Eastview Tower,
After the meeting, Stephanie stepped out of the conference room, and Jennifer quickly approached. “Boss, big
news?
“What big news?”
“Someone’s trying to push you to the edge.”
Stephanie raised an eyebrow and glanced at Jennifer.
Jennifer continued, “The Hart family is spreading the word to all major companies that they shouldn't hire you,
and we've heard the sthing.”
Stephanie was silent.
A cold gleam flashed in her eyes, her gaze narrowing as a slow smile curled at the corner of her lips.
“Heh, alright.”
“Are we going to fight back?”
Jennifer knows Stephanie's place in the Hart family and thought they were really going too far.
Treating their own daughter like this, and it was clear it was all because of their adopted daughter.
To treat their biological daughter so harshly for the sake of an adopted one-what kind of family was this?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was utterly despicable!
Stephanie replied, “Fight back? No need.”
Someone would deal with them.
After all, Olivia Hart was already terminally ill, and she didn’t want to bother with them anymore.
If no one took action, it might actually be better to leave things as they were.
But, of course...
The Hart family clearly thought their good days were too easy. If they felt like they were too comfortable now...
Then, she'd have to...
A cold, mocking glint passed through Stephanie’s eyes as she walked toward her office.
Suddenly.

Stephanie turned toward the voice.

He even growled at Lilian behind him, “Hurry up”
Stephanie frowned as she watched them approach.
Before she could process her thoughts, Jackson and Lilian reached her.
“Stefi, it’s been hard to find you. Can we talk?”

There were people all around.
Jackson lowered his voice. “Can we go somewhere quieter?”
Since Jackson had personally chere, Stephanie naturally wouldn't be impolite and refuse.
She nodded. “Follow me.”
Turning, she led them directly to her office.
Once inside, she casually gestured toward the couch. “Take a seat.”
Then, she sat behind her desk and turned to Jennifer, who had followed them in. “Two cups of...
At that moment, Stephanie turned her gaze to Lilian. “You're picky, aren't you? Probably won't like the coffee

Lilian stood frozen, stunned.
Seeing Stephanie sitting behind that desk, she couldn’t help but think of the times she'd visited Jackson at the
company.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhy was Stephanie sitting in that position?
Was this...?
Noticing that Lilian was silent, Stephanie looked to Jennifer. “Just one cup of coffee, please.”
“Okay, boss.”
Jennifer nodded and went to fetch the coffee.
Jackson had already sat down, but Lilian was still standing there, too stunned to react.
Stephanie took a sip from her water cup and asked, “Mr. Hodge, what brings you here?”
Jackson paused for a moment.
Unlike Lilian, he had seen his fair share of situations over the years at the Hodge Group.
