“Stephanie!” A dark blue Bentley hastily pulled over on the roadside. Vincent leaned out of the car window, his gaze complex as he looked at the woman by the stone bench, his voice annoyed.

“Stephanie, you said you wanted to visit your aunt in the north of the city, but you were actually meeting up with Kevin Fire?”

“What?” Hearing Vincent’s voice, Stephanie immediately lifted her head, suddenly coming back to her senses.

“I just saw intimate gestures between you and Kevin with my own eyes. Vincent didn’t look at her again, his tone turning cold. “Get in the car. Your rendezvous is over. I have to take you back to Wellington Villa.”

Stephanie stood up and walked towards the car, wanting to explain, but she saw the fruit basket on the back seat, remembering the plan she and Vincent had made to visit Diana in the north of the city.

“Stephanie, don’t do things you shouldn’t do.” Vincent’s expression soured. Seeing her get into the car, he quickly started it, his tone ominously warning. “Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”

If Stephanie was truly seeing Kevin behind Dominick’s back, Vincent swore that even if she was pregnant with Dominick’s child, Dominick would not spare her. He would make her suffer immensely.

Because Dominick detested women who betrayed him.

Stephanie sat quietly in the back seat, listening to his words of warning.

Her gaze wandered outside the window, her mind in turmoil.

At this moment, Kevin saw Vincent coming to pick up Stephanie and leave. He instinctively wanted to follow, but in the end, he stopped.

Kevin was somewhat restless, and he couldn’t understand why.

Stephanie was his cousin’s wife now, and he shouldn’t have any improper thoughts, but… “What is the important thing she wanted to tell me just now?”

After Vincent dropped Stephanie off at Wellington Villa with a grim expression, he didn’t even say goodbye. He just drove off in a hurry.

The butler was puzzled to see Stephanie be back so soon.

He had planned to ask about the situation, but seeing her in a bad mood, he decided not to bother her.

Stephanie was not in the mood to visit Diana at the nursing home today. Initially, she wanted to go straight back to her bedroom. But she hesitated when she looked up at the delicate and thick door panel at the end of the corridor on the second floor.

She thought, “Dominick isn’t home now, so…

Dominick spent most of his time at home in this study. Stephanie had never entered the study before, but she thought if this man had any secrets, they would definitely be there.
