“Steffi, are you having some difficulties?” Kevin noticed her complex expression and expressed concern.

Stephanie’s mind was in turmoil. Looking at Kevin across from her, she didn’t know who to trust.

She was tired of being framed by the Peterson sisters and manipulated.

‘Would Dominick really do me harm? Could Kevin be plotting against me now?” she pondered.

All she wanted was the truth.
