Chapter 251 

“Dominick, you… Don’t you recognize me?” Stephanie repeated. 

“Should I know you?” His deep voice carried a hint of mockery as he effortlessly stepped out of the pool. A nearby attendant immediately handed him a bathrobe, and he tied it around his waist without glance at her at her. 

“Dominick, she’s Stephanie. Vincent frowned, helping Stephanie up, unable to hold back. “She’s your wife” 

“Wile?” Dominick repeated the word that had caught his attention. He turned his head, the water droplets still clinging to his short hair and chest. He took a step closer to her, his sharp gaze sweeping up and down her figure. “Why did I marry you in the first place?” he asked bluntly. 

Why did he marry her in the first place! 

This sharp question made Stephanie freeze in place. 

“Because Stephanie was pregnant with your children… 

Hayley brought over an extra clean towel, smiling as she handed it to Stephanie, Stephanie didn’t take it, her eyes trembling uncontrollably at the mention of her children 

“Aren’t they dead?” Dominick asked matter–of–factly. 

Before he finished speaking, Stephanie’s s face turned pale, and she slapped him hard.

st with his right hand, 

He was struck with anger and embarrassment, his aura turning cold and hostile. A second later, he quickly grabbed her wrist tightening his grip fiercely. Stephanie winced in pain, her face pale. 

“Dominick, let her go!” Vincent hurried over, stepping between them.

Stephanie lifted her head, staring directly into his eyes with suppressed tears in her reddened ones. Anger and aloofness made him feel very 

unfamiliar to her. 

A hurried set of footsteps approached from the distance, and Molly erupted in anger. Dominick, let her go, yo 

you bastard! Don’t you dare touch her!” 

Finally, Stephanie glanced impatiently ahead, her eyes showing disgust and disdain when they met his gaze, and she shook off his hand, 

Suddenly, the atmosphere around the triangular pool became eerie, with curious onlookers avoiding the area. 

“Stephanie, how are you? You’re drenched! Are you hurt Molly rushed over anxiously. 

Oscar also came over, standing at Stephanie’s left side, frowning as he took her bruised wrist in his hand. 

“It was just a misunderstanding earlier… 

Hayley, fearing another confrontation, tried to defuse the situation with an explanation. 

Dominick’s face darkened, clearly unwilling to see Oscar and the others. Without a moment’s hesitation, he turned and walked away. 

Molly Instinctively moved to follow him, angrily muttering, “Hey, your 

“Let’s go back,” Stephanie said softly, with her head hanging low. 

Stephanie, he.. Molly hesitated, her steps faltering. In the end, she didn’t pursue Dominick. She never had the courage to provoke Dominick before today, but seeing him so arrogant towards Stephanie made her furious. 

Stephanie, does he really not recognize you? Do you think he’s lost his mind after that surgery in Serenburg? How could he say such things to you! Why didn’t you confront him? You’ve waited for him for so long.” 

They left the noisy and lively Flaming Bar. On the way back, Molly continued to vent her frustration. 

Meanwhile, Stephanie remained unusually quiet, 

Stephanie didn’t yell or cry loudly. Her face was pale, and she quietly looked out of the car window with her head nursed to the side.
