Chapter 275 Stephanie's so-called method....

When Molly saw Vincent sitting across from them, she suddenly snapped back to reality. She almost forgot about this aimless Vincent.

"I want to be on the list of those who advance in this audition, Stephanie said straight to the point.

Vincent, sitting opposite, looked displeased. He glared at her with a hostile gaze, gritting his teeth without saying a word, barely holding back his anger, ready to explode at any moment.

Molly remained a quiet spectator, secretly delighted. She thought, "So Stephanie's method means asking Vincent for help.

"You calledout just for this! Vincent slammed the table with an imposing demeanor, coldly questioning her. "Yes" Stephanie, oblivious to the danger, admitted honestly, Vincent could no longer hold back. He shouted at her in a fury, "You haven't contactedin ages, and now you want to use me. Do you think I'm a fool Stephanie, don't be so arrogant. Why should I help you...

Vincent was about to lose his temper. Molly, feeling timid, turned to look at Stephanie. Since they needed his help, a softer approach might work better.

But Stephanie just asked, “So, will you helpor not? Vincent paused, and then his face turned dark. Molly helplessly held her forehead, thinking this was a lost cause.

av hand take your supplements. It's so cold Vincent's eyes blazed with anger as he shouted, "Stephanie, with your poor health, you should stay outside. Stop causing trouble. And you want to show up in public? Are you out of your mind!" Stephanie didn't argue back. She patiently listened to his scolding. Sensing the tense atmosphere, the waiter quickly served their drinks and left.

Vincent continued. I heard your apartment had someone die in it Stephanie, since when did you becso poor? Living in a haunted house. Are you possessed! Want to join the Innovate Group project? You're not even professionally trained. The audition is clearly a publicity stunt. We've already chosen the candidates...

Molly was surprised to hear that he had even investigated Stephanie's haunted apartment.

Stephanie wasn't embarrassed by his scolding. She looked at the milkshake in front of her, hesitated for a second, and then pushed it towards him.

Vincent noticed her gesture, still glaring at her. Then he heard her ask, "Do you want to drink it?" He was stunned, his eyes flickering.

Molly watched in amazement as Vincent, who had previously been fuming, was pacified by a milkshake, looking quite satisfied as he drank it.

Actually, Stephanie hadn't thought much about it. She figured he must be thirsty from all the yelling.

Seeing him drink her milkshake, Stephanie felt justified. “Anyway, I need to be on the shortlist for this audition. Because he had been oppressed for so long. Vincent's mind went blank momentarily. Stephanie's small kindness, giving him a drink, filled him with a sense of accomplishment. But as he calmed down, Vincent's expression twisted with the realization of his weakness.

"Why do you want to join this audition?" Knowing he couldn't refuse, Vincent adopted a superior attitude since she was asking for his help.

"Need money," Stephanie replied.

"Need money?" Vincent glared at her. "If you don't tellwhy, don't expectto help you!" Molly was also curious. She sneaked a glance at Stephanie, noticing her frowning slightly as if hesitating. After about three minutes, Stephanie looked away nervously.

With a bit of restraint, Stephanie said in a low voice, "I must get a spot on the shortlist." Molly was dazed, not understanding how they were going to achieve this. Vincent, hearing Stephanie's softened tone, seemed provoked and jumped up from his chair, ready to start yelling again, but he held himself back.

12:23 PM Chapter 275 Vincent, with a dark expression, gritted his teeth and said. "If you get this project and have any conflicts with Dominick, don't cbothering met Then be stormed off coolly "Stephanie, he seemed really angry," Molly said, watching Vincent's furious departure with sworry.

"If you really want this spot, you'll definitely have to interact with Dominick. If Vincent doesn't help you, then won't you be..." She wanted to say outnumbered.

"Yeah," Stephanie nodded. Then, Stephanie nudged her, reminding her, "Your spaghetti is getting cold." Molly sighed, wondering how Stephanie could still think about eating at this time.

Holding a fork, Stephanie also ate her spaghetti, her tone firm. "Vincent won't leavehanging.

Just as Stephanie had predicted, Vincent, despite his harsh words, secretly helped her behind the scenes. After several rounds of selection, only four spots remained, and one of them was hers.

When Hayley, amidst her busy schedule, chatted with the HR department about the audition results, she was visibly shocked to hear Stephanie's ΠΑΙΠΕ "Wasn't she eliminated in the initial round?" Hayley's voice was cold with barely concealed displeasure. The HR manager, Henry, looked around cautiously before whispering in her car, "Mr. Hayes arranged it." "Vincent, Hayley said flatly, with a cold smile. “She is quite capable, even able to command Vincent."

It wasn't unusual to see people climbing social ladders in their circle. If Stephanie were still Dominick's wife, many would be lining up to help her. But now, in her downfall. Vincent still chose to assist her. However, Hayley felt something was off. "Why didn't she ask Oscar?" Given Stephanie's current situation, her relationship with Oscar should be closer than with Dominick's friends. Oscar had always been willing to help her with anything.

"Stephanie, why didn't you ask Oscar for help?" Today, Molly accompanied Stephanie to the Innovate Group to sign papers, confirming her spot in the finals. Stephanie felt awkward standing there. Molly said, "Sometimes I think Oscar is even more powerful than Dominick. You could go to him directly...

Stephanie signed the papers and left.

As they walked out of the company, waiting for a taxi, Molly continued sparing her thoughts. It was clear Stephanie had a reason for suddenly participating in this event, but she wouldn't say. "I don't want him to interfere, Stephanie simply explained.

urious. "What's going on?" she asked, looking sullenly. "Don't tellyou really want to see Dominick Molly was curious.

Suddenly, Stephanie's expression froze.

A black Rolls-Royce drove past them. Dominick and Hayley chatted happily inside the car as it headed towards Wellington Villa.
