Chapter 150
Back at that auction, Catlin had been there herself-with Olivia right by her side.
She still remembered the way Olivia's eyes lit up the second they saw that yellow diamond on display.
But something like that, with a price tag over 30 million dollars? That wasn’t something the Harts could snap up
just because they wanted to.
And now, the person who did win the bid turned it into a necklace, and it was sitting around Stephanie’s neck?
What the hell kind of relationship did Stephanie have with the buyer?
Stephanie’s voice broke her thoughts. “Sicily Sunrise.”
Catlin’s breath caught.
‘It really was that diamond.’
Her heart skipped before she forced herself to stay calm. “Who gave it to you? What's
Stephanie's smile turned razor sharp. “What's it to you?”
Catlin’s expression stiffened.
“You-"
your
connection to them?”
She wanted to snap back, but then she remembered why she was even here today. Whatever she wanted to say
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgot swallowed back down.
Lately, Stephanie's attitude toward the family had been colder than ice.
But no matter what, Catlin still considered herself her mother, and being treated like this by her own child? That
was hard to
swallow.
Stephanie didn’t give her tto play the victim. “Just get to the point.”
‘Why was she wasting tasking about jewelry when they both knew that wasn’t the real reason she came?’
Catlin’s breath hitched again, but she pushed forward. “Dr. Pierce and Dr. Vitale, both of them need to come
back. We can’t drag this out any longer.”
The medical team had been pressing for days.
Without those two, Olivia's chances were getting slimmer by the hour.
Stephanie let out a dry laugh.
“You've been ducking my lawyer all week. Honestly, | was starting to think you didn’t care whether Olivia made it
or not.”
Catlin’s face went pale.
And the second Stephanie mentioned her lawyer, that pale turned straight to gray.
“I'm not signing anything.” Catlin’s voice sharpened. “Like it or not, you're my daughter. | gave birth to you.”
She said it like that meant something-as if those words alone should make Stephanie forget everything.

But Stephanie wasn’t that naive.
Her smile curved wider. “Daughter, huh? Let’s be real, you don’t care about me. What you really care about is
what's behind
me
They froze her bank cards. Kicked her out of the house. Tried to kill her business. Nothing worked.
Even an idiot could figure out she had someone backing her. And now Catlin wanted to sit here and play Mother
of the Year?
Where was all that maternal love when they were cutting her off?
Catlin’s jaw clenched so hard it looked painful.
Stephanie didn’t stop. “You see this stubringing in over two million a year, and all you can think is who's
feedingthe deals, right?”
You-
Nailed it. Catlin’s face turned red with anger and embarrassment.
Stephanie leaned back, unbothered. “At the end of the day, you're still a businesswoman.”
Even family’s just part of the deal.
Still, Stephanie had to admit-she didn’t expect the Harts to actually care this much about Olivia.
Guess Olivia had a few tricks after all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCatlin couldn't take it anymore.
Any attempt at keeping the peace crumbled. “So what? You really won't bring them back unless | sign?”
Her breath was ragged now, the frustration boiling over.
Fine. If signing that damn paper was the only way to save Olivia, so be it.
She was done trying to reason with Stephanie.
Cut her off? Fine. Let the whole city see her walk away from the Harts.
Catlin still believed-once Stephanie lost her connection to the family and the Ashfords-those so-called powerful
men around her wouldn't stick around for long.
But right now? Right now Olivia needed saving.
Stephanie didn’t say a word. She just stared at Catlin, calm and steady.
That unwavering look made Catlin grit her teeth. “Fine. If this is what you want, I'll sign. Happy now?”
