Chapter 260

At the hospital, Chris’s face was livid, and he emitted a chilling aura. Holding Ella’s phone, he dialed Stephanie’s number repeatedly. Stephanie would block anyone’s calls except Ella’s.

Enraged, Ella kicked Chris. “Damn it, enough. Give me back my phone!” Previously, she had followed her mother’s advice and avoided provoking the Ashford family. But now, Ella truly couldn’t stand it anymore. “What did he mean by hogging my phone? Robbery?” she thought angrily.

Chris dodged, and Ella’s toe grazed his calf. But the spot still hurt intensely. “You woman…” Chris gritted his teeth. She truly was Stephanie’s friend; they were both exactly alike in this regard.

Ella Turner fumed, “Chris, that’s enough. She just heard your voice from my phone. Do you think she’ll answer again?” Chris didn’t speak. Hearing this, the aura around him instantly chilled. Ella seized the opportunity to snatch back her phone. “You deserve it. Your taste in women is just terrible.”

Everyone in the circle of wealthy socialites knew Olivia was actually a conniving bitch. But Chris stubbornly believed she was kind, virtuous, and beautiful. He was truly hopeless. Ella left.

From the hospital room came Catlin’s furious protests, “We’re not leaving this hospital, no matter what. Don’t even think about it.” “In that case, we can only ask someone to send Mrs. Hart and Miss Hart back,” said the head nurse, her voice equally serious and cold. “Let your hospital director come and talk to me personally,” said Catlin. “Mrs. Hart, it’s no use going to the hospital director about this matter.”

Chris came to the ward door and saw the mess. He didn’t know what had happened. The whole ward was in disarray. Olivia was sitting on the messy hospital bed, looking pitiful and helpless. Chris felt a pang of pain in his heart. Olivia, seeing Qi Yan, choked back her tears and called out, “Chris.”

Chris stepped forward and took her into his arms. “It’s okay. I’ll take care of it.” He looked at the head nurse waiting coldly. “Get out.”

The head nurse said, “Mr. Ashford, why are you making things difficult for us? This matter…” “Get lost!” Chris was completely furious. The head nurse glanced at Olivia, who was huddled in Chris’s arms, frowned, and left without saying anything. But her back gave the impression that this matter was obviously not over.

Kevin had just stepped into the ward when he heard Chris say, “Go and take care of it.” Kevin’s heart skipped a beat. Considering the Ashford family also had shares in this hospital, Olivia couldn’t continue staying here. No other hospitals in Long Harbor would likely take her in. The forces behind them were too powerful, causing even the hospital where the Ashford family had shares to treat Olivia this way. Meeting Chris’s gaze, Kevin nodded nervously, “Okay.” Kevin left.

Olivia looked up, tears welling in her eyes, “What did I do wrong? Why did Stefi do this to me?” At the mention of Stephanie, Chris and Catlin’s anger intensified even more, especially Catlin’s. Thinking about Stephanie’s current attitude towards her, she felt incredibly enraged.

“Chris, did you see Stephanie again in Spring Mountain? And the heir of the Lucano family, how did she manage to make him do this for her?” First, she suppressed the Hart family, and now she forcibly cut off Olivia’s path to survival. She could make the heir of the Lucano family do such a thing for her. She really underestimated Stephanie. The more Catlin thought about it, the more ragged her breathing became.

At the mention of Stephanie and this matter with Mr. Giovanni, Chris’s brows furrowed. Before he could speak, Olivia in his arms said, “Is Stefi doing this to suppress me, so she can completely sell herself to the Lucano family?” “If that’s the case, I’ll leave the Hart family, and she won’t have to degrade herself like this.” “Olivia,” Catlin said, her tone increasingly urgent.
