Chapter 119

How many times did she have explained over the phone, why couldn’t they get it through their heads?

Catlin’s breathing was unsteady. “You. You

Fine. She had given the same reason over the phone, and she was sticking to it now. That was it, right?’

Furing, Catlin clenched her fists.

Stephanie had no interest in wasting another second on this.

She was about to walk past them when Olivia suddenly stepped in her way. “Stefi, what did you tell the Ashfords? Why are they doing this to me?*

Stephanie rolled her eyes.

Elliot narrowed his eyes.

At Olivia’s words, Catlin immediately turned to Stephanie with a sharp glare. “Yeah, what exactly did you say to them? Why would they send all these people here?”

The men surrounding Olivia were clearly there to keep an eye on her.

Stephanie took a glance at them, then shifted her gaze back to Olivia.

“Do you really think that highly of yourself?”

What had she told the Ashford family?”

Stephanie scoffed. “Do you honestly believe that just because you’ve always clung to Chris and the Ashfords, I’d care about them too?”

“You… Olivia’s breath hitched.

Meeting Stephanie’s eyes, she clenched her teeth. “If it wasn’t you, then who else could it be?”

Catlin fumed as she listened.

Sure, the Ashfords had already taken issue with Olivia before, but now it was clear these people had been sent by Fred himself.

Fred rarely involved himself in matters concerning the younger generation.

If he had stepped in now, it was only because Stephanie had taken things straight to him–enough to make him furious.

And to make things worse, she’d made their fallout public across all of Long Harbor. The mere thought made Catlin’s chest tighten.

She stared at Stephanie, “What did you tell the Ashfords? Are you still hung up on Chris?”

Stephanie rolled her eyes.

Elliot was speechless.

Everyone else was, too.

Especially Elliot–he looked at Catlin and Olivia like they were out of their minds.
