Crossroads

Chapter 329

In silence. Stephanie stared at Kevin, who had changed a lot.

"Stephanie, people always change... Kevin gave a meaningful and self- deprecating smile.

"If Dominick and I were just strangers, 1 might admire him, but we are cousins of similar age, and people compare me with him. I hate this the most, because I am always worse than him in all aspects. I have been eager to surpass him since I was a chuld.

"But this never comes true... Dominick is the only heir of the Wellington family. The Innovate Group is controlled by him, and no one can affect his position. No matter how hard others try, it is all in vain."

Kevin told Stephanie excitedly and honestly. Then he continued, "In fact, my mother and I, together with my three aunts, worked together to win over the shareholders of the company and took advantage of a loophole in a project to squeeze Dominick out. At that time, we all thought it would succeed because he had just returned from Aurorastra and had no experience in the group's affairs"

Kevin laughed as he recalled. "Do you know what the funniest thing is? We discovered that Dorninick's influence abroad was actually much more formidable than that of the Wellington Family, 18 shareholders and all the regional presidents dared not to say no."

Stephanie listened quietly and saw Kevin smiling. His smile seemed very calm and mature, but there was some unwillingness in his eyes.

"At that time, I knew that I would never be able to surpass Dominick"

Kevin paused. Staring at Stephanie with burning eyes, he lowered his voice. "However, things are unpredictable. Unluckily for Dominick...

Stephanie felt a little uncomfortable under his strange gaze, asking. “What do you want to say

"Stephanie, I want to say that I regret it. I married you first. I could have won him over once, but in the end he still tricked me.

Kevin suddenly became emotional and yelled. "He secretly teamed up with Claire to deceive me. He schemed against me!"

The anger and unwillingness inside made him slam his right fist on the table. "I married you, but he brought Claire back to deceive me?"

With a a clang, the waiter in the aisle who was carrying their drinks dropped his plate on the ground in fear.

The sudden noise brought Kevin back to his senses.

The waiter quickly cleaned up the mess and timidly said he would prepare new drinks for them As an outsider, Molly was frightened by Kevin just now. She secretly grabbed Stephanie with her right hand. If something unexpected happened, she would run away with Stephanie.

There was no emotion on Stephanie's face. Perhaps because of her indifference, Kevin felt he was embarrassing himself and quickly calmed down.

"Stephanie, I did something wrong to you. Will you forgive me?"

"I have let it go, she said calmly.

Kevin also replied calmly. "Your answer is really hurtful"

No matter how calm he sounded, the resentment in his voice was hard to quell.

Kevin suddenly laughed. This time, his smile was sincere. "To be honest, Dominick really has no taste. Among so many women, he chose you.....

"You didn't marry me because you loved me. And you didn't marry him because you loved him."

When Stephanie heard this, she looked a little strange.

Kevin seemed to have got back at her, which cheered him up. He stared at Stephanie and asked her in a meaningful tone, "Stephanie, if Dominick does something wrong to you like I did, will you forgive him?"

Mephanie pressed her lips and said nothing.

The water carefully brought them hot cocoa and coffee. Stephanie took her hot cocoa and took a sip p with an expressionless face, feeling more Kevin could are Stephanie through rastly, just by looking at her eyes, he knew that she cared about Dominick

"Jurplanar fave you ever thought that you don't care about him as much as you think?"

Kevin's words were full of instigation. "You claim that you hate the Reed family, Courtney, and Claire, but I know you won't bear grudges. You won't hate or love one crazily like other women do.

"If one wants you to stay, there must be something that binds you. For example, you think I saved your life, or that the elders arranged the marriage for you, or that it was because of the children. If there are no such constraints, you can easily forget others completely, and you will just be yourself."

Stephanie didn't have many friends, which didn't mean she had bad relationships with friends. She simply didn't care about them and habitually ignored them.

"Your grandpa dotes on you. He only teaches you how to live for yourself, but he never teaches you how to live for others."

Stephanie's expression suddenly became a little complicated. She wanted to refute Kevin, but she couldn't.

The bell at the restaurant door jingled, and a new guest walked in.

"Mr. Nelson, don't bother to reason with Stephanie. She is stupid. She probably can't understand."

Vincent, in a custom-made expensive grey suit, walked towards them, looking like an elegant young man.

Stephanie and Molly were surprised to see him there. They looked at each other and wondered what his purpose was Kevin was calm as he looked at Vincent. He then nodded at the latter politely.

The Hayes family was not easy to mess with. They had known each other since childhood. Vincent had a more easy-going personality and got along with everyone. In fact, Kevin also liked playing with him at the beginningText © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

But later on, Vincent always followed behind Dominick. Everyone said behind Vincent's back that he was

trying to curry favor with the Wellington family. Despite their unpleasant remarks, Vincent remained the same. Kevin looked down on Vincent, who worked for Dominick, thinking that he was doing it for profit.

But Vincent didn't particularly dislike Kevin. It was just that they were in different circles.

s.

Kevin had a strong desire to prove his ability and was very competitive. It was a pity that he had such a strong cousin. Vincent felt very sympathetic towards him.

Kevin looked much more mature, but unfortunately, he was short-sighted, and his nature was was hard to change. In Vingent's opinion, Kevin was like a trapped beast driven into a corner, a bit self-destructive. This was not called mature.

Vincent had nothing to say to him, so he just took Stephanie away.

Stephanie followed him away obediently after saying goodbye to Kevin without even turning her head.

With a calm look, Kevin stared at their retreating figures. He wanted to say something to stop them, but he had no excuse and no chance.

Resentment and unwillingness rose inside Kevin.

"I think Kevin seems to be very jealous of Dominick." After they walked out of the restaurant, Molly, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

Vincent teased indifferently. "Anyone who has a cousin like Dominick will lose his mind.

"Dominick's aunts want their children to perform well in front of George. Those children at about the same age are under a lot of pressure. In addition, the Nelson family relies on the Wellington family...
