But considering the purpose of her visit this time, she dared not lose her temper.
She tried hard to suppress her anger and looked at Elliot. “I am her mother. | have something important to
discuss with her. | have urgent matters to discuss with her. How can she just refuse to see me?”
The fact that her own daughter refused to see her made Catlin beceven more furious.
Elliot frowned upon hearing her claim to be Stephanie’s mother. “If | remember correctly, Mrs. Hart, you have
already broken off your relationship with her.”
“No, who are you to her anyway?”
Catlin’s anger was barely contained.
Even if they had broken off relationship, that was a matter between her and Stephanie. It was none of an
outsider’s business. to interfere.
“My relationship with her is separate from her decision not to see you,” Elliot replied.
Catlin’s breath caught.
Elliot's gaze turned cold. “If she doesn’t want to see you, then you won't see her.”
“I am her mother,” Catlin insisted.
“You're not. At least legally speaking.”
Sebastian had already taken the signed documents from both Catlin and Stephanie and had them legally

gave birth to her, and you're talking toabout the law?”
“You agreed to sever ties. You signed on the documentation and...”
Elliot paused slightly when mentioning the signatures, then looked at Catlin and continued, “Your writing was
quite large.”
Catlin was left speechless, feeling as if she had a mouthful of blood stuck in her throat.
She had signed in a fit of anger, and her signature was indeed quite prominent.
Thinking about how Stephanie had publicly announced it throughout Long Harbor, especially with her enlarged
signature, she felt utterly humiliated.
Taking a deep breath, she said, “Yes, | did sign. But | am still...”
“Mrs. Hart, the situation with the Hart Group is quite urgent, isn't it? Are you sure you want to be her mother?”
Elliot interrupted.
At the mention of the Hart Group, Catlin’s heart lurched.
Thinking about what Chad and Tyler had said on the phone about the troubles the company was facing, she felt
extremely

“Harassing her further is pointless,” Elliot replied coldly.
“What...” In an instant, Mayra’s face turned pale.
Catlin was furious, on the verge of exploding.
Just as she was about to say something else, she caught sight of Chris not far away.
Elliot, not wanting to say anything more to her, turned to leave. Catlin was about to call out to him.

Their expression calm and focused. The atmosphere was quiet, and at that moment, Stephanie appeared
particularly well- behaved.
Elliot couldn’t understand why the Hart family failed to appreciate a young lady like her.
Just then, Stephanie hugged her laptop and scooted closer to Sebastian. “Sebastian, can you take a look at this
for me?”
She frowned slightly, sensing that something was off about the image on her screen but unable to pinpoint
exactly what felt wrong.
As she spoke, she reached for the glass of bright red liquid in front of her and took a sip.

She had thought it was juice-the taste was so sweet!
Sebastian gave a slow nod. He had someone bring it over to warm up and drink in the evening. He had originally
