At the Hart residence, after Chris had a quick chat with Tyler, he went straight to see Olivia. Given the situation, he was both angry and feeling powerless.

Sebastian was calling all the shots. He’d completely cut off the Hart family from any outside help. Catlin had reached out to her social circle, but no one was willing to assist the Hart family.

Chris approached Olivia’s closed door and could faintly hear her arguing loudly with someone inside.

This time, he didn’t rush in like he did at the hospital. Instead, he pressed his ear to the door.

Olivia had no idea he was there. Her voice was sharp and defiant. “Oh, you think I’m scared now? Let me tell you, I’m going to die. Go ahead and spill the beans. Just give me a quick end.

She was really losing it. Stephanie was constantly pressuring her, and now the kidnapper’s threats were piling on top of the pain of her illness.

She couldn’t understand why she deserved such punishment. All she wanted was to keep what she had, and she didn’t think that was wrong.

Before the other person could respond, she continued, “Don’t forget–I wanted Stephanie dead back then. Did you do it?” Olivia’s voice rose, almost hysterical.

Olivia believed that if Stephanie had died in that accident, she wouldn’t be in this mess now.

“I wanted Stephanie dead. You didn’t do it, but I still paid you. And now you’re trying to blackmail me?” she shouted.

Just then, the door burst open with a loud bang, slamming against the wall. Olivia was on the phone, but the noise startled her, cutting her off mid–sentence. She looked toward the doorway, her eyes widening in shock.

When Olivia’s eyes met Chris’s piercing gaze, her mind went into overdrive.

Chris’s eyes narrowed, and a fierce look slowly spread across his face.
