Chapter 464

Meanwhile, in Long Harbor, the Hart family underwent a dramatic upheaval following Catlin’s arrest. It seemed as if the entire family had collapsed overnight. Throughout the day, they remained in a state of great unease. Close to midnight, Olivia arrived at the Ashford family residence, seeking Chris. At this moment, he was the only person she could think of; no one else could help the Hart family.

The Hart family was completely ruined. If Catlin was truly imprisoned this time, Olivia didn’t know what to do. Time was running out. If she couldn’t get the money and buy the medicine soon, she would die. Olivia was utterly panicked.

After being informed by someone outside the door, Olivia was told, “Ms. Hart, please leave. Mr. Ashford will not see you.” “No, I have to see him. Tell him that I won’t leave until I see him,” Olivia said firmly. She sat in her wheelchair, wrapped up tightly, but Long Harbor had been extremely cold these past few days. She was freezing.

Hearing that Chris would not see her, Olivia unconsciously gripped the wheelchair’s armrests more tightly. “Please, help me convey this to him,” she said to the impatient security guard, her tone slightly softened. This was her current situation. Back when the Hart family was doing well and she was Chris’s girlfriend, no one would dare treat her like this. Back then, everyone was respectful. Now, even a mere security guard dared to be insolent.

Faced with such humiliation and disdain, Olivia was even more unwilling to accept it and was desperate to recover. Only by getting better could she have a chance to put these people back in their place and show them what would happen to those who had humiliated the wrong person.

Grace emerged and saw Olivia sitting in her wheelchair with a gloomy expression. The moment their eyes met, Olivia quickly composed her face. But it was too late—Grace had already seen everything. With a mocking smile, Grace snorted, “You really put a lot of effort into wearing that mask.”

Olivia’s breath caught. She bit her thin lips, lowered her head, and tried to politely say, “Mrs. Ashford.” Grace snorted again. “Here to see Chris?” “Yes,” Olivia said. “You can leave. He won’t see you again,” said Grace.

The only thing that had brought Grace some comfort these past few days was probably the fact that Chris had cut ties with Olivia. Olivia was now sitting in a wheelchair, looking sickly. If Chris insisted on marrying her, Grace would have been furious. “Mrs. Ashford, I…” Olivia still had something to say.

“Olivia, a woman should have her own dignity. I don’t want to humiliate you today, so don’t push me,” Grace said. Olivia was taken aback. Hearing Grace’s suddenly sharp tone, she felt even more suffocated. She knew that not long ago, because Chris had always gone to see her, Grace had made a big fuss. Now that Chris had finally stopped paying attention to her, if she still clung on, Grace would definitely not be polite. But she really had no other choice now.

“Mrs. Ashford, just let me see Chris once. I promise I won’t cling to him. Please,” Olivia said in a humble tone. The more high-and-mighty she had once been, the more humiliated she was now. She was truly scared. Her father, mother, and brother, who had once stood behind her, had all distanced themselves from her because of Stephanie. She really had no other way out.

“Since you refuse to take the polite way, don’t blame me for being rude,” Grace said coldly, her tone harsh.
