Chapter 94 Chapter 94 88%% 029 Catlin had been playedtricked into signing the severance papers, only for Stephanie to turn around and completely deny her promise about Dr. Vitale and Dr. Pierce, "You... You've crossed the line!" Catlin was so furious she couldn't even catch her breath.
Her vision blurred, and just like that-she fainted.
Stephanie calmly picked up the phone and buzzed Jennifer. "Call an ambulance. Someone passed out." Jennifer's voice shot up an octave. "Wait, what? Passed out? Here?" Seriously? That Mrs. Hart looked perfectly healthy. Now she's passing out in Stephanie's office? This better not be sstaged stunt to squeeze money out of her boss.
"I'm on it." If they wanted to pull something shady, Jennifer wasn't having it.
She didn't just call 911-she called three more times to speed things up. In less than fifteen minutes, the ambulance was there, hauling Catlin off with lights flashing.
Jennifer cback wiping sweat off her forehead.
"Boss, that woman's either got a heart condition. Better stop seeing her, or you might scammed by them.” Knowing the Hart family's reputation, Jennifer wouldn't put it past them to turn this into scash grab. Stephanie leaned back, bored. "Heart condition? Nah, I just pissed her off." "Huh?" "I said, I made her so mad she passed out." Jennifer's jaw dropped.
But then again, after everything the Harts had done to Stephanie, Jennifer couldn't even pretend to feel bad. If anything, Catlin got off easy.
"Alright, enough gawking," Stephanie said. "I need you to take care of something. Check your inbox." She slid a handwritten note across the desk, listing an address and a phone number-info Elliot had just dug up.
"Print this out and mail it there." Turns out, Tyler Hart had been surprisingly generous with his little side piece.
Maybe because she gave him a kid. Either way, the woman was living comfortably in a private gated community, chauffeured around like sminor celebrity.
Tyler had been spending plenty. Short of giving her the actual Mrs. Hart title, he'd pretty much given her everything else.

Sure enough, Jennifer barely had tto handle the mailing before she popped her head back in. "Boss, Tyler Hart's here" Her tone practically dripped with contempt.
It was pretty obvious she must have just seen all the dirt they dug up.
A man, two-timing....
A guy cheating on his fiancée wasn't exactly shocking, but the way Tyler went about it was downright trashy.
Stephanie didn't even blink. “Let him in. Oh, and send that woman a preview" "Got it." Jennifer knew exactly what Stephanie was up to.
The Harts wanted to make her life miserable? Great.
She was about to flip their world upside down and let them deal with their own mess for once.
Jennifer headed out, and Tyler walked in, face like thunder.
It had been a few days since they'd last seen each other-and in those few days, he'd been digging.
He still didn't know exactly who Stephanie's mysterious backer was.
The past few days had been an eye-opener for him.
Especially when Skyriver Travel's rep straight up told him, "Cut ties with her? We can't, and frankly, we wouldn't dare." And just when he thought that was bad enough, they dropped one last gem before hanging up, "By the way, who the hell are you again?" A company as big as Skyriver Travel, scared to offend her? Seriously? That final "who the hell are you" wasn't just cocky-it was a direct slap in the face that whoever was backing Stephanie wasn't someone easy messed with.
That man had her wrapped in so much armor, there wasn't a single move they could pull off against her.
They thought she'd be an easy target. Turned out she was a spiked grenade.
Touch her and they'd bleed.
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.
11:53 Thu, 6 Mar Chapter 94 88%1 +23 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.
"In about an hour, every media outlet in Long Harbor's gonna have a copy of the signed disownment papers. Everyone's gonna know the Hart family cutoff. So next tyou wanna act like I'm after your precious mommy, relax. I 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 letdem e clear you and your whole damn family are nothing tonow. So get the hell out of my office before I 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 I could've." Tyler snorted. "What, you gonna hitnow?" Before the last word left his mouth, her fist connected with his face-hard.
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!" 6 Mar ☐☐88% Chapter 94 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.
"You yell atin my place again, I swear you're leaving here on a stretcher."
"One more thing, now that the disownment papers are signed, you You're have zero authority over me. just srandom guy off the street, so don't cin here acting like you can question me." "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. I 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.
