Stephanie said, “I don’t want it.” She was not lacking in money.
Amber asked, “Is it too filthy for you?”
“Not at all.” Stephanie knew that Amber was the one in greater need.
Amber insisted, “If you don’t find it objectionable, take it; | intended this for you.”

After receiving money from Tyler, Amber had set aside this portion for Stephanie, planning to give it to her while
they were still in Long Harbor.
However, unexpected circumstances had prevented her from doing so. Now that they were both in Fiorenza, it
felt like the perfect opportunity.
Stephanie frowned. “Why would you take it for me?” Her interactions with Amber had been quite minimal, and
their conversations even more so.
Amber's mind drifted to an unpleasant night, where she had feared being assaulted by a group of thugs, only to
have a stray beer bottle shatter nearby, scattering them. A warm coat was draped over her, carrying an inviting
scent.

Without uttering a word, Amber stepped forward, pressing the card into Stephanie's palm. Before Stephanie
could react, Amber turned away to leave, prompting Stephanie to pursue her.
Upon glancing at Amber's figure, Stephanie could discern a profound sadness.
Sofia emerged and called out, “Stefi.”
Stephanie turned, recognizing Sofia approaching her. Sofia inquired, “Why have you cout? What if you
encountered mean girls again?”
While Sofia had found Stephanie's earlier display commendable, her concern remained. To the Giovanni family,
Stephanie was perceived as a delicate flower. Such a fragile being was better kept close, as they worried about
her being bullied outside.
Stephanie said, “What's there to fear? | could easily fight back; besides, after all that happened inside, who
would even thinka target anymore?”
The commotion had been quite significant, especially with Sable and Lucinda being ruthlessly expelled.
Ultimately, Stephanie had garnered a modicum of attention that evening.
By morning, rumors would surely circulate that she was truly cherished by the Giovanni family.
Sebastian stepped out, and upon seeing him, Sofia called out, “Sebastian.”
Stephanie turned as well, locking eyes with Sebastian. He drew her into an embrace and said, “Tto go
home.”
As they strolled a few steps, Mireille called out to Sebastian from behind, “Sebastian.”
Both paused. Mireille approached and said, “You should consider my father’s proposal; after all, it would benefit
Stephanie
as well.”
Mireille had harbored feelings for Sebastian since high school. Stephanie was aware of this, as Mireille had
approached her
as well.
However, those occasions were rare, as subsequent encounters seemed to be prevented by Sebastian.
Stephanie looked at Sebastian, catching a hint of danger in his intense gaze. He said, “If you hadn't shown up

With a chill in his voice, the depth of his pupils sharpened into something more cutting. Mireille’s expression
darkened at his statement. Sebastian wrapped his
m around Stephanie and walked away.
Mireille’s gaze followed him, then shifted to Stephanie nestled in his embrace. A flicker of malice crossed her
eyes.
Sofia approached from a distance, positioning herself beside Mireille, and scoffed, “How foolish of your family to
think they could elevate their status by marrying you off.”
Mireille’s breath quickened as she turned to Sofia. “You are aware of Stephanie’s position in Long Harbor; the
Giovanni family doesn’t appear to be particularly astute either.”
Sofia understood her implication. If the Giovanni family faced a scenaakin to three years prior, Stephanie
would be of no assistance whatsoever.
With a scoff, she replied, “Only an inept man would sacrifice his marriage for family honor; you really think
Sebastian is that kind?”
