Chapter 127

“Stephanie, you better behave and never bring this up again…”

Since Dominick sternly warned her that night, Stephanie had been trying her best to be “unruly“. It seemed like she was deliberately going against him, challenging him at every moment.

It was a bright summer noon with the sun shining high outside.

The servants in Wellington Villa living room were busy preparing a lavish lunch for the arriving guests.

Early this morning, Vincent, Scott, and several men Stephanie had never met arrived at Wellington Villa.

These men were in Dominick’s spacious study, having some kind of meeting, Stephanie had no idea what it was about, and she didn’t bother

to know.

“Mrs. Wellington…”

It was lunchtime, and Stephanie walked gracefully over. Sandra, who was nearby, sounded surprised to see her.

Since Dominick reprimanded her that night, Stephanie had refused to dine at the same table with him.

As long as he was there, she would turn around and leave.

Dominick and the others were sitting properly at the dining table, yet to start eating. Scott greeted her warmly with a friendly smile.

“Long time no see. Will you join us for lunch?”

Stephanie smiled back at him. “I’ve already eaten.”

“But I ate a bit too much, so I need to exercise after lunch. She turned and glared fiercely at Dominick at the table, emphasizing her last words with an ambiguous tone.

Vincent and the others didn’t quite understand what she meant by post–lunch exercise and curiously wanted to ask Dominick. However, before they could speak, the clear and melodious sound of piano music filled the hall.

She skillfully played Chopin’s Nocturne on the black and white keys..

Stephanie played the piece effortlessly, without needing sheet music, remembering all. Her fingers moved faster, and she pressed the keys

The piano sounded beautiful, but the servants in Wellington Villa hall became anxious.

Scott and Vincent exchanged wary glances, and the others at the dining table looked nervously at Dominick at the head of the table.

Suddenly, a chill ran down their spines.

Yet, the piano continued smoothly, each note echoing through the room. They wondered how dare she play this piece at Wellington Villa…

“Enough…” He couldn’t bear it any longer and angrily stood up, causing the tableware to shake. Vincent and the others tensed up.

“Stephanie, have you had enough of this nonsense!”

Stephanie stopped playing only after hitting the final note of the Nocturne, satisfied.
