Crossroads Confessions by Deirdre Augus novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348 

Stephanie walked down the stairs quickly without even taking the elevator. She lowered her head and walked through the crowd with big strides. Her steps were thustered. 

When she just walked out of the lobby on the first floor, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching from behind. 

Stephanie’s first reaction was that it was Dominick. She changed into a complicated and angry look. Stephanie turned her head and was about to speak. But the other one asked more urgently than she did, “Stephanie, how is Mr. Reed now!” 

Stephanie stopped. She watched Molly rushing toward her. Stephanie was surprised. 

Mally supported her waist with both hands. She was out of breath because of running “I just heard Scott say that Mr. Reed suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage yesterday afternoon. He said it was quite serious. Don’t worry too much. Mr. Reed will definitely get better.” Molly kept comforting Stephanie while panting 

Stephanie didn’t know why Molly had stayed in Caelorum for such a long time. Her tense nerves seemed to have found an outlet. Stephanic wanted to cry. She took a big step forward and hugged Molly. 

Molly was petite. She felt a litle uncomfortable being hugged so tightly 

Molly thought, ‘Stephanie usually didn’t take the initiative to get close to others. She is probably really flustered now.” 

“Molly, I’m not my father’s daughter. They are all lying to me. I’m the one who hurt them all.” Stephanie’s long hair covered the sadness in her eyes. She leaned her head on Molly’s shoulder, as if she had found someone to confide secrets to. But it was more like Stephanie was talking to herself. 

Molly couldn’t hear her subtle mutterings. But she felt that Stephanie seemed very panicked and self–blaming 

Molly was about to comfort her. But as soon as she looked up, she saw two familiar handsome figures at the elevator exil in front of her. 

They were Dominick and Vincent 

Molly saw Dominick glancing at them. But Dominick did not come over. Instead, he walked in another direction. 

Vincent walked towards them confidently. 

Stephanie was a very sensitive person. She might have noticed the footsteps approaching from behind. She was used to hiding her vulnerability. So. she let go of Molly and returned to her previous indifference. 

If it weren’t for her red eyes, Molly would have thought that it was just an illusion. 

Everyone around Stephanie said that she was lucky to have a good background. However, in fact, Stephanie just pretended to be living a good life. She never complained to others. 

Vincent was very sure that Stephanie’s eyes were red because she cried. Now, he was very cautious. Vincent stood three feet away from them. He dared not to get close to them. 

Vincent wondered, “Women are really scary creatures sometimes. 

Stephanie told Molly about Cary’s surgery in a normal tone. She took Molly to the hospital restaurant to find Diana and Samantha. She just ignored 

Vincent. 

There were approximately 1500 feet from the in–patient building to the hospital cafeteria. They walked side by side. Molly watched Stephanie’s expression worriedly from time to time. After hesitating for a while, Molly spoke. “Stephanie, do you know that Courtney was arrested by the police?” 

Courtney was Stephanie’s stepmother, Molly immediately shared the news with Stephanie 

Stephanie looked surprised. It was apparent that she didn’t know about this. 

Molly continued to say, “I heard it from Scout. It should be accurate, 

“Last midnight, multiple police forces in Carlorium arrested Courtney. It seemed that Courtney had committed some serious crime. The paparazzi took photos of her being handcuffed, But Scott said that those photos were taken down and not allowed to be broadcast. I wonder if Courtney has offended some big shot” 

Courtney was in the entertainment industry. It was normal for the paparazzi to reveal her sandals. People could see celebrities‘ photographs in newspapers. But now it was obvious that the media was not allowed to participate in this matter. 

Stephanie’s expression became more serious. 

Molly was very curious. But she was more concerned about Stephanie. “Stephanie, is Courtney’s matter related to the Reed family? Will it affect

you?” 

Stephanie just shook her head gently. She said nothing. 

Molly actually wanted to ask Scott about this matter. But Scott told her to stay out of this. He looked serious, too. 

Molly turned her head. She glanced at Vincent who had been following them. 

Vincent was about three feet away from them. He could hear what Molly said. He was more surprised about Courtney being arrested. 

“Who captured Courtney?” he asked stupidly. 

Molly could tell that Vincent knew nothing about this. She immediately turned her head and ignored him. 

Although Stephanie didn’t like Vincent, Samantha was very much fond of him. When they arrived at the hospital cafeteria, Samantha pulled Vincent to sit next to her. She asked Vincent to order food amicably, 

“Mr. Hayes, there’s nothing good to eat in this hospital cafeteria. We’ve really troubled you these past few days.” 

Vincent smiled friendly. He said, “Mrs. Reed, just call me Vincent”
