Chapter 185
Trouble. As in Olivia.
Grace had seen through the Hart family years ago. The whole bunch was rotten, and Olivia?
Even worse.
Too bad their idiot son was still blind to it.

Chris exhaled sharply. “I'm meeting the Lucano heir soon. Don’t worry, the minerals we need aren't going
anywhere.”
Fred scoffed. “You finally give a damn. Letguess, because of her?”
Like hell he didn’t know Chris was panicking for Olivia's sake.
Just as Chris turned to leave, Fred's voice dropped to an icy tone. “If the deal is signed tomorrow... As for
Olivia....
He didn’t finish, but Chris felt the threat loud and clear.
His expression darkened. “Leave her alone.”
Fred flicked his ashes. “That depends on you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChris had no idea how he even walked out of that office.
Kevin followed behind, silent and respectful.
The second Chris slid into the car, Kevin handed him a fresh shirt-his was still soaked from that damn water cup.
“You need to get that cut looked at?” Kevin asked, glancing at the wound on his forehead.
Fred hadn't held back.
Chris's voice was cold. “Find out where the Lucano heir is. Now.”
The Lucano Heir!
Hearing that name, Kevin Wright felt a headache coming on. That guy was just as impossible to deal with as the
man around Stephanie.
Kevin hesitated. “Actually... | just got a call.”
Chris narrowed his eyes. “What call?”
Kevin hesitated. “The Lucano family’s chosen partner, it might be the Hodge family.”
Chris stiffened. “The Hodges? Jackson Hodge?”
Kevin nodded. “Seems like it.”
The news wasn't fully confirmed yet, but it's looking that way.
Chris's jaw clenched so hard his teeth ached.
Jackson. That bastard had spent years competing with him over everything. And now this?

Without another word, Chris grabbed his phone and dialed. The call connected instantly. “Hello?”
Chris didn’t bother with pleasantries. “You're partnering with the Lucanos?”
At the Hodge estate, Jackson was still fuming after dragging Lilian back home.
So when Chris called, he didn’t bother hiding his irritation. “What, got a problem?” Jackson snapped.
Chris’s tone was sharp. “How'd you pull it off? Guess | really underestimated you.”

Jackson let out a dry laugh. “You wanted it so bad? Should've made a move yourself. Don’t whine tojust
because you lost.”
Chris couldn't even get a meeting with the Lucano heir, yet he had the nerve to call and complain? Pathetic.
Jackson smirked. “But hey, letmake it easy for you-you could pull every trick in the book, and you still
wouldn’t land this deal.”
Because Stephanie wouldn't allow it.
Sebastian guarded his sister like a hawk. If he ever teamed up with Chris, hell would've frozen over first.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, at the Giovanni manor, Stephanie’s pulse jumped the second she saw Sebastian pick up his wine
glass.
Just as he lifted it to his lips, she shot out a hand and grabbed his wrist.
Sebastian frowned in confusion. “Stefi?”
“I'll drink for you,” Stephanie said, reaching for his glass.
-No way she was letting him have another drop.
Dealing with someone who blacked out every tthey drank was beyond frustrating.
He'd gotten drunk before, but back then, he wasn’t this much trouble.
Now? Two times in a row, and both times he'd completely lost control.
