Chapter 68 48% The moment the doorknob turned, Olivia sensed it immediately. She turned her head and saw Chris standing at the doorway, Her pupils constricted at the sight of those familiar eyes, and her heart clenched so hard it almost hurt.

Her mind raced at lightning speed. Without a second thought, she ended the phone call.

Chris frowned. His sharp gaze flickered with something unreadable as he spoke. "Who's going to prison?" He had heard Olivia's breath hitched. "Oh... so you canh that, huh? "Olivia, could you..." Chris said.

"It was just a scam call. I told him to stop messing around, or he would end up in jail. What are you thinking?" She forced herself to stay calm, but inside, she was already in a full-blown panic.

No one, especially Chris and the Hart family, could ever find out about what happened back then. If they did, she was as good as dead "That so?" Chris' eyes remained deep and unreadable.

Olivia nodded. "Of course. What else would it be?" Chris reached out and ruffled her soft hair in a seemingly affectionate gesture. "Nothing" But the moment she couldn't see his expression, a shadow of deep thought flashed across his eyes.

Their phones were all specially encrypted. Scam calls shouldn't even be able to get through.

"Chris, when can I be discharged?" Olivia wrapped her arms around his lean waist, her tone carrying a trace of anticipation.

She was desperate to leave this place. Besides, several of her friends had already asked her if Chris had really bought Whispering Bay, Shallow Bay Area for her.

Their voices had been dripping with envy.

Olivia had confidently told them it was true and that she would be moving there soon to recuperate. They had even started making plans for a celebration in her honor, eagerly organizing everything down to the guest list. She believed in Chris. He would buy Whispering Bay for her.

And at that moment, Chris was lost in thought.

As Olivia clung to his waist, Chris' body tensed involuntarily. He didn't even know why, but deep down, an unfamiliar sense of resistance welled up inside him "Soon," he said.

Keeping his movements controlled, he gently grasped Olivia's arms and pried them off his waist.

Olivia didn't notice anything off about him. Still looking pitiful, she sighed. "I don't want to make things difficult for you, the smell of disinfectant every day is unbearable." Chris nodded. "I know." Thinking about Whispering Bay, he felt a headache creeping in.

Just the thought of Stephanie reminded him of the the and Kevin had run into her at Whispering Bay.

He didn't know what she was doing there and the relationship between her and the owner.

"She's been causing a huge scene because of me, and she even beat up Tyler. I want to explain things to her in person. Otherwise, it's only going to make life harder for all of you" Chris said, "Forget it. Don't meet her.

"No. I have to," Olivia said firmly.

She looked at Chris and continued. "Mom won't leteither, but I know she's making life miserable for all of you. And all of this started because of me. Chris, please. Can you bring her here for me! I really want to talk to her.

"And that stuof hers? I'm honestly worried she might use underhanded tactics to secure partnerships. She's Mom's biological daughter. Her life turned out like this because of me. I don't want to just stand by and watch her spiral out of control." Olivia's voice was filled with concern, every word carrying a deep sincerity.

Chris let out a sigh. You care about her, but she won't sit down and have a civilized conversation with you." "Whether she will or not, I still want to try. Can't I at least do that?" she said.

Chris froze for a moment. Upon seeing Olivia like this, all the refusals that had been at the tip of his tongue suddenly felt impossible to say out loud.

As Stephanie stepped out of the elevator on the ground floor, she nearly bumped into Chris She was momentarily stunned, but the next second, she turned and walked right past him as if he didn't exist.

Chris felt his blood pressure spike. She wasn't even willing to say a single word to him.

In a flash, he grabbed her slender wrist. "Hold on." Seeing him grabbing her wrist again, Stephanie didn't even bother hiding the disgust in her eyes.

And yet, even after that, he still didn't let go of her wrist. His eyes burned with anger the kind that made it seem like he wanted to tear her apart. Stephanie scoffed. "Still not letting go!" Chris snarled. "Are you even a woman?"

What the hell? With the way she acts, how do Macro and the guys from Cloudridge Valley even find her m attractive? They have the option of warm, soft, well-mannered women, and yet they go for her? What a bad taste!' Chris wondered. But when he thought about Macro and that man being by her side, he felt a pang of jealousy in his heart.
