Chapter 479

Jackson snorted, “What I want with her is none of your business. What’s the matter? Are you afraid to see me? Or do you just not dare to?”

Tyler fell silent. When he first learned that Jackson was also targeting the Hart Group, he had been furious. He had wanted to confront Jackson at the Hodge family’s place several times. But now, with the Hart family in its current state, it was true that he didn’t dare.

Seeing Tyler’s silence, Jackson let out a cold snort. “The matter with Lilian won’t just be let go.” Toying with his sister, Jackson’s temper was not something to be trifled with. Tyler’s audacity was truly something else.

Tyler’s fists clenched even tighter. He looked at Jackson and said, “The Hart family has nothing left now. What more do you want?”

The phrase “nothing left” made Jackson pause for a moment. Then, looking at Tyler, he asked, “Really nothing?”

“What do you think the Hart family has left?” Tyler said.

Nothing. Because of one Stephanie, now there was truly nothing left.

Jackson said, “That’s really a pity.”

Tyler said nothing.

“I haven’t even started my revenge, and I didn’t expect such a big Hart family to be so easily dismantled.” The sarcasm in his words almost made Tyler lose his breath in anger.

With Sebastian already on the case, no one else needed to make a big effort to bring down the Hart family.

Jackson started the car again and glanced at Tyler. “They really won’t let you in?”

Tyler fell silent. This guy was really detestable. Even when he was on good terms with Lilian, he had never had a good impression of Jackson. Beneath his playboy and rascal demeanor lay an absolute ruthlessness. Anyone who had a deep interaction with Jackson knew that, despite his seemingly simple appearance, he was actually unfathomable. This man was so profound that no one could truly understand him. But come to think of it, if he were just a playboy, the entire Hodge family wouldn’t flourish under his control.

Seeing Tyler at a loss for words, Jackson let out a soft chuckle. “Stefi is really too unreasonable. You are, after all, her own brother.”

And now, this scene was just too satisfying. The way these people had treated Stephanie in the past, they were now paying the corresponding price.

The security guard replied to Jackson, “Mr. Hodge, Ms. Giovanni has allowed you to enter.”

Upon hearing this, Tyler’s expression darkened even further.

Jackson looked at him, his tone becoming even more sarcastic. “I’ll go in then. You can stay here and catch a cold.”

With a roar, the car sped off and directly entered the gates of the Shallow Bay Area estate.

At this moment, even just watching the tail lights of Jackson’s car, Tyler felt that his arrogance had reached its peak. His anger made his teeth grind together.

The driver glanced at him and cautiously asked, “Should we continue to wait?”

Given the current situation, if Stephanie didn’t change her mind, they wouldn’t even be able to get through the gate.

After learning the truth, Tyler had initially felt some guilt towards Stephanie. But now, after being repeatedly denied a meeting, that guilt had completely dissipated. To put it bluntly, he hadn’t come to see Stephanie today to confess his regrets. Instead, he had come to see Catlin.

Before coming here, he had first gone to the detention center, hoping to see his mother. But he was told that a visit was not possible. In other words, as long as Stephanie didn’t give her consent, he wouldn’t even be able to see his own mother.

Inside the cozy castle, Stephanie sat on the sofa as a servant draped a blanket over her. Stephanie politely said, “Thank you.”

“There’s no need for you to be polite with me, Ms. Giovanni,” the servant replied warmly. They all loved being around Stephanie – she was easy to serve and had a good temper.

Of course, that was because they had never seen Stephanie in a bad temper; otherwise, Chris wouldn’t end up with those injuries. Half of them were from her.

Sebastian’s call came through, and Stephanie answered, “Are you on your way back?”

“Yes, I’m on the road. Has Allison checked on you?” he asked.

Hearing this, Stephanie was somewhat surprised. “You sent Allison here?”

‘No wonder,’ she thought. She had been wondering why Allison would come to Shallow Bay Area for no apparent reason. Her heart warmed once again.
