Just as she was about to leave, she received a text from an unknown number. [The curtains at Whispering Bay
have probably been changed by now.]
From the content, she knew it was Olivia.
Stephanie couldn’t understand where Olivia got the audacity to show off to her when she was dying right now.
Honestly, if Olivia weren't already suffering from three terminal illnesses, Stephanie might have had to deal with
her personally.
Little did she know that Olivia was barely holding herself together.
That morning, when she saw the massive clump of hair on her pillow, her heart nearly shattered.
Stephanie replied casually, [You said ‘probably‘-so it’s not certain, is it?]
She felt that Chris was still stringing Olivia along.
Even Olivia wasn’t sure if she’d be moving into Whispering Bay.
Olivia responded, [Whether it's certain or not, Chris has nothing to do with you anymore.]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt‘Oh, how arrogant,’ thought Stephanie.
[Aren’t you afraid that | will show this to him?] texted Stephanie.
[I dare you.] replied Olivia.
This phone number was not Olivia's, so it would depend on whether Chris believed her or Stephanie.
[I bet 300 thousand dollars that you won't be able to move into Whispering Bay,] said Stephanie.
Since Olivia loved showing off so much, Stephanie decided to play along.
If she was going to flaunt something, there should at least be stakes involved.
On the other end, Olivia's breath hitched when she saw Stephanie's message.
A trace of malice flashed in her eyes.
[300 thousand dollars? You're really that shameless?]
[What, can’t afford it?]
Forget pride-money was what truly mattered.
Seeing Stephanie’s arrogant tone, Olivia gritted her teeth.
[Fine. I'll bet!]
300 thousand dollars wasn’t a small amount, but she trusted that Chris wouldn't let her down. If Stephanie lost,
she'd have to pay her instead.
And truthfully, Olivia needed the money. The man who had been blackmailing her was still lurking in the
shadows, and her recent hospital stay meant the Hart family assumed she wasn’t spending much. She barely
had anything on hand.

Chapter 167
If she could squeeze money out of Stephanie, it would solve her problem perfectly.
She remembered that Stephanie’s stuhad made over more than two million last year, so 300 thousand
dollars would be nothing to Stephanie.
With this in mind, Olivia sent another message, [Remember, no backing out. You made the bet yourself.]
Stephanie replied, (Of course. No backing out. Just don’t start crying when you lose.]
The phrase “start crying” hit Olivia like a slap to the face.
Stephanie continued, [And don’t you dare say you don’t have the money when the tcomes. You better be
prepared for the consequences, or I'll make sure you regret it.]
Seeing these words, Olivia almost fainted from anger.
In a fit of rage, she deleted all the messages and handed her phone back to the nurse.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStephanie saw that Olivia had stopped replying and knew she had successfully shut her up.
She always made sure to lay down the ground rules first.
God knew how much she wanted to rip apart that scheming face every tshe saw Olivia.
By the tStephanie arrived at her studio, exactly one hour had passed.
Jackson stood up when he saw her. “Stefi, you're finally here. I've been waiting forever!”
His tone was completely familiar, as if they had sdeep bond.
To an outsider, it might even seem like they had a significant friendship.
Especially when Jackson tried to drape his arm around her shoulders, to which Stephanie instinctively dodged.
‘Looks like he hasn't learned his lesson from Sebastian yet,’ thought Stephanie.
Stephanie cut straight to the point. “Just say what you need to say.”
The fake was giving her the creeps.
