Chapter 321

“Amber flipped out right there in the hospital Called Caitlin out–said Clivia’s a train wreck, accused Caitlin of pushing Olivia to steal Chris, even hooking Civis up with Tyler. It got messy Ella kept going, her gossip engine revved up.

Stephanie froze, her cup stuck halfway to her mouth.

This was insane shoving Olivia at Chris, pairing Olivia with Tyler? Like something straight out of a cheesy drama.

Thinking back, Caitlin’s old begging sessions with her had that same energy

Then there was Tyler–ever since Olivia got sick, Caitlin had him stuck to her hip, wearing him out.

The whole family revolved around Olivia,

A blowup this big? It’d spread like crazy–the Hodges wouldn’t sleep on it.

Stephanie hummed. “Send it.”
