Crossroads

Chapter 122

Dominick and the others had to rush back to the country, and Hayley, along with some senior executives from the Serenburg branch, came to see them off. She smiled at Stephanie in front of her and spoke with a gentle and clear voice. “As Dominick is still recovering from his injuries, please take care of him for me.”

Yet, when others heard Hayley ask Stephanie to take care of Dominick, it sounded rather odd.

“Got it,” Stephanie said with a little expression on her face while nodding.

“Hayley, you shouldn’t have said that.” Vincent, who was also leaving on the same flight, spoke up. As soon as he said that, Hayley’s smile immediately stiffened.

He remarked, “Dominick’s wife is a real jinx, always bringing bad luck wherever she goes. I don’t think we should count on her to take care of Dominick. Last time, she even tied up a nurse.”

“Damn you, Vincent! How dare you call me that?!” Stephanie glared at him angrily. If Dominick wasn’t there, she would have definitely rushed over and kicked Vincent for his loose tongue.

At that, the senior executives, who were there to see them off, chuckled while Hayley’s tense expression relaxed.

Vincent was a very skilled socialite. By saying that, he acknowledged Stephanie’s status and replaced “please take care” with “we shouldn’t

count on“.

It was impossible for those in the business world not to have some scheming and cunning.

Although they were all smiling, certain things became clear in their minds instantly. If someone like her was accepted by Dominick’s inner circle, it meant they all had to acknowledge her as well

Dominick’s left hand tightened around Stephanie’s waist slightly as he reminded, “Time to board.”

The others then offered wishes like “Have a safe trip, take care” and didn’t dare delay him, standing in place to watch them leave.
