Cross Roads

Chapter 336 "The police askedto go over at noon to help them with evidence. If there is nothing else, I will go back to Havencrest." Stephanie wanted to escape Caelorium, which was an unlucky city for her.

In fact, she knew very well I that she didn't belong to any place.

She always looked fierce, and no matter what happened, she was energetic and motivated. But Vincent noticed that she showed a look of loss on her beautiful profile, which shouldn't be.

Suddenly, he wanted to say something to Stephanie.

"What do you want from me? Stephanie's cell phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the phone and pressed the answer button. Her voice immediately beccold.

Vincent looked at her phone curiously and raised his eyebrows. Who was it? Although Stephanie was not very close to others, there were not many people she disliked.

She held the phone with an impatient expression, as if she was about to hang up.

Courtney on the other end of the phone sounded anxious and angry. She shouted commandingly. I want you to release Claire immediately" "Why?" Stephanie asked coldly. "Are you now trying to build a connection with me? Courtney, you and your sister are disgusting" Courtney, who was enraged, said in a shrill voice, "Stephanie, Claire's injuries are more serious. She is still in the intensive care unit. Molly has been discharged from the hospital.

"How badly your sister is injured has nothing to do with me. This is all Claire's fault. She caused the accident and drove the car towards us Stephanie hated Claire and Courtney. They were like evil spirits, haunting her all the tand even implicating her friends, which made Stephanie even more angry and hateful.

"What if Molly and I were hit and killed in the car accident? Did we deserve it? Courtney, you take yourself too seriously, Without the Reed family's backing, you are nothing. Why should I listen to you?" Stephanie almost gritted her teeth at the end of her words Claire and Courtney were ungrateful and caused her family to be destroyed, so Stephanie hated them deeply. Hearing this, Vincent was enlightened.

His tone also turned cold, and he deliberately raised his voice. "Put Claire into jail for ten or eight years to prevent her from causing trouble again?" Courtney on the other end of the phone could clearly hear Vincent. In a fit of temper, she gritted her teeth and wanted to curse back But Courtney couldn't.

Stephanie was right. Courtney and Claire were nothing. Abandoned by their parents in the mountainous area, they studied hard and squeezed into big cities in order to live a good life and marry into the Reed family.

There was no comparison between her and Stephanie..

Courtney felt that it was unfair, so she hated Stephanie more, who had been spoiled since childhood. "Stephanie, when you go to the police station to give your statement again, I suggest you speak carefully. If Claire is sentenced to a heavy punishment because of those rich friends around you, I will make you pay. Stephanie thought Courtney was hilarious. "You dare to threatenCourtney, you're just three years older than me, but you have the nerve to tell others that you're my stepmother. Considering my dad's age, he is old enough to be your father, You're shameless and deserve a bad end." am three years older than you, but 1 have suffered a lot more than you. I want to survive and live a good life!" "Stephanie, I am i it of control.

As an actress, Courtney was very good at pretending, but it seemed like something had provoked her, and she started swearing out "Why would Claire drive her car towards you for no reason! Why did your friend Molly get injured?" Compry becmore and more emotional as she spoke, with a sinister steer on her face. Her words were full of sarcasm. "Jessica provokeil Clatre 3:57 PM c d Chapter 336 to avenge you. Claire has beccrazy crazy over the past year. Jessica wanted to kill you, and Molly was unlucky enough to be implicated. Stephanie.

all these accidents and injuries were caused by you. It was all because of you." Pale-faced Stephanie clenched the phone tightly in her hand, not knowing how to refute.

Vincent immediately snatched the phone from her hand after glancing at her and ended the call directly. Courtney spoke very loudly just now, and he could hear her.

"I'll go to the police station with you later. Vincent wanted to know more about this traffic accident.

Stephanie adjusted her mood, took the phone back, and said calmly, "I won't compromise so easily on Claire's matter." Even if Courtney said so. Stephanie would not let Claire go easily, because Molly was injured this time. Vincent didn't say anything else.

It seemed that what Courtney said just now had simpact on her.

After being through a lot, Courtney had a way with humans. Dealing with Stephanie cannot be done by confronting her directly. She should attack Stephanie's weakness. Stephanie was spoiled and headstrong but had a soft heart despite a tough tongue.

Around noon, Stephanie and Vincent found a random restaurant nearby to have lunch, but neither of them had much appetite. During the meal, Diana called Stephanie and mentioned that Gary's health was no longer a problem, but he needed to pay more attention to health preservation in the future. Stephanie was indifferent about the Reed family's affairs as before and soon hung up the phone.

"Stephanie, is there anyone you are close to?" When Stephanie hung up the phone, Vincent thought of this question, because Stephanie didn't have any special preference, and it seemed that nothing could hold her back.

"My grandpa, Stephanie answered quickly.

"After my grandfather passed away, it should be Diana" Stephanie was not hungry. She poked a piece of pizza on the plate boredly with a fork as she recalled the past.

"My dad and grandma were very nice towhen I was a kid. In fact, I wasn't very close to my mom. Later, my dad cheated on my mom, and I with had a falling out with the Reed family. My dad framed my mom and put her in jail. She then committed suicide in jail. This incident had a big impact on me. I hated the Reed family at that time. Even though I don't hate them now, I'm not close to them. You won't understand. Imperfect family affection means that one feels strange and awkward when he meets.

his family. Those family members meant nothing to Stephanie.

Her bright eyes dimmed, and her voice gradually beclower. "Actually, when I face Diana, I feel Ο very... I don't know how to describe it. I am no longer as frank with her as I was in the past few years when we depended on each other. Molly is my best friend, and I am afraid that I will hinder her life. So, I hide many things and don't want to tell others." Stephanie couldn't remember when she started to becless and less trusting of others.

She didn't trust anyone and had no sense of belonging.

"What about Dominick?" Vincent suddenly asked.

Stephanie said so much, but she didn't mention Dominick Stephanie seemed to have missed this name, which left her frozen in shock.

"Without children, there is nothing between us she replied quickly and directly. Vincent looked at her serious eyes, at a loss about how to respond
