Elliot’s Expression was grim
Even though he had read the reports and knew the details, witnessing it firsthand was something else entirely.
How could they be to ruthless to their own family? he thougw.
Stephanie stopped in front of Catlin, tilting her head dignity, “So, you were discussing kidnapping me? For Olivia?
Catlin’s nerves were stretched to their breaking point. Of all times, she hadn't expected that Stephanie had to
overhear this.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to speak, “J-Just ask Allison and Macro to help
“And if | refuse?” Stephanie asked, her voice light but sharp, “What then? Are you planning to kill me?
She had heard everything just now. They were willing to go so far for Olivia that they had even considered

Catlin opened her mouth but found herself utterly speechless in the face of Stephanie's calm but oppressive
presence.
Tyler, seeing Catlin being completely overpowered by Stephanie's demeanor, lost his patience.
He stepped forward and shoved Stephanie hard. “Enough! Is this how you talk to your elders?”
The moment Stephanie staggered, Elliot caught her effortlessly, then immediately lashed out, his foot slamming
into Tyler's abdomen.
A sharp, searing pain shot through Tyler's body. He clutched his stomach, his face drained of color. “How dare
you?” he hissed through gritted teeth.
Catlin hurriedly stepped in to support Tyler, her face pale with shock and rage. “What do you think you're
doing?”
Chris, meanwhile, locked his gaze onto Elliot. Another man? Who the hell is this now? he thought, his expression
darkening.
Chris could feel the sheer intensity radiating from Elliot. His eyes narrowed dangerously. “Stephanie, chere,”
he ordered coldly.
At that moment, irritation clawed at his insides.
‘Why are there always men around her? In just a few days, she has been surrounded by three different men, he
wondered.
Elliot glanced at Chris before turning to Stephanie. “Shall I handle this?”
Chris froze. Handle this? What the hell does he mean? He just attacked Tyler; now he wants to fighttoo?‘ he
thought.
A surge of anger exploded within Chris, his fury reaching a boiling point. “Stephanie, | said chere!” he
demanded, his teeth clenched so tightly they nearly ground together.

The air around them grew suffocating, the tension so thick it was almost tangible.
Stephanie met Chris‘ gaze, taking in his slightly gloomy expression and the faint bruises on his arm.
After a pause, she said, “Forget it. He's already been beaten up enough these past few days.”
Chris’ mind buzzed. Humiliation burned through him like wildfire.
Elliot gave a small nod and said to Stephanic, “Then let's go see Mrs. Blackwood.”
“Alright,” Stephanie responded, striding past Tyler and Catlin without a second glance.
Chris watched her with narrowed eyes. Her arrogance made his chest tighten painfully.

“Stephanie, stop right there!” she snapped. Catlin had finally reached her breaking point. Seeing Tyler still curled
up in pain on the ground was the last straw.
For the past two years, nothing had gone right when it cto Stephanie. And now, watching her son get
beaten like this, she couldn't take it anymore.
Stephanie halted in her tracks and turned back. “What now?”
“If you get Allison and Macro to return, I'll agree to any conditions you want,” Catlin said, desperation clear in her
voice.
