He wanted to say that they should sever all ties with Olivia once and for all. It was obvious that Stephanie was furious because of her.

But then his eyes fell on Chris, and he swallowed the words.

After all, he knew exactly how Chris felt about Olivia.

Even though Fred had recently distanced himself from the Hart family, Chris might still be their key to continued cooperation.

Catlin was livid. “How could she–how could she be like this?”

Chad scoffed. “Isn’t it your fault? If you had treated her better when you brought her back, none of this would have happened.”

Already seething, Catlin just snapped.

“When was I ever bad to her? Did I mistreat her from the start? Did she ever appreciate my kindness?”

Chris, chilled to the bone, turned and left without another word.

Kevin quickly followed.
