Crossroads

When in love, a woman was always worried about whether her man I loved her or not.

In fact, if she wanted a man to fall in love with her, she had to learn to love herself first.

Then, she could become a bright spot in the eyes of others and get their love.

Love was too extravagant, so women could not love someone easily. Whoever fell in love first would be destined to pay more and lose more miserably in the end....

Stephanie was not a hopeless romantic or an emotional woman.

However, probably because she had been living too peacefully in Wellington Villa recently, she suddenly remembered Diana's opinions on love that she had taught her in the past.

"Grandpa, I want to visit my aunt in the nursing home today."

After having breakfast with George early in the morning, Stephanie mentioned this.

George did not object. He glanced at Dominick opposite him and said, "The preparation for the 50th anniversary of the Innovate Group is almost finished. If you have time, just accompany her..."

"No. I don't want to bother him." Stephanie refused instinctively.

Dominick's eyes turned gloomy slightly, and he looked straight at her.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Stephanie felt uneasy under his gaze. She lowered her head and explained, "Vincent promised to accompany me before. He has a lot of free time."

Dominick thought, 'She would rather have Vincent with her than me...

Around 8 a.m., Vincent drove to Wellington Villa reluctantly.

"Take care of her."

Dominick looked in a bad mood and said to Vincent coldly.

Vincent sat in the driver's seat and held the steering wheel. Dominick's cold voice made his scalp pins and needles. He looked up and saw Stephanie gesturing for him to start the car quickly in the rearview mirror.

"What's wrong with you, Stephanie? Dominick is idle at home today. Why did you ask me to drive you to the nursing home?"

After driving away from Wellington Villa, Vincent shouted at the woman in the back seat.

Stephanie knew she had embarrassed him, so she remained silent.

Vincent was livid. After thinking about it, he found something was wrong.

"Stephanie, Dominick has not officially met your aunt, right?" he asked while driving.

"Yes," Stephanie answered honestly.

Vincent slammed the brakes on, and the car almost hit the lamppost on the opposite side.

"What are you doing?" Stephanie was frightened.

Vincent was angry.

ngry. He glared at her and said, "Stephanie, are you crazy? It's your first time to bring a man to meet your aunt. Do you know what this means?"

No way! No wonder Dominick looked at him with murderous eyes just now.

"Don't be so excited. It's just a trivial matter." Stephanie felt somewhat guilty under Vincent's gaze.

She turned to look outside the car window and murmured, "I'm familiar with you, so can you pretend..."

"I'm not familiar with you!"

Vincent was in a rage. "What do you want me to pretend to be? Be Dominick and your husband? No way! I don't want to court death."

He felt that he had fallen into Stephanie's trap. He decided to drive her back to Wellington Villa immediately.

Stephanie saw Vincent turning the steering wheel and planning to return to Wellington Villa, and she immediately became anxious. "Hey, Vincent, just help me once. I really can't think of another way...

"I haven't told my aunt about my divorce from Kevin and the fact that I married Dominick because of an unexpected pregnancy. How can I tell her these things? She has a heart condition..."

Stephanie whispered and held Vincent's arm with her right hand, showing a rare expression of frustration and helplessness.

"Vincent, please help me this time. I will tell my aunt about my divorce, but can you not mention my y pregnancy and my marriage to Dominick in front of her?"

"Are you going to hide your marriage to Dominick from your aunt?"

Vincent's face darkened. He looked Stephanie up and down, asking, "Stephanie, she will know this sooner or later."

"At that time, I had already left the Wellington family," she murmured in a low voice.

Vincent didn't hear her clearly. "What?"

Stephanie didn't speak anymore. Her clear eyes looked a little sad.

Vincent had known her for some time and knew that 5

Stephanie was so stubborn that she rarely asked for help. He was a soft hearted person...

"Stephanie, you can tell your aunt that I am an ordinary friend of yours. If you tell her that we have a relationship, I will expose your lies. Remember? We are just ordinary friends."

Stephanie smiled brightly at Vincent and patted him on his shoulder heavily with her right hand.

"I know. Vincent, I didn't realize expect you, a playboy, to be so caring."

"Shut up. I'm helping you because of Dominick, Vincent snorted angrily.

"Okay, okay," Stephanie smiled.

"I'll go to meet the elders. Maybe I should buy some fruits." Somehow, Vincent felt a little nervous.

There were some fruit shops on the commercial street opposite. Vincent parked the car on the roadside and got out of the car.

Sat, Stephanie sat in the back seat, watching with boredom as Vincent walked into a shop to buy fruit.

