Crossroads

"That year, the landlady mercilessly kicked me out and threw my luggage onto the road as rubbish. You can never understand the humiliation and helplessness..."

Stephanie sat on the hospital bed, lowered her head, and whispered about the past.

"Diana and I just left Reed Villa, and we were quite strapped for money, so we lived in a low-rent apartment. I applied for housing in my senior year of high school. Diana cooked at home to save money. That day was my birthday, and she wanted to make fried food for me. Unexpectedly...

Stephanie's voice trailed off. "The house was on fire.

"When I rushed back from school, the fire in the kitchen had been put out. The landlady immediately kicked us out and asked for a compensatory payment of 4,000 dollars, but at that time, we only had 160 dollars..."

Stephanie looked at them intently. Dominick and those young heirs from rich families would not understand how helpless and humble one was without money. Dignity was nothing in front of money.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Diana's right arm was burned, but she wore a long-sleeved T-shirt to hide the injury from Stephanie.

They had no money to pay for the compensation to the landlady, so they had to endure insults and curses.

Diana couldn't pay the medical fee, so she endured the pain from the burn.

"That night, we huddled on the street corner like homeless people, not knowing what to do. A kind person gave us hot meals, let us stay in her house temporarily, and lent us money so that Diana could go to the hospital for treatment of the burn..."

Stephanie paused for a moment, and a trace of complexion flashed across her face. She tugged at the hem of Dominick's clothes.

"I accidentally caused this bleeding because of my carelessness..." Her voice was low, dripping with pleading.

She guessed that there was something wrong with the mango juice that Regina gave her that day, and she knew that Dominick and the others could definitely figure it out. However, there were some things that she was unwilling to reveal.

Stephanie had a grateful heart. She could remember someone's kindness forever.

She was a little worried. After all, Dominick and the others were not ordinary people. If they wanted to deal with Regina, she could never change their minds.

"Why don't you remember the person who harmed you?"

Dominick stood beside the bed, looking down at her side face with sharp eyes. He suppressed his anger and suddenly spoke coldly.

Kevin had treated Stephanie like that before, but after he had saved her once, she could actually calm down and talk to him.

"My heart is so small. Why should I remember these unhappy things to annoy myself?"

Stephanie looked up at Dominick. Her eyes were clear and bright.

Dominick pressed his lips tightly and fell silent for a moment when he looked into her eyes.

After listening to what Stephanie had just said about the past, Vincent and Scott were a little surprised and didn't speak anymore. They looked at each other and finally looked at Dominick Chapter 62

How to deal with this matter depended on Dominick.

"Dominick, can you let her go just once?" Stephanie tugged at the hem of Dominick's clothes and begged him in a low voice.

This was the first time she begged him.

But she did this for an outsider.

Looking into her eyes, Dominick was furious.

But he didn't shake off her hand. Instead, he stepped forward, bent down, and whispered in her ear.

His warm breath blew on her sensitive neck, and Stephanie tensed up instantly. Dominick murmured, "Stephanie, if I do something bad to you one day, will you forgive me like this..."

Stephanie was stunned, forgetting to react for a while. His meaningful words echoed in her mind.

What did he mean?

When she looked up, Dominick, Vincent, and Scott walked out of the ward, leaving her sitting in confusion...

the hospital bed. She looked at their backs Vaguely, she heard Scott ask, "Jessica is also in this hospital. Should we go to visit her?"

"She has been discharged from the hospital."

Stephanie saw the nurse closing the door, and she could no longer hear their voice.

She looked down at her belly in confusion.

Actually, there was one thing Stephanie didn't say.

"Regina is Jessica's biological mother..." She thought that Dominick might never know about this.

Stephanie suddenly smiled self-mockingly.

She probably didn't need to worry about Regina at all. Even if Dominick didn't listen to her, Jessica would persuade him.

Dominick was in the hospital corridor, and his mobile phone suddenly rang The head office in Havencrest had some urgent businesses. He gave instructions as usual with a cold face. Scott and Vincent walked side by side with him.

"Just pretend to know nothing?"

When they entered the elevator, Dominick had just hung up the phone, and Vincent couldn't help but ask.

