After the third boule of liquor was finished, Bruce reached out and took the bottle from Chris. “Now you're
confusing us. You've always had a thing for Olivia, so why are you upset now that Stephanie has a boyfriend?”

Recently, Stephanie had been seen spending twith Sebastian. As Chris's friends, they knew this too. They
likely thought Chris got engaged to Stephanie just as a temporary fix, with no real feelings involved.
Now that the engagement was off, they were not involved with each other anymore. They were confused about
Chris's behavior.
Zachary gave Chris a look and asked, “Isn't Olivia still in Long Harbor? Who are you putting on a show for now?”
Bruce agreed, “Yeah, exactly! When Zachary said this, Bruce instinctively glanced over at Chris.
While they were overseas, they only heard about Stephanie being seen with a guy, but nothing about Olivia

The rumor had it that Olivia was battling several types of cancer. They deemed Chris should be with her right
now, instead of out drinking.
Just mentioning Olivia seemed to darken Chris's mood even more. He reached out, ready to grab the drink from
Bruce's
hand.
Bruce dodged. “Con, stop drinking. What's really happening? Tell us about it.”
Chris didn’t say anything and opened another bottle, taking a big gulp and finishing half of it in one go.
Bruce and Zachary exchanged a glance, knowing that something must be really serious.
Bruce put down the bottle and sat next to Chris. “You aren't falling for Stephanie, are you? That vicious woman?”
Olivia was back. Yet, at this time, Chris wasn’t by her side, which could seemed unlikely, as he always said

only mean Chris fell in love with Stephanie. This
When Bruce mentioned “wicked”, Chris's grip on the bottle paused. He sharply said three words, “She is not.”
Bruce asked, “What?”
Zachary looked at Chris too, a bit puzzled.
Chris took another sip. The unclear pain he once felt was now more obvious in his eyes. “The wicked one has
never been
her.”
Bruce and Zachary was puzzled. “Who, then?” Bruce asked first.
The Hart family had been turned upside down, and all people in Long Harbor thought Stephanie was vicious and
selfish because she disrupted the family, unable to accept Olivia. Now Chris said the wicked one wasn't
Stephanie. They guessed maybe it could be Olivia.
Thinking of Olivia, Bruce and Zachary exchanged a glance. Zachary asked, “What's the deal between you and
Olivia?”
“Olivia, huh...” Mentioning Olivia again, a sharp look passed through Chris’s eyes, a look he never had when
talking about her before. Chris lowered his head. “She almost cost Stephanie her life.”

Zachary and Bruce shared a glance and the room suddenly went silent. Then they both turned to look at Chris.
“So, Olivia really caused that car accident? Stephanie wasn’t wrong to accuse her?” Bruce was completely
shocked.

The rumor had it that Stephanie targeted at Olivia while the truth was Olivia aimed at Stephante “What is really
Bruce was totally baffled. If that was the case, Olivia was truly malicious.
Chris closed his eyes, giving off an air of sadness. He remembered that twhen both the Hart family and he
lamel called Stephanie a madwoman. They accused her of being selfish.
The Hart family even said that if she couldn't stand Olivia, she wouldn't get a dfrom them. Thinking back
now, there words seemed so ridiculous. Stephanie had very reason to hate Olivia.
Bruce asked, “What's happening with you now?” Suddenly, everything was mixed up and confusing,
Chris closed his eyes for a moment. “What do you think it is? Stephanie doesn’t wantanymore, Olivia made
mishes, but she’s on her way out.”
Bruce and Zachary were speechless. This was really complicated. When Chris spoke about Stephanie, there was
a clear gas in his voice.
