Crossroads

Chapter 48
Stephanie froze in place, her expression complex as she watched Dominick embrace Jessica and walk away.
Vincent offered a word of comfort, “Stephanie, are you alright?”
Stephanie lowered her head, her long eyelashes hiding the emotions in her eyes as she murmured, “I’m fine. It’s just a minor scrape.”
Vincent was frustrated. “I‘
“I’m talking about Dominick leaving with that Jessica. Don’t be too sad.”
“Who’s sad? Why should I be sad?” Stephanie, as if her feelings had been pinpointed, snapped her head up and yelled at him, “My right hand fingers are hurting so much I could cry. Let him do whatever he wants. It has nothing to do with mel”
Vincent was left speechless and thought, ‘This woman is stubborn as a mule. I clearly saw the hint of sadness in your eyes. After all, seeing your husband cozy up to another woman must stir some emotions!
The two of them then took the elevator down to the parking garage together.
Vincent couldn’t help but nag Stephanie. “Didn’t I tell you to go to the top floor? Why did you end up on the 35th floor?”
“I saw Jess… Never mind!” She frowned, unwilling to finish speaking
Vincent walked to his car, opened the door, and grumbled at Stephanie, “Didn’t I’ve always told you that women should just be more obedient? If you had just tolerated Dominick’s scolding just now, everything would have been fine. Instead, you fronted off with him…”
He pondered, ‘But come to think of it, not many people actually dare talk back to Dominick like that. If it were someone else, that person
would have been beaten and carried out by now.”
Stephanie’s expression turned even grimmer at the mention of Dominick. “He’s always so gentle with his Jessica. But why does he lash out at me every time he sees me? What did I do to offend him? It’s not fair!”
Vincent found that odd as well.
Dominick was usually indifferent to others, and it took a lot to truly anger him, but his reactions were always different when it came to
Stephanie.
Vincent got into the driver’s seat and suggested, “You should go back to Wellington Villa and find a way to make up with Dominick…”
“I did nothing wrong!” Stephanie looked defiant.
Just as she was about to get into the passenger seat, a figure suddenly hurried toward them.
It was the Wellington family’s bodyguard. “Mrs. Wellington…”
The bodyguard seemed very anxious as he asked, “Mrs. Wellington, have you seen Mr. Wellington?”
Stephanie kept a straight face and did not reply.
Vincent rolled down the car window and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Upon seeing Vincent was there as well, the bodyguard respectfully called out. “Mr. Hayes.”
The bodyguard quickly explained, “We were with Mr. Wellington at the club practicing boxing all day. About ten minutes ago, someone from
the Flaming Bar called Mr. Wellington, saying that they couldn’t reach Mrs. Wellington on the 35th floor.”

With that, the bodyguard looked at Stephanie strangely and continued, “Mr. Wellington looked very grim. He hung up the phone, grabbed his car keys, and rushed over here. We didn’t know what happened, but Mr. Wellington sped and ran red lights all the way on the mountain expressway. He even nearly collided with another car…”
