Ella watched as the screen of Stephanie’s phone flickered, the constant barrage of calls taking its toll.

In just a few minutes, the phone had been ringing nonstop. Ella couldn’t help but suggest, “Why don’t you just turn it off?”

Stephanie glanced at the phone, frustrated. Blocking the numbers wasn’t doing much anymore–every call was from an

unknown number.

Stephanie didn’t even need to answer to know that Catlin was behind this, probably calling from one of their maids phones. She sighed, clearly irritated.

Ella was right. Stephanie accepted her advice and turned off the phone.

But Catlin’s punishment didn’t stop there.

Stephanie stayed with Ella for a while, trying to calm down. After a few moments, they both got ready to leave.

When it was time to pay, the waitress walked over with a strange expression, hesitating slightly before saying, “Sorry, Miss, your card was declined”

Stephanie’s eyes flickered to the card she had grabbed randomly from her wallet. She remembered–it was the one Catlin had given her when she first returned to the Hart family, years ago.

Back then, she hadn’t wanted it, but Catlin had insisted.

Now, the card wouldn’t go through.

Ella, noticing the exchange, quickly pieced things together. “Anything wrong?”

Stephanie sighed deeply. “Catlin froze my card.”

Ella’s lips twitched in disbelief. “Because of Olivia? What kind of mother does that to her own daughter?”

Ella couldn’t hide her disgust.

She was appalled by how some people would treat their children this way.

Stephanie gave a nonchalant smile, clearly used to this. “It’s not the first time.”

Ella gently pushed Stephanie’s hand away from the card. “Let me.”

Without waiting for a response, she pulled her own card from her bag and handed it to the waitress.

Stephanie immediately protested. “No, I got this.”
