Crossroads

Chapter 114

Back at the hotel, Stephanie was restless.

She had a feeling that something was off.

George’s sudden coldness and the odd look on Vincent’s face just didn’t add up…

The door was knocked on, and she hurried to open it. Seeing the man in front of her, she struggled to hide her complex emotions. “Vincent, what did Grandpa say to you?”

“Pack your things. You’re on a flight back to Havencrest in an hour.” Vincent didn’t answer her question. Instead, he gave another order in a deep voice.

“Fly back to Havencrest in an hour?” Stephanie looked up, meeting Vincent’s eyes. She pondered for a moment, biting her lip, asking, “Why? Did Grandpa ask you to send me away from Serenburg?”

Vincent’s face changed slightly. He turned his head, avoiding her gaze.

His voice was cold as he reminded her, “Just get ready. If you’re hungry, grab something on the plane. We’re on a tight schedule, so let’s…”

“Wait, did something happen to Dominick?” Stephanie stepped forward, quickly cutting him off.

“Vincent, what did Grandpa tell you? it must be about Dominick, right?” Stephanie’s eyes were clear and insistent as she pressed on.

“Nothing.” He was unwilling to say more.

“Vincent, I know the accident was my fault. Dominick got hurt protecting me…”

“It has nothing to do with the accident!”

Looking at her guilty expression, Vincent felt somewhat irritated and retorted.

Hearing this, Stephanie was even more confused. “Then what is it about…”

“We’re not sure yet…” He paused, his tone growing heavier as he murmured, “Turns out Dominick has been hiding things from us all these years. Vincent spoke these words very softly..

He had no idea how to deal with that…
