Chapter 69

Stephanie sneaked into the venue of the cocktail party.

She didn’t quite understand why she had come, just feeling a bit concerned and restless deep down.

She thought, “Stella and Kevin will definitely attend the Innovate Group’s anniversary celebration, so there is a chance Claire may show up.

Stephanie really wanted to know what Dominick and Claire were hiding. “Is the helping Claire to plot against me?”

To her disappointment, Claire didn’t show up tonight.

The cocktail party had officially begun. “The man on stage is the current CEO of the Innovate Group,” a stranger next to her whispered, pointing towards the podium.

Then he lowered his head, glanced at Stephanie, and smiled, “Ms. Carter, I heard you’re in a romantic relationship with him.” He chuckled amiably as if merely curious.

Stephanie felt a bit awkward. This man mistook her for Jessica Carter.

Unable to produce an invitation, she could only play along..

At this moment, the lights dimmed, and Dominick stood on the podium, spotlights highlighting his outstanding demeanor, instantly becoming the center of attention.

Stephanie stood among the crowd, occasionally hearing whispers of admiration from women around her, all eyes fixed on the stage.

The distance between them wasn’t much, but Stephanie keenly felt the disparity at this moment.

The

gap

between her and him reminded her of Diana’s admonition.

Dominick was

s the kind of man she shouldn’t fall in love with

Falling for him would only lead to irreversible consequences.

What kind of woman will a man like him belong to?” Stephanie didn’t know, but she was certain it wasn’t her.

As she pondered, a scorching gaze from the stage suddenly directed towards her.

When she met his deep gaze, Stephanie felt a tremor.

Dominick’s speech was brief. He quickly returned the microphone to the host and strode down from the stage as if realizing something.

“Dominick.” In a soft voice, a woman rushed into his arms as soon as he stepped down from the stage.

Stephanie, standing afar, looked dazed for a moment. She hesitated momentarily, turned around, and walked straight towards the exit.

“Why did I even come… Stephanie muttered self–deprecatingly to herself. Her head was down, and her footsteps hastened.

“Go away.” Dominick’s voice was cold and displeased.

“Dominick, I’ve been receiving those anonymous threats recently. It’s frightening Jessica clung tightly to his arm, her voice soft and gentle, evoking a sense of pity.

“Ms. Carter, please don’t bother me.”
