Crossroads

Stephanie walked down the stairs quickly without even taking the elevator. She lowered her head and walked through the crowd with big strides. Her steps were thustered.

When she just walked out of the lobby on the first floor, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching from behind.

Stephanie's first reaction was that it was Dominick. She changed into a complicated and angry look. Stephanie turned her head and was about to speak. But the other one asked more urgently than she did, "Stephanie, how is Mr. Reed now!"

Stephanie stopped. She watched Molly rushing toward her. Stephanie was surprised.

Mally supported her waist with both hands. She was out of breath because of running "I just heard Scott say that Mr. Reed suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage yesterday afternoon. He said it was quite serious. Don't worry too much. Mr. Reed will definitely get better." Molly kept comforting Stephanie while panting Stephanie didn't know why Molly had stayed in Caelorum for such a long time. Her tense nerves seemed to have found an outlet. Stephanic wanted to cry. She took a big step forward and hugged Molly.

Molly was petite. She felt a litle uncomfortable being hugged so tightly Molly thought, 'Stephanie usually didn't take the initiative to get close to others. She is probably really flustered now."

"Molly, I'm not my father's daughter. They are all lying to me. I'm the one who hurt them all." Stephanie's long hair covered the sadness in her eyes. She leaned her head on Molly's shoulder, as if she had found someone to confide secrets to. But it was more like Stephanie was talking to herself.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Molly couldn't hear her subtle mutterings. But she felt that Stephanie seemed very panicked and self-blaming Molly was about to comfort her. But as soon as she looked up, she saw two familiar handsome figures at the elevator exil in front of her.

They were Dominick and Vincent Molly saw Dominick glancing at them. But Dominick did not come over. Instead, he walked in another direction.

Vincent walked towards them confidently.

Stephanie was a very sensitive person. She might have noticed the footsteps approaching from behind. She was used to hiding her vulnerability. So. she let go of Molly and returned to her previous indifference.

If it weren't for her red eyes, Molly would have thought that it was just an illusion.

Everyone around Stephanie said that she was lucky to have a good background. However, in fact, Stephanie just pretended to be living a good life. She never complained to others.

Vincent was very sure that Stephanie's eyes were red because she cried. Now, he was very cautious. Vincent stood three feet away from them. He dared not to get close to them.

Vincent wondered, "Women are really scary creatures sometimes.

Stephanie told Molly about Cary's surgery in a normal tone. She took Molly to the hospital restaurant to find Diana and Samantha. She just ignored Vincent.

There were approximately 1500 feet from the in-patient building to the hospital cafeteria. They walked side by side. Molly watched Stephanie's expression worriedly from time to time. After hesitating for a while, Molly spoke. "Stephanie, do you know that Courtney was arrested by the police?"

Courtney was Stephanie's stepmother, Molly immediately shared the news with Stephanie Stephanie looked surprised. It was apparent that she didn't know about this. Molly continued to say, "I heard it from Scout. It should be accurate,

"Last midnight, multiple police forces in Carlorium arrested Courtney. It seemed that Courtney had committed some serious crime. The paparazzi took photos of her being handcuffed, But Scott said that those photos were taken down and not allowed to be broadcast. I wonder if Courtney has offended some big shot"

Courtney was in the entertainment industry. It was normal for the paparazzi to reveal her sandals. People could see celebrities' photographs in newspapers. But now it was obvious that the media was not allowed to participate in this matter.

Stephanie's expression became more serious.

Molly was very curious. But she was more concerned about Stephanie. "Stephanie, is Courtney's matter related to the Reed family? Will it affect Chapter 348

you?"

Stephanie just shook her head gently. She said nothing.

Molly actually wanted to ask Scott about this matter. But Scott told her to stay out of this. He looked serious, too.

Molly turned her head. She glanced at Vincent who had been following them.

Vincent was about three feet away from them. He could hear what Molly said. He was more surprised about Courtney being arrested.

"Who captured Courtney?" he asked stupidly.

Molly could tell that Vincent knew nothing about this. She immediately turned her head and ignored him.

Although Stephanie didn't like Vincent, Samantha was very much fond of him. When they arrived at the hospital cafeteria, Samantha pulled Vincent to sit next to her. She asked Vincent to order food amicably,

"Mr. Hayes, there's nothing good to eat in this hospital cafeteria. We've really troubled you these past few days."

Vincent smiled friendly. He said, "Mrs. Reed, just call me Vincent"

Seeing that Vincent was not as arrogant as other rich people, Samantha liked him even more. She smiled happily, "You are really well-educated."

Stephanie hadn't eaten since yesterday afternoon. Diana had ordered a bowl of hot soup for her.

Stephanie was really hungry. When Samantha was chatting enthusiastically with Vincent, Stephanie was concentrating on eating without saying a word.

Molly said a few words to Samantha and Diana politely. Then, she glanced at Stephanie. She could sense that Stephanie was worried about something. Samantha was still talking to Vincent, "Vincent, there is one thing I have to ask you for help. Although I am old and cannot keep up with the times, there are some things I still can understand,"

Samantha's tone suddenly became sad. Her voice was choked with sobs.

"Gary is really seriously ill this time. I know that even if he can save his life, he will never be able to go back to work in the future. We are going to lose our company."

Samantha held Vincent's hands. She pleaded, "Gray established this company from scratch. Steffi doesn't understand business matters. Could you help Steffi to get the company's equity? I really don't want to tell Gary in person that his company has been taken away by someone else

Samantha had flattered many wealthy families in her life. But this was the first time she had asked for help like this.

"You don't need to worry about the company. As early as a year ago, Dominick began to control all of the marketing channels. The company has no real power and is completely dependent on the Wellington family, Vincent said confidently "What did you say?" Stephanie stared at Vincent fiercely..

1-1 mean Vincent immediately realized that he had said the wrong. He stuttered due to nervousness Even Molly and Diana, who knew nothing about business, were shocked.

Stephanie lost her appetite. She threw the spoon back into the bowl. Stephanie thought, "Dominick was already prepared. He wanted me to beg him."
