Chapter 55

The words “what’s wrong with your hit Catlin’s nerves hard..

Catlin “That woman already paid the price, she’s dead. Isn’t that enough?”

Stephanie “Not enough!”

She coldly spat the words out, and to Catlin, it felt like pure cruelty.

“She died to atone for what she did to me back then, but Olivia still needs to atone for her own sins?

“She didn’t do anything? Why don’t you believe the car accident was just an accident?”

Catlin nearly went mad.

What

hat she hated the most was that Stephanie always brought up that incident from years ago with Olivia.

Stephanie: “Refuse to sever ties? Fine?

Dwelling on old thing??

No patience for it.

She rose, bag in hand, striding toward the door.

Catlin blocked her path. “Where are you going? We’re not done!”

Stephanie: “What do you want? What right do you have to ask for an explanation from me?”

At this point, do we still need to talk about it?

If you want to talk, then let’s talk!

Stephanie directly dialed Elliot’s phone number. The line connected quickly,

Stephanie spoke first: “Terminate all legal ties between me and the Harts.”

“Okay.”

Stephanie hung up the phone.

Catlin’s breath hitched at “terminate“. “Who did you call? Terminating what?”

She had an ominous premonition about it.

Stephanie shot her a withering glare, striding out with her bag

She shoved past her. Jennifer, escort Mrs. Hart out–politeness optional.”

Hearing this, Catlin was so angry that her brain throbbed.

Is this the daughter I gave birth to? Treated like this? Raised without my influence–no bond remains.

Jennifer came in. “Mrs. Hart, would you like to leave with some dignity, or would you like me to show you out?”

Catlin glared, her brain buzzing with anger.

Chapter 55

Soon, her harsh stance toward Stephanie backfired.

On the way to the hospital, Chad called.

“You confronted Stephanie again?”

Catlin: “Yes. She’s not the simpleton we thought-

“Earned more than two million dollars last year! No wonder she shrugged off our financial cuts.

“She’s so cunning

Chad rubbed his temples, ignoring her rant.

He only knew what kind of blow they had suffered because of Stephanic.

I’m telling you, whatever she asks for now, you agree to it.”

“What do you mean?”

Chad’s abrupt statement cut through Catlin’s rage–fueled haze–she couldn’t process it.

Stephanie reduced me to this, and now I’m supposed to agree to her every demand?

How is that possible?

Chad “Half an hour ago, I got a call. If we don’t meet her demands, the company will be shut down.”

You believe that?”

-Who in Long Harbor could threaten them like this?

And who made that call?

She just left Stephanie’s office thirty minutes ago.

Chad: “You think I’d believe it? But in these thirty minutes, two partners canceled deals!”

Those partners were vital to the Hart Group.

Losing two big projects in half an hour–the person behind this must be very powerful.

Catlin was shocked.

“You mean… this happened because I went to see Stephanie and refused her demands?”

“They named her directly. Isn’t it obvious?”

Catlin was just speechless.

“What did she ask for?”
