Crossroads

Chapter 78

"No news from the guy"

"There's only a national highway near that abandoned chemical plant, but despite our road controls and searches in recent days, we haven't found any suspicious individuals...

The elongated dark gray Bugatti smoothly traveled on the highway, Originally, Dominick was picking up Stephanie from the hospital today, but the atmosphere in the car was tense.

The back seat was spacious and well-equipped, with two rows of seats facing each other like small sofa seats. At this moment, the bodyguard sitting opposite Dominick was solemnly briefing him on some matters.

Dominick's face was cold, indicating his bad mood.

"Since there are no clues over there, then start the search from the Gordon Hotel..." he instructed coldly.

Dominick narrowed his eyes slightly as he spoke and glanced casually at Stephanie beside him.

And this bodyguard, who had been working for Dominick for many years, immediately understood and nodded. "Got it."Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

The fact that the mysterious guy could reach the abandoned factory before them to rescue Stephanie made Dominick believe that he had likely been observing Stephanie's daily life for some time now.

Dominick speculated that this mysterious guy had been following Stephanie closely in recent days, probably witnessing Isaac forcibly taking her away from the hotel and then following them all the way to the abandoned factory.

Stephanie sat quietly in the corner, listening silently to their conversation.

She knew they were talking about the mysterious guy who had saved her at the abandoned factory that day.

And Dominick seemed not to care about discussing ng these matters in front of her, or perhaps it was intentional.

Stephanie could feel Dominick's urgency to uncover the identity of the mysterious guy, almost as if he were seeking revenge....

And yet, the mysterious guy had saved her, truly becoming her savior.

Looking up, she suddenly wanted to say something, like advising Dominick not to scare off the mysterious guy if he found him.

But before Stephanie could speak, Dominick questioned her sternly, "What's your relationship with him?"

Stephanie was taken aback by his cold tone and felt angry.

"I told you, I don't know him."

However, Dominick didn't believe her at all, chuckling lightly. "Don't know?"

"What do you mean!"

She could sense the insinuation in his tone.

"Why are you so eager to find him? He hasn't offended you. Why are you acting so hostile?" Stephanie's face puffed up with anger. She did not hide her displeasure as she confronted him.

Stephanie always felt that Dominick's intention to find the mysterious guy was ill- intentioned as if the man who saved her had annoyed

Dominick.

Dominick stared at her stubborn eyes, his face darkening with anger.

Gritting his teeth, Dominick lowered his voice, "I'm going to find him and properly thank him for risking his life to save my wife!"

Dominick felt that if they were just acquaintances, how could the person possibly risk his life, alone, to venture into a def of brutal criminals to save her?

Stephanie, hearing his sarcastic tone, felt even more aggrieved.

She had been abducted because of him, and now that someone had saved her, he was questioning her.

"I don't know who he is. It was too dark that night. I couldn't see his face." She had been terrified at the time, not in the mood to see his face.

But that man.

Although she didn't see his face, his voice was very y soft and gentle. When he leaned in for the first time, inexplicably, she wasn't so afraid of him.

In the end, he even called her "Babe," which was her nickname. Only her mother used to call her that when she was little, no one else, unless....

But she thought it was impossible.

Thinking of some unpleasant memories, she became even more restless, angry at Dominick for interfering in her affairs!

Stephanie stared into his deep eyes, puffing her cheeks, and shouted at Dominick, "Even if I know who he is, so what? I don't want to say. It's my privacy!"

Vincent and the opposite bodyguard were impressed by her courage, then sighed inwardly.

The bodyguard glanced secretly at Dominick, his expression very unpleasant.

The atmosphere in the car instantly became tense, even more oppressive than before.

Dominick suppressed his anger, scrutinizing her fiercely. With a stern face, Stephanie seemed to be defying him, unwilling to give in at all.

The car arrived at Wellington Villa smoothly. Dominick slammed the door open and walked out.

"Stephanie, you better not seduce other men!"

He stood outside the car, turned back, staring directly at her stubborn face inside, his voice cold and stern, with a warning.

Stephanie was momentarily stunned by his sudden warning, her face turning pale.

Meanwhile, Dominick, seeming extremely frustrated, turned and strode towards East Villa

"A stranger approaching you must have ulterior motives. Dominick is just being cautious..." Vincent explained softly. "He just..." He wanted to say he cared about her.

