Chapter 204
A cold glint flashed in Catlin’s eyes as she turned to Olivia. “What is she talking about? That thirty grand, who did
you give it
to?”
Even a fool could tell Stephanie was referring to the money that had left Olivia’s account.
But how did she know?
Caught off guard, Olivia stammered, “Huh? Oh... I-l gave it to a scammer.”
“That's the excuse she had used before, right?’
Everything was happening too fast. She barely had tto think.
Catlin seized on her words. “You hear that? She was scammed!”
Stephanie let out a cold laugh. “Oh? You sure it wasn’t a payment to a murderer?”
The word “murderer” hit Olivia like a punch to the gut. She forgot to breathe.
Stephanie tilted her head slightly. “Elliot, didn’t you find out that the money actually went to a wanted killer?”
“That's right,” Elliot confirmed. “An A-list fugitive.”
Stephanie clicked her tongue. “An A-list fugitive? Thirty grand? What was it for? Skind of deal?”
Olivia's mind exploded with a deafening buzz.
She knows. Stephanie knows everything.
Panic gripped Olivia as she tried to process the fact that her secret was out.
Catlin, completely stunned, looked between Stephanie and Olivia. “Wait, what? Olivia, why the hell are you in

“Yeah,” Stephanie pressed, her tone sharp. “Why, Olivia?”
With both women closing in, Olivia's mind went blank.
One thought echoed in Olivia's mind-she was screwed.
Her heart pounded wildly as she locked eyes with Stephanie. The pressure was too much. Her vision blurred, and
before she could fight it, everything went black.
Catlin had been confused at first, but when Olivia collapsed in her arms, her lips turning pale and bluish, panic
set in.
“Olivia! Olivia!” Catlin shrieked. “Somebody call a doctor! Now!”
Her voice rang out in hysteria.
Stephanie watched the scene unfold, utterly unimpressed. “Let's go.”
“Yes, ma'am,” Elliot responded, following her lead.
Even after they turned the corner, Catlin’s frantic screams echoed through the hallway, proof of just how much
she cared

Elliot cast a glance at Stephanie. “Olivia's crafty, but don’t worry. The evidence will surface soon.”
about Olivia.
The money had indeed ended up in a murderer’s hands, but it hadn't been transferred directly from Olivia's
account.
It had passed through multiple layers-clearly laundered.
Stephanie smirked. “No rush.”
From Olivia's reaction alone, it was clear she wasn’t faking her illness.
If she were healthy, Stephanie wouldn't hesitate to take her down herself.
But karma was doing the job just fine. The woman was practically falling apart-her hair thinning to the point of
bald patches.
For someone as vain as Olivia, fighting a losing battle with tand illness was torture enough.
Elliot immediately caught on. “You really scared the hell out of her just now.”
Stephanie let out a light chuckle, playful and almost mischievous.
The sound was contagious. For a moment, Elliot understood why Sebastian admired her so much.
She had this effortless ease about her, a kind of lightness that was rare.
Even in the darkest places, she carried the kind of energy that made people feel alive.
Bzzzz. Stephanie Giovanni's phone vibrated-it was Sebastian.
She answered, “Hey, Seb

She instinctively glanced at Elliot, who was trailing behind her.
Elliot, suddenly very interested in the floor, avoided her gaze.
Wait...
“Wasn't Mr. Giovanni supposed to be worried she'd get bullied by the Harts?
He just recorded a video of her scaring the Hart family and sent it to Sebastian.
Stephanie muttered, “I wasn’t causing trouble.
Sebastian chuckled. “Good girl”
Clearly busy, he hung up after that.
Stephanie turned to Elliot. “You recordedat my most terrifying, didn’t you
Elliot stayed silent.
