Chapter 261

For some reason, hearing Olivia say that made Chris feel particularly uncomfortable, and he even felt a sense of inexplicable resistance. Olivia didn’t notice the unusualness in Chris’s demeanor.

She continued. “Mom, she’s your biological daughter. I can’t bear to see her like this because of me. I…” At this point, Olivia choked up. Catlin’s heart skipped a beat at the words “biological daughter.” She wanted to say that she had already severed ties with Stephanie, but then she thought about the company… From what Brandon implied, the entire company’s survival now rested in Stephanie’s hands.

Olivia sobbed, “I’ve always treated her like a sister. I don’t want her to turn out like this.”

“That’s enough,” Chris interrupted. His temples were throbbing. Olivia and Catlin noticed the displeasure in Chris’s tone and looked at him in confusion. Chris felt a little suffocated in his chest. “Stephanie grew up in the Lucano family.”

Olivia was stunned for a moment. Catlin froze. Their faces stiffened at his words. Catlin’s breath hitched. “What… What do you mean?”

‘What did he mean she grew up in the Lucano family?’ Olivia also looked at Chris in confusion. “Yeah, Chris, what do you know?”

‘Grew up in the Lucano family?’ ‘Stephanie Giovanni?’ The Lucano family in Fiorenza? The one that everyone feared.

Chris closed his eyes. At this moment, just the thought of Stephanie being part of the Lucano family made his body stiffen uncontrollably.

“Stephanie Giovanni is Sebastian Lucano’s younger sister.”

Sebastian Lucano. Sebastian Giovanni? They had heard this name before, but at that time, they didn’t realize it was the famous Mr. Giovanni. His father was from Zoria, and his mother from Fiorenza. His father had also achieved great success in Fiorenza.

“Sebastian Lucano, Mr. Giovanni?” Olivia realized what was happening and looked at Chris with a quickening breath. Her pupils dilated in disbelief as she struggled to accept that Stephanie was actually the younger sister of the famous Mr. Giovanni in Fiorenza. Olivia secretly took several deep breaths in astonishment.

‘Raised in the Lucano family in Fiorenza, the heir of Lucano, the one known as Mr. Giovanni… Younger sister?’ Olivia exchanged glances with Catlin. At this moment, Catlin’s breath caught in her throat.

Olivia raised her head, “Chris, are you sure?” At this moment, Olivia’s heart was filled with tumultuous jealousy, and she refused to believe that Stephanie grew up in the Lucano family.

Chris’s breath grew colder. “It’s absolutely true.” The matter handled personally by his father could not possibly go wrong. Stephanie turned out to be Sebastian Giovanni’s younger sister. When Chris first learned of this news, his mind went blank. Even now, he was still somewhat in disbelief.

Catlin’s breath quickened, “How could this be? How could…?” She looked at Chris in disbelief.

‘Didn’t they always say she grew up in the countryside? How did she become the Lucano family’s…?’ ‘Wait, wasn’t it said a few years ago that the Lucano family had lost their little princess? Was it her?’ Back then, the whole of Fiorenza was in an uproar; even they had heard about it. The whole of Fiorenza was turned upside down, and she had felt sorry for the fate of the little princess. Olivia also knew about this. She was the one who told Catlin about it. The two looked at each other, their breathing chaotic. If Stephanie grew up in the Lucano family, then this matter was truly troublesome.

Here in Spring Mountain, Stephanie hid under the quilt, refusing to come out. A muffled voice came from under the quilt, “Get out. Get out now.”

“Stefi, this injury is no joke. Just let me see.”

“If you keep mentioning it, I’m really not going to talk to you anymore.” There was a hint of annoyance in her tone.

Sebastian sighed in helplessness and reached out to pull the quilt off her head, but Stephanie had tightly wrapped herself in it.

“Don’t you dare pull it! Oh, I’m going to call Mom.” At these words, Sebastian’s hands froze for a moment. He then picked her up along with the quilt and sat her down on his lap.

“Ouch, it hurts,” came Stephanie’s whimpering voice. Sebastian lifted the quilt from her face, revealing her already blushing face from holding her breath. Sebastian had a serious look on his face. Stephanie looked at him eagerly, her eyes filled with tears, looking pitiful.

Sebastian sighed and asked, “Does it hurt a lot?” Stephanie nodded, looking extremely aggrieved.
