Crossroads

Chapter 104

“Mrs. Wellington asked about you earlier… It seems like she wants to borrow money…”

The company had a quarterly meeting today. There was supposed to be a celebration dinner tonight with other executives, but Dominick didn’t go to the hotel. He went straight back to Wellington Villa.

He thought, ‘Borrow money?”

Dominick’s eyebrows furrowed slightly when he heard Sandra’s words. He thought, ‘Stephanie wants to borrow money from me?’

“Mrs. Wellington said she had an emergency and had the driver take her out about half an hour ago,” Sandra reported truthfully.

Dominick immediately took out his phone and dialed her number, but his expression turned dark when Stephanie didn’t pick up.

Stephanie didn’t answer. She was furiously slamming the car door and running out, too angry to bother with the phone in her bag

“What are you doing here?”

“Molly, I’m here with friends. Why do you care?”

Across the street, a man and a woman were arguing heatedly. With a stern face, Stephanie crossed the street and quickly walked towards them.

“Wade, this place is expensive. You have money to come here, but you make my mom pay for the down payment!” Molly was furious.

Havencrest’s Blossom Club was the original location for Molly’s class reunion. She had to skip the event due to financial issues. Now, she ran into Wade, who was here messing around with a bunch of friends.

Wade looked arrogantly stylish with bright red hair, a black studded leather jacket, and ripped Jeans. He yelled, “Your mom is always crying and making a fuss at home. It’s annoying! I brought some friends out. What’s it to you?”

Molly was gritting her teeth in anger. “Fine, it’s none of my business. Then give back the money for the house down payment! Why did my mom have to pay for your wedding? Give back the 140 thousand dollars!”

Hearing Molly’s demand for money, Wade’s friends were curious and started whispering, “Did Wade use his sister’s money for his wedding?”

“Didn’t Wade say he made a lot of money in the stock market?”
