Chapter 225
Stephanie sat by the dining table. In front of her was a sumptuous meal. She didn’t eat much, for she had no appetite.
Her face was tense, and she was upset.
Stephanie stood up, ready to go to the living room to question Dominick, but she had a chill of fear, afraid of knowing something bad.
“What are you thinking about? Is it

Vincent, who was sitting opposite the cable, finished his meal and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He looked u looked a little strange, so he spoke to her in a bad tone.
Stephanie was stunned.
Only then did she remember that she sneaked back to Wellington Villa. It was almost 7AM. Diana must have gotten up.
Stephanie would be scolded, so she became even more depressed. She wondered, ‘Forget it. Maybe it will be better to admit my mistake!
Vincent, lend me your phone.
“Stephanie, did you come back on your own initiative or
“Hand over the phone.” She didn’t bother to waste time on Vincent, so she urged him
Vincent did not lund over his phone. Instead, he looked at Stephanie with suspicion. “I am asking you seriously now. Did you come back voluntarily! This is very important”
“I sneaked back, and I will be scolded. What a nosy man! Hurry up and give me your phone.”
Stephanie didn’t think too deeply about it. She just thought that Vincent might
gloat ev
over her misfortune.
Vincent raised his eyebrows and smiled, as if he was somewhat satisfied with her answer. He then generously took out the mobile phone from his pocket and handed it over. However, at that time, a maid rushed towards Stephanie, accompanied by a familiar mobile phone ringtone
“Mrs. Wellington, there is a new call on your phone”
screen.
The maid brought Stephanie her own cell phone, so she didn’t need to use Vincent’s. Stephanie took the vibrating phone and glanced at the scre looking guilty.
It was Diana’s call
Tell her that you and Dominick are going to elope, and tell her to stop making trouble. Diana is quite.. Vincent couldn’t help but complain. Vincent thought, ‘Diana is quite inexplicable.
Stephanie glared at him, warning him with her eyes to shut up.
Stephanie nervously tapped the answer button on the phone. “Diana,” she called out obediently.
Upon hearing her voice, Diana did not get furious. She just said in a very calm tone, “Come back.”
Stephanie held the phone in her hand, feeling tense for a moment.
After a moment of hesitation, Stephanie whispered, “Diana, I want to stay at Wellington Villa” Her voice was low, as if she was feeling extremely guilty about having made a mistake.
Stephanie’s timidity enraged Vincent.
Stephanie was arrogant at Wellington Villa, but now she was so
as so obedient. Fe
Fortunately, Dominick and Scott were in the living room.
Vincent was dissatisfied. “Stephanie, you are a grown–up. Will you divorce Dominick if Diana tells you to?” Vincent yelled at Stephanie with a sterni face, not caring at Diana on the other end of the phone could hear it.
He wanted Diana to understand that if she weren’t Stephanie’s aunt, they wouldn’t have tolerated her like this. Did Diana really think that anyone could bully them!

“He is the son of Sawyer and Mary. I don’t believe he is a good person.”
Stephanie didn’t know how to respond for a moment. She could feel Diana’s anger. Every time she mentioned the Wellington family. Diana would lose her temper, which was confusing
Since Stephanie didn’t say anything else, Diana took a few deep breaths and softened her voice. “Steffi, I’m doing this for your own good. Dominick is not suitable for you…”
I know whether he is suitable for me or not
Stephanie didn’t mean to contradict Diana. She almost blurted out immediately.
Just as she finished, Diana hung up the phone. Stephanie looked at the screen and subconsciously wanted to call back, but in the end, she put the phone on the table and leaned back in the chair, with an expression of struggle and loss.
Seeing her sad face, Vincent shouted impatiently, “What’s the problem between Diana and the Wellington family?”
“I have no idea…
Annoyed, Stephanie frowned and kept trying to recall whether her aunt had any conflicts with the Wellington family, but she had no recollection.
