Chapter 10
Stella saw the tense exchange of glances between the two, her mind exploding “Dominick! How dare you disrespect me and the Nelson family like this?
“You! You….” Stella was so furious she could barely contain herself.
Then, she tumed to George and vented.
“Dad, can you believe this? Look at him! He has no manners at all Dominick, Stephanie is Kevin’s wife. How could you sleep with her?”
The Wellington family had strict household rules, and George had always been particularly stern with the young generation, especially Dominick. Now, this scandal was just intolerable…..

Stella burst out angrily. “Dad, I know Dominick is the only grandson of the Wellingtons. He is everyone’s favorite, and you’ve been so keen on finding him a wife. But look what he’s done now….
“He slept with his cousin’s wife!” Stella exclaimed, feeling wronged. “Just because he is your grandson doesn’t mean he can do something like this! This Is outrageous! How can Kevin hold his head up in public? What will people think of the Nelsons?”
Stella, furious, started to shout toward the ward.
“How could you fool around with him? You

“And what about you, Kevin?” Dominick asked out of the blue. “That night at the club…”

“Aunt Stella, why don’t you ask your son? He’s the one who sent Stephanie to my bed, after all,” Dominick sneered, glancing at Stella
