Chapter 374

At the Hart residence, tensions were at a boiling point. Catlin had asked Amber to return the necklace to Olivia, but Amber had erupted into a fit of rage, nearly wrecking the entire house. Olivia kept pleading, “I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault.”

Amber scoffed, “What did you do wrong?”

“I was wrong to accuse you,” Olivia stammered, tears streaming down her face. “I’m the one who lied. It’s all on me.”

Catlin, however, wasn’t buying it. She looked at Olivia with a mix of sympathy and suspicion, thinking she was just trying to avoid more conflict. “Amber, you’ve really gone too far.”

“Pushing what?” Amber retorted, her voice rising. “She admitted she lied about me. Haven’t you heard that? Is this how you did Stephanie? Am I right?”

“You—” Catlin managed to say, but Amber wasn’t finished.

“Exactly,” Amber said, her voice cold. “You always believe Olivia over anyone. Even when she’s clearly lying.”

Catlin’s breath came in short gasps as she stared at Amber, speechless. She couldn’t find the words to respond. “Just get out,” she finally said, her voice shaking with fury.

Amber chuckled, a cold, humorless sound. “Leave? That’s up to the one in charge. Let Chad come back and tell me to go. And then I leave with my baby right away.”

Catlin and Olivia were both left speechless. Mentioning Chad was like twisting a knife in Catlin’s heart. The company was gone, and Chad had taken off with the remaining money. He hadn’t been home lately, and Catlin had no idea where he and his lover were.

Amber turned her attention back to Olivia. “Since you admitted you were wrong and lied about me, why don’t you tell us exactly where that necklace is?”

Olivia’s eyes widened in panic.

“Still trying to mess with Olivia?” Catlin’s voice was sharp and threatening as she tried to step in.

Amber’s anger flared again, and she stepped forward, slapping Olivia twice. “Are you going to tell me or not?”

Olivia was powerless to resist or escape, and all she could do was scream in pain. Catlin was furious and tried to intervene, but given her age, she was no match for Amber’s strength. Amber slapped Olivia a few more times. “You enjoy stirring up trouble, don’t you? Tell me where that necklace is, or I’ll make you regret it.”

Amid the chaos of being hit and scratched, Olivia was already battered and bruised. Her stomach ached fiercely, and she couldn’t bear it any longer. “Under the sink, in the cabinet, inside the box with the towels,” she finally choked out.

Amber was speechless. When Catlin heard that, she immediately stopped pulling on Amber and stared intensely at Olivia.

Amber paused, a cold laugh escaping her lips. She turned and went to the bathroom, pulling out the towel basket and dumping its contents on the floor. With a thud, the necklace fell out, landing on the floor.

Olivia and Catlin were both stunned into silence.

Chapter 374

Amber bent down and picked up the necklace, dangling it in front of Catlin’s face. “Mrs. Hart, this is exactly where she said it was. You’re not going to try and claim that I planted it here and forced her to say that, are you?”

Catlin stared at Olivia, her breathing heavy. She tried to speak but couldn’t find the words; Olivia had given the location herself.
