Chapter 226
“What do you want from me?” Sitting upright in the middle of the living room, George asked coldly into the phone with a gloomy face.
Diana dared to make a big fuss in his place a few days ago, which was simply outrageous
Diana on the other end of the phone didn’t care, and nor was she scared by George’s stern voice.
Instead, Diana was calm and said very clearly. “Mr. Wellington, I called you today to tell you something about your deceased son, Sawyer
Diana’s voice was gentle and showed no emotion
yas she was in the previous few days, Diana did not resist. On the contrary, she was relaxed.
Not as angry a
But in Wellington Villa, George who had experienced many ups and downs in his life suddenly changed his expression. He held the mobile phone tightly in his weathered hands, and his body trembled slightly as if he were irritated.
“It’s you.” George’s low and hoarse voice was filled with suppressed emotions.
“I also know that Dominick won’t live long. Despite her fattone, Diana was blunt. “I know myself well. We ordinary people are not good enough for your family. I know what you are capable of. Now I just want you to agree to one condition”
Diana’s voice was not loud, but the main hall of Wellington Villa was spacious and quiet, so Brad, who was standing by and waiting nervously, could vaguely hear their conversation.
Brad immediately came closer with an anxious lank on his face. “Mr. George Wellington, we can’t do this. Mr. Wellington will be angry
George, with a stiff expression, held the phone without responding
Anxious, Brad kept advising. “Mr. George Wellington. Stephanie is pregnant. The baby is related to our family by blood.”
George seemed to be wavering, but Diana’s voice on the other end of the phone became louder and sharper. She was yelling into the phone.
“When the children are born. I will immediately return them to your family. From then on, we will have nothing to do with each other. George, don’t forget those promises. Remember! Smyer owes as all these
Then there came a beep, and Diana hung up the phone.
The room fell into eerie silence.
The huge hall of the main residence was filled with magnificent furniture and sparkling crystal chandeliers. Everything seemed to have stopped.
Brad looked at George for a long time before calling him cautiously, “Mr. George Wellington”
George came back to his senses, but his face, which had been weathered by time, was full of confusion
“Kick Stephanie out of the Wellington family”
Brad’s mind went blank, and he muttered dully. “This is not appropriate…
George had regained his usual cold and stern majesty and slammed the phone down on the table.
“Do as I say and say that Stephanie leaves voluntarily!”
Outside, the sky was covered with thick clouds. It was pitch black and very depressing.
The dark clouds surged and rolled like waves, with thunder roaring
Stephanie suddenly had a very bad feeling.
She still sat on the chair in front of the table in Breeze Villa. She stood up almost subconsciously and immediately walked towards the living room trying to find Dominick and Scott, but they seemed to have gone to the study on the second floor.
“Stephanie, your belly bulges. Please don’t walk rashly and be more ladylike.”
Vincent was not in a hurry to find Dominick in the second floor study. He went to the living room leisurely to cook coffee. Seeing her dazed look. be couldn’t help but tease her
Stephanie ignored him and asked, “Why did you and Scout come here so early today? Is there something wrong?”
“You can’t help us even if I tell you.”
Vincent remained calm and served himself a small cup of coffee. After taking a sip, he felt that the fragrance of the coffee filled the air. He then turned to look at the dark clouds outside the window and murmured. The weather forecast says there will be heavy rain today. It looks like I’ll have

to stay at Wellington Villa all day…” Vincent would take it slow. Anyway, there would be endless things to do.
Stephanie sat next to Vincent and stared at him for a long time.
“Vincent, you do know how to enjoy yourself.” Stephanie gritted her teeth and ridiculed him angrily.
She thought that if Dominick could be like Vincent, he would not suffer from migraine.
Vincent was not modest at all. “Of course. You don’t understand the environment we grew up in. There are a lot of pressures. I’ve figured it out. Since I work so hard, I must treat myself well when I have free time.”
Suddenly, Vincent changed the subject, as if he had thought of something. “By the way, Stephanie, who do you think is more powerful, Dominick
or Oscar!”
Stephanie felt it was a strange question, so she didn’t answer.
The sky outside the window was dark, and the rumbling of thunder made Vincent upset. He suddenly had an urge to say something
He continued. “Dominick is the only heir of the Wellington family. Yvonne is just an adopted girl. Kevin and the others are not direct descendants of the family. Dominick’s status and position in the Wellington family cannot be shaken. He had all these since he was born.
“Scott and I, as well as a large group of rich kids, have been taught by our elders since we were young to please and flatter Dominick. The adults put on fake smiles and tried their best to get close to him. It was even a deliberate arrangement for us to be his playmates. Dominick has been living this kind of life since his childhood. He is always in the limelight. But in fact, he knows very well that these are all fake. In this hypocritical, dark, and extremely dirty world, even his biological mother’s concern for him is just fake.”
“Mary?”
Stephanie didn’t know why Vincent mentioned Dominick’s mother, but she didn’t have any good feelings towards this dignified lady, and even hated her selfishness.
“Mary is a hypocritical and selfish woman.”
Vincent didn’t like her either. If Mary hadn’t restrained herself a lot over the years, he would not have shown any mercy
mercy to su
such a woman.
What Vincent said next was shocking. “Mary and her lover once kidnapped Dominick when he was about 5 years old. She wanted more money and ran away with her lover.
“You know that?”
Stephanie looked straight at Vincent in great shock
She learned it from Yvonne, but how could Vincent know that?
In addition to telling her about Dominick being kidnapped as a child, Yvonne also mentioned that Vincent and the others were unaware of the truth. Stephanie had some understanding of autistic patients, so she believed that Yvonne would not lie.
Vincent thought Stephanie would look unconvinced or have doubts, but her expression was strange.
He raised his eyebrows suspiciously and asked, “Stephanie, do you know that too?”
Stephanie didn’t reply to him directly. Her voice was a little low. “Vincent, who told you about this?”
Vincent examined Stephanie with an unusual gaze for a long time. At first, he thought it was Dominick who told her, for Dominick had a special preference for her. Vincent was a little surprised that Stephanie knew this.
Putting down the cup in his hand, Vincent shrugged casually and said, “Oscar. When we were little, we attended the dinner party held by the Wellington family together. He discovered it.”
