Crossroads

Stephanie sat by the dining table. In front of her was a sumptuous meal. She didn't eat much, for she had no appetite.

Her face was tense, and she was upset.

Stephanie stood up, ready to go to the living room to question Dominick, but she had a chill of fear, afraid of knowing something bad.

"What are you thinking about? Is it your:

up at Stephanie and felt that Stephanie Vincent, who was sitting opposite the cable, finished his meal and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He looked u looked a little strange, so he spoke to her in a bad tone.

Stephanie was stunned.

Only then did she remember that she sneaked back to Wellington Villa. It was almost 7AM. Diana must have gotten up.

Stephanie would be scolded, so she became even more depressed. She wondered, 'Forget it. Maybe it will be better to admit my mistake!

Vincent, lend me your phone.

"Stephanie, did you come back on your own initiative or

"Hand over the phone." She didn't bother to waste time on Vincent, so she urged him Vincent did not lund over his phone. Instead, he looked at Stephanie with suspicion. "I am asking you seriously now. Did you come back voluntarily! This is very important"

"I sneaked back, and I will be scolded. What a nosy man! Hurry up and give me your phone."

Stephanie didn't think too deeply about it. She just thought that Vincent might gloat ev over her misfortune.

Vincent raised his eyebrows and smiled, as if he was somewhat satisfied with her answer. He then generously took out the mobile phone from his pocket and handed it over. However, at that time, a maid rushed towards Stephanie, accompanied by a familiar mobile phone ringtone

"Mrs. Wellington, there is a new call on your phone"

screen.

The maid brought Stephanie her own cell phone, so she didn't need to use Vincent's. Stephanie took the vibrating phone and glanced at the scre looking guilty.

It was Diana's call Tell her that you and Dominick are going to elope, and tell her to stop making trouble. Diana is quite.. Vincent couldn't help but complain. Vincent thought, 'Diana is quite inexplicable.

Stephanie glared at him, warning him with her eyes to shut up.

Stephanie nervously tapped the answer button on the phone. “Diana," she called out obediently.

Upon hearing her voice, Diana did not get furious. She just said in a very calm tone, "Come back."

Stephanie held the phone in her hand, feeling tense for a moment.

After a moment of hesitation, Stephanie whispered, "Diana, I want to stay at Wellington Villa" Her voice was low, as if she was feeling extremely guilty about having made a mistake.

Stephanie's timidity enraged Vincent.

Stephanie was arrogant at Wellington Villa, but now she was so as so obedient. Fe Fortunately, Dominick and Scott were in the living room.

Vincent was dissatisfied. "Stephanie, you are a grown-up. Will you divorce Dominick if Diana tells you to?" Vincent yelled at Stephanie with a sterni face, not caring at Diana on the other end of the phone could hear it.

He wanted Diana to understand that if she weren't Stephanie's aunt, they wouldn't have tolerated her like this. Did Diana really think that anyone could bully them!

Sorffi, come back immediately" Diana sounded a little angry.

*+" Steplaator had a conflicted expression and tried to explain. Dominick is not that difficult to get along with. He's just not very enthusiastis. towands people. Duna, if you get to know him, you will accept him. Dominick is different from Gary...

Diana serined to be irritated by somerling and retorted hastily. "He'veven worse than Gary

1227 PM Clupter 221

"He is the son of Sawyer and Mary. I don't believe he is a good person."

Stephanie didn't know how to respond for a moment. She could feel Diana's anger. Every time she mentioned the Wellington family. Diana would lose her temper, which was confusing Since Stephanie didn't say anything else, Diana took a few deep breaths and softened her voice. "Steffi, I'm doing this for your own good. Dominick is not suitable for you..."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

I know whether he is suitable for me or not Stephanie didn't mean to contradict Diana. She almost blurted out immediately.

Just as she finished, Diana hung up the phone. Stephanie looked at the screen and subconsciously wanted to call back, but in the end, she put the phone on the table and leaned back in the chair, with an expression of struggle and loss.

Seeing her sad face, Vincent shouted impatiently, "What's the problem between Diana and the Wellington family?"

"I have no idea...

Annoyed, Stephanie frowned and kept trying to recall whether her aunt had any conflicts with the Wellington family, but she had no recollection.

"Diana dislikes Dominick's father a loc Stephanie was unfamiliar with Sawyer, Dominick's deceased father.

"Sawyer. She repeated the name, but it didn't occur to her anything

"Sawyer!" Diana on the other end of the phone had an extremely ugly expression. She repeated this name with gritted teeth. Overwhelmed by rage, she kept tightening her grip on the phone.

Diana was a little confused and tense. She stamped her feet back and forth in the living room while muttering anxiously. "We can't match the Wellington family. Don't try to harm us again, I must make Steffi cut off all ties with Dominick. I will stop her from having any contact with them again!"

When Brad, who was occupied in the main house, heard from the servants that Stephanie had returned and that Vincent and Scott had also also come early in the morning, be curiously wanted to go to Breeze Villa. Halfway through his journey, a male worker ran towards him and said that a woman called George

"Mr. Wellington's cell phone number hasn't been used for many years"

Brad was a little bit unconvinced at first, but his men didn't dare to lie. After thinking for a while. Brad asked in a deep voice, "Who is it? Did he give his name?"

"Yes, she said her name is Diana

"Diana?

Brad was surprised. This was Stephanie's aunt.

Something puzzled him even more. "How did Ms. Clark know Mr. Wellington's cell phone number?"

Ever since George officially announced that Dominick would take over the group, his mobile phonen number had not been used frequently in the used past ten years. Gradually, for official business, and even some old friends, they just contacted the landline number of the main house of Wellington

Villa.

George was a nostalgic person, and it was not difficult for them to maintain a mobile phone number. As long as they charged the phone regularly and prepaid the phone bill, they could keep the number as a commemoration.

Brad thought for a while and sent the servant away. "Give me the phone and go back to work"

He turned around hastily and went back to the main house.

n the magnificent living room of Wellington Villa, spirited George in a black and gold-threaded suit was sitting in the middle of the sofa. Leaning sideways, he was busy with the invitations to be used for the baby's one-month banquet.

"Grandpa. Ms. Clark called you and wanted to talk with you" Brad stepped forward and handed over a black cell phone that was in the middle of a George paused as he was sorting out the invitations and then raised his head, a hint of surprise flashing on his dignified face licad's expression was somewhat complicated. Diana said that she had something important to tell you?
