Chapter 399

What kind of foster mother would go to such lengths for a foster daughter? Not related by blood, yet Catlin was willing to give everything to Olivia. Catlin stepped forward, ready to lash out at Amber. “You need to shut up, you terrible woman. Today, I’ll—”

“Come on then. Let’s all jump together,” Amber interrupted.

“Enough!” Tyler shouted, unable to take it anymore.

The heated argument between Catlin and Amber came to a sudden halt. Catlin glared at Amber with rage, but Amber didn’t care. She just sat on the windowsill, knowing she wouldn’t get the answer she wanted.

Tyler glared at her in frustration. “Get down from there.”

“Transfer all the money to my account,” Amber demanded. “Only our son should have access to your money. Who does Olivia think she is, anyway?”

Catlin tried to speak, but Amber cut her off. “I don’t mind if you want to give it your all for Olivia. But if you think you can go after Tyler, just see if I let that happen.”

“Are you really trying to tear our family apart? Was it Stephanie who sent you? How much did she pay you?” Catlin snapped. She was completely furious. Just thinking about how Stephanie had recently turned the Hart family upside down made her sure Amber was working for Stephanie. She believed Stephanie wouldn’t let the Hart family know a moment of peace. Amber chuckled sarcastically. “Having a mom like you is just bad luck for her. No wonder she wants everyone to know she’s cut ties with you. No child would want a mom like you.”

“That’s enough, Amber,” Tyler shot back. Just hearing about Stephanie cutting ties with the Hart family gave him a headache. Initially, he thought Stephanie was just throwing a tantrum to get attention because everyone was rallying around Olivia. But as the drama unfolded, it became clear that the biggest joke was the Hart family itself.

Amber declared, “Enough? I’m telling you right now—your money is only for our son. No one else can touch a penny of it, unless our son and I are out of the picture.”

“Fine, take it all. Are you satisfied now?” Tyler, overwhelmed by the noise, finally succumbed to Amber’s demands.

“Tyler,” Catlin called out, her tone clearly urgent.

Seeing Catlin try to intervene, Amber quickly jumped down from the windowsill with her son, rushed over, and shoved Catlin out of the room before locking the door behind her.

Caught off guard, Catlin was pushed outside. As she came to her senses and tried to get back in, she found the door locked. “Amber, open the door. Let me in,” she shouted.

Inside, Amber turned to Tyler and said, “You’re serious about this, right?”

Tyler asked, “Did you get into my bed back then just for the money?”

Instantly, the air felt heavy. Amber swallowed hard, looked at Tyler, and replied, “You have money, and you’re attractive. But let me be clear—whether it’s you or anyone else, I won’t accept the idea of raising a sibling like that.”

She spoke directly, her tone firm. “If we didn’t have a child, it would be a different story—but we do. Your parents are fine, but I really don’t want someone unrelated to be claiming my son’s benefits. What do you think?”

Chapter 0

In simple terms, she had once been drawn to him, but given the current situation, it was all about the money. After all, she had a child to support. In the Hart family, she couldn’t expect to find love at all.

Meanwhile, in the Shallow Bay Area, Stephanie felt drowsy as her phone buzzed repeatedly with incoming messages. The sound of running water came from the bathroom: Sebastian was taking a shower.

Stephanie picked up her phone and saw that Ella had sent several voice messages and a video. She opened the video and noticed a woman sitting by the window. Upon closer inspection, she recognized the villa as the Hart residence. And that figure—it was Amber.

“What’s happening now?” Stephanie gasped. She opened Ella’s voice message: “Stefi, the Hart family is in chaos right now. I don’t know what Amber is up to, it looks like she’s holding a baby.”

As Ella spoke, Stephanie zoomed in on the video. Sure enough, she saw tiny baby feet peeking out near Amber’s waist.

“The room belongs to Tyler. Is Amber causing trouble with Tyler? Wait a second, wasn’t Ella just crying on the phone to me? And now she has the energy to watch this drama unfold?” Stephanie thought.

Just as she was about to call Ella, the bathroom door opened. Sebastian stepped out, wrapped in a towel. Instantly, her cheeks turned red, and she quickly put down the phone and dove under the covers.

Sebastian chuckled softly at her reaction. “What are you hiding for?”

“You jerk, I’m never talking to you again!” Stephanie shot back.
