Chapter 90

Stephanie felt dazed and couldn’t quite remember how she had left that dreadful underground basement.

The echoes of boxing and fighting sound, piercing screams, and the sound of bones cracking still lingered in her ears.

In the quiet night, a champagne–colored Rolls–Royce was parked in the dimly lit alley. Someone opened the car door for her. She stood by the door, glancing to her left.

At this moment, hurried footsteps approached. Someone respectfully reported, “It’s confirmed. After waking up at the private hospital in Serenburg, he flew back to the country, likely returning to Pearson Villa in Frostvale.”

Stephanie didn’t know what

Dominick strode towards her expressionlessly. Under the dim street lights, he appeared even more upright and imposing, exuding a heavy

to conceal her inner unease..

Dominick reached the car door, staring complexly at her restrained profile.

With a bang, he suddenly slammed the car door shut.

“Take Mrs. Wellington back.” His cold voice echoed in the spacious and eerie alley.

Stephanie was startled for a moment, but she didn’t lift her head. The car quickly started and gradually moved away.

Until the car slowly turned the corner of the alley, she couldn’t help but look back.
