Chapter 152 Chapter 152 Chad had no idea how he made it back to the company. At that moment, his face was drained of energy.
Tyler had pulled an all-nighter again last night, and with Amber constantly hounding him, he was now overwhelmed.
When Tyler saw Chad return, he hurried over. "Dad, what happened? Did Stephanie go and explain things to Mr. Giovanni?" 'Damn it, Stephanie actually teamed up with outsiders to go after the Hart Group. That damn girl, Tyler thought to himself.
As he thought about the trouble Stephanie had caused for the Hart Group, Tyler wanted nothing more than to rip her apart.
Chad glanced at Tyler and opened his mouth, about to say something, but at that moment, his frustration was so great that he couldn't even get a word out.
Upon seeing that his emotions were barely being contained, Tyler's forehead veins started to bulge. "Is it really true what Olivia said? That she's willing to sell herself to Mr. Giovanni just to get back at us?" Mentioning this made Tyler even angrier. "If that's the case, then I'll pretend she was never my sister." What a disgrace. To go so far as to sell herself to an outsider just to take down her own family. No matter how powerful Mr. Giovanni is, she's just his plaything. In time, once he gets tired of her, he'll toss her aside.
"When that happens, I'll have plenty of ways to deal with her, Tyler thought, his anger rising.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He could almost imagine tearing Stephanie apart.
Chad, already looking displeased, snapped when he heard Tyler's words. "Did you ever think of her as your sister? At this point, do you think she would care about being your sister anymore? Olivia? What exactly did Olivia tell you?" At that moment, Chad recalled how every tthere was sissue at home, Catlin and Tyler would always bring up that Stephanie had done what Olivia had said.
Whenever it had anything to do with Stephanie, it was always the same.
Suddenly, Chad yelled, and Tyler's breath caught in his chest. He could now clearly hear the anger in his father's voice. "Is Olivia wrong? Dad, you-" 'Is Dad defending Stephanie now? But Stephanie teamed up with outsiders to undermine us?' Tyler wondered. His breath. becquick.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChad's face had turned even darker. "Hmph, Stefi was raised by the Lucano family. She's essentially Mr. Giovanni's adopted sister, just like the relationship between you and Olivia.
"How has it becso unbearable in your mouths? You're slandering her with dirty words. Is this how Olivia has always. manipulated you and your mother?" By the end of his sentence, Chad practically shouted the words. He was completely enraged. His fury filled the whole office.
At that moment, Tyler's brain seemed to explode. Something inside his mind snapped as he realized that Stephanie and Sebastian were siblings.
When Tyler heard this, he couldn't believe it and stared at Chad. "W-what did you say?" Chad responded, "She was raised by the Lucano family. Did you hear me? If I ever hear you speak ill of her again, I'll tear you apart." The company had been overwhelmingly busy recently. Chad had no idea that Catlin and Tyler had been treating Stephanie 1/4 52% Chapter 152 so badly. They had been using filthy language and malicious speculation.
At that moment, Chad remembered Olivia's vulnerable eyes, and his mind suddenly cleared. A chill ran through his eyes and breath.
Tyler, still in disbelief, looked at Chad. "How could that be? Didn't everyone always say she was from a poor area?" Stephanie had even once said that her adoptive parents were terrible, vain, and embarrassing, and she never wanted to mention them in front of others.
But Chad had just told him that Stephanie was from the Lucano family, Fiorenza. Tyler's mind froze.
Chad, breathing heavily, said, "Did she ever say she was from a poor area?" Tyler froze for a moment, his mind processing. He began to recall that Stephanie had never actually mentioned where she had grown up or who her adoptive family was.
He started wondering where that information had even cfrom.
Chad added, "Was it Olivia who said that?" Tyler was momentarily stunned. 'Olivia? That's right, I remember now,' he wondered.
He first learned that Stephanie had been raised by people from a poor area on her first birthday after returning to the Hart family.
It was the first ttheir mother had prepared a dress for Stephanie. The dress was strapless.
When Olivia saw the dress, she said, "Stefi grew up in a poor area for years. If you make her wear this, she'll be embarrassed." Later, it seemed that Olivia wore that dress instead, while Stephanie's dress, chosen from Olivia's wardrobe, was a more conservative one from previous years.
