Chapter 166
Sebastian glanced at his watch, then looked toward the dining area.
Seeing that Stephanie was eating obediently, he said softly, ‘Is Chris still busy with the Whispering Bay matter?”
Chris had always wanted to buy the Whispering Bay for the 11art family’s adopted daughter.
Back in the day, Fred was known for being a ruthless and iron-fisted man.
It must have been utterly infuriating for him to have a son turn out like this.
Elliot nodded. “Yes.”
“Call Fred back and tell him...”
He paused mid-sentence because he saw Stephanie spit out the cake she had put in her mouth.
It seemed like she had bitten into something dirty as she spat repeatedly and even rinsed her mouth with water.
Sebastian's expression darkened slightly, and his tone followed suit. “Tell him his son’s matter is urgent.”
Elliot blinked in surprise.
He was certain that Fred would probably want to beat Chris to death if he heard that.
What pressing matter could Chris possibly have?
He was just getting all cozy with Olivia, and the most urgent thing right now was securing Whispering Bay for
her.
Speaking of Chris, Elliot couldn't help but sigh. “How did Mr. Ashford end up with a son like this?”

“If he is going to be a romantic, at least pick a decent partner. This guy is practically ensuring that his family will
have no heirs.”
And as for Olivia's character?
Based on the investigation, Chris’s taste in women was truly baffling.
Sebastian let out a low chuckle. “Which is why Mr. Ashford should be worrying about his son’s affairs first.”
Elliot immediately understood Sebastian's intention and felt that he was cunning.
Those people thought Sebastian wouldn't retaliate, but after how they treated Stephanie all these years, they
were never going to be forgiven that easily.
Elliot nodded. “I'll make the call now.”
Then, he left.
Sebastian gestured toward the butler hiding in the shadows. The butler stepped forward respectfully. “Sir?”
“Fire the entire kitchen staff today.”
The butler was stunned.
“Yes.”

Sebastian walked toward the dining area. By now, Stephanie had almost finished eating. He glanced at the
napkin where she had spit out the food
“Did it taste bad?”
“There were pebbles in it.”
The butler, who was following behind Sebastian, couldn’t help but tremble when he heard this. No wonder the
kitchen staff got fired.
Everyone knew how meticulous Sebastian was about food, especially when it cto Stephanie's meals.
Meanwhile, Stephanie had no idea that her casual complaint had caused the entire kitchen staff to lose their
jobs.
“Are you heading out?”
Sebastian nodded. “The Hart family should be in chaos by now?
They had likely been holding an emergency meeting all night.
If they were smart enough to figure out what was happening, they'd eventually clooking for Stephanie.
Otherwise, they'd just have to suffer the consequences.
Stephanie raised a brow. “What did you do to them?”
“Those cakes are wasted on them.”
Stephanie was at a loss for words.
Right, he did say he would hand the entire Hart family over to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe didn’t care much about that, but seeing that Sebastian was about to leave, she didn’t say anything else.
As expected, the Hart family was utterly clueless.
Until now, they didn’t understand what had happened.
Just as Sebastian left, Stephanie received a call from Jennifer, saying that Jackson was looking for her at the
office.
Hearing Jackson's name, Stephanie immediately knew it was about the ring.
“Tell him to wait an hour.”
“Yes.”
One hour should be just enough for her to get there.
