Chapter 55 The words "what's wrong with your hit Catlin's nerves hard..
Catlin "That woman already paid the price, she's dead. Isn't that enough?" Stephanie "Not enough!" She coldly spat the words out, and to Catlin, it felt like pure cruelty.
"She died to atone for what she did toback then, but Olivia still needs to atone for her own sins? "She didn't do anything? Why don't you believe the car accident was just an accident?" Catlin nearly went mad.
What hat she hated the most was that Stephanie always brought up that incident from years ago with Olivia.
Stephanie: "Refuse to sever ties? Fine? Dwelling on old thing?? No patience for it.
She rose, bag in hand, striding toward the door.
Catlin blocked her path. "Where are you going? We're not done!" Stephanie: "What do you want? What right do you have to ask for an explanation from me?" At this point, do we still need to talk about it? If you want to talk, then let's talk! Stephanie directly dialed Elliot's phone number. The line connected quickly, Stephanie spoke first: "Terminate all legal ties betweenand the Harts." "Okay." Stephanie hung up the phone.
Catlin's breath hitched at “terminate". "Who did you call? Terminating what?" She had an ominous premonition about it.
Stephanie shot her a withering glare, striding out with her bag She shoved past her. Jennifer, escort Mrs. Hart out-politeness optional." Hearing this, Catlin was so angry that her brain throbbed.
Is this the daughter I gave birth to? Treated like this? Raised without my influence-no bond remains.

1/4 Mon, 3 Mar Chapter 55 Soon, her harsh stance toward Stephanie backfired.
On the way to the hospital, Chad called.
"You confronted Stephanie again?" Catlin: "Yes. She's not the simpleton we thought- "Earned more than two million dollars last year! No wonder she shrugged off our financial cuts.
"She's so cunning Chad rubbed his temples, ignoring her rant.
He only knew what kind of blow they had suffered because of Stephanic.
I'm telling you, whatever she asks for now, you agree to it." "What do you mean?" Chad's abrupt statement cut through Catlin's rage-fueled haze-she couldn't process it.
Stephanie reducedto this, and now I'm supposed to agree to her every demand? How is that possible? Chad "Half an hour ago, I got a call. If we don't meet her demands, the company will be shut down." You believe that?" -Who in Long Harbor could threaten them like this? And who made that call? She just left Stephanie's office thirty minutes ago.
Chad: "You think I'd believe it? But in these thirty minutes, two partners canceled deals!" Those partners were vital to the Hart Group.
Losing two big projects in half an hour-the person behind this must be very powerful.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatlin was shocked.
"You mean... this happened because I went to see Stephanie and refused her demands?" "They named her directly. Isn't it obvious?" Catlin was just speechless.
"What did she ask for?" Catlin To cut all ties with us! How can I agree?" She thought Stephanie's last call was a blutf.
Now, clearly not.

But the way she did it...
Catlin's heart ached. How can my own daughter do this? Chad's breath tightened.
"She really said that?" "Or what? What else would she want?" At this point, Catlin wished Stephanie wanted money, jewelry- Anything negotiable.
If she wanted those things-as long as Allison and Macro treated Olivia Hart's condition-Catlin'd agree to anything! But what she wanted was to cut all ties? Catlin was enraged.
Chad growled "What did you fight about this time?" His tone blamed her.
That threatening call was real-the caller could destroy the Hart Group Catlin: "She made two million dollars last year! I had to know how!" "She's my daughter. I won't let her disgrace herself." -Chad: "So you just... asked her?" "What else?" You He choked on rage.
Catlin always provoked Stephanie with her harsh words.
Raised away from them-her temper's a mystery.
Harsh tactics won't work on her.
Chad: "How many times must I say-be patient "Patient? After Cloudridge Valley, you cut off her cards!" When it cto Stephanie, neither of them could persuade each other.
Chad: "Enough! Fix this now." "How? She doesn't an And her attitude! answer my calls or seenow." "If this matter isn't handled well, I'm afraid your title as Mrs. Hart will be over." 3/4 4/4 22:02 Mon, 3 Mar Chapter 54 Furious, he slammed the plone.

Now this..." The Ashford family was already unhappy with him because of Olivia, and now this stranger showed up to make things Chad felt like his life had becunbearable.
Til handle it The line went dead.
Chris glanced at his left hand, which was in a cast.
His tone grew colder as he asked Kevin, "Still haven't found out who that man is?" Hearing Chris's cold tone, Kevin broke into a cold sweat.
"The forces behind her have been blocking us. We haven't found anything." To this day, they didn't even know the guy's name.
Chapter 54 Stephanie jammed belongings into her designer bag after hanging up on Sebastian Jennifer entered just as the leather grazed a sharp edge.
"Boss, letpack for you".
She rescued the bag, meticulously arranging items.
This kind of bag is the most delicate and expensive.
It will depreciate if it is scratched.
"Why are you being so careful?" "The material of this bag is very fragile. Next time, you should just carry a canvas bag-sturdier for your habits." At least you don't have to feel bad about treating it so roughly.
* 49% Stephanie spared no concem for the current bag's fate-but Jennifer's heart ached just witnessing its mistreatment.
"Buyone then. I'll pay you.
Her bag was full of stuff, and she didn't think this kind of bag could hold much.

Mrs. Hart Carlin? Here! Stephanie's face darkened a little. "We get only one exit here?" "Front and back doors are intervisible." The front door offered a clear view of the back. If Stephanie tried to leave through the back door now, Catlin, who was waiting at the front, would see her immediately.
Stephanie's jaw clenched.
"Let her in she said irritably.
Jennifer nodded. "Okay" Alone now, Stephanie was ready to be tougher this time- Or her office would becanother battleground.

"Who told you that!" "Answer me""" Catlin roared But even if she didn't say it. Stephanie knew it was Olivia Hart who did it.

Stephanie reclaimed her phone. "Logical, given your farce." You ungrateful wretch!" "Grateful? For what?" Stephanie laughed coldly, feeling like she had heard a ridiculous joke.
"Even if I were grateful, it wouldn't be your turn to receive my gratitude, okay? Who do you think you are?" Catlin "..." Who are you? Who do you think you are? -Each word severed ties sharper than a blade.
Catlin swayed, clutching her chest-her gaze venomous.
