Crossroads

Chapter 333

Stephanie saw her stepmother having an affair with another man, but everyone turned a blind eye and asked her not to tell her father.

“They said Courtney needed to hype up popularity for a movie, so she flirted with those young handsome guys. Diana even told me not to upset my dad. I don’t know why. My dad is cheated on, but they don’t care.”

Stephanie stayed in Caelorium for a week. She thought Molly must have gone back to Havencrest, but to her surprise, Molly was still in Caelorium. Molly had rosy cheeks, which showed that she was living a very comfortable life.

As soon as they met. Stephanie started complaining.

Molly’s rosy cheeks proved her happy life. She was surprised to hear the gossip, asking, “Doesn’t your dad care about it? In fact, considering Courtney’s identity, she is not suitable for the entertainment industry. It is a bit unusual that your father agreed to let her develop in the entertainment industry.”

Stephanie’s face darkened. “Courtney is very capable. She pleases the Reed family. So, my dad lets her develop her own career

“Develop her own career?”

Molly felt a little strange. After thinking for a while, she asked Stephanie back. “Your mother was a planist, right? And you said that your father didn’t agree with her going out for performances.

“That’s right. It’s so unfair.”

Stephanie got angry “Courtney can develop her own career and travel around, but my mother was told to stay at home when she just got married. This is the difference between how a man treats his wife and his lover!”

Seeing her so angry, Molly suddenly laughed out loud.

“Actually, that’s not what I meant.” Molly felt that it was difficult for her and Stephanie to talk about love relationships,

“Your mother was from the distinguished Clark family. I have also seen her photos. She was beautiful and had a good temperament. Logically speaking, your father was not good enough for her. How could he restrict your mother’s work?

Stephanie’s biological mother, Madison, was an internationally renowned pianist. She was a stunning beauty with an amazing figure and was very influential in the country. So, she had countless suitors, but in the end, she married a poor boy and never showed up again, which surprised people deeply

“My mom married the wrong person. Stephanie no longer held a grudge when she mentioned the past. “And my grandpa favored my dad. I don’t understand why it’s like this

Molly’s way of thinking was obviously different from hers. “Your father must have been under a lot of pressure when he married your mother?

“I have no idea.”

Stephanie realized that she didn’t know much about her family. When she was a child, they never quarreled in front of her, and her grandfather liked to bring her to live with the Clark family, so Stephanie didn’t know anything about her parents.

She was a little annoyed. “Never mind. Diana also told me not to interfere.”

Seeing how depressed she looked, Molly didn’t ask any further questions.
