Chapter 292

Sebastian was finally satisfied and let Stephanie go. Stephanie looked at him resentfully, her eyes filled with tears. “My lips hurt.” It really hurts a bit. He has no experience.

Sebastian bent down and looked at her lips. They were indeed a little chapped. He was a little annoyed. “I’ll be gentler next time.”

“You still want a next time? It hurts.”

Stephanie grumbled and burrowed back into the bed. She had planned to go to the studio today to give Jennifer some work instructions, but she didn’t want to go out in this freezing weather. Besides, she was injured. She didn’t even have to think to know that Sebastian definitely wouldn’t let her go out. It was most comfortable to stay in bed on a snowy day.

Sebastian looked at her lazy look and smiled. “Take care of your studio matters as soon as possible. We’re going back to Fiorenza.”

Stephanie turned her head. “When?”

Suddenly talking about returning to Fiorenza, Stephanie’s eyes were full of anticipation.

“Can we wait until the marks on me fade before we go back?” After all, if she went back like this, whether it was her mother or Sofia that asked, she would not be able to explain it.

Sebastian stood up and said, “About half a month.”

Stephanie nodded and said, “That’s enough.” Half a month was enough to do anything, but she had to make sure Sebastian was a gentleman during this half month. If he wasn’t a gentleman, these marks would be covered one layer after another. How would she dare to go back to Fiorenza?

Sebastian seemed to see what she was thinking, bent down, and suddenly leaned close to her face. Stephanie subconsciously shrank back. “What are you doing?”

Sebastian said, “Just tell them the truth.”

Stephanie’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Of course.”

Stephanie didn’t say anything. Sebastian’s words were full of strength, and Stephanie’s eyes were filled with admiration. “You’re the best.”

If she told the truth, Stephanie couldn’t even imagine the scene. If she could handle it and not run out of Fiorenza, she would be a legend.

Sebastian left. When only Stephanie was left, she began to think about what to do with the studio. At that time, because she didn’t know when she would be able to return to his side, she didn’t dare to have any contact with Fiorenza. Since she was going back to Fiorenza, it was likely that she would be able to come to Long Harbor less often in the future. This really needs to be dealt with carefully.

He took out his phone, called Jennifer, and said he would go to the studio for a meeting tomorrow. And then gave Ella a call.

Ella was currently at the hospital when she received Stephanie Giovanni’s call. Ella couldn’t help but click her tongue twice. This is karma, truly karma. What did the Hart family do to provoke someone they shouldn’t have?

Stephanie said, “You’re at the hospital again?”

Ella said, “Oh, don’t remind me. That kid got sick again after being discharged from the hospital. It’s driving me crazy.” Ella had been particularly fired up about this little niece of hers these past few days. The last time she went to see her little niece, she ran into Tyler and Amber taking their child to the hospital.

Stephanie said, “You saw the Harts?”

Ella said, “Yeah, isn’t it a coincidence? Heaven always sends me the gossip and jokes I love to see.”

Stephanie was speechless. ‘Was her best friend this obviously gloating?’ It was nice though.

Ella lowered her voice, “I heard it was a gunshot wound, both hands were ruined. How much does this sworn enemy hate him?”

Stephanie said, “Both hands?” Sebastian wanted both of Tyler’s hands? That being said, this was already Sebastian’s most merciful decision. Given his temper, it was supposed to be fatal.

Ella said, “That’s right. Mrs. Hart was so angry that she fainted. She used to treat you and her adopted daughter the same.”

“So this time, who do you think is more important, her biological son or her adopted daughter?”

Stephanie didn’t say anything. Stephanie wasn’t interested in discussing this. ‘Who’s more important? Who cares? The Hart family is going to be in chaos this time.’

Jennifer had found out that Tyler had been busy with Olivia recently. That woman thought that she could successfully enter the Hart family by bringing her child back. If she knew that her son, Catlin’s grandson, was not as important as Olivia in her heart… Just you wait.

“Okay, there have been enough jokes about the Hart family. We can’t finish watching them in a while. Let’s talk business.”

Ella said, “Huh? You’re looking for me for something serious?”

“What? I can’t?”

Ella Turner said, “Yes, tell me what it is. Do you want to deal with the Hart family or Chris? Just send me any dirt you have.” Stephanie’s mouth twitched. In Ella’s mind, messing with people was a serious matter?

Stephanie said, “Didn’t the Ashford family pressure you last time?” Daring to expose the Ashford family’s affairs so blatantly that the whole city knew about it, Ella must have been pressured… 100.

Ella snorted coldly, “Would I be afraid of them?”

Stephanie said, “I’m just worried about your mother.”

Ella Turner said, “My mom is no vegetarian.”
