Chapter 200
“Stephanie’s pendant! The crescent–shaped pendant… I don’t know. She never told me this. Molly was puzzled by Vincent’s question
Seeing Vincent’s persistence, she added. “But Stephanie told me that she encountered a strange thing recently
“A strange thing!” Vincent didn’t get any information about the pendant from Molly and felt a little disappointed. He had no interest in what the strange thing was.
“Stephanie said she recently received two text messages. One message was sent from Dominick’s phone number, asking her to go to a wine party at Gordon Hotel on a heavy rainy day. The other was from Hayley’s phone number yesterday, asking her to go to Golden Angel Club.”
Molly tried to explain it in as much detail as possible.
She was very worried, especially about the takeout that came from an unknown person. It was enviable that Stephanie married Dominick, but her life was at risk. What could Stephanie do?
“Hayley asked her to go to Golden Angel Club, really?” Vincent was a little confused. But then, he denied it, “It’s impossible”
Seeing his expression, Molly became a little anxious. “You don’t believe Stephanie, either, right? But there’s no need for her to lie. Even if there is a misunderstanding, you should trust her first. Besides, if Hayley hadn’t been secretly provoking Stephanie, she wouldn’t have been so concerned.”
“What did Hayley tell Stephanie in private? Vincent asked.
“I don’t know.” Molly said sullenly. Stephanie hadn’t told her what Hayley had said.
“With Stephanie’s arrogant personality, could Hayley bully her?” Vincent doubted
“Hey, don’t think you know everything. Hayley didn’t hurt Stephanie much, but sharp words are like sharp blades that can hurt people’s hearts. Do you think that Stephanie won’t say anything, so she is fine, right? I know her very well, but she hadn’t even mentioned her mother’s suicide, her stepmother’s harm to her, what she had suffered in the Reed family, and being ignored by Kevin for three years. Stephanie isn’t used to talking to others about her affairs. She is stubborn, and she’s used to enduring the sadness alone. Do you really think she won’t be sad if she doesn’t say it?”
Vincent was stunned by her scolding. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Molly. She was usually gentle, but she could actually preach at him. It was true that people were easily affected by the company they kept. Molly was affected by Stephanie and was not as gentle as he thought
The corridor of the hospital’s inpatient department became inexplicably quier
Molly had just scolded Vincent on the spur of the moment. Usually, she would never have the courage to yell at these “upper–class people“. Feeling a little embarrassed, she turned aside.
No matter what the truth about these text messages and today’s accident, she wanted to speak up for Stephanie.
Those people in Dominick’s circle didn’t trust Stephanie at all.
“I’ll talk to Dominick about these things when he comes back.” Vincent didn’t mind Molly’s words. He cleared his throat to ease the aunosphere and calmly responded.
“Oh, thank you” Molly was a little surprised that Vincent would trust what she said
She had just worried that he would be mean to her. Fortunately.. the swore that she had just acted on impulse.
To avoid accidentally offending Vincent again, Molly thought it would be safer to leave. She said politely, “Til go back to see Stephanie. Then, she
ran back to the ward.
Maybe it was because Stephanie had slept well last night, and she felt unwell after eating the takeout food, so she slept soundly on the bed.
Molly did not wake her up. Feeling bored, she walked around the ward and thoughtfully drew the curtains to block out the sunlight. Only then did she remember that she had not eaten anything at noon. Her interview failed. How unlucky! She suddenly felt even hungrier.
She turned around and decided to go out to eat something
Just then, a nurse came in, pushing a small cart with some infusion bottles.
Molly glanced at these bottles. The words on them were small, and she couldn’t see them clearly, but she thought the medicines in the hospital were definitely safe.
She passed the nurse, nodded politely to each other, and walked out of the ward.
to eat something together. There’s a pretty good restaurant on the avenue nearby. Molly ran into Vincent at the end of the corridor, who had just hung up the phone and called out to her.

Molly hesitated, not knowing whether to agree.
She never thought of taking advantage of anyone, especially these rich second generation.
you? Relax. Stephanie warned me not 10 have
“What are you worried about? Vincent looked innocent. “Do you think I have any bad intentions to you? R any intentions to you. I’m a kind person,”
Upon hearing the words “I’m a kind person“, Molly was amused.
Since Vincent said so, she readily agreed and followed him into the elevator.
Vincent was always very gentlemanly towards women. When they arrived at the parking lot, he opened the car door of the passenger seat for Molly and drove off to look for something delicious
Molly frowned, watching the road ahead, and said, “Let’s just eat something nearby. It’s not safe to leave Stephanie alone in the hospital.
“You’re really worried about her. Vincent couldn’t help but think, “How could Stephanie, that violent woman, have such a gentle friend? Maybe Stephanie forced Molly. This poor girl!
