Crossroads

Chapter 204

“Oscar won’t hurt me.”

In a fit of anger, Vincent retorted, “And has Dominick ever hurt you?”

Stephanie froze, unable to respond.

Too much had happened recently. Her mind was in turmoil, and she didn’t want to think about it anymore.

She stood up from the sofa and walked past Vincent, not wanting to discuss this further.

Watching her leave, Vincent darkened his face with rage. He shouted after her, “You too think Dominick is heartless? You’ve spent nearly a year with him, and you still don’t know what kind of person he is? Everyone says he’s ruthless and cold–hearted, but Stephanie, you have no say in this?

‘I have no say? Really?‘ Stephanie thought. ‘What kind of person is Dominick? Nobody understands him, and no one knows what he’s scheming

Her steps were slow as she walked out of Breeze Villa. She strolled along the corridor, ignoring the beautiful lotus pond and greenery around her. Her mind replayed all the rumors she had heard about Dominick,

She had heard many things about him but knew very little about the man himself.

“Has something happened recently?” A voice suddenly came from behind her.

At first, Stephanie thought Vincent had followed her, but when she recognized the voice, she paused to think for a moment.

“Is there something you need?” She didn’t answer the question but instead asked calmly.

The person who approached her was the butler, Brad, an elderly man who had served the Wellington family for over thirty years. He was responsible for looking after George and had a say in both household and business matters. Despite his authority, he was always courteous.
