Crossroads

Chapter 58

“Stephanie, we’re just concerned about your health. You don’t have to be as prickly as a hedgehog,” said Vincent, puzzled by Stephanie’s blunt personality. While she wasn’t as docile or coquettish as other women, she wasn’t someone who would go to this extent just to push

them away.

“I am a hedgehog. I can’t handle your concern, you big shots. Please leave, Stephanie retorted, her clear eyes suppressing strong emotions as she faced Dominick at the door with an unfamiliar coldness.

“Have you had enough, Stephanie?” Dominick eyed her, his face dark and unpleasant.

“I’m the problem here?”

Stephanie remembered that night, her eyes reddening as she struggled to control her emotions, “Dominick, every time something happens, it’s always my fault, right?

“What do you want to lecture me about this time? Accuse me of eating recklessly, almost causing a miscarriage, and claim I’m unfit to be a mother? Or maybe you want to talk about how Kevin stayed with me all night and we did something, implying I’m promiscuous? Every time, you’ll only blame me.”

She glared at him fiercely. “Whatever I do is wrong to you!

“I called you, I begged you, and yet I was still wrong..

“What did you say?” Dominick’s cold voice made it seem he was on the verge of exploding from anger.

“Dominick, you’re the one who gave medicine to Steffi”

However, Kevin had a different perspective. With a dark face, he rushed to Dominick, grabbing his shoulders in agitation. “Do you have any humanity? She wouldn’t threaten your relationship with Jessica, yet you still want her dead!”

“Get

et lost!” Dominick was impatient, especially with Kevin’s concern for her. He interrupted, “I told you, you have no say in my affairs with

her!”

Seething with anger, Dominick swung his fist directly at Kevin’s chest. The frail nobleman was no match for Dominick. After he took a solid punch, he immediately doubled over in pain.

“Dominick, just because you’re from the Wellington family doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want. If anything happens to Stephanie, I won’t let you offi

Kevin warned as he clutched his chest in pain, refusing to compromise.

“You won’t let me off?” Dominick sneered, each of his words dripping with contempt. “With your capability, you think you can compete with
