Crossroads

Chapter 78

“No news from the guy”

“There’s only a national highway near that abandoned chemical plant, but despite our road controls and searches in recent days, we haven’t found any suspicious individuals…

The elongated dark gray Bugatti smoothly traveled on the highway, Originally, Dominick was picking up Stephanie from the hospital today, but the atmosphere in the car was tense.

The back seat was spacious and well–equipped, with two rows of seats facing each other like small sofa seats. At this moment, the bodyguard sitting opposite Dominick was solemnly briefing him on some matters.

Dominick’s face was cold, indicating his bad mood.

“Since there are no clues over there, then start the search from the Gordon Hotel…” he instructed coldly.

Dominick narrowed his eyes slightly as he spoke and glanced casually at Stephanie beside him.

And this bodyguard, who had been working for Dominick for many years, immediately understood and nodded. “Got it.”

The fact that the mysterious guy could reach the abandoned factory before them to rescue Stephanie made Dominick believe that he had likely been observing Stephanie’s daily life for some time now.

Dominick speculated that this mysterious guy had been following Stephanie closely in recent days, probably witnessing Isaac forcibly taking her away from the hotel and then following them all the way to the abandoned factory.

Stephanie sat quietly in the corner, listening silently to their conversation.

She knew they were talking about the mysterious guy who had saved her at the abandoned factory that day.

And Dominick seemed not to care about discussing

ng these matters in front of her, or perhaps it was intentional.

Stephanie could feel Dominick’s urgency to uncover the identity of the mysterious guy, almost as if he were seeking revenge….

And yet, the mysterious guy had saved her, truly becoming her savior.

Looking up, she suddenly wanted to say something, like advising Dominick not to scare off the mysterious guy if he found him.

But before Stephanie could speak, Dominick questioned her sternly, “What’s your relationship with him?”

Stephanie was taken aback by his cold tone and felt angry.

“I told you, I don’t know him.”

However, Dominick didn’t believe her at all, chuckling lightly. “Don’t know?”

“What do you mean!”

She could sense the insinuation in his tone.

“Why are you so eager to find him? He hasn’t offended you. Why are you acting so hostile?” Stephanie’s face puffed up with anger. She did not hide her displeasure as she confronted him.

Stephanie always felt that Dominick’s intention to find the mysterious guy was ill–intentioned as if the man who saved her had annoyed
