DreameNovelChapter 119
Stephanie stared at Chris coldly. “Are you thinking straight now?”
If he still wasn’t, she was seriously considering grabbing a whole basin of water and drenching him from head to
toe.
Chris gritted his teeth, his chest rising and falling furiously. “How could you...”
“Sugar daddy? Being kept? Chris, you're an idiot. I'm actually starting to suspect that you've been covering up
problems in Ashford Group’s management all this time,” she said.
Chris narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean by that?”
“Being so stupid, do you really expectto believe you've been running a company properly? Other than lying
to your parents, what else can you even do?” Stephanie sneered.
Frankly, she didn’t buy for a second that he was truly capable of managing Ashford Group.
Her meaning was crystal clear. Chris was stupid, completely and utterly brainless.
Chris almost passed out from sheer anger. “How dare you!”
“You're not even qualified to question me, yet here you are trying to humiliate me? Do you even understand the
situation you're in?” she continued.
Chris froze for a moment. He really wanted to sew her mouth shut.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What situation?” His chest was heaving with rage now.
Stephanie twisted sarcasm deeper. “First, | dumped you. The entire Long Harbor knows about it.”
Chris stiffened on the spot.
Stephanie continued, “Second, Macro and Allison? Your whole family is still beggingfor their help, aren't
they?”
Chris‘ expression turned even darker.
The mere mention of Macro and Allison made his blood boil.
Those two doctors had the audacity to tie their medical decisions to Stephanie's mood. They weren't even
worthy of being called doctors.
Stephanie’s voice was laced with sarcasm. “So letget this straight. You're beggingfor a favor, insulting
Upon thinking back to the hospital, when Catlin and Tyler had actually talked about kidnapping her, Stephanie's
eyes flashed with an icy chill.
Chris had stormed in aggressively, but now, faced with Stephanie’s cold, cutting words, he couldn't utter a single
syllable.
The way she mocked him with such precision, with such absolute seriousness, made him realize something. She
truly meant it when she broke off their engagement.
Suddenly, a suffocating tightness gripped his chest. He felt like he couldn't breathe.
His face paled slightly. “Then tell me; who was that man at the hospital to you?”
That was the only reason he had ctoday. If he didn’t get an answer, he wasn’t leaving.

Chapter 119
Stephanie’s lips curled into a smirk. “And why should | tell you?”
Her counterquestion was sharp.
And she was right. She had no reason to explain anything to Chris.
“Did | not make myself clear earlier? Which part of it didn’t you understand? Should | repeat it for you?” she said.
What a complete fool. How does someone this dumb even run Ashford Group?” she thought.
At this point, she seriously suspected that Chris had been covering up major internal issues in the company.
On the surface, Ashford Group stood at the top of the pyramid. But who knew what kind of disaster was lurking
underneath?
Chris‘ expression darkened as he ignored her mockery and pressed on. “Then letask differently. Why are you
living in Whispering Bay? Who owns Whispering Bay?”
Stephanie raised a brow. “Oh? You're so desperate to know who owns it. What, planning to buy it so Olivia can
recuperate there?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe thought was so ridiculous.
But instead of laughing, Stephanie felt nothing but irritation. Her house was coveted by a sickly woman. If Olivia
actually died there, it would be a nightmare for Stephanie.
Chris’ jaw tightened. “Is it Macro? Or that man you were with at Cloudridge Valley? Or maybe... the one from the
hospital today?”
The moment the words left his mouth, Stephanie’s patience snapped.
She reached for another glass of water to throw at him only to find her cup was already empty.
With a loud bang, Stephanie slammed the glass onto the desk, then stood up and said, “Wait right here.”
