Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 244

The Hart family was completely shattered.

After questioning Olivia, Catlin had run out of the house in a frenzy.

Inside, only Olivia and Tyler were left. Olivia’s eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at Tyler. But Tyler, who used to look at her so gently, now had nothing but cold indifference in his gaze

Tyler, Olivia choked out.

But the only response she got was Tyler’s cold back as he walked away toward his room.

The icy rejection made the pain in Olivia’s chest even worse, stealing her breath away. Tears streamed endlessly down her

face.

That evening, Stephanie was sitting in the living room watching TV. She wasn’t usually one to play on her phone much.

A news ticker rolled across the bottom of the screen. [Breaking news: An assault has occurred today involving a prominent family in the city. Stay tuned for detailed coverage]

The anchor was reporting the news in a formal, detached tone. Stephanie took a closer look at the video footage playing in the background and thought one of the figures looked a lot like Catlin.

Just as she was about to get a better look, her phone buzzed. It was Ella calling.

Stephanie answered. “Ella?”

“Stefi, Catlin might have slashed someone!” Ella’s voice was tense.

Stephanie was a little stunned. Hearing that, she instinctively glanced back at the TV, where the anchor was still reporting. She stared hard at the screen and realized it really was Catlin–handcuffed and being led away.

“It’s not ‘might, it’s real,” Stephanie said. Since it was already on the city news, she was convinced that Catlin had really done

iL.

“Oh my god, is she insane?” Ella said.

“Let me see who she assaulted,” Stephanie murmured, leaning in closer to the TV.

“You’re watching the news right now?” Ella asked.

“Yeah, Stephanie replied.

“No need to watch it anymore. She definitely assaulted Chad’s mistress,” Ella said flatly. In her mind, the only thing that could drive a married woman to that kind of madness was a mistress stealing what was rightfully hers.

Stephanie thought about it and figured Ella made sense. Looking closer, she realized Catlin had indeed hacked Ch mistress. She must’ve completely lost it.

Ella asked, “But if she was that furious, why didn’t she slash Olivia too?”

Chad had run off to be with a mistress, and yet Olivia had come out of it unharmed. It seemed Olivia really did hold a special place in Catlin’s heart.

Stephanie thought Ella had a point, but after considering it a moment, she figured it was only natural. “Olivia has been
