Chapter 49

Eastview Tower.

After the meeting, Stephanie stepped out of the conference room, and Jennifer quickly approached. “Boss, big news,”

“What big news?”

“Someone’s trying to push you to the edge.”

Stephanie raised an eyebrow and glanced at Jennifer.

Jennifer continued. “The Hart family is spreading the word to all major companies that they shouldn’t hire you, and we’ve heard the same thing”

Stephanie was silent.

A cold gleam flashed in her eyes, her gaze narrowing as a slow smile curled at the corner of her lips.

“Heh, alright”

“Are we going to fight back?”

Jennifer knows Stephanie’s place in the Hart family and thought they were really going too far.

Treating their own daughter like this, and it was clear it was all because of their adopted daughter.

To treat their biological daughter so harshly for the sake of an adopted one–what kind of family was this?

It was utterly despicable!

Stephanie replied, “Fight back? No need.”

Someone would deal with them.

After all. Olivia Hart was already terminally ill, and she didn’t want to bother with them anymore.

If no one took action, it might actually be better to leave things as they were.

…of course…

But,

The Hart family clearly thought their good days were too easy. If they felt like they were too comfortable now…

Then, she’d have to….

A cold, mocking glint passed through Stephanie’s eyes as she walked toward her office.

Suddenly.

The receptionist’s voice came from the front:

“Mr. Hodge? What brings you here? Are you here to give our studio a project?”

Stephanie turned toward the voice.

There, she saw Jackson and Lilian walking in.

Jackson looked furious. As soon as he spotted Stephanie, he marched up toward her.
