Chapter 136

Chapter 136

Just as Sebastian had expected.

The Hart family was in complete chaos.

Liang Panming called Catlin Hart twice more, both times asking if she had seen Stephanie Giovanni.

Chad called Catlin twice, asking if she had seen Stephanie. He even tried calling Stephanie himself, but of course, the call didn’t go through–she had long since blocked him.

Originally, Catlin had planned to return home if she couldn’t find Stephanie. She wasn’t comfortable leaving Olivia alone at the hospital.

But Chad kept calling over and over again, and she finally lost her patience!

Now, she was causing a scene in the lobby of the estate, arguing with the receptionist. “I want to see my daughter! Why won’t you give me her information?”

She kept asking the receptionist for information about Stephanie Giovanni’s stay there.

Yet, two whole hours passed, and the receptionist refused to provide anything. This pushed Catlin over the edge.

That wretched girl–was she really trying to ruin the Hart family?

An ungrateful brat! If she had known how disloyal Stephanie would turn out to be, she never would have brought her back in the first place.

The more Catlin thought about it, the angrier she became!

Even the receptionist was starting to lose patience. “Mrs. Hart, if I’m not mistaken, didn’t you announce a few days ago that you had severed ties with Miss Giovanni?”

Catlin froze.

She sucked in a sharp breath, and fury flared in her eyes.

“What does that have to do with you?”

“In that case, you no longer have the right to access Miss Giovanni’s personal information.”

Catlin couldn’t say anything.

“In other words, you’re not in any position to inquire about her whereabouts.”

Just two simple sentences from the receptionist, and Catlin was so livid she nearly fainted.

“You–you-

Despite her rage, she had to admit the receptionist was right.

This digital age was terrifying. The slightest bit of news could spread so far, so quickly.

Catlin’s breathing turned erratic.

Before she could say anything else, her phone rang–it was Olivia.

“Olivia.”
