Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 127 93% Everyone could see how much of a place Olivia held in Chris's heart, so how could he have hung up on her? Catlin had a bad feeling in her gut.

Olivia nodded. "Yeah, Chris said he was busy and just hung up. He said it was about business." The way she said 'business' made it sound like Chris was trying to cover something up.

Catlin's face turned even darker, convinced something was off.

Just as she was about to call Stephanie and tell her to stay away from Chris, she realized her calls weren't getting through.

Since things went south, Stephanie had completely shut her out, blocking every form of communication. Catlin was seething.

She was about to find another phone to try again when Tyler's call cin.

As soon as she answered, Chad started in on her.

"You know, they say a woman can ruin three generations with a bad marriage. I never believed it before, but now I see it clearly. Is this really how you act as a mother?" "Is this how you treat your daughter? I've told you tand tagain, we owe Stefi so much. You need to be kind to her, stop fighting with her. But you wouldn't listen and even signed that agreement to cut ties with her." "Now look, the whole company's going down because of you!" Catlin's chest tightened.

"What do you mean, the company's going down because of me?” "The people who've been causing trouble for our company are the sones who helped Stefi make over two million dollars last year." " It was all finally clear.

What was once a guess was now confirmed.

Catlin was speechless.

The room fell silent.

The conversation wasn't quiet, and Olivia heard it all.

When Catlin heard Chad's frantic accusations, blaming her for the trouble with Stephanie, she wasn't happy.

Chad rarely visited her in the hospital, and she always felt he favored Stephanie the most in their family.

Now, hearing that the company's current troubles were linked to the very company that helped Stephanie's stumake money, Olivia realized how serious the situation had become.

It seemed like the Hart family was in deep trouble-and Stephanie was somehow involved.

'What should they do now?' 1/5 07:04 Tue, 11 Chapter 127 Would they beg Stephanie for help?" Let her to return to the Hart family again?' 'No, that was out of the question.' The thought of Stephanie still being in Long Harbor, constantly asking her for money, made Olivia uneasy.

If Stephanie returned to the Hart family, it was almost certain her own secrets would be exposed. She couldn't let that happen.

Amidst the thoughts.

In the midst of these thoughts, Chad's voice cut through. "I don't care what you do, but you need to find Stephanie and make things right with her!" Catlin's breath caught.

She knew how big the company's problems were, especially with Tyler not even showing up at the hospital. She had tried calling him.

But now, hearing that all the trouble was connected to Stephanie, she was both furious and anxious.

Chad's voice was sharper now. "Did you hear me?" Catlin didn't respond right away, and Chad's anger flared.

Taking a deep breath, Catlin finally spoke, her voice tight with frustration, "Are you sure all of this trouble is because of Stephanie?" The words left her teeth clenched in anger.

Chad fired back, "What, you want to blher now? Lettell you something, Catlin, if you can't even see the basics, the Hart family will fall apart under your hands." At his words, Catlin's heart dropped.

Chad's voice was stern and angry. "If you don't want the company to collapse, or lose your position as Mrs. Hart, you need to learn how to be a mother." "I'm not joking about the company going bankrupt." The company was in chaos, and Chad had been frantically searching for the problem.

Meanwhile, things were also falling apart at hwith the constant turmoil between mother and daughter.

The more Chad thought about it, the angrier he became.

In the end, Catlin didn't even remember how she ended the call.

She barely caught the rest of Chad's words, but the key points stuck with her.

The company's problems were linked to Stephanie, and Chad insisted she go smooth things over with Stephanie. 'Smooth things over?' 2/5 Tue, 11 Mar Chapter 127 Is it really that simple?' Every tshe met with Stephanie, it was like a battle.

4393% The tension between them was so bad that it was clear that any attempt to approach Stephanie now would only lead to more confrontation.

She didn't want to go.

Instead, she called Tyler. "Is the situation at the company really as bad as your father says?" Tyler sighed heavily, his voice full of exhaustion.

Hearing her son so drained, Catlin felt a tightness in her chest. "How come?" "It's really bad. If that company doesn't back down, we could face even bigger problems.” "That company? The one that made Stephanie's stumoney?" "Yes." Catlin fell silent.

'Could it be?' 'Was Stephanie really that powerful?' 'How did she not know about this?' "Could it just be your guess? Maybe it has nothing to do with Stephanie?" The truth was, she didn't want to go groveling to Stephanie.

If that company really had ties to Stephanie, then Catlin had no choice but to follow Chad's instructions.

But just thinking about Stephanie's attitude toward her made Catlin more than reluctant to approach her. Chad's voice was low and angry. "She's the one causing all this." The bitterness in his tone made it clear how much he resented Stephanie.

Catlin's heart skipped a beat. "Is it really her?" "Yes, that opportunist." The more Tyler thought about it, the angrier he became.

Catlin, already in a bad mood, felt her heart sink even further when she heard him speak like this.

After hanging up, she returned to the hospital room and found Olivia lying on the bed, pale and weak.

Her hair had thinned considerably, and she hadn't dared to look in the mirror in days.

Meanwhile, the specialists had cand gone, all giving the sanswer-she needed Dr. Pierce and Dr. Vitale. Every chemotherapy session was a torturous ordeal for Olivia.

"Olivia, I'm stepping out for a bit.” 93% Chapter 127 Catlin's heart ached as she spoke. She wanted nothing more than to stay by her daughter's side, but Stephanie was causing trouble again.

Every tCatlin thought about Stephanie, her frustration grew.

Olivia asked, "Mom, are you going to see Stefi?” "Yes, be good, I'll be back soon." "Okay." Olivia, though quiet and obedient in front of her mother, was seething with hatred for Stephanie inside.

'Why couldn't they just get rid of her? Why couldn't they send her packing out of the city?' ***** As soon as Catlin left the room, Olivia received another call-the sman, demanding money from her. "Money, money, money! What do you think I have? I'm barely holding onto my life!" she snapped, furious. She was already struggling to focus on her recovery because of Stephanie, and now this? Were they trying to drive her to her breaking point? No, she wouldn't die! If they wanted her to, she would refuse.

She wasn't going to give them the satisfaction.

Meanwhile, in Mount Spring, Elliot and Jackson had just just finalized the contract though there were two issues that needed fixing. They immediately had someone make the changes on the spot.

Jackson, ever generous, immediately ordered the changes as soon as he heard about the issues.

While they were waiting for the revisions, a server approached and Ekotrgached whispered in Elliot's ear, "Mr. Grant, Mr. Fred Ashford has arrived." Elliot furrowed his brow and glanced at the server.

"Tell him to wait." 'Fred actually showed up. Was he really that worried about his son, Chris?" It made sense, though. With everything Chris had been up to lately, there was no shortage of trouble.

And his injuries? Any elder would be furious upon seeing him.

Elliot glanced at Jackson. "Please wait a moment, Mr. Hodge. I need to speak with Mr. Giovanni." "Sure," Jackson nodded, unconcerned.

The deal was already done, and there was no risk of it falling apart now.

The server's soft voice was barely audible, but Jackson caught it Fred had arrived He wasn't worried in the slightest. If it was Fred, or even the old man from the Ashford family, it wouldn't make a difference now.

When Elliot found Sebastian, he and Stephanie had just finished in the hot spring.

Sebastian was drying Stephanie's skin with a towel, quickly wrapping her in a thick robe.

Elliot approached. "Sir, Fred is here." Sebastian raised an eyebrow and glanced at him.

Stephanie was also a little surprised. Fred coming in person showed just how disappointed he was in his son.

With Fred here, Chris must be nearby.

If they saw Sebastian, it would be interesting to see the look on Chris's face! mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
