Chris narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean by that?”

“Being so stupid, do you really expect me to believe you’ve been running a company properly? Other than lying to your parents, what else can you even do?” Stephanie suvered.

Frankly, she didn’t buy for a second that he was truly capable of managing Ashford Group.

Chris froze for a moment. He really wanted to sew her mouth shut.

Upon thinking back to the hospital, when Catlin and Tyler had actually talked about kidnapping her, Stephanie’s eyes flashed with an icy chill.
