Crossroads

Stephanie saw her stepmother having an affair with another man, but everyone turned a blind eye and asked her not to tell her father.

"They said Courtney needed to hype up popularity for a movie, so she flirted with those young handsome guys. Diana even told me not to upset my dad. I don't know why. My dad is cheated on, but they don't care."

Stephanie stayed in Caelorium for a week. She thought Molly must have gone back to Havencrest, but to her surprise, Molly was still in Caelorium. Molly had rosy cheeks, which showed that she was living a very comfortable life.

As soon as they met. Stephanie started complaining.

Molly's rosy cheeks proved her happy life. She was surprised to hear the gossip, asking, "Doesn't your dad care about it? In fact, considering Courtney's identity, she is not suitable for the entertainment industry. It is a bit unusual that your father agreed to let her develop in the entertainment industry."

Stephanie's face darkened. "Courtney is very capable. She pleases the Reed family. So, my dad lets her develop her own career

"Develop her own career?"

Molly felt a little strange. After thinking for a while, she asked Stephanie back. "Your mother was a planist, right? And you said that your father didn't agree with her going out for performances.

"That's right. It's so unfair."

Stephanie got angry "Courtney can develop her own career and travel around, but my mother was told to stay at home when she just got married. This is the difference between how a man treats his wife and his lover!"

Seeing her so angry, Molly suddenly laughed out loud.

"Actually, that's not what I meant." Molly felt that it was difficult for her and Stephanie to talk about love relationships,

"Your mother was from the distinguished Clark family. I have also seen her photos. She was beautiful and had a good temperament. Logically speaking, your father was not good enough for her. How could he restrict your mother's work?

Stephanie's biological mother, Madison, was an internationally renowned pianist. She was a stunning beauty with an amazing figure and was very influential in the country. So, she had countless suitors, but in the end, she married a poor boy and never showed up again, which surprised people deeply

"My mom married the wrong person. Stephanie no longer held a grudge when she mentioned the past. "And my grandpa favored my dad. I don't understand why it's like this Molly's way of thinking was obviously different from hers. "Your father must have been under a lot of pressure when he married your mother?

"I have no idea."

Stephanie realized that she didn't know much about her family. When she was a child, they never quarreled in front of her, and her grandfather liked to bring her to live with the Clark family, so Stephanie didn't know anything about her parents.

She was a little annoyed. "Never mind. Diana also told me not to interfere."

Seeing how depressed she looked, Molly didn't ask any further questions.

Gary's condition had stabilized. The hospital staff said that he would be discharged in two days. Stephanie had been thinking about when she would return to Havencrest.

"Molly, how long will you stay here?"

Stephanie planned to go back to Havencrest with Molly, but Molly looked guilty, "Maybe in two days."

There happened to be a mobile milkshake stall on the right. Molly immediately rushed over and ordered two cups. Even if Stephanie was slow-witted, she could find out that Molly was hiding something from her.

"Molly, who have you been with these days? What are you busy with in Caelorium?

Molly landed Stephat hanie a cup of plain milkshake and held another one in her hands. She took a sip guiltily and confessed vaguely, I actually came bere with someone else...

Seplume frowned, "A man?"

Molly stuttered nervously, "Actually, it was just a misunderstanding. I don't know why it turned out like this. Her affair was discovered!

"Stephanie?

A middle-aged woman in the shop shouted in surprise, interrupting g their conversation.

Stephanie turned around and noticed that it was an hat it was an acquaintance,

*Regina, when did you open a store there?"

Stephanie let Molly go for the moment and walked up to greet the owner of the shop. She asked directly, "Your previous shop was in front of the school. The business over there should be better than there."

Regina looked embarrassed. With a reluctant smile, she made up an excuse. "Poor management. That's how business works."

"Hello, Regina"

Molly also recognized the owner of the shop in front of the school. Her shop used to be very prosperous, so it shouldn't have gone bankrupt They also noticed that Regina was much thinner than she was a year ago. The rent for the mobile stalls here was cheaper, but the daily workload was heavier. She did everything by herself and was exposed to the sun and rain, looking several years older.

