Chapter 73

The sudden news left Catlin questioning her hearing

More than two million dollars, earned by Stephanie?

Impossible!

“Lilian saw her studio at Eastview Tower, Tyler pressed.

The air in the ward fell silent.

Catlin’s pupils constricted, shock spreading across her face.

“You sure?”

“Yes, she did make more than two million dollars last year.

Her breath hitched.

More than two million dollars–how?

How did she do it?

“No wonder our financial threats failed. It turned out she…

More than two million dollars. How on earth did she make it?

“You can’t let her keep that studio.”

Catlin was furious.

The thought of Stephanie earning that much money without her knowing ignited her fury.

“Earning so much and still comparing herself to Olivia? She doesn’t deserve that.”

Tyler nodded. “Don’t worry, it’s already been taken care of.”

His assistant had blacklisted Stephanie across Long Harbor’s firms.

He didn’t believe she would be able to cooperate with foreign companies.

With her limited capabilities, she’d only stumbled into success by accident.

Soon, she’d crawl back to the Harts.

“How’d she pull this off?” Catlin seethed.

Suddenly, they felt like fools-

These days of frenzied account freezes and career blockades, only to learn she’d earned more than two million dollars last

year.

On the hospital bed, Olivia had feigned sleep through Lilian and Tyler’s conversation.

Now, Tyler’s phone call and Catlin’s words made her blood boil.

Damn Stephanie. How could she make it?