Stephanie kept a straight face, ignoring Vincent, and quickly got out of the car, but her footsteps were heavy, and she was clearly in a bad mood.

Vincent looked at Dominick's imposing figure to East Villa, then at Stephanie heading into Wellington Villa, muttering in frustration, Chapter 78

"Dominick was already unpredictable, but he's become even harder to understand since marrying Stephanie...

Originally, Vincent thought they were just arguing, so he should walk away to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

But George said he had something to discuss with him, so Vincent had no choice but to follow the servants of Wellington Villa to the living room.

As soon as he stepped into the living room of Wellington Villa, Vincent was surprised.

There was a piano.

In the luxurious grand living room, on the left side, there was a plano, a custom-

made black Steinway grand piano, which was very valuable...especially in Wellington Villa.

He wondered who dared to have a piano in Wellington Villa, Everyone knew Dominick hated pianos.

Turning his head with a pensive gaze, Vincent glanced at Stephanie on the other side.

Vincent was curious, wanting to gossip a bit. "Vincent, come over here," George, leaning on his cane, walked in and called out to him.

"Although many high-ranking executives from the group have pleaded for Randall and Isaac, Dominick's attitude is very firm. He won't go easy on them."

George inquired about the handling of the Bretherton family's affairs, and Vincent had no choice but to speak the truth.

"Do you want to get involved in this matter?"

Vincent looked at George across from him, hesitating to speak. "This time, Isaac did this to Stephanie. Dominick is very angry. I don't think it's worth damaging your relationship for Randall and Isaac."

"When have Dominick and I ever had a good relationship..." George snorted with an old and hoarse voice.

George picked up the coffee pot and poured himself some coffee with the golden hue of the coffee cup. The rich aroma of coffee wafted around. Pouring Vincent a cup of coffee, George looked up, asking, "Did Maria and Danielle go to the hospital to see Steffi today?"

Vincent was momentarily puzzled, not understanding why he suddenly asked this.

Then he realized, "Did you send Maria and Danielle to see Stephanie?" George took a sip of his coffee, his expression solemn, murmuring, "This matter involves Steffi. The people from the Bretherton family should apologize to her in person."

Vincent knew that although George was stern and strict, he was deeply emotional. Wyatt, who had committed suicide, was George's former subordinate, but...

"This time, Randall and Isaac really went too far, nearly causing a fatal accident. While everyone often labels O Dominick as cold-hearted, he just wanted to prevent them from stirring up trouble again..."

"Dominick has plenty of methods to prevent them from causing trouble again.

coffee cu George said, setting down his coffee cup with a-solemn tone.

Chapter 78

"The Bretherton family indeed crossed a line and deserved reprimand, but there's no need for extreme measures..." George's eyes dimmed slightly as he spoke, his tone weighted with seriousness. "Let's set this matter aside for now."

Vincent understood George's intentions somewhat.

Dominick lost his father early, and his mother lived abroad for years. As George's only grandson, he om possessed astronomical wealth, academic prowess, and remarkable business acumen. Undoubtedly, he was a prodigy, but he was also excessively ruthless and indifferent.

He was indifferent to everything.

However, one couldn't say Dominick lacked empathy entirely. At least there were very few individuals he cared about.

He cared about the e one in Aurorastra, tra, unconscious from illness...

George poured himself another cup of coffee, its aroma filling the air. But as he held the small cup, he paused, lost in thought.

It wasn't until the coffee cooled that George finally set down the cup, seemingly losing interest in coffee as his mind wandered to another matter.

"Any updates from Aurorastra?" George suddenly asked in a deep voice.

Vincent had been pondering the same thing, looking up with a solemn expression and shaking it. "No.

"It's still the same as six years ago, lying in bed relying on machines to stay alive..."

A hint of helplessness crept into George's old eyes. "It's a debt owed by our family... Whatever is needed, just say the word, and we'll do our best...

"Dominick has already made arrangements." Vincent spoke softly.

Dominick harbored more guilt about this matter er than anyone else.

And for years, Dominick had been living in Aurorastra. His late return to take over the Innovate Group was mainly because of this matter.

For a moment, both men felt a heavy burden on their hearts.

No one wanted to mention the disaster of six years ago, es
