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.

Her meaning was crystal clear. Chris was stupid, completely and utterly brainless.

Chris almost passed out from sheer anger. “How dare you!”

“You’re not even qualified to question me, yet here you are trying to humiliate me? Do you even understand the situation. you’re in?” she continued.

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

Stephanie twisted sarcasm deeper. “First, I dumped you. The entire Long Harbor knows about it.”

Chris stiffened on the spot.

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