They all knew very well that Regina was responsible for Stephanie's coma due to bleeding Just let her go like this? It was not like the Wellington family's style.

Scott raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Dominick beside him.

"I'll deal with it."

10:41 Sat, 22 Jun Chapter 62

Dominick replied coldly with an expressionless face.

Vincent heard this and didn't ask any y more questions. The three of them got out of the elevator and went about their business.

"You can't even do such a trifle welll"

In Caclorium, a middle-aged woman and a young woman sat face to face in a milkshake shop opposite the north gate of Elite High School.

young woman cursed with an angry look on her face, "I told you to put the whole package of medicine in the juice and let her drink it.."

The young

"Betty..." Regina kept her head lowered and called the young woman opposite with an embarrassed expression.

"Shut up!"

Jessica seemed to be in a rage. She slammed the table and stood up from the chair.

"I have told you many times not to call me that agrestic name. Do you have Alzheimer's disease, se, or are you helping Stephanie deal with me?"

"No, I didn't." Regina was nervous, and she immediately stood up.

"Jessica, you...you asked me to drug Steffi, but I... This pricked her conscience..

"You have the nerve to speak for her. I'm your daughter!"

Jessica glared at Regina, feeling dissatisfied. After learning that Stephanie had bled out and fallen into a coma in the hotel that night, she had thought that the child in her womb would die. Unexpectedly, the child was saved.

In a rage, Jessica yelled at Regina, "Mom, we depend on each other. I have suffered so much after being away from home for so many years. I care about you. But you always help outsiders. Do you know that Stephanie snatched my husband? Dominick was supposed to be my husband."

Regina found that Jessica had become more and more arrogant since she became a movie star. Looking at the well-dressed daughter in front of her, she looked extremely humble.

"Jessica, I know. I'm a loser, and I can't give you a good living environment, but...

Looking at her daughter, Regina cautiously said, "Jessica, you told me earlier that you were pregnant and Steffi wanted to harm your child, but she is not that kind of person. If her husband really didn't love her, she wouldn't be throwing herself at him."

"You know Stephanie very well, huh?" Jessica lost her patience and yelled at Regina angrily.

Immediately, with a cold face, she took out a packet of unknown powder from her latest season LV bag and slapped it on the table.

She raised her chin and ordered arrogantly, "Stephanie is brainless. She probably hasn't suspected you Or hasn't yet. You go to the hospital tomorrow and bring her soup. This time, you must put all the medicine in the soup!"

"No, this is murder." Regina panicked when she saw the medicine package.

"Even if you are really discovered, you will be okay, Dominick will protect you for me.

Jessica's voice was dripping with confidence and pride. She seemed to be tired of communicating with Regina. She grabbed her bag, turned around, and walked out of the milkshake spop.

Regina was anxious. She ran out to chase Jessica.

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

A young man in a suit walked towards her and happened to bump into Regina.

"The stop is closed for business today."

Regina said apologetically to the man in front of her, but her gaze fixed on Jessica in front. She stepped forward to catch up and persuade.

her.

"Boss, I'm here to order 10,000 cups of milkshakes." The young man did not leave. Instead, he stepped forward, stopped in front of her, and smiled brightly at her.

Regina was stunned when she heard the man wanted 10,000 cups of milkshakes.

She turned around in panic. "You..."

"You forget me so quickly. Six years ago, I often came to your milkshake shop..."

The man looked gentle, but his tone was not so friendly.

"I came here today to order 10,000 cups of milkshake, but there is something different this time...

He smiled meaningfully and then handed the handwritten letter to Regina. "All these milkshakes must be made before sunset today." "This... It's possible." There was only half a day.

The man stuffed the letter into Regina's hand and reminded her in a cold voice,

"Some things must be done even if they are impossible."

Regina held the high-quality paper in her rough hands and unfolded it tremblingly.

There was a faint smell of ink, and the latter was written by an vritim expensive pen. The Xandwriting was love good. Regina could even see the anger and warning of the letter writer from it.

[If you dare do it again, I'll ruin your daughter's life.]

Looking at the words "ruin your daughter's life, Regina panicked.

When she saw the signature "Dominick Wellington" on the right side of the paper, her face instantly turned pale.

"He knows everything..."
