Chapter 332
Vincent had become cunning. He didn’t answer but just played dumb. He talked nonsense and took Stephanie to a private restaurant. The decoration and layout there were quite ordinary, and there were not many customers, but the food was really delicious.
After eating, they both had a good mood. While paying the bill, Vincent took the opportunity to preach to her. “Don’t get stuck in a rut. Be more open–minded and tolerant. Enjoy your life and do whatever you want. Life is actually simple”
Stephanie glanced at the bill he signed and said. “What’s the use of saying this if you don’t have money?” This meal was indeed expensive.
“Women don’t have to make money. They only need to give birth to children, raise them, and be a good wife, Vincent said..
He thought that a standard woman should be like this. Stephanie was disdainful of his idea. “Then, men go out and have fun with other women, right
“Do you think Dominick has many women? Vincent felt that she might be very insecure,
Stephanie frowned and stopped talking immediately.
They stood at the r
restaurant door, waiting for the waiter to drive the car here from the garage.
Vincent said, “Stephanie, have you ever heard of a saying that to see how successful a man’s career is, you only need to know how his marriage is! The wealth that comes from temporary fortune cannot be kept. Watch the financial channel, and then you will know that a truly successful man (can handle his family and marriage relationships very well.”
Stephanie was not used to him actually talking about principles.
Vincent was a little awkward, saying, “My family is like this. The family rules regarding marriage are very strict, and the rules in the Wellington family are even stricter.”
“Oh, Stephanie responded indifferently.
In fact, she was surprised. It was the first time that Vincent had been nagging about these things as if he was comforting her in advance.
Soon, the waiter drove the car over. Vincent sat in the driver’s seat. The passenger door was opmed, but Stephanie did not get in the car. Instead, she looked at the two people who had just entered the resturant
Stephanie immediately rushed over with an angry look. When Vincent looked up, she had already run away.
She grabbed the woman’s arm at the restaurant reception and said, “What the hell are you doing? Are you dating a man!
Courtney seemed surprised to meet her here, but she was experienced, so she quickly calmed down.
“Hey, beauty, you dare question her. Who are you! The man next to Courtney looked at Stephanie curiously.
Compared to Stephanie’s angry expression, Courtney smiled charmingly and told the man, “This is my daughter.” Then she burst into laughter.
The man laughed wantonly after hearing this. “Your daughter? You are still so young. How could you have a daughter?”
Courtney laughed and said. “I’m only three years older than her.”
Stephanie looked at them, and her face became more and more gloomy. Courtney was only three years older than her, but she seduced Gary and became Stephanie’s stepmother.
“Are you Cousiney’s Fan? You must be insane, girl. She isn’t a lesbian.
Get out. The man ogled at Stephanie, lowered his voice, and teased, “Why don’t you pursue me? I’ve filmed a lot of dramas. Do you know who I am?”
“Get lost!” When Vincent walked in, he happened to see a man teasing Stephanie.
If it were any other wealthy person, these A–list celebrities would not take Vincent seriously. But Vincent was a big shot in showbiz. The man saw ham and immediately shut up
He said in a flattering to
lone, “Mr. Hayes, are you here for dinner, too!” Although this restaurant was senall, it was very famous.
“Get lost!” Stephanie frowned and scolded the man impatiently.
The man was no longer arrogant. Vincent was here, and he could only leave in embarrassment.
Courtney looked at Stephanie and Vincent and sneered, “Stepliame, you are really lucky. You have people to help you wherever you go

Chapter 332
“So what? Stop speaking sarcastically.” Stephanie glared at her. She didn’t like those women like Courtney who played tricks and relied on men.
“Stephanie, you are overprotected. You have no right to look down upon me. Courtney’s gaze met Stephanie’s, and her face gradually became gloomy, revealing hatred. “You are foolish and kept in the dark. You are just lucky, and someone has created those beautiful illusions for you since you were born. But we have to live in such pain and struggle. You are really enviable.”
“How I live is none of your business, but at least I won’t complain about others.” Stephanie was very annoyed every time she saw Courtney. especially now. She cursed, “Courtney, my father is seriously ill in the hospital after a traffic accident. As his wife, you don’t take care of him but come to date a man. What do you mean by that?”
Speaking of Gary’s hospitalization, Courtney calmed down a lile and raised an eyebrow, “Is he dying? Can I get a share of the family property?
Stephanie became excited. “What did you say? My dad is alive and well!”
“I didn’t expect you to be so filial to him.” Courtney was a vain woman. What else could a young and beautiful woman who married a man in his fifties want apart from hoping that he would die soon and get the family property?
Stephanie suppressed her fury and said, “Listen, Courtney, if you dare to do anything shameful in secret, I won’t let you go.” With her personality, she would always do what she said.
Courtney was a little wary of Stephanie, especially since Vincent was with her. Stephanie had so many people to help her. The more Courtney thought about it, the more she hated her.
“Mr. Hayes, will you treat me like Dominick dealt with Jessica?” Courtney recalled something and suddenly laughed. “Dominick was so cruel to Jessica. Jessica loved him for so many years, but in the end, he didn’t even bother to scold her. He is really heartless.”
She added sarcastically. “Stephanie, be careful to with this kind of person.” After speaking this, she turned around and left.
Stephanie did not chase her and glared at her back
Vincent had no good impression of Courtney. Many of the artists in his company were vain. Courtney was capable in showbiz and also very
He advised, “She is jealous of you. Don’t take what she said seriously. She said that to deliberately irritate you.”
Stephanie looked calm, as if she didn’t care about others‘ comments on Dominick. She said to Vincent expressionlessly, “Don’t tell anyone about what just happened.”
Courtney had an affair with another man, and it was a disgrace to the Reed family.
Vincent drove Stephanie to the hospital and then went to do his business.
“I brought you food from a restaurant. Stephanie put the food box on the table. Diana ate the pasta and soon noticed that Stephanie looked angry. Obviously, she was in a bad mood
“What’s wrong?” Diana asked.
Stephanie said with an angry look, “I just ran into Courtney and saw her hugging another man
Diana was calm. “Maybe it’s just for hype. Gary might have been used to it”
“He is still so tolerant to her even though he has been cuckold. Although Stephanie was sure that Courtney would not dare to cause trouble, she was stili
angry, Gary was usually so strict with Stephanie, but he was partial to that hypocritical woman. She didn’t understand what kind of tricks Courtney had played on Gary to make him help her.
Diana was eating outside the ward. She was a little worried that Stephanie would enter the ward and argue with Gary. She sighed, “You and Gary have the same temper. You both treat marriage as a joke. You got married because you were pregnant, and he married Courtney in a fit of temper
Stephanie didn’t understand. “A fit of temper? What do we mean in this?”
“That was years ago” Diana’s voice became a little anxious. Then, she said seriously. The doctor said that Gary’s cardiovascular system is not good, so don’t mention Courtney to him. He is getting old, and he will handle it himself.
