Chapter 314

After three years of running away, getting a scolding was inevitable. Michael sternly eyed Stephanie as if he wanted to devour her with his gaze.

Over the years, everyone was worried Stephanie might get into trouble. Even though they later found out she rarely encountered losses with those folks in Long Harbor, three years of constant worry took a toll on their hearts.

In the end, Stephanie took advantage of favorable circumstances. All the negative press was directed at the Ashford and the Hart family.
