Catlin had been waiting outside the Lewis mansion, her patience wearing thin. She'd found out that Allison had
returned two hours ago and had rushed over, hoping to catch her.
Maybe it was because the Hart family was in disarray, or maybe it was just bad lock, but the couldn't even get
past the front
door.
The servant who cout told her to leave, saying Allison wouldn't see her. But Catlin couldn't leave Just
thinking about the pain Olivia was going through made her heart ache. She couldn’t give up. She had to see
Allison.
Finally, Allison emerged. Catlin’s heart raced as she stepped forward, her voice trembling with desperation. “Mi
Pierce, please, you have to help my daughter.

“Which daughter?” Allison asked, her tone casual as she crossed her arms, clearly unimpressed
Catlin’s face froze, and for a moment, she couldn't breathe. “My foster daughter, Olivia,” she finally managed to
say, her voice strained.
“Oh, your foster daughter, Allison drawled, her eyes narrowing. “Look at you, all worried. | thought maybe
something happened to your real daughter, Stephanie
Catlin forced an awkward bitter smile. She couldn’t think of anything to say. “Please go check on her with me,”
she suggested weakly.
“Alright, Allison conceded. “But letmake one thing clear: | wasn’t planning on coming here. Your real
daughter called me, beggingto be kind enough to visit.”
Catlin was stunned. ‘How could Stephanie possibly care about Olivia? She's always wanted Olivia out of the
picture
So she asked, disbelief creeping into her voice, “Stefi called you? She asked you to check on Olivia Ms. Pierce,
are you sure you didn’t mishear? There's no way Stefi would-
“Are you suggesting | have hearing problems now?” Allison's eyes flashed with irritation. “If that’s the case, how
can you trustto check on Olivia?”
“L... Catlins mouth opened and closed, but no words cout. Then she decided to save Olivia for now. Thank
you,” she finally said, forcing the words past her lips.
Allison’s disdain was palpable. “No need to thank me, she grunted. “Just remember how kind your own daughter
is.”
Catlin’s chest tightened, and she had to swallow her anger. Mentioning Stephanie was the last thing she wanted.
She believed her family’s downfall was all Stephanie's fault.
But she couldn't afford to lose her temper now. So she forced herself to agree, though every word felt like a lie.
“Ms. Pierce, you're right.”
Allison’s eyes narrowed at Catlins insincerity, and she let out a short, humorless laugh. She turned and walked
straight to her car, clearly done with the conversation.
“Ms. Pierce, | drove here myself,” Catlin called out, hurrying after her.
“No need.” Allison replied, her tone dismissive. “Most mechanics working for you and your family are

Her words hung in the air, a veiled reference to the accident involving Stephanie. The evidence had pointed
straight to Olivia, but the Hart family had still chosen to stand by her.
Catlin’s body felt stiff with frustration. Her anger towards Stephanie was a burning coal in her chest. She
clenched her fists,

cursing Stephanie inwardly. She hurried to her own car, her mind racing with thoughts of revenge and
frustration, and sped off to follow Allison's car
Stephanie was already in the car, nestled against the seat, when her phone buzzed. It was Allison. | don’t think
you should care about her life,” she said.
“What?” Stephanie was confused.
“With so many people from the Hart family who love her, why would she want to just kill herself Allison snerred.
There was a pause on Stephanie’s end.
“You should see how much Catlin cared about Olivia, What on earth did she do to win so many people over
Allison continued, remembering Catlin had just shown her deep bias against Stephanie.
