Sebastian went to take a shower while Stephanie turned over and drifted into a light sleep again.
Half-awake, Stephanie was finally pulled back to consciousness by the vibrating phone. She groggily grabbed it
and answered, “Hello?”
Stephanie was exhausted. Ever since she got pregnant, her routine had becincredibly regular. When it was
tto sleep, she couldn't stay up late even if she tried.

“Stefi, | know | was wrong. Please, letgo, I'm begging you. I'm almost dead.” Olivia's panicked voice came
over the phone, pleading for mercy.

Stephanie's drowsiness vanished instantly. As soon as her eyes opened, she was completely alert. “How did you
get my number?”
Stephanie thought, ‘Not to mention blocking her number, | had even changed it completely. I'm using a Fiorenza
number now, yet Olivia still finds my phone number. It seems Olivia isn’t as simple as she appears!
Olivia replied, “I-I..."”
“Don’t you explain it?” Stephanie coldly uttered the words, her tone full of danger.
Olivia said, “I-1 asked Kevin to help me.”
Stephanie thought, ‘Kevin, someone close to Chris. Having worked at the Ashford Group for so long and as the
CEO's assistant, he had the skills to trace a number. But he helped Olivia.”
In Stephanie’s view, Kevin wasn’t very fond of Olivia. Stephanie wasn’t sure if Chris knew, but once she saw
Kevin glaring at Olivia with pure dislike.
Stephanie thought, ‘Kevin dislikes Olivia that much, yet he still helped her find my number? What's Kevin up to?"
Stephanie let out a cold laugh. “You're quite shrewd, don’t you? Why not just use those connections around the
Ashford family to marry right in? That would solve everything, wouldn't it?” Her tone was full of sarcasm.
Olivia was good at managing social situations, even if the elders of the Ashford family didn’t like her. However,
Stephanie believed that Olivia had bribed those trusted by the Ashford family elders.
Stephanie thought, “Thinking about how Olivia returned to Long Harbor with such arrogance, | thought her
backbone would be as strong as her arrogance. But really, this is all?*
On the other end of the call, Olivia was sitting under a big tree outside Ashford’s residence, feeling cold, tired,
and utterly miserable.
Even though Stephanie's words were cutting, Olivia was burning with anger but didn’t dare show it. “Stefi, | know
| was wrong. Can you forgive me, please?

“I was wrong before. Can you call Mrs. Ashford and ask her not to treatlike this? I'm begging you.” At this
moment, Olivia felt that only Stephanie could help her. She really couldn't go back to the Hart residence now.
Olivia thought, ‘Catlin has been locked inside and hasn’t cout yet. Tyler's attitude towardshas changed
drastically.
‘Even my aunt, who was supposed to helpin times like this, turned out to be so ungrateful. Only Chris. At this
moment, Olivia felt that Chris was her only hope.
Stephanie said, “Letcall Mrs. Ashford. Are you crazy? Do you think that’s possible?”

Stephanie thought, ‘Olivia was supposed to get married in the Ashford family, recognized by everyone. Let me
plead with the Ashford elders for her. Olivia is full of fanciful ideas.
Olivia said, “I was wrong. | shouldn't have treated you like that. It’s all my fault. I'm sorry.” Faced with
Stephanie's indifference, Olivia kept pleading. She was scared.
