Chapter 294
As soon as Lorenzo entered, he saw Macro pacing anxiously, talking to Stephanie about something. Sebastian’s face had darkened considerably. As Lorenzo untied his scarf, he said, “If you keep talking, your mouth will really be sewn shut.” He casually removed his coat and tossed it to a servant. Lorenzo was extremely handsome, with a Western face, gold-rimmed glasses, and a cold, abstinent look. It was only when he spoke that his personality belied his cold and serious demeanor.
Macro saw him and said angrily, “Go, go, go! It’s not your sister; of course, you’re not in a hurry.” Lorenzo raised an eyebrow and said, “Your sister?” Macro was speechless. Lorenzo stated, “Luka is a tough one.” Lorenzo knew about Luka’s arrival in Long Harbor and that she had brought Sofia’s people with her. Sofia had just been returned to Fiorenza by Sebastian’s men, and Luka’s arrival followed closely on the heels of Sofia’s people. Everyone knew what was happening. Macro’s heart skipped a beat.
Lorenzo stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Wouldn’t it be better for them to be rivals? Why do they have to be sisters?” Macro replied, “No, they’re definitely not sisters.” Luka and Sofia? How many years had these two been at odds? How could they be sisters? Lorenzo asked, “Oh? Why did Luka bring Sofia’s people to Long Harbor this time?” Macro was speechless, completely at a loss. He had been in Long Harbor with Sebastian, unaware of what transpired in Fiorenza. How did Luka and Sofia get mixed up? They used to fight whenever they met. How could they be sisters? Macro felt a terrible headache coming on.
“Stefi.” He had no choice but to look at Stephanie. After all, Sebastian never compromised on Stephanie. Stephanie also had a headache. Seeing Macro so anxious, she tugged on Sebastian’s clothes. Sebastian looked down at her. “What’s wrong?” Stephanie said, “After you find Sister Luka, just have someone send her back.” After so many years of friendship with Macro, Stephanie couldn’t bear to see him so distraught. Macro was relieved to hear Stephanie finally say something reasonable.
Sebastian raised an eyebrow and whispered in Stephanie’s ear, “Does Stefi know that there’s a price to be paid for asking for favors?” Stephanie was shocked. Sebastian said the word ‘price’ meaningfully. Macro and Lorenzo were some distance away and didn’t hear what Sebastian was saying to Stephanie. It was the way he was whispering… Macro’s heart skipped a beat. What was he saying to Stephanie? Especially to Stephanie—was he talking about Luka? Why was she blushing? Stephanie glared at Sebastian resentfully, but in Macro’s eyes, it was full of coquetry. Stephanie stammered, “Anyway, don’t hurt anyone.” She thought of what happened to Tyler. Stephanie’s heart felt a little scared. She didn’t want Sebastian to do the same to the people around him. He wouldn’t say a word if he killed the Hart family, but the people around him, no way. However, Stephanie was overthinking it. If Sebastian were to lay a hand on those around him one day, it must be because they’d crossed a line.
Before Sebastian could answer, Stephanie’s phone rang. It was an unknown number. She didn’t answer and hung up immediately. However, the next moment, the phone rang again. Stephanie stood up. “I’m going to take this.” Oh my, the atmosphere is so stifling. She quickly used the excuse of answering the phone to go upstairs.
Sebastian glanced at Macro, didn’t speak, and immediately called Sofia. The other side quickly answered. “Brother.” “Why did Luka bring your people to Long Harbor?” Sofia was speechless. They went silent. Sebastian’s tone was so serious that Sofia’s breathing hitched.
