When Olivia heard about Stephanie’s card being suspended, a brief flash of satisfaction crossed her face.

‘Stephanie, she thought, the Hart family isn’t yours. There’s only room for one daughter here, and that’s me

She felt a smug sense of victory, but quickly masked it with faux concern. “How is Stefi going to manage without her card? She’s been living off you for the last two years, and she doesn’t even have a job.

Tyler shot her an annoyed look. “Olivia, stop defending her. This is the perfect chance to teach her a lesson about anger management.”

Olivia hesitated, glancing at Catlin.

Catlin nodded in agreement. “Tyler’s right. It’s about time she learned to act like a proper young lady.”

The thought of Stephanie’s anger issue made Catlin’s head ache.

She couldn’t believe Stephanie would just give up on Chris. In Catlin’s mind, everything Stephanie did two years ago, she did it for Chris.

The car accident? Catlin believed that Olivia wasn’t the one to be blame–she had just been a convenient excuse. Stephanie just wanted to get rid of Olivia so that she could win Chris over.

Olivia’s gaze shifted to Chris.

Chris furrowed his brow but stayed quiet. His silence was telling, showing he agreed with Catlin and Tyler’s ideas

Catlin turned her focus back to Olivia. “How’s your ankle? Is it serious?”

Olivia shook her head. “It’s fine. It’s just that Chris insisted on bringing me to the hospital.”

Catlin frowned slightly. “You need to be careful. Your dad arranged for the best specialist to see you, so let’s get you checked again.”

“Thanks, Mom,” Olivia said with a sweet smile.

Catlin smiled back, her heart softening at the sight. “Silly girl. It’s the least Dad and Mom can do for you.”

Her thoughts wandered for a moment, remembering the difficult years Olivia had been through.
