Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 93

Back at that auction, Catlin had been there herself–with Olivia right by her side.

She still remembered the way Olivia’s eyes lit up the second they saw that yellow diamond on display.

But something like that, with a price tag over 30 million dollars? That wasn’t something the Harts could snap up just because they wanted to.

And now, the person who did win the bid turned it into a necklace, and it was sitting around Stephanie’s neck?

What the hell kind of relationship did Stephanie have with the buyer?

Stephanie’s voice broke her thoughts. “Sicily Sunrise.”

Catlin’s breath caught.

‘It really was that diamond.

Her heart skipped before she forced herself to stay calm. “Who gave it to you? What’s your connection to them?”

Stephanie’s smile turned razor sharp. “What’s it to you?”

Catlin’s expression stiffened.

“You-”

She wanted to snap back, but then she remembered why she was even here today. Whatever she wanted to say got swallowed back down.

Lately, Stephanie’s attitude toward the family had been colder than ice.

But no matter what, Catlin still considered herself her mother, and being treated like this by her own child? That was hard to swallow.

Stephanie didn’t give her time to play the victim. “Just get to the point.”

‘Why was she wasting time asking about jewelry when they both knew that wasn’t the real reason she came?‘

Catlin’s breath hitched again, but she pushed forward. “Dr. Pierce and Dr. Vitale, both of them need to come back. We can’t drag this out any longer.”

The medical team had been pressing for days.

Without those two, Olivia’s chances were getting slimmer by the hour.

Stephanie let out a dry laugh.

“You’ve been ducking my lawyer all week. Honestly, I was starting to think you didn’t care whether Olivia made it or not.”

Catlin’s face went pale.

And the second Stephanie mentioned her lawyer, that pale turned straight to gray.

“I’m not signing anything.” Catlin’s voice sharpened. “Like it or not, you’re my daughter. I gave birth to you.”

She said it like that meant something–as if those words alone should make Stephanie forget everything.
