Damn it. Why was he questioning the Giovanni family?
He knew why Stephanie left the Giovanni family.
It was because the Casalini family had used Sebastian and Mrs. Giovanni to threaten her.
She had left to buy Sebastian sbreathing room. A far cry from that lowlife Olivia Hart who only cared about
seizing the Hart family’s assets.
Besides, the Giovanni family had another daughter who had been inseparable from Stephanie since childhood.
In short, Stephanie was the apple of Sebastian's eye and the cherished sister of Sofia Giovanni.
And the Giovanni family was the one Stephanie was determined to protect.
“I was wrong, please don’t be mad,” Jackson said.
Jackson had a bit of headache.
Stephanie snorted, “Mr. Hodge, you'd better off spending your twinning over Sebastian's trust rather than
wasting it
here.”
“What's with this backdoor scheme?”
Does the Giovanni family even have a “backdoor”?
Even if they did, Sebastian had sealed it tight. No one could exploit it.
Scratching his head in frustration, Jackson replied, “But my investigations show that he dotes on you...”

He continued, “Don’t getwrong. | just want you to know that both the Hodge family and the Ashford family
have their eyes on that mine your family owns.”
“You can’t have it even so!” Stephanie replied bluntly.
It was the honest truth...
Whatever Sebastian held was solely in his hands. No one else could control it.
Jackson was silent for a moment.
That was harsh, but the facts were undeniable.
“Wouldn't it piss you off if Sebastian ended up partnering with Chris?” he prodded, trying a more roundabout
approach.
“Even if they did, it wouldn't bother me,” she said coolly.
And Chris would never get the chance to collaborate with Sebastian.
She was sure of this.
“Then can you at least pointin the right direction?” Jackson asked.
With Sebastian refusing to see him these days, Jackson had been pulling his hair out lately.
