As soon as Stephanie spoke, Jackson felt his hair stand on end. But he couldn’t show his anger, not even dare to
Sure enough, on the other end of the phone, Sebastian's tone turned icy the moment he heard her words.
“Tell him to get lost!”
Jackson was speechless.
Stephanie’s mouth twitched as she instinctively glanced over at him.
Jackson's head pounded-what did Sebastian mean by that?
It sounded as if he believed someone was bullying Stephanie.
Just as he was about to step forward, Stephanie continued over the phone, “He said he delivered the wrong gift
and wants it
back.”
Finally, an explanation.
Jackson thought, “This might work-yesterday, he delivered the wrong item and was told they wouldn't

exchange with me.”
Stephanie had already opened the box and, seeing a bracelet inside, recounted every detail.
At the mention of a bracelet, Jackson felt a sinking dread.
Sure enough, a moment later, Sebastian's voice cback on the line. “Tell him to get lost immediately.”
After saying that, Sebastian hung up.
Jackson had never felt so utterly disillusioned.
When Stephanie noticed that Sebastian had hung up, she looked at Jackson and said, “You see? There's no way

to have defended him.
Taking several deep breaths to subdue his frustration, Jackson finally muttered, “Thanks.”
He couldn’t help but think how utterly infuriating she was-so tongue-tied, all because Sebastian had spoiled her.
Jackson felt he couldn't bear to stay in that office for another minute.
He truly thought Stephanie was insufferable.

Jackson tried to push it back. “No, this was meant as a token of apology for you?
“I can’t accept it,” Stephanie insisted.
Since childhood, Sebastian had taught her never to accept any gifts from a man, not even a needle.
Just yesterday, the ring nearly got her into serious trouble. If she dared take this bracelet, there would be no
explaining it.
She wouldn't dare to push Sebastian’s button.

Jackson looked at Stephanie and, recalling Sebastian's harsh words on the phone, decided, “Forget it...
He retrieved the box. “So what about Lilian’s matter?”
“Forget it,” Stephanie replied.
Even though she said “forget it,” Jackson couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.
Knowing her well, he knew that this girl was no pushover..
That “forget it” sounded a bit too dismissive.
But he was so fed up-