Stephanie once worked part-time in the milkshake shop and received help from Regina. "How could that be? That shop was your home." Stephanie knew very well that the three-story building was Regina's house. The first floor was used for the shop, and the second and third floors were Regina's residence.

"That house has been sold: Speaking of this, Regina looked sad.

Stephanie thought of another woman. Is it because Jessica spends too much and she forced you to sell the house!" Regina was frugal, so Stephanie didn't think there was another reason to sell the house except for Regina's daughter, who was a celebrity.

"Stephanie, it was your fault. So, my mom lost her house!"Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Suddenly, a beautifully dressed woman appeared on the left, Jessica was holding her brand-name bag and wearing high heels, looking a bit aggressive.

"Stop talking."

Regina immediately pulled her daughter away for fear that she would cause trouble. She then turned to look at Stephanie with an embarrassed and complicated expression. Steffi, I'm sorry. Jessica is in a bad mood, so she said something nonsense_"

"It's not true."

Jessica cursed angrily. The house was forcibly taken away by Dominick. It was Stephanie who told him to

"Jessica, stop making trouble. You promised me to behave. We own Stephanie." Regina held her daughter tightly with her old and rough hands. When she looked at Stephanie, she felt ashamed and helpless. "Steff, we have done something wrong to you. I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against us. Jessica lost her father when she was a child. She has a bad temper, and I have no ability. Do not take her words to heart. Let's live a good life." As Regina spoke, her eyes became wel Stephanie stood there, at a loss for what to say, Molly pulled her arm and said. "Stephanie, let's go They didn't want to embarrass Regina, hey turned around and walked away with heavy steps.

"Stephanie, I will never let yo I you go. You have to pay a big price!

Jessica behind them was like a ferocious trapped beast, cursing loudly at their backs.

After being hidden by Dominick, Jessica couldn't find a job. She finally hooked up with Kevin and was waiting to see when Stephanie would be abandoned. However, Kevin suddenly became cold towards her, Jessica felt that her life was overshadowed by Stephanie, and it was all Stephanie's fault.

Stephanur was in a bad mood, and Molly wandered aimlessly with her until it was almost nightfall.

They leaned against the railing by the river. The night wind blowing along the river in this season was chilly to the bone Stephanie was mum from the cold wind. She was so so upari.

"Some people have to work hard just om to survive. After working hard for most of their lives and saving some money, they suddenly have nothing in their old age..." she murmured to herself.

"Molly, I don't know what Dominick did"

At the thought of how Regina held back her tears and her helpless look, Stephanie felt that she had let her down.

"Regina almost caused me to have a miscarriage, but I didn't really get hurt...

She worked so hard to make a living, but Dominick took everything from her easily." "Maybe Dominick has his own way of dealing with it." Molly didn't know how to comment.

"He's always like this, arrogant and conceited. He never listens to anyone or discusses with anyone. He lies to me all the time!"

Stephanie, who was trying to hold back, became more agitated, and she yelled at the river, "He lives upstains from me: Does he think I don't know?

He sneaked into my house in the middle of the night and gave me roses. I'm just waiting for him to have enough fun and tell me in person why he did this

Molly didn't understand what Stephanie meant. Stephanie had been enduring it alone for a long time, and her stubborn eyes were full of pain. She had been pretending to be strong

"Stephanie..." Molly called out to her softly.

were slightly red. After adjusting her mood, she said to herself quiedy. TTI find out that he has done something extreme, I will not Stephanie's eyes we forgive him."

Molly couldn't hear clearly what she said at the end, but suddenly a dazzling headlight shone towards them in the night. Under the strong light. Molly looked up and wore a shocking face.

A white car in front was rushing straight towards them. "Stephanie, get out of the way!" Molly screamed and pushed her, Stephanie fell down. As soon as she came to her senses, she turned around.

Stephanie was completely stunned, watching the car rushing towards Molly. The driver in the gar was m hanking the horn frantically, making a sharp and piercing sound. Claire was insane. With a blank look in her eyes, she cursed like a madman, "Jessica, you bitch, go to hell."

There came a bang-

The car collided violently, and the metal was deformed.
