Chapter 40
"Steph!"
The mother and daughter were not giving in to each other when suddenly a gentle female voice chimed in, "Mrs. Bishop, Steph, are you going to deliver something to someone? If Steph doesn't want to go, don't force her. I'll help deliver it... I'm free anyway, and I drove here, so it'll be a quick trip."
Hearing this, there's a hint of mockery in Stephanie's eyes.
Nice try, she wanted to know what Ms. Klein was up to visiting all of a sudden! Well, now she knew!
"Alright then! Since you're so willing to help me with this, I really appreciate it... This lunchbox contains lunch; it's quite a bother, thank you."
Katherine felt that things were going way too smoothly!
She immediately put on a big smile and spoke in a friendly tone, "No problem at all. If you need any help in the future, just let me know... Leave this to me. I'll head over right away." Stephanie smiled back and said, "Go ahead."
Katherine left with a smug expression, feeling on top of the world. She could actually get a chance to approach Sebastian so smoothly... It felt like a dream come true.
After she left, Marilyn frowned, "Steph, how could you let her deliver lunch to Seb!"
Stephanie snapped back, "Oh, now you know that she's not a good person! Then why did you let her in and even drink her soup?"
Marilyn choked at her words, speechless.
At this point, it was obvious that Katherine's intentions were too clear. She didn't even ask for the address after taking the thermos, which could only mean that she already knew about Sebastian. It was very likely she came just to get close to him...
"It's my fault for being too naive and slow. If you saw through her, why didn't you stop her? You actually let her deliver lunch to Seb..."
"Well, mom, glad to see you're awake and realize that she's trying to get close to your future son-in-law!"
"Stephanie! I'm being serious with you!"
Seeing her mother about to get angry, Stephanie had to soften her tone, "Mom... Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Sebastian was known to be a playboy, and sending such a beautiful woman to him was probably a treat for him!
She didn't care at all. All she wanted was to become the wife of Skyline Corporation's president. As fore which women Sebastian chased, it had nothing to do with her!
"How can it be okay... She's Ms. Klein after all, and her status alone is a threat to you. Those rich andContent (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

powerful families are good at using family alliances... What if Seb
suddenly likes her? What will we do!"
Marilyn complained anxiously, but Stephanie didn't take it seriously.
Seeing her indifferent attitude, Marilyn was so angry she nearly fainted, "Stephanie! I'm telling you now, go find Seb immediately! I don't need you to accompany me this afternoon, you go be with Sebastian,
Sta
by his side and don't leave him for a moment!"
"Mom, what on earth do you want... Why should I go and stay by his side?"
Before she could finish, her face turned pale and she clutched her chest, looking extremely pained.
Stephanie was frightened, "Mom! What's wrong! Where do you feel uncomfortable? I'll go find the doctor now!"
Marilyn quickly grabbed her, "Steph... Every time I think of Miss Klein going after Seb and how your future support could be taken away by others, I feel stifled..." This is just ridiculous! Is she trying to push her to the wolves?!
