Meanwhile, Florence, oblivious to these occurrences, joyfully hummed while driving.
Upon arriving at the Hayes manor from the suburban mansion, she exited the car and noticed Matilda swiftly approaching with a stern expression. “Flore, how can you be so careless?” she asked.
Puzzled, Florence asked, “What’s wrong, Mom? Has something happened?”
Matilda almost slammed the phone in her face and said, “See for yourself!”
Frowning, Florence took over the phone, and her emotions surged when she read the news. “H-how could this be?” she asked.
“Is it true?” asked Matilda. Despite the netizen’s assertions, she would trust Florence if she denied it.
Gritting her teeth, Florence exclaimed, “It’s true, but why did Stephanie the b**h record our conversation and make it public? Is she trying to destroy
me?”
Matilda sighed and questioned, “Why are you so careless? Flore, haven’t you learned your lesson after all the trouble Stephanie has put you through? Aren’t you asking for trouble by provoking her since you know how c**g and malicious she is?”
Florence stamped her feet angrily and asked, “Ah! Stephanie is so infuriating! How can she be so shameless? Mom, what should I do?”

However, they realized that Stephanie had blocked them when neither his nor Matilda’s calls could reach her.
After briefly hesitating, they attempted to call Vincent, only to discover he had also blocked them.
To help Florence, they decided to visit Tranquil Garden. They were willing to swallow their pride to plead with Stephanie. However, their vehicle was halted outside the gate, and they could not gain entry.
Horace quickly exited the car and shouted, “Stephie, it’s Dad!”
Sadly, nobody came forward to open the door for him.
Once he got into the car, Matilda, with tearful eyes, roared, “If she weren’t a match with Flore, I would’ve killed her when we brought her over!”
Horace sighed and said, “Watch your words! You never know who might be listening!”
“I had to vent!” refuted Matilda, sniffing. “Flore had been so upset these days. Her heart isn’t feeling well, I think we should carry out the heart transplant
soon!” she continued.
Horace pursed his lips and said, “I’m afraid it won’t be easy since Stephanie is now under Vincent’s protection.”
Matilda responded with a ferocious look and said, “It might be challenging, but we still have to do it. Otherwise, why did we raise her? I can’t even meet my biological daughter!”
Horace lit a cigarette and said, “Well, the Jimenez family has never ceased searching for their biological daughter. Dealing with Stephanie sooner will be a way to eliminate this lingering threat.”
Matilda rolled her eyes and said, “Get it done, then!”
Horace nodded and replied, “I will”

Shaking her head, Stephanie replied, “I’m used to it”
Vincent consoled her tenderly, saying, “My darling Stephie, from today onward, I’ll shower you with affection, and you won’t need anyone else.”
Stephanie turned, embracing him. The rhythmic beating of his heart brought her an extra sense of comfort. “Vincent, promise me you’ll never leave,” she
said.
“I won’t. I’ll always be by your side to protect you,” promised Vincent
The next day, Florence sought bail, citing severe depression and delusional disorder.
The police station reached out to Stephanie, and she promptly indicated that Florence had to undergo treatment in a m e n a l hospital for two weeks if she wished to be released on bail.
Florence never anticipated being admitted to a m e n a l hospital and despised Stephanie for it. Yet, she knew this was her sole opportunity to turn things
