Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 90 Chapter 90 Over at Stephanie's place- Her phone buzzed with a text from Olivia: [Chris said once we move into Whispering Bay, he's gettingsunflower curtains.] Stephanie glanced at the message and typed back: [Cute. You should start shopping.] The sheer audacity.

Alright then.

Four days left. She couldn't wait to see how Chris planned to dig himself out of this mess.

The great heir of Long Harbor's top family, falling flat on his face in front of everyone? At the hospital- Olivia frowned at Stephanie's reply. No reaction. No jealousy. Nothing.

Her fingers tightened around her phone, but before she could fire off something nastier, Catlin walked in.

Olivia quickly deleted the thread and handed the phone to a nurse. "Thanks." "You're welcome." The nurse gave Catlin a polite smile on her way out.

Catlin beamed. "So? Everything settled with Whispering Bay?" Just thinking about Olivia moving into that house made her chest swell with pride.

Let those rich housewives keep talking. The sones who called Olivia a 'charity case' could choke on their words when they saw her living at Whispering Bay.

That was the kind of address that shut mouths fast.

Olivia gave a soft nod. "Yeah. Chris even said we can put up sunflower curtains in my room." Catlin's smile stretched wider.

"See? That man spoils you rotten. You better cherish that." Hearing her talk about 'the future' made Olivia's heart squeeze a little.

Would there even be a future? God, she hoped so. Once she got better, she swore she'd stop pushing her luck.

Staying alive had to be the only priority.

"By the way," Olivia said carefully, "the lawyers have been trying to find you. Mom, are you really not ready to cut Stephanie off?" With everything that happened, Olivia thought Catlin would've jumped at the chance to make it official.

Chapter 90 But instead, Catlin kept dodging their calls. What the hell? Was she seriously hesitating? After all that, was there still sleftover maternal guilt for that ungrateful brat? The second Stephanie's ncup, Catlin's smile cracked.

"She's still my daughter," Catlin sighed. "Let's wait until you're better. Then I'll decide." Truth was, Catlin couldn't bring herself to sign the papers. What if she regretted it later? Every decision she'd made about Stephanie lately was pure anger-driven impulse.

Never make decisions when she was angry-she might regret them later.

Olivia's heart sank.

'After I'm better?' So what-once Olivia was healthy again, Catlin was planning to flip the script and start 'making it up to Stephanie? And then what? Her fingers curled tight in the blanket, nails digging into her palm.

This whole time, she thought the Harts could force Stephanie out.

Now? Stephanie's accounts were untouched. Her stuwas still thriving. She was standing her ground like nothing could touch her.

So all the moves she made-what the hell was it for? All of it, completely wasted? Catlin let out a long sigh. "I just don't get it. How did she end up like this? That family must not have loved her at all. Otherwise, how could my own daughter grow up with a heart that cold?" Just thinking about Stephanie's adoptive family was enough to make Catlin's blood boil.

If those people had raised her right, Stephanie would've turned out soft and sweet, just like Olivia.

Not this mouthy little hellraiser who fired back ten times harder anytsomeone said a word.

And worse? Stephanie didn't just argue-she threw hands.

But the moment Catlin remembered Stephanie might've been treated like dirt over there, that old motherly guilt started creeping in.

Then, of course, Stephanie would do something to piss her off all over again, and Catlin would regret ever bringing her back.

"Mom," Olivia said softly, "if you want to spend more twith her, it's okay. I really don't mind." Catlin sighed. "You're too good to me." Truth was, her heart ached for both girls.

She'd been avoiding Stephanie these past few days, she just needed space to think.

Chad was right. Stephanie wasn't raised in this house, so acting like sperfect daughter wasn't in her programming.

11:52 Thu, Mar 1 Chapter 90 Maybe, mure Olivia got better, they could actually figure out how to deal with her, 89% (+28) Before Callin could say anything clee, Olivia suddenly gasped, then cried out in pain. Her whole body curled up tight, hands Calin panicked, "Olivia! Wher's wrong? Baby, talk to me!" "It hurts. It hunts so bad? The room exploded into chaos-purses rushing in, doctors right behind them.

Catlin stood frozen in the hallway, heart slamming against her ribs. Every cry from inside that room felt like someone was wringing her heart out with their bare hands.

An hour later 200 The specialists who'd been handling Olivia's case pulled Carlin aside. "If you want to save her uterus, we need Dr. Pierce back immediately Catlin's stomach dropped so hard she felt dizzy, Olivia's uterus, Which meant her future with Chris, The Ashfords barely tolerated Olivia as it was. If she couldn't have kids, no matter how much Chris loved her now, that love might not hold up.

Catlin's voice shook. "We'll do whatever it takes. Just save her," "Then we need to get Dr. Pierce back as soon as possible." The doctors exchanged a glance. "We also need Dr. Vitale on board." Catlin's heart squeezed even tighter.

Macro and Allison.

That brought them right back to the sbrick wall-Stephanie.

For days, they'd tried everything-money, favors, pulling strings-but no matter what they offered, the answer never changed.

It all still cdown to Stephanie.

Meanwhile, at Stephanie's place-

Ella showed up around lunchtime, claiming she wanted to grab food, but the second she walked in, Stephanie could tell- this girl cfor gossip.

Especially with how the Ashfords were reacting to Olivia's Olivia'scondition-and all the things the Harts and Chris were scrambling to do for her. "That girl really is the manipulative angel." "Yeah, one that headed to heaven soon." Stephanie snorted.

11:52 Thu, 6 Mar MO Chapter 90 Dr. Pierce ran Olivia's tests himself, so yeah-Olivia wasn't faking this time.

Stephanie had been convinced it was all an act.

"Still, Ella shrugged, "can't say she didn't earn this one." "Karma," Stephanie said, all smiles. "Anyway, what are we eating?" "Mexican?" "Nope. Not happening," Stephanie shut it down without thinking.

If she dared sneak out for spicy food, Sebastian would 100% blow up her phone.

Besides, he already promised the chef would make her whatever she wanted.

The second Ella walked in, Stephanie had texted him, casually mentioning they were grabbing dinner together. His reply cfast: [No spicy food. No exceptions.] Even through the screen, his tone was ironclad.

Ella whistled. "Damn, your brother's intense. Full-on sister complex, huh?" "You think he's bad?" Stephanie raised a brow.

"There's more?" "My sister's even worse." Ella's eyes widened. "Hold up, you've got a sister too?" Stephanie nodded. "Yep. Sofia." And truth be told... she missed her like crazy.
