“Stephanie stole my man….
“I was forced to leave home, and these past few years have been so difficult because of her,” Jessica cried, tears streaming down her face as she tightly held the hand of the middle–aged woman across from her. “Mom, you really have to help me…”
“Is she really the daughter of our city’s wealthiest man?”
“Yes, her dad is Gary Reed. Why would a wealthy young lady come to our shop to work the night shift? What does she want? There are things I’ve been too afraid to tell you. Every time she comes to our shop, she’s aggressive, mocking me behind my back. She even said her family’s wealth could leave us destitute. I’m scared of her, but this time, she’s gone too far…”
Her voice grew increasingly agitated as she choked with sobs. “Mom, I really have no other choice. Stephanie wants to ruin my giving me any way out, and she wants to harm my baby…”
What?”
y life! She’s not
Regina was filled with anxiety upon hearing that Stephanie planned to ruin her daughter’s life and even hurt her unborn grandchild.
Her heart sank, trembling as she asked, “Betty, are you…pregnant?”
“Where did Stephanie go? She’s pregnant, yet she’s running around.”
Vincent sat bored in the back seat of the car, propping his chin with his right hand as he gazed out the window at the setting sun, muttering
softly.
Suddenly, he remembered something and turned to Scott beside him. “Dominick’s phone rang a few times just now. It must have been a call from Stephanie. Should we tell him?”
The car had entered the highway and they were already far from Elite High School.
The Roberts family’s driver hurried over, saying there was an emergency at home. Scott and Vincent rushed over to see what was happening, leaving a car outside the school for Dominick, along with his cost and phone.
Scott also glanced at the sunset outside the car window and said lightly, “It’s past six. Dominick should already be in the car, and he’ll drive straight to Royal Park Hotel. There’s no need to inform him about Stephanie. He’s already aware of where she’s staying…”
Vincent thought that made sense. Before they came, Dominick had already instructed him to check on Stephanie’s whereabouts. But…
“But what if Stephanie has some other trouble and goes looking for him? The last time when I took Stephanie to hang out at Lockchain Tower, Dominick scolded me fiercely,” Vincent complained with lingering fear.
Since that incident, Vincent had been particularly cautious whenever Stephanie was involved.
Scott had also heard about the incident at the Lockchain Tower and chuckled, “Dominick doesn’t like Stephanie appearing in public. You’re
just asking for trouble!”
“How would I know? He’s too strict with that witch…”
Vincent sighed with emotion, “Look at Jessica. Her advertisements are everywhere now, and Dominick has made her incredibly famous. It’s
such a stark difference in his treatment for them.”
Vincent couldn’t understand why Dominick insisted on hiding Stephanie away.
