearing Allison's worried voice, Stephanie knew she had something urgent happening. “I'm fine here; don’t
worry about
me.”
Allison asked, “Didn't Sebastian say you weren't feeling well?”
“No, it's just Sebastian worrying for nothing,” Stephanie replied. She thought, ‘Probably | ate too much food
recently and have no appetite now. It's no big deal, but he still called a doctor.
Allison thought, ‘Worrying for nothing? Is that okay? | worried so much that | got two cars stuck in the ditch
today, and my car hasn't been pulled out yet!
“Alright, I'll head out.” Hearing that Stephanie was fine, Allison decided not to go to the Shallow Bay Area.
The two exchanged a few more words over the phone before hanging up. As Stephanie put down the phone, the
butler said, “Ms. Giovanni, Mr. Hodge is here.”
“Let him in,” Stephanie said calmly. Stephanie was unsure what Jackson wanted from her. She had already told
him everything she needed to.
Soon, Jackson cin. Seeing only Stephanie there, he was a bit taken aback. “Sebastian isn’t here?”
Stephanie asked, “Weren't you here to see me? Why does it matter if Sebastian is here?”
Jackson replied, “It does matter.” He thought, ‘Of course, it matters. I'm aware of Sebastian’s possessive nature,
especially to Stephanie. If | had known he wasn’t around, | wouldn't have come.’
Stephanie raised an eyebrow. “Why does it matter?”
Jackson replied, “It matters a lot.”
Stephanie was speechless and thought, ‘If Sebastian isn’t here, is he too scared to cto see me? So tic.
“Maybe you should just leave then?” Stephanie asked with a playful tone.
Jackson thought, ‘Leave? Now?” “I'm already here. It's cold outside. It wasn't easy to get here.”
Jackson thought, “The road today is tough. If | hadn't heard about the Garcia family’s situation, | wouldn't have
come.

Sebastian is truly ruthless
Jackson already knew about the clash between Mayra and Stephanie at the mall. To make things worse, Lilian
was there. He wasn’t sure if Lilian was involved in the dispute.
But from Lilian’s side, no matter how much he asked, she kept saying it had nothing to do with her. Jackson
wasn't at ease, so he needed to confirm the details with Stephanie.
Jackson thought, The Hart family is already in a bad state. The Ashford family used to be the top family in Long
Harbor but now look at them. And now, there's trouble with the Garcia family
Jackson had witnessed Sebastian's methods firsthand. So, regardless of what was said, he needed to confirm
things.
Stephanie said, “What do you need from me? I'm telling you that securing advantages through influence isn't
good. Besides, with that ore in Long Harbor, you have it all. What shortcuts could you possibly take?”
The Ashford family was so eager back then, yet they didn’t get it. So Stephanie was a bit puzzled about why
Jackson was looking for her.
Jackson was shocked upon hearing the word. He was speechless, especially remembering the previous mix-up
with the wrong gift. That misunderstanding was quite risky and almost messed up his collaboration.
