Chapter 141 "What's wrong"" Dominick looked down at Stephanie. She was clearly unhappy Stephanie looked at him, then lowered her head and said nothing.

"By the way, didn't Scott say he would come? I haven't seen him in several years." Hayley suddenly spoke with a stiff smile.

Vincent responded, "Hayley, you really haven't seen Scolt for several years. His son is five years old this year." Hayley chuckled. "That little guy must be very cute and handsome" " Speaking of Scott's son, Andy Roberts, Dominick also said, "Scott will bring his son here today" Although Dominick had a cold personality, he liked Andy very much because he was very smart.

Vincent also liked Scon's son. He said happily, "Hayley, you will definitely like Andy when you see him later. He looks as simple and innocent as Scott, but he is actually very scheming They chatted about old stories warmly, but Stephanie sat quietly aside because she knew nothing about these topics.

"Scout's wife will chere, too. Forget it. It's rare for us to gather. That woman will only put a dampener on the party," Vincent said bluntly, looking unhappy "She is Scott's wife and Andy's mother. Vincent, don't make things too embarrassing later." Hayley picked up her glass and clinked it with Vincents. saying something to persuade him.

Stephanie didn't understand what they were talking about, but from Vincent's tone, Scott's wife, Chloe Moore, didn't seem to be very popular.

Do you want to go back Dominick, sitting beside her, asked her in a low voice.

Stephanie paused for a moment, looking a little dull.

She lowered her gaze and saw Dominick holding her right hand, which was wrapped in gauze. He stroked her hand gently, like comforting her.

Although Stephanie couldn't understand their conversation and didn't know about their past, at least Dominick didn't ignore her.

"No, I was thinking that you have a lot of friends." Suddenly, Stephanie's tone sounded a liule jealous She didn't know Dominick's life and had never been in contact with his circle.

This so-called welcparty was probably meant to help Hayley expand her connections. There were several top executives of the group who had appeared on TV before, as well as swell-known people in the business circle. Most of them cto the party for the sake of Dominick.

Upon hearing what Stephanie said, Dominick said with a unile, "Do you think I have no friends?" Then, he added, "I asked them to bring their wives and children here today. You can chat with those women if you are bored." Perhaps because his eyes were too focused and doting. Stephanie blushed and murmured, I'm not familiar with them" "If you want, they will take the initiative to get to know you." Dominick's tone was firm and a little disdainful.

Anything was possible as long as Stephanie wanted.

"Oh, Stephanie responded. Her mind was in a mess.

Dominick seemed to enjoy seeing her dazed and slightly stunned look. In a good mood, he put his arm around her waist, pulled her close to him, and naturally snuggled up against her shoulder.

Stephanie felt tense all over as he hugged her like this. Even if she had always been cheeky, she could not help but feel embarrassed with so many people watching.

But Dominick behind her didn't seem to mind at all. He rested his head on her shoulder and rubbed her earlobe with his thin lips.

Stephanie's ears suddenly turned red.

At this time, two men with wine glasses cover from the left. They glanced over here with surprise. Those people in the business circle were all sensitive. Seeing this scene, they did not cforward to disturb them.

They smiled and clinked glasses with Vincent and the others. "I don't see anyone from the Pearson family today" Chapter 141 "The Wellington and Hayes families have always had a good relationship with the Pearson family in Frostvale, but you seem to have had little contact in recent years. I heard that next month is Teresa's fiftieth birthday. Will you be there, Vincent?" "Teresa! That witch!" Vincent cursed.

Vincent and Hayley were chatting with others. Stephanie vaguely heard them mention Teresa, and a surge of anger inexplicably surged in her chest.

"Did Teresa offend you?" Dominick rarely saw Stephanie so sullen and disgusted with someone.

Stephanie frowned, thinking of sbad things. She was about to say something when Dominick's phone rang. Dominick answered the phone, and his face darkened a bit.

After a while, he hung up the phone and said. "Scott has something urgent to do and can't come." "What's wrong?" Vincent raised an eyebrow. Scott had always been very punctual and rarely delayed what he promised. "What happened to him?" Dominick's face darkened, and he didn't speak.

"Don't tellthat Scout's wife is causing trouble again. I really don't understand why Scott has been putting up with her Vincent seemed to have guessed something, and his voice was a little angry.

Stephanie didn't understand what he was angry about, but she felt a little guilty after hearing him say that. After all, she had quarreled with Dominick a few days ago.

"You are different from her, Dominick whispered in her ear.

was very curious about what evil things Scott's wife had done.

Stephanie was *Til talk to k to Chloe when I have time," Hayley said in a low voice with a thoughtful look Vincent snorted. "Hayley, remember to tell Chloe not to be ungrateful for what she has. If she really dares to hook up with other men, we won't let her go. Scott is good-tempered and will persuade her for Andy, but we aren't" Vincent hated Chloe. When Scott and Chloe just got married, she liked to compare with these ladies in the circle. Scott bought her everything Chloe wanted, such as jewelry and houses. However, in the end, she actually complained that the Roberts family was not as powerful as the Wellington family.

In the past few years, she had complained that Scott was too busy with work to spend twith her and did not pay attention to her, so she actually contacted smen who cared about her.

Scott was good-tempered, but every man had his bottom line.

"Let's go." Dominick's face turned cold when he heard these trivial matters. He stood up, hugging Stephanie beside him.

Stephanie had no objection. She said goodbye politely to Vincent and Hayley and left side by side with Dominick,

When she entered the elevator, she suddenly remembered that Molly had said before that she wanted to cto Flaming Bar. Stephanie was about to leave, but Molly had not cyet. Stephanic took her mobile phone from her bag and quickly called Molly. "Where are you now! I'll go home."

Molly said anxiously "Just cdownstairs at Flaming Bar, but a man suddenly lettake care of a five-year-old boy, and then he started arguing with his wife "Wait, what's going on, Molly!" Stephanie frowned, but Mally hung up the phone.

Stephanie and Dominick had already exited the elevator and reached the underground parking lot. Dominick turned to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?" "Maybe my friend's phone is dead." Stephanie guessed. Although she didn't quite understand what exactly happened, from her tone, Molly seemed to be fine.

"Dominick, something happened!" Another elevator door opened, and Hayley ran out with an anxious look on her face. "Chloe just called me. was crying, saying that Scott was going to force her to death. Upon hearing this, Dominick immediately thought of Scott's rare angry voice on the phone, and then he frowned.

"I'll go over there." He took the car keys and quickly opened the door.
