Slamming into the chair across from her, Chad glared hard: “You really had us fooled. We definitely
underestimated you.”
Who would've thought this girl, right under their noses, had built a whole business empire-and they never saw it
coming.
Stephanie leaned back lazily. “Didn't you say you were gonna shut my studown? Been a few days. What's the
holdup?”
The sarcasm hit him like a slap.
His face flushed with anger.
If he could've shut her down, he would've already.
But instead of going there, Tyler went for something else. “Mom had to be carried out of here today. What the
hell did you do?”
Stephanie shrugged. “Take a wild guess.”
That flippant answer snapped something in him.
“That's your mother! Just because you've got spowerful man behind you now, you think you can just ditch
basic respect for your own family?”
Stephanie's eyes lifted slightly. “Newsflash, it’s former family.”
Tyler's breath caught. “What the hell does that mean?”
Stephanie took a sip of water like she had all the tin the world.

Everyone's gonna know the Hart family cutoff. So next tyou wanna act like I'm after your precious
mommy, relax. | couldn't care less.”
All this over nothing. When she first cback, Olivia acted like Stephanie was there to steal her spot.
Tyler had the scomplex, terrified she'd soak up even a drop of motherly affection.
Like she ever wanted it.
Tyler stared at her in disbelief. “You actually signed disownment papers? You're seriously cutting ties?”
He slammed a hand on her desk so hard his palm stung.
Stephanie shot him a bored glance. “I already signed. As of right now, you and I? No relation. You have exactly
zero authority to yell at me.”
“You...”
Tyler's breath hitched.
Stephanie cut him off. “Speaking of authority, do you even know what that means? Because letbe clear-you
and your whole damn family are nothing tonow. So get the hell out of my office before | make you.”
She stood up, bracing her hands on the desk, and in one fluid motion vaulted right over it, landing squarely in
front of him.
Smooth, fast, and sharp as hell.

Stephanie folded her arms. “By the way, you ever wonder how Chris ended up with busted ribs and a twisted
knee?”
“You did that?”
Nope. But | could've”
Tyler snorted. “What, you gonna hitnow?”
Before the last word left his mouth, her tist connected with his face-hard.
87%#
The metallic taste of blood flooded his mouth, and as he reached up to touch his lip, his fingers caway red,
One of his teeth felt loose too
“Stephanie!”
Tyler's voice exploded across the room, his rage spilling over.
But before he could say anything else, her fist was already swinging again, and landing square on his face.
He instinctively tried to grab her wrist, only to realize her grip was stronger than his.
A split second later, another punch smashed into his temple, leaving his head ringing so hard it felt like his brain
rattled
loose.
Stephanie wiped her wrist, like touching him had contaminated her..

“One more thing, now that the disownment papers are signed, you have zero authority over me. You're just some

I'm still your bro...”
“Excuse me?”
That icy tone froze the words right in his throat.
‘Brother?
In all these years, she'd never once called him that.
Tyler's chest heaved with anger as he forced himself upright. “You're gonna pay for this. | swear.”
And right then, the office door swung open,
Sebastian stood in the doorway, his expression cold enough to freeze the whole room. “You were saying?”
His voice was quiet, almost casual, but the weight behind it could crush bones.
