“Whispering Bay. | live here. Chris is really useless, huh? Couldn't even figure that out before telling you?”
Stephanie said casually.
Hearing that Stephanie was actually living in Whispering Bay, Olivia felt her lungs seize up. It was like a knife had
been plunged straight into her chest.
Not long ago, she had boasted to everyone that Chris was buying Whispering Bay for her recovery. She had
flaunted it shamelessly, rubbing it with Stephanie's dignity every chance she got.
But now, everything changed.
“You've been living there ever since you moved out of Cloudridge Valley?” Olivia asked.
“Yeah. Now don’t forget my 300 thousand dollars,” Stephanie replied.
In just a few sentences, Stephanie had already mentioned the 300 thousand dollars twice, which only intensified
Olivia's distress.
And that was not even the worst part. Stephanie then added, “When are you going to pay me? We agreed. No
backing out on this.”
Olivia had just turned to Catlin with a pitiful look in her eyes when Stephanie suddenly hit her with that remark. It
was like driving another knife straight into her chest.
Olivia trembled as she spoke. “I don’t have that much money.”
She really did not. That murderer had been pestering her for money every other day, and she was already at her

On the other end of the line, Stephanie casually picked up a piece of tangerine and popped it into her mouth.
“Oh? No money? That's not what you said when you made the bet.”
Olivia froze. Back when she made the bet, she had been so sure of her victory. She had overestimated Chris’
abilities.
She had thought she could get a cut from the more than two million dollars Stephanie had made last year. But
after multiple failed attempts, she had only ended up losing more and more.
Just thinking about it made Olivia furious. Her stomach twisted in anger.
Stephanie smirked. “What? Thinking about skipping out on your debt?”
Sebastian walked in just in tto see Stephanie lying on the bed, hugging a fruit platter while eating
tangerines. He had been the one to send them over.
He had once overheard a doctor mention that eating fruits rich in vitamin C helped people recover faster from
fevers.
Stephanie saw him enter and was about to hang up the phone.
But before she could, Olivia's desperate voice cthrough. “Stefi, | was wrong before. I'm sorry. Please, just let
Stephanie paused, momentarily stunned by Olivia's words. “Are you seriously trying to get out of paying?”
Olivia really was something. She could be shameless when she needed to be. All this groveling, just so she cough
up the money.

Stephanie was done messing with her. She had gotten enough amusement out of this.

Stephanie pouted. “You're seriously micromanagingnow?”
Sebastian raised a brow. “Huh?”
Stephanie sighed. “Fine, | got it.”
‘He nags more than Mom does,’ she grumbled inwardly,

Sebastian arched a brow. “Do you even need 300 thousand dollars?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I don’t. But I won, so I'm collecting,” Stephanie replied.
Whether she needed the money or not was beside the point. What mattered was making Olivia suffer.
Olivia had been unbearably arrogant before, so Stephanie had to knock her down a few pegs.
Sebastian chuckled. “She doesn’t have 300 thousand dollars to give you right now.”
Stephanie blinked. “Huh? How do you know?”
“The guy who hit you with his car? He's been demanding money from her constantly. Just today, he asked for
300 thousand dollars,” Sebastian said.
Stephanie’s lips twitched at the news. “And how exactly do you know that?”
She was beginning to suspect that he had someone keeping tabs on Olivia.
At that moment, Stephanie was absolutely sure that Sebastian was seriously furious about her car accident.
But something about that murderer asking Olivia for money felt off.
Stephanie leaned in closer, studying Sebastian. “Sebastian, are you hiding something from me?”
