Chapter 287

Stephanie hadn’t spared him a single glance since she’d entered. This woman, who had been his fiancée for two years… Chris suddenly felt that Stephanie wasn’t what the rumors made her out to be. At least not emotionally, not like the rumors.

Tyler was anxious when he heard Chris say he would pay. “Chris!” With Stephanie’s current expression, Tyler didn’t want to give her a single cent. She didn’t deserve it.

Chris ignored Tyler Hart and met Stephanie’s eyes. “If I pay, can you let her go abroad?” From last night until now, they had tried everything they could to get Olivia to leave Long Harbor. It was clear what kind of strict orders Mr. Giovanni gave to the Giovanni family, the Hart family, and Olivia this time. Right now, Stephanie does have some standing in the Giovanni family. Chris didn’t want to make a scene with her at that time. After all, she had time to make a scene, but Olivia didn’t.

Stephanie said, “Give me the money first.”

Chris said, “No.”

Given the last time he fell for her tricks, this woman was used to playing them. Chris knew all about it. That day, she used her own card to buy things for everyone in her studio. Those cosmetics cost over 300 thousand dollars a set, and everyone got one. It really wasn’t her own money; she didn’t feel bad about it at all.

Stephanie said, “Oh, fine, don’t give it to me then.” Anyway, she didn’t like her. I was just kidding.

Tyler said, “Tell me the conditions for letting Olivia go abroad.” At this moment, Tyler was in no mood to talk nonsense with her and just wanted to get Olivia Hart’s matter settled quickly.

Stephanie said, “You weren’t even willing to give 300 thousand dollars. You still want me to say the conditions? I’m afraid I’ll scare you to death.”

Tyler was speechless. Chris was speechless. This woman!

Tyler was boiling with anger and said, “You, you are going too far, Stephanie, let me tell you, Olivia must go abroad.”

“Oh, I can’t make the decision on this matter.”

Tyler said, “You…”

Stephanie said, “About this, you’ll have to ask my brother.”

The word “brother” struck a nerve with Tyler. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that the “brother” she was referring to was Sebastian, not him. For some reason, he felt a sudden pang of dejection.

Stephanie stepped forward, reaching out to adjust Tyler’s tie, and said nonchalantly, “If Amber found out that you’ve been ignoring her and your son all this time while chasing after Olivia, do you think she would take their child to jump off the Hart Group building?”

Tyler’s breath hitched at her words. He grabbed her wrist. “What do you know?” He had been keeping the mother and son a secret.

Stephanie smiled pleasantly. “You’re quite daring, stringing Lilian along while having a child that’s already two years old.”

Tyler’s breath hitched again. He subconsciously glanced back at Chris. The security room wasn’t big, and Stephanie’s voice wasn’t exactly low. Chris had heard it all, his eyes wide with shock.

Tyler’s breathing was unsteady. “You investigated me?”

Stephanie continued, “Amber doesn’t know, does she? You really treasure that sister of yours who’s not even related by blood. To this extent, you even favor her over the son she gave birth to. Do you think that as a mother, she would be okay with this?”

Stephanie’s investigation had given her a clear picture of Amber’s temperament. If she were to find out, wouldn’t all hell break loose?

Tyler felt like he was suffocating. He could never let the outside world know that he had been entangled with a nightclub hostess and become her lover. And that she had even borne him a son.

Stephanie pulled her wrist out and rubbed it. It was red. After giving Tyler a fright, not wanting to continue paying attention to him, she turned around and left.

“If you dare let Amber know, I will skin you alive,” Tyler said fiercely. These words happened to be heard by Sebastian, who appeared at the door of the security room. His eyes swept over Tyler without a trace of warmth. “How are you going to skin her?”

At the same time, Stephanie had already arrived in front of Sebastian. Sebastian pulled her over and looked at her wrist. The place where Tyler Hart had just grasped it was red. Sebastian’s eyes, which were already devoid of warmth… He was extremely dangerous as he looked at Tyler. “Did you do this?”

Tyler, who was in a fit of anger, swallowed unconsciously when he met Sebastian’s dangerous gaze. The whole person instantly wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.
