Chapter 66 Stephanie had originally planned to take a nap, but the stukept calling one after another.
She couldn't just mute her phone in the middle of the day.
After she answered Jennifer's call, an unknown number cthrough, Catlin 48% The moment Stephanie picked up, Catlin's choked solas filled the line. "Steli, I'm begging you, please... just this once. Let Allison and Macro go to the hospital to treat Olivia, okay?" Stephanie froze for a second.
"If there's anyone to blame, it's me! It's all my fault! Please, don't hate Olivia... I just wanted to teach you properly, but you were so stubborn, so... Catlin's voice cracked, and she couldn't even finish her sentence in her desperation.
Stephanie's voice was eerily calm. "You think I was stubborn? I was the difficult one?" "L..." Catlin stammered, suddenly struggling to continue. It was obvious Catlin had wanted to say worse things, but right now, she needed Allison and Macro's help.
At the end of the day, this was all still for Olivia. She was willing to swallow everything, as long as it was for Olivia.
Stephanie's tone remained razor-sharp. “Mrs. Hart, when you found me, I spent two months in the hospital. After that, I lived in the Hart residence for less than a month.
"During that time, you and Mr. Hart were barely home, always out at social events. So tell me? How exactly did your determine that I had a bad temper and was difficult to deal with?" Her words were cold and precise, each one cutting through the air like a blade.
Cailin faltered. 'I... For a moment, she was completely speechless. Because she didn't actually kn Stephanie pressed on. "Do you remember the first tyou gavetrouble? Do you remember why?" Catlin frowned, trying to recall.
"It was because Olivia cut her wrist. Do you remember what she said to you?" said Stephanie.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatlin's breath hitched.
Stephanie's voice was unwavering. "She told you, 'It has nothing to do with Stefi. Don't blher. And what did you do next? You immediately lashed out at me." Even after all these years, hearing Stephanie lay out the details so clearly made Catlin's chest tighten.
The details were all correct. But now, hearing them from Stephanie's mouth, Catlin felt something was off and something suffocating Stephanie continued, her tone devoid of any warmth, "Did you seepush her?" Catlin's breathing stilled. She hadn't.
Stephanie's tone was overly sharp, especially now, completely devoid of warmth. "You didn't seepush her. You had no proof that I was responsible for her injury. So why were you so sure?" For the first time, Catlin found herself questioning her own actions.
1/3 Chapter 66 She really hadn't seen Stephanie push Olivia. She had no proof at all. But back then, somehow, she had just believed it was Stephanie's fault.
"How many times, after that, did Olivia tell you. It wasn't Steli's fault; it was mine?" Stephanie asked. “Do you remember how many times?" Catlin's breaths becmore and more erratic.
Stephanie's voice remained steady. "You probably don't even know the exact number. But it doesn't matter. As long as you remember what you did toevery single tafter she said those words." Her last sentence was spoken lightly. Yet, when it fell on Catlin's chest, it was as heavy as a thousand pounds. Sthings, Catlin might not be sure about. But she did remember what she had done to Stephanie.
Every time, it was accusations. Every time, it was the scycle, blaming Stephanie for being unable to tolerate Olivia.
Catlin's voice trembled. “Let's not talk about this right now, okay? Stefi, she's in so much pain. You didn't see her today, she cout of the emergency room vomiting uncontrollably, she couldn't even drink a sip of water." Stephanie was momentarily stunned.
"Let the doctors treat her first. No matter how much I owe you, I'll pay you back in the future, okay? Please?" Every word was laced with Catlin's cautious pleading..
Even at this moment, Olivia's treatment was still the most important thing in Catlin's mind.
Stephanie said, "Mrs. Hart, have you forgotten? You once toldthat my life was something you gave me. So how could I possibly owe you anything?" That was what Catlin had told her before; how firm her stance had been back then. For Olivia's sake, she had used both coercion and persuasion against Stephanie.
"And now that you've realized that cutting off my finances, making sure no company would hire me, still wasn't enough to trap me, and you've resorted to begging" The moment Stephanie's words fell, the phone call plunged into silence.
All that was left was Catlin's increasingly rapid breathing. At the end of the hospital corridor, Catlin felt her blood run cold the second she heard Stephanie's response.
On the other end of the line, Stephanie chuckled when she noticed Catlin's silence. "Compensate me? If Olivia really recovers, won't that just be the moment when you all cafteragain?" She knew these people too well. After all, it wouldn't be the first tin the past two years that they had cfor her over Olivia.
Olivia was truly skilled; no matter how far she was, even in another country, these people would still cause trouble for Stephanie because of her.
Olivia always said, “It has nothing to do with Stefi; it's my fault. But no one ever cared the real reason behind those words.
All that mattered was that every tOlivia said that, these people would assthat Stephanie couldn't tolerate her because of how the Hart family treated her and then, they'd cfor her.
Catlin grew frantic. "No, that won't happen! I really want to apologize to you this time!" "Oh? For Olivia's sake, everything you do is genuine, isn't it?" Stephanie replied coldly. Catlin was stunned. Hearing Stephanie say that, she panicked even more.
2/32 22:07 Mon, 3 Mar Chapter 66 At that moment, she even forgot about all of Stephanie's leading questions earlier.
The only thing she remembered was that Stephanie still wouldn't agree.
Stephanie wouldn't call Allison. She wouldn't allow Macro to treat Olivia.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Then tell me? What do you want? Carlin's voice cracked as her composure unraveled.
Stephanie's tone remained indifferent. "She'll die her death. M die her live my life. What could I possibly do to her?" With that, she hung up. Once again, Catlin had witnessed her mercilessness.
Stephanie was exhausted. Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"Cin "As soon as she spoke, the door swung open, and Sebastian appeared in the doorway.
He had already put on his coat; he was obviously heading out.
"You didn't take a nap?” He frowned as he stepped inside.
Stephanie shook her head. “Nope. You're going out?" * 48%) Sebastian nodded. "I have to step out for a bit, and I should be back in tfor dinner. Be good and get srest."
Hearing that he'd be back for dinner, Stephanie nodded obediently The frustration from Catlin's frantic outburst on the phone instantly dissipated.
'Forget it. Those people don't matter.
Why should I waste my aste my energy being angry over them? With that thought, she felt a liule bener. After giving her a few more reminders, Sebastian left...
At the hospital, it took nearly five minutes for Catlin to recover from her anger.
Just as she was about to return to the hospital room, she ran into Chris. 3/3 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
