Chapter 218 

Suphanie buddled up on the edge of the sofa. The lights in the whole house were on and dazzlingly bright. Under the incandescent light. Stephanie looked ansions, She was holding a new black phone in her hand and duling the same number over and over again. 

But still, no one answered. 

Guard and upset. 

Stephanie lowered her head. She looked at the phone screen that had automatically hang up. She was confused 

Oscar didn’t say a word. He just quietly accompanied Stephanie. He listened to the busy tone over and over again until Stephanie hung up. 

Stephanie left her phone at Wellington Villa. She used Oscar’s phone number to call Dominick. It was a new and unfamiliar number to Dominick. It was no wonder that Dominick refused to answer. 

Stephanie felt a sense of loss. She raised her head and pressed her lips. She forced a faint smile and handed the phone to Oscar. “Here you are.” 

Oscar was extremely handsome. Anyone who had seen him would never forget him. He was tall and robust. His hair was curly. His skin was delicate. Oscar had a straight nose and a pair of intense blue eyes, He had perfectly sculpted facial features 

Oscar glanced at the phone Stephanie handed over, as if hesitating about something 

At this moment, the phone in Stephanie’s hand suddenly rang 

She was stunned at first. But when she saw that Dominick called her back, she couldn’t suppress the excitement in her heart. 

“Who allowed you to call him?” 

Before Stephanie could 

press 

the answer button, she heard an angry curse from behind. The phone was snatched away. 

“Give it back to me 

Stephanie quickly turned her head to look. She subconsciously grabbed it back. But when she met Diana’s furious expression, her hand froze in mid–air. She dared not move. 

“Aunt Diana, 1–I just want to.. 

Stephanie tried to explain. But Diana saw her hesitation and listened to this ringing. She became even more angry. 

“From now on you are not allowed to contact anyone from the Wellington family” 

Diana threw the phone to the floor. 

“Why?” 

Stephanie was shocked. She looked at Diana and the broken phone components on the ground. She asked softly, “Aunt Diana, why?” 

Diana pulled a long face. She seemed unwilling to listen to her. 

Diana shouted at Stephanie. The Wellington family is wealthy and powerful. The Reed family is a bunch of snobs who fawn on them. They would do anything to get benefits. They even sent you to Dominick for their own good. Stephanie Listen to me. Or do you just want that wealth?” 

“I–I am not… I have nothing to do with the Reed family, 

Stephanie almost didn’t dare to look directly at Diana like this, She lowered her voice and pressed her lips. She added, “Dominick is very good to

“Shut up!” 

Diana was furious. Her words w 

were very harsh 

She said. “Dominick, the only grandson of the Wellington family, was born with a silver spoon. He had everything he wanted. Many famous ladies coveted him. He had many engaged candidates since he was a child. Now you are married to him. Are you proud! How well do you know him? He is the child of Sawyer and Mary. He can’t be good” 

Diana almost gritted her teeth as if she had recalled something. Her body was shaking with 

anger.

“Also, I don’t care that the Reed fa break up with Dominick.” 

Stephanie stood up anxiously. “Why Aunt Diana, when did the Wellington family offend you? Did Dominick do something wrong? Tell me, I don’t understand why you are so opposed to our marriage. The Wellington family is not as overbearing as the rumors. They treat me very well.”

Chapter 218 

Diana yelled angrily, “If you think the Wellington family is good, don’t recognize me as your aunt. Leave now. Get out” 

Diana didn’t want to listen to Stephanie’s explanation. She pointed in the direction of the door. 

This cold rebuke echoed in the new house, 

Stephanie didn’t talk back. She pressed her lips and lowered her head. 

The Reed family was the wealthiest family in Caclorium. Stephanie was the only child. Thomas cared about her very much. Stephanie was indeed spoiled. But she always respected Diana. Diana was not in good health. So, Stephanie never dared to misbehave in front of her. Especially after leaving the Reed family, they lived a hard life together, Stephanie saved money to buy medicine for Diana. They had a tough time. 

Stephanie was obedient to Diana. But this time, Stephanie didn’t want to accept her arrangements. 

Diana muttered to herself. Her words were full of nostalgia. “It’s been so many years. There is no one in the Clark family anymore. Do you still remember your grandpa? Do you still remember your mother? 

you still remember that your grandpa hugged you with a stern face. Every time you made a mistake, he would touch your little head and scare 

Your grandpa loved you so much. All the arrangements he made were for your own good. Steffi, why are you disobedient‘‘ 

Diana’s voice was choked with sobs. Her eyes were already red. 

Diana couldn’t help but cry. Stephanie raised her head and looked at Diana in astonishment 

Stephanie thought, ‘Diana is crying. What should I do? 

Stephanie was suddenly at a loss. She looked at Diana in panic. 

Diana looked sad and helpless. She closed her eyes. Tears were still flickering on her long eyelashes. Diana murmured in a begging tone, “Steffi, you have to be obedient 

Stephanie’s whole body stiffened. Those memories flooded into her mind. 

For many years,

The days in the past were really happy. But that was only the past. 

Those past times that could never be returned to. 

After Thomas died, Madison committed suicide in prison out of despair. Stephanie and Diana escaped from the Reed family and lived a hard life. From that moment on, they were alone and dependent on each other. 

These few words echoed in Stephanie’s mind over and over again 

Stephanie was stunned. She fell completely silent. 

Diana seemed extremely tired as if she had used up all her courage. She didn’t ask Stephanie any more questions, nor did she scold her. She we back to her room with weak steps.

Stephanie looked at Diana’s thin body. She felt a pang of sadness in her heart. 

Diana was such a gentle and easy–going woman. She was humble in everything. But she was so cold and strict today. She had exhausted her energy. 

Diana actually used all her strength to scold and even beg Steph 

Stephanie, 

Oscar walked over. He was still as quiet as ever. He stayed by her side. 

Stephanie said in a low voice, “Little Pillar, what do you think I should do?”
