Chapter 139

Chris Ashford was dumbfounded!

Catlin’s breathing was slightly unsteady.

Seeing that Stephanie was about to leave, Chad panicked completely. “Stefi?”

“What are you standing there for?”

Noticing that Catlin was frozen in place, Chad shot her a furious look.

Only then did Catlin snap out of it and hurriedly chase after Stephanie,

By the time she caught up, Stephanie and Sebastian had already reached the entrance.

She rushed forward and grabbed Stephanie’s other hand. “Stefi, Mom and Dad need to talk to you.”

The two stopped.

Stephanie turned her head slightly, her voice cool. “Mom? Dad?”

Her tone, in the cold night air, carried a faint trace of mockery.

A tightness gripped Catlin’s chest.

She instinctively glanced at the man beside Stephanie, sensing the dangerous aura emanating from him.

Clutching Stephanie’s hand, she subconsciously tightened her grip. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have treated you that way, Steff.”

Stephanie cast her a mocking look.

She jerked her arm, trying to pull free, but Catlin refused to let go.

Stephanie raised an eyebrow. “What are you doing?”

Catlin pleaded, “Let’s talk, okay?”

At this moment, frustration boiled inside Catlin.

She never expected Stephanie to be so capable.

Chad and Tyler both insisted that the company’s current crisis was her doing. But how could that be?

Suppressing her displeasure, Catlin forced herself to remain patient.

“Is our company’s trouble really because of you?”

Even though everyone said so, she still couldn’t believe it. She refused to believe that Stephanie was truly capable of this.

Stephanie smirked. “What do you think?”

Catlin froze.

What did she think?

Forget it. No matter what, she couldn’t let things spiral further out of control. “Tell me, Stefi–what can I do to let this go?”
