After scolding Dan, Tine left the storeroom. As she was at the end of the hallway, she tried calling Denise again.
Like before, she thought no one would pick up the phone. However, the call strangely got through this time.
Finally, there was a place for Tina to vent her anger.
"Denise, why didn't you pick up my calls? The maid in the mansion had told me that everything went as planned. Why—"
"This is Steven."
A low, deep male voice rang out before Tina could continue. "Denise is asleep. I'll be keeping her phone from now on. Mrs. Howard, I already know everything that happened today."
He paused for a while before continuing to talk remotely, "Denise is my sister, not a tool for you to use to fight for your games. She'll no longer contact you or be related to you from now on. I also hope that you'll never contact her anymore. She's a pure-hearted girl that'll trust everything you say, so I'll never let her contact you people anymore."
After that, Steven hung up the phone.
As Tina listened to the busy dial tone from her phone, she squinted her eyes. 'So Steven had stuck his nose in this matter. That explains it.'
No wonder Denise did not contact her even after the plan succeeded.
Tina paused and thought for a while. After that, she made another call. This time, the person she called was Kate.
Truth be told, she had another plan today. To avoid attention, she looked for Kate to help her.
"Hello." The call got through.
