Chapter 44

“How could that be possible? This is clearly your WhatsApp…”

Claire handed her the phone, and Courtney’s face tensed up immediately as she looked at the screen.

“I usually let my agent handle my Twitter and WhatsApp,” Courtney said, sensing someone was tampering behind the scenes, and she quickly called her agent, who confirmed he hadn’t used WhatsApp today.

Panic was building in Courtney’s eyes.

She suddenly thought of something. She knew that some people could easily get her passwords….

“Courtney, are you saying you didn’t send these message, then who did…”

Claire was puzzled, but just as she finished her question, a tall figure strode by in the corridor to their left.

Claire locked eyes with the man’s deep gaze and froze.

Dominick glanced at them coldly, his hand clutching a stack of documents, and walked past without a word.

Claire and Courtney shivered under his icy glare. It was a clear warning.

“Is it him?”

Claire’s voice shook as she clutched Courtney’s hand. “Courtney, what do we do? Does he know about the time we abducted Stephanie?”

She quickly tried to reassure herself, “It can’t be. Jessica just got back, and he hasn’t paid any attention to Stephanie since…” If Dominick had known, he would’ve acted by now.

But just now….

Courtney’s mind was in turmoil. It was obviously Dominick who had sent Claire a message on

WhatsApp.

“Why has he suddenly asked me to

bring the kid over to Wellington Villa?” Panic gripped Claire.

Courtney’s face was also tense with anxiety. “I don’t know.”

They wondered if Dominick wanted Claire to marry Kevin. But there was no reason he would orchestrate such a thing…

‘What is he really up to?’

Meanwhile, Stephanie was murmuring, “Who knows what’s going through his head, he’s so moody and hard to please, that damn Dominick…”

Her day had been a series of frustrations. Soaking in the hot bath, she slapped the water angrily, causing bubbles to splash around. Gary and Kevin had already left, but Stephanie had lost her appetite, skipping dinner and sulking alone in her bedroom for the evening.

She had hoped a bath would soothe her anger, but instead, she found herself growing more agitated.

Kevin and Claire were close to getting their marriage license, Gary was blatantly favoring the Peterson sisters, and Dominick was angry her without reason…..