Over the years, Stephanie had never mentioned anything about her adoptive parents or family.
When Chad saw Tyler not speaking, he immediately realized it had to be something related to Olivia, and his expression turned even more livid.
"Now, Mr. Giovanni is furious because Stefi wasn't properly taken care of in Long Harbor these past two years. All the trouble we're having with the company right now is because of Mr. Giovanni's anger," Chad said.
In other words, if Stephanie didn't make a statement, this matter was definitely not going to be easily swept under the rug.
Tyler snapped out of it and his face turned even darker. “So, what should we do? Should we beg her? When she first cback, we treated her well. It's her fault for being ungrateful and constantly causing trouble with Olivia." Two years ago, the battle between Stephanie and Olivia had been intense.
Although they eventually prevented Stephanie from sending Olivia to jail, at that time, Stephanie had nearly beaten Olivia senseless.
Stephanie had been like a wild woman at the time.
Chad snapped, "You're still talking about this? You are drivinginsane. Fine, you're handling this matter now." Chad had nearly frozen to death on Mount Spring today, and seeing Tyler acting this way now only made his anger flare up.
Tyler's face darkened. 'I'm handling it? How am I supposed to handle this? Do you really wantto apologize to Stephanie? Can she even handle that?' he wondered.
2/4 Chapter 152 52 Sebastian brought Stephanie back to Mount Spring, and her temperature seemed stable.
When he laid her on the bed, Sebastian gently stroked her forehead. “How are you feeling? Still in pain?" Stephanie nodded with a hint of grievance, looking up at him. "It hurts so much." That place hurt especially badly. She never expected Sebastian, who was usually a gentle gentleman, to be so wild and reckless in bed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStephanie's voice had bechoarse from screaming, begging for mercy, but he didn't let up. Sebastian chuckled, gently pinching her nose. "Then just stay in bed and lie down quietly, okay?" When he noticed Stephanie's complexion seemed off, he affectionately pinched her cheek. "What are you thinking about?" Stephanie gazed at him with wide eyes. "I'm wondering whether Mom will be angry if she finds out." As soon as she mentioned this, Stephanie felt a deep sense of shame.
When she first woke up in the morning, the one person she was most afraid to face was Sebastian.
Now that she had gotten through Sebastian's scrutiny, the one she feared facing the most was Lottie.
Stephanie couldn't imagine what Lottie's reaction would be if shem found out. Maybe Lottie would be angry and ignore her. Stephanie couldn't help but feel a little scared. Sebastian's smile softened even more. "Are you really so scared?" "You don't look scared at all," Stephanie said, curious as to why he wasn't worried at all.
Sebastian kissed her nose. "If she finds out, you just say it was all my doing. That'll be fine, won't it?” Stephanie froze for a moment, not expecting him to say that.
In the end, she looked at Sebastian with admiration and said, "I admire you." Sebastian rubbed her forehead. "Want to sleep for a bit?" He said, then stood up and covered her with a blanket.
Stephanie curled up under the covers. "Are you going out?" Sebastian replied, "No, but I need to see someone, and he's probably already here." "Oh, then go ahead." Stephanie felt a bit dizzy and weak from the fever, so she just wanted to rest.
After Sebastian left the room, she quickly drifted off to sleep.
Soon, Ella's call cthrough. "Stefi, you won't believe this. It's so exciting. Today, even though Chris tried to use the Ashford family's influence to pressure the hospital, Olivia was still kicked out of the hospital." Stephanie asked, "She was really kicked out?" Ella confirmed, "Of course. There were so many security guards at the hospital, and I saw Catlin tearfully escorting Olivia out of the hospital." Stephanie was stunned for a moment.
Ella added, "Oh my, with her condition, she probably won't last long after being discharged." 3/4 Chapter 152 Stephanie asked, "Why doesn't she go to another hospital? There are so many hospitals in Long Harbor
Ella replied, "Please, think about it.
Clearly, someone is targeting Olivia la this time. Since Chris couldn't even suppress it, do you really think any hospital in Long Harbor would dare take her in? 0 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
