Chapter 97

Stephanie had originally planned to take a nap, but the studio kept calling one after another.

She couldn’t just mute her phone in the middle of the day.

After she answered Jennifer’s call, an unknown number came through, Catlin.

The moment Stephanie picked up, Catlin’s choked sobs filled the line. “Stefi, I’m begging you, please… just this once. Let Allison and Macro go to the hospital to treat Olivia, okay?”

Stephanie froze for a second.

“If there’s anyone to blame, it’s me! It’s all my fault! Please, don’t hate Olivia… I just wanted to teach you properly, but you were so stubborn, so…” Catlin’s voice cracked, and she couldn’t even finish her sentence in her desperation.

Stephanie’s voice was eerily calm. “You think I was stubborn? I was the difficult one?”

“I…” Catlin stammered, suddenly struggling to continue. It was obvious Catlin had wanted to say worse things, but right now, she needed Allison and Macro’s help.

At the end of the day, this was all still for Olivia. She was willing to swallow everything, as long as it was for Olivia.
