Stephanie sat quietly in a corner, feeling bored as she glanced around the room. Suddenly, she noticed a comple

tense gaze directed at her.

She instinctively stood up and began to walk toward them. But as soon as Stephanie straightened up, she saw Vincent laughing his heart out, and she had a vague feeling that he was mocking her.

Dominick, like always, didn’t say much. He just lifted his half–full glass, clinked it with Scott’s, and drank it all in one go.

Stephanie then slowly sat back down, feeling she might have been overthinking. It was just three men drinking together, and Vincent’s sinister laugh surely meant he was joking about her again.

Vincent was indeed badmouthing her again. “Stephanie’s gotten so fierce and stubborn because of you. What man would want to marry her now? If Dominick ever divorces her, I bet she’ll never remarry. Let me know if that day comes. I want to witness it firsthand…”

Afterward, he laughed maniacally. It was obvious that his grudge against Stephanie had run very deep.

Although Vincent thought it was unlikely, the idea still gave him a twisted sense of pleasure. He pondered, ‘Let’s see how arrogant Stephanie can still be if she’s no longer with Dominick!‘

Scott had just gone through a divorce and felt heavy–hearted. But after seeing his buddies laughing so carefreely at the party, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Dominick, I heard from Mr. Benjamin Hayes that you agreed to let Vincent be the godfather to your twins?” he asked somewhat teasingly. Vincent remembered this and said with great emotion, “I’m about to become a godfather.”

Dominick then looked at his two childhood friends with a blank expression. He noticed that Scott’s smile had a touch of smug satisfaction, and Vincent was too enthusiastic.

Dominick irritably ignored them and thought that the only sane friend he had left was Oscar, but Oscar…
