Crossroads

Chapter 10 

Stella saw the tense exchange of glances between the two, her mind exploding “Dominick! How dare you disrespect me and the Nelson family like this? 

“You! You….” Stella was so furious she could barely contain herself. 

Then, she tumed to George and vented. 

“Dad, can you believe this? Look at him! He has no manners at all Dominick, Stephanie is Kevin’s wife. How could you sleep with her?” 

The Wellington family had strict household rules, and George had always been particularly stern with the young generation, especially Dominick. Now, this scandal was just intolerable….. 

George was so furious that he started coughing hard. 

Brad tried to soothe George’s temper while the bodyguards and servants stood by, daring not to breathe. 

Stella burst out angrily. “Dad, I know Dominick is the only grandson of the Wellingtons. He is everyone’s favorite, and you’ve been so keen on finding him a wife. But look what he’s done now…. 

“He slept with his cousin’s wife!” Stella exclaimed, feeling wronged. “Just because he is your grandson doesn’t mean he can do something like this! This Is outrageous! How can Kevin hold his head up in public? What will people think of the Nelsons?” 

Stella, furious, started to shout toward the ward. 

“How could you fool around with him? You 

two 

are shameless!” 

Stella’s voice was sharp, and she just kept yelling. Inside the ward, Stephanie’s face turned pale. The accusation, those harsh words, cut through her heart like a dagger. 

“And what about you, Kevin?” Dominick asked out of the blue. “That night at the club…” 

All eyes turned to Kevin, whose expression darkened. The mention of “the club” brought back memories of the scandalous photos taken there. 

“Aunt Stella, why don’t you ask your son? He’s the one who sent Stephanie to my bed, after all,” Dominick sneered, glancing at Stella 

Stella was stunned and suddenly fell silent. 

Guilt flickered in Kevin’s eyes, mixed with deep resentment. 

He retorted loudly, “I admit I wanted to divorce Stephanie, but I only intended to take some pictures of her to threaten her. I hate her, but setting her up with another man? That would be humiliating myself! 

That night, he had only planned to have someone slip Stephanie a mild sedative, undress her, and take some naked photos to push her into divorce, but he never thought things would end up like this. 

His plan went wrong, and Stephanie actually slept with another man! 

And, out of all people, that man was Dominick… 

“Mr. George Wellington, the report is ready!” Suddenly, a doctor in a white coat rushed over from the elevator. 

The doctor respectfully handed a prenatal paternity test report to George. 

12:47 Thu, 20 Jun M 

Chapter 10 

This report used maternal venous blood for paternity testing and the latest genetic technology to determine the father of the fetus before birth. 

Everyone fell silent, all eyes complex and fixed on the report in George’s hands. 

George stared at the report and remained silent. He lifted his head, his eyes sharp as he looked towards the woman in the ward…. 

Under the weight of George’s stare, Stephanie clutched the sheets tightly, her face pale. 

She was overwhelmed by anxiety. 

“Why has it come to this… What should I do?” 

After a long silence, George finally spoke in a deep, stern voice that allowed no room for dispute. 

“Keeping the baby.”
