Chapter 250
“Are you asking for trouble? You can’t touch her
Everyone here knew Vincent, and they chuckled in response, “Vincent, is this your woman?” Seeing his tense expression and looking at the fragile woman in front of him, suspicion crept into their eyes.
Vincent was extremely displeased, too irritated to bother explaining. He swung his fist directly at the man’s check, leaving a bruise. The other recognized who owned Flaming Bar and could only begrudgingly back down, dispersing without causing further trouble.
Lately, no one seemed to be in a good mood, resorting to violence at the slightest provocation.
“Stephanie, why are you here?” He grabbed her and erupted in anger.
“Don’t you know how chantic Flaming Bar can be? Shouldn’t you be resting at home during your confinement? Are you trying to cause trouble by coming here? I’m telling you, you’d better behave yourself and stop causing trouble!” he scolded her angrily.
She remained silent, Jetting him vent without arguing back.
Vincent also quieted down. He felt like he had said something wrong again.
His relationship with Stephanie did not run deep, but it wasn’t shallow either. They had known each other for a year, and he knew Stephanie wasn’t the type to be coquettish or say pleasant things just to please others. She was always opposing him, causing him endless trouble, and he found her quite annoying.
Compared to the charming woman he knew, he thought her straightforward and stubborn nature was admirable. Most people couldn’t be so committed
He didn’t want to scold her, but seeing her looking so frail, he couldn’t help but yell at her.
“Where’s Dominick?” After a while, she finally spoke.
Vincent seemed to not hear her question. His tone