Crossroads

Chapter 248

Oscar and Molly were frantic, searching everywhere for Stephanie.

They had gone to Wellington Villa, but the guards only told them that Stephanie had been there and left

"She left?" Molly questioned urgently, grabbing the middle-aged guard. "When did she leave!"

The guard, clearly uninterested in dealing with her, replied dismissively, "About 20 minutes ago"

He glanced back at the security booth where two documents lay on the counter and, raising his voice in irritation, added, "She made a huge scene here, refusing to sign the divorce papers,"

"Divorce papers? Molly echoed, her brain struggling to process the information.

As soon as the words left her mouth, Oscar stepped forward, his cold demeanor radiating an intense aura. With a swift motion, he grabbed the guard's collar with his left hand and delivered a hard punch with his right, causing the guard to wince in pain, his teeth stained with blood.

"Who the hell are you? The guard's face twisted in agony as he bent over, coughing violently. Meanwhile, Molly watched in horror as he spat out a bloody tooth She turned to Oscar, now understanding that when he said he and Dominick were equally injured the night before, he hadn't been exaggerating. "Help! Someone come out! We have trouble at the gate the guard shouted into his radio in a panicked voice.

Oscar stood tall and unyielding at the gate of Wellington Villa, his face a mask of cold indifference. When Molly looked into his eyes, she saw a darkness and detachment that made her realize he was not a man to be trifled with Molly, unable to match his composure, grabbed Oscar's hand and pulled him towards their car. "Oscar, finding Steffi is more important right now. We can deal with this later.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Her words were a rushed plea, but Oscar complied. Once they were both in the car, Molly, her movements uncharacteristically quick, started the engine and sped away as if escaping a nightmare.

As she drove, she kept glancing nervously at the rearview mirror. She could see a large group of people pouring out of Wellington Villa, making her heart pound hard in her chest. After a while, the Wellington family's head butler appeared and issued his orders. With that, the two or three dozen strong house staff retreated in an orderly fashion.

Finally, Molly breathed a sigh of relief However, she was still puzzled. "What was that guard talking about, something about divorce papers?"

She turned to the back seat where Oscar was sitting. "Do you know anything about this?" She paused, but before he could respond, Molly's expression shifted to one of anger and disbelief.

"Could it be that? Those people from the Wellington family are going too far! This is blatant bullying! They use her and then discard her. How could they bring this up now, knowing how fragile Stephanie is! They're deliberately pushing her to the edge. Bastards!" She was so furious she couldn't help but curse out loud No wonder Oscar had resorted to violence, How infuriating!

Now even more anxious, Molly scanned the area as she drove, desperately trying to figure out where Stephanie could be. They checked all the places Stephanie might have gone, the Innovate Group's offices, her old apartment, and even around the Nelson family's neighborhood, but found no trace of her.

"Ms, Reed, you watched her grow up. D Diana also Do you have any idea where she might go!" Molly, at her wit's end, called Diana in a panic.

very worried when she heard that Stephanie was missing. She thought seriously for a while and said, "Whenever she was unhappy. she would go to the cemetery to see her mother and grandfather, but since she got married, she never told me anything that made her unhappy, so I didn't know," she said the last part in a low voice, feeling very ashamed for never sharing Stephanie's worries.

"What do we do now!" Molly hung up, feeling more distraught. "She's so weak, and she didn't have breakfast. Now, it's already noon and she probably hasn't eaten anything. Havencrest is so big, with so many people and cars. If she's wandering around aimlessly, it be dangerous for her. What if she gets hit by a car and ends up in the hospital. She couldn't even bear to finish the thought.

Pulling the car over, she turned to Oscar, who was still in the back seat and urged him frantically, "Oscar, think of something!"

"She went to find Dr Dominick he replied calmly, his face devoid of any emotion.

At the mention of Dominick, Molly's temper flared again. "Those people from the Wellington family are really heartless, talking about diverse at a time like this. They should all rot in helli

"Do you think the surgery in Serenburg messed up his brain? What's his deal! Does he really want to divorce Stephanie! Don't forget, he was the one who shamelessly forced her to marry him in the first place. He's just a scumbagi"

Molly ranted as she drove and glanced at Oscar's calm reflection in the rearview mirror from time to time. His composed demeanor, in stark contrast to her panic, only added to her frustration, and she finally fell silent.

Molly couldn't fathom why Dominick hadn't made an effort to reach out to Stephanie with his return. Love was such a delicate matter, understood by so few in this world.

And Oscar, what was his role in all this?

He remained an enigma With a buzz, someone's phone chimed with a new message.

Molly snapped back to attention, noticing Oscar in the backseat typing away on his phone with one hand.

She perked up. "Is it about Stephanie!"

"She's at Flaming Bar."

Molly's excitement bubbled over. Then let's go there now!"

Flaming Bar was famous in Havencrest, frequented by celebrities and dignitaries alike. It was also one of Dominick's own establishments.

"Hold off on looking for her, Oscar calmly advised

"What?" Molly was puzzled, and a bit frustrated. "Why shouldn't we go find her, Oscar? Honestly, don't om understand what you all are scheming. Sure, you might be good at strategizing and planning ahead, but right now, I just want Stephanie to be safe."

"Not right now," Oscar repeated, maintaining his calm demeanor despite Molly's agitation.

Tilting his head to the side, he decided to ignore Molly.

Oscar stared out the car window, seeming to see something at the intersection. He looked almost bored e yet anticipatory, as if waiting for something. His long fingers traced the same word on the cool glass repeatedly, which was "Babe".

Molly suddenly relaxed, furrowing her brow as she studied him intently.

She was somewhat irritated; he didn't seem concerned about Stephanie at all!

"If Babe wants to see Dominick, then let her, Oscar finally said lightly, as if responding to Molly's unspoken concern.
