At a downtown steakhouse, Jackson had just sat down with Landyn when his phone rang. It was Elliot, telling him
to bring his lawyer tomorrow to review a contract.
Jackson's eyes lit up instantly. “Absolutely! Thanks, Mr. Grant. Appreciate it!”
Before he could say more, Elliot had already hung up.
He set his phone down, grinning at Landyn. “Order more. We're celebrating.”
Landyn raised a brow. “What happened?”
“Mr. Giovanni's team wants to move forward. Contract review’s set for tomorrow.”
Landyn’s jaw dropped. “It's a done deal?”
Mr. Giovanni has been in Long Harbor lately, personally handpicking local partners.
Plenty of people are desperate to work with him, all eyeing the resources he controls.
“Almost.” Jackson took a sip of wine, looking very pleased with himself.
The first step’s already done. The rest should fall into place.
Landyn leaned back. “Then you better lock Lilian down. Last thing you need is her pissing off Miss Giovanni

“If he knew, you think he’d still be out there embarrassing himself?”
Landyn shook his head. “So he dumped Stephanie for Olivia, and now he’s after her brother's house? This guy’s

Jackson set his glass down. “If you ask me, Chris and the Hart family are nothing but entertainment now.”
Between that house and the doctors they're begging for, now Chris and the Harts are running around like

this keeps up, the Ashford family could turn on itself”
If Chris was getting toyed with, there's no way it stopped with just him.
Once red realized Chris dragged the family into this mess, Chris was done for.
Meanwhile, Stephane and Sebastian are just sitting back, watching the circus from the shadows, letting these
idiots lose their minds
Reling even better Jackson called home, ordering his family to lock Lilian down tight for the next few days.
No phone calls no streaking out-nothing
Meanwhile, by the lake, Stephanie was staring at the water, then at the fishing rod in Sebastian’s hand.
Yeah
This is the fun you promised

Is it fund
Stephanie knew Sebastian was a pro at deep-sea fishing
Rick in Porenza, he and his friends used to charter boats for weekend fishing trips.

fish.
