Her expression turned ice-cold. “What do you mean? We agreed when we made the deal. | gave you 1.5 million
dollars, and you were supposed to leave the country and never cback.”
Olivia's voice was low, but the anger beneath it was barely contained.
“I'm back.” he said.
“W-what?“Olivia’s voice rose uncontrollably.
‘He’s back? And he’s contacting me? Even an idiot could see where this is going, she wondered.
Her already pale face drained of what little color remained. “What do you want?”
“My mother just passed away. My daughter is seriously ill. The cost of living overseas is too high; we couldn't
afford it anymore,” he said.
So that was his excuse for returning.
And now, with his daughter's illness, he was desperate for money.
Olivia's vision blurred with rage. “That's not my problem! | already paid you what you asked for. Our business
was nothing but a transaction.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes, it was a transaction,” he admitted. “But Miss Hart, I'm out of options. So tell m? Should | be asking you for
money or should | go to Miss Giovanni?”
A chill ran down Olivia's spine. If he went to Stephanie for money, that meant handing over evidence of the car
accident.
And once that happened, Olivia's true colors would be laid bare before the Hart family and Chris.
“You're blackmailing me?” she hissed through clenched teeth. Not only was he blackmailing her, but he had
clearly planned this in advance. He knew exactly what mattered to her, the Hart family. And he knew exactly
who she didn’t get along with, Stephanie.
“I have nowhere else to turn,” he said. “Otherwise, | wouldn't resort to this.”
“You were the one who named the price, 1.5 million dollars! | didn’t even negotiate!” Olivia snapped.
The fury bubbling inside her finally erupted. But the man on the other end of the line remained unfazed. “I don’t
have a choice. I'm truly desperate.”
Olivia closed her eyes. ‘And what the hell am | supposed to do?‘ she wondered.
The past two years abroad had drained her finances. Most of the savings she had from her twith the Hart
family were already gone.
Now, with the Hart family covering her medical bills, she didn’t have to spend much and they weren't giving her
extra money either.
“You have no options, so you're coming to me? What do you expectto do? | don’t owe you anything!” Olivia
growled.
She was almost certain now that she had been blackmailed by this person.
Sebastian’s tone remained calm and firm. “I need 300 thousand dollars.”
Olivia's head spun. “Where the hell am | supposed to find 300 thousand dollars?”

Her rage was boiling over. At this moment, she wanted nothing more than to tear him apart.

“Miss Hart, | know exactly what your status is in the Hart family. You've been treated better than their real
daughter all these years,” he said.
Olivia froze. A deep darkness settled in her eyes as she gripped the phone so tightly her knuckles turned pale.
You're shakingdown?” said Olivia.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I really do need the money, Miss Hart. No need to make it sound so bad,” he replied smoothly.
Olivia shut her eyes, barely containing the violent storm of emotions inside her.
By now, Chris and Catlin had reached the hospital room door.
Suddenly, Catlin remembered something. “Hey, Olivia mentioned earlier that she wanted soup from Lobster
House, Chris, you go in first; I'll have someone pick it up for her.”
“Alright.” Chris nodded.
As he turned the doorknob and pushed the door open slightly, Olivia's furious voice erupted from inside. “Fine!
Then you'll be rotting in prison too!”
Chris’ face instantly darkened. Without hesitation, he shoved the door open and stepped inside.
