Crossroads

Chapter 39

“Ms. Carter, Halo Films has confirmed you as the lead actress for their first drama of the year, which is a remake of a blockbuster. It had been through a long selection process last year. You’ve just returned and landed this role. How do you feel now?”

Stephanie sat bored on the small sofa in her bedroom, watching entertainment gossip videos live-streaming news about Jessica’s return to the entertainment industry.

“Ms. Carter, since your debut six years ago, you’ve only played significant lead roles, and there have been rumors that you refuse ordinary roles. Everyone has been very curious about your scandals. Can you reveal the identity of the person behind you?”

“Ms. Carter, three years ago, you suddenly disappeared. Did you marry someone wealthy? Is your comeback because your husband supports your interests?”

Jessica smiled and didn’t answer.

She was wearing a light yellow suit with a chiffon long skirt, looking fashionable and elegant. When she was asked about the rumors, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, implying her shyness.

“Dominick is really good to her.”

Stephanie looked at Jessica’s face on the TV screen, which was almost identical to hers, and suddenly felt a bit depressed.

Stephanie never cared about entertainment gossip, but recently, she couldn’t help but pay attention to Jessica. She didn’t know if it was out of boredom or…concern.

She suddenly wanted to know more about Jessica. She felt that Jessica was at least her “rival”.

“Vincent!” Grabbing her phone, Stephanie called Vincent.

She didn’t dare to ask Dominick directly, but Vincent was different. He was casual, and she felt Vincent was much easier to get along with than Dominick.

Vincent was a little surprised when he received her call.

After thinking for a moment, he answered, “So, Stephanie, are you stimulated by the recent news? Are you jealous?”

He still had his usual playful tone, tinged with a hint of schadenfreude.

When Stephanie heard the words “jealous,” her face became grim.

She raised her voice to retort, “I’m not jealous! I just want to know if I really have a half-sister.”

Vincent had also suspected it before. “Stop making wild guesses. Jessica has no blood relation to you.

“Jessica has been an orphan since childhood. She was adopted by an elderly couple from Ceritha as a baby. She then went to college on Aurorastra, and Dominick met her six years ago in Nivalis…”

Stephanie’s expression was somewhat awkward. She also knew that Jessica was unlikely to be her blood sister. She just wanted to

find out her background.

But she suddenly remembered something and was puzzled. “Vincent, last time in Caelorium, you said Dominick went to visit her grave?

“You all thought she was dead and buried her in Caelorium. Jessica’s ancestral home is in Caelorium?” Stephanis felt it was just a coincidence that they were similar in this aspect.

On this topic, Vincent became somewhat strange, and his voice sounded low. “I don’t know about her ancestral home, but…when Jessica met Dominick, the topic they talked about the most was the high school in Caelorium…”
