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.

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