Chapter 75

Hearing the voice, everyone instinctively turned toward it, only to see Stephanie standing not far away, clad in a beige coat.

Her hands were tucked into her pockets, and there was a faint, treadable smile on her face.

At that moment, the three of them felt their hearts leap into their throats.

Stephanie strolled toward them with a casual, almost leisurely pace, while Elliot followed closely behind.

Elliot’s expression was grim.

Even though he had read the reports and knew the details, witnessing it firsthand was something else entirely.

“How could they be so ruthless to their own family? he thought.

Stephanie stopped in front of Catlin, tilting her head slightly. “So, you were discussing kidnapping me? For Olivia?”

Catlin’s nerves were stretched to their breaking point. Of all times, she hadn’t expected that Stephanie had to overhear this.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to speak. “J–Just ask Allison and Macro to help.

“And if I refuse?” Stephanie asked, her voice light but sharp. “What then? Are you planning to kill me?”

She had heard everything just now. They were willing to go so far for Olivia that they had even considered abducting her and forcing her to make the call. Blood relations? What a joke.

Catlin opened her mouth but found herself utterly speechless in the face of Stephanie’s calm but oppressive presence.

Tyler, seeing Catlin being completely overpowered by Stephanie’s demeanor, lost his patience.

He stepped forward and shoved Stephanie hard. “Enough! Is this how you talk to your elders!”

The moment Stephanie staggered, Elliot caught her effortlessly, then immediately lashed out, his foot slamming into Tyler’s

abdomen

A sharp, searing pain shot through Tyler’s body. He clutched his stomach, his face drained of color. “How dare you?” he hissed through gritted teeth.

Catlin hurriedly stepped in to support Tyler, her face pale with shock and rage. “What do you think you’re doing?”

Chris, meanwhile, locked his gaze onto Elliot. Another man? Who the hell is this now?‘ he thought, his expression darkening.

Chris could feel the sheer intensity radiating from Elliot. His eyes narrowed dangerously. “Stephanie, come here,” he ordered coldly.

At that moment, irritation clawed at his insides.

Why are there always men around her? In just a few days, she has been surrounded by three different men,‘ he wondered.