"No wonder he is so popular with women. He's very attentive..." she said to hersell.

Suddenly, Stephanie sat upright. She narrowed her eyes and looked towards the street on the other side.

It was them.....

Jessica and Claire?

"Claire looks really strange..." Stephanie quickly got out of the car.

sn't happen!"

"Jessica, don't talk nonsense. It doesn't The two women walked to a quiet corner of the alley, Claire looked livid and said in a high-pitched voice. She seemed to be very angry and warned Jessica

"You and my sister are both in showbiz. If you offend me, I won't let you li live in peace."

Jessica sneered, "Your sister? Humph, do you think I will be afraid of Courtney?"

"Jessica, I know that Dominick had ignored you recently, and everyone in showbiz knows your situation. Stop pretending to be noble. I' marry Kevin, and my sister is Mrs. Reed. Are you really going to go against us?" Claire stared at Jessica and said mockingly.

Jessica's expression slightly changed when she heard Claire mention Dominick, She got angry in embarrassment and yelled at Claire, "It is just a lover's quarrel between Dominick and me. None of your business.

"Claire, you want to be Mrs. Nelson. I'm afraid you might fall off before you can secure your position..."

"Shut up!" Claire overreacted.

She and Kevin had already gotten the marriage license, and the recent wedding preparations had gone smoothly. However...

Ever since Dominick came to her in person last time, she couldn't suppress her panic.

"You are in panic,"

nie. Jessica smiled in contempt.

"Claire, we are the same type of person. You don't need to pretend in front of me..."

Claire's face distorted as if she was being stimulated. "Jessica, stop talking nonsense, or don't blame me for being rude."

Jessica quickly took a document from her bag and threw it in Claire's face.

No you

"Claire, your daughter was not born to That girl was not Claire's biological childi Stephanie was shocked. She hid behind the lamppost and eavesdropped. She didn't expect to hear this.

Claire picked up the document. It was a birth certificate. Her face turned pale instantly, and her eyes were flickering with guilt and panic

"You have po no way to deny it."

Seeing Claire's expression, Jessica smiled arrogantly, "No wonder I think you look familiar. I've seen you before in Aurorastra.

"You asked Amanda to give you a surrogate daughter, and the sperm was Kevin's. Kevin would never expect that the daughter you brought back was indeed his, but you are not the child's mother..."

"Shut up! Jessica, shut up..." Claire's face was livid, and she yelled at Jessica excitedly.

Jessica smiled more and more proudly and continued, “Claire, I actually sympathize with you. You O are infertile. To keep kevin, you hired at surrogate from the underground market. Do you think you can marry him and enjoy the rich life by bringing back Kevin's daughter? Coincidentally, Amanda also worked for me illegally,"

"What on earth do you want?"

Claire tore the document in her hand into pieces and glared at Jessica with a ferocious look on her face.

"Claire, we can actually be allies," Jessica looked at her and said calmly. "You know that we all have a common enemy...

Upon hearing this, Claire narrowed her eyes. "Stephanie?"

"Stephanie has a dubious relationship with Kevin. Don't you think she is annoying?"

When Jessica said this, she emphasized the name "Stephanie", and her voice was dripping with hatred.

"Claire, now there is a chance to reassure you. I came up with the perfect plan. I lied about receiving an O anonymous threatening letter, and you helped me write an exaggerated letter written in blood. The reason for spreading rumors is that Dominick has implicated me. This way, he will definitely feel sorry for me.

Claire suddenly sneered, "Jessica, you figured out so many of my secrets just because you want me Stephanie... Dominick has neglected you recently, right? I won't help you."

Her refusal surprised Jessica.

what?

Jessica was shocked and confused at these words.

"Stephanie!" Claire murmured the name with a livid face. She stepped forward and whispered in Jessica's ear coldly.

"I advise you not to take action on her."

"Stephanie!"

After a while, Claire and Jessica left the alley. Stephanie stood behind the lamppost, looking confused.

She thought about what Claire had just said.

"Dominick has long known that the little girl is not Claire's biological daughter.

"Why didn't he say it?"

Kevin v vin was his cousin, Dominick did not tell him about this but even helped Claire marry him.

10:42 Sat, Chapter 65

Stephanie hated the two sisters, Claire, a third party, destroyed her previous marriage, and Courtney caused the death of her mother.

However, Dominick helped Claire suppress Stephanie....

"Stephanie..."

A familiar voice called her name repeatedly. Stephanie was in a daze. After a while, she finally came to her senses, Her expression became increasingly conflicted with diffe
