Ella was right. Since even Chris couldn’t pull any strings, then there was no hospital in Long Harbor that would admit Oliver

Stephanie thought for a moment. “Then what about going abroad?”

Ella responded. “That’s her only option. Otherwise, she won’t survive here in Long Harbor. You didn’t see her, the was discharged in a wheelchair, so weak she could barely sit up.

“And she still had the nerve to fight with you? Even if she managed to take Chris away, what’s she going to do with him? She doesn’t even have the health to enjoy it.”

Stephanie scoffed, “That’s a crude way to put it.”

‘Ella doesn’t even have a boyfriend, and she’s already making dirty jokes? she thought.

Ella clicked her tongue. “What? You don’t get it? Just because I don’t have a boyfriend doesn’t mean I don’t know how things work. You’re just inexperienced.”

Stephanie was momentarily stunned. The way Ella put it left her with no room to argue.

Ella could say that to her yesterday, but now, everything had changed. Stephanie was a full–fledged woman

“Next, the Hart family is definitely going to come looking for you non–stop. It’s going to be a nightmare, Ella said.

After all, both the mess at the Hart Group and Olivia’s treatment were now tied to Stephanie.

Stephanie huffed, “They won’t find me.” Her words were crisp, cold, and merciless.

Ella laughed. “Hey, girl, I respect that. That’s how it should be. Who the hell volunteers to be someone else’s backup plan, right?”

Ella had watched for years as the Hart family treated Stephanie terribly, and the anger had been simmering inside her.

But at least Stephanie wasn’t the type to beg for their approval.

If they had even a shred of decency, they wouldn’t be crawling back now after treating Stephanie so badly.

Stephanie wasn’t the type to tolerate endless harassment. If they pushed her too far, they might end up getting a good beating instead.

Just like Ella predicted, the Hart family members were now running around in a panic, desperate to find Stephanie.

Chris had failed to purchase Whispering Bay, and Olivia had been forcibly discharged from the hospital. Catlin had taken her straight back to the Hart residence. But without medical treatment, Olivia was barely holding on.

“Mom, this is all Stephanie’s doing, isn’t it? She had her foster brother do this to me,” Olivia said through gritted teeth, trying to endure the pain as beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.

Catlin’s heart ached as she looked at her.

Ever since they got back, Catlin had been trying to contact Stephanie. But no matter how many numbers she used, they were all blocked.

“Olivia, don’t panic. I will figure something out. I swear I will,” Catlin said.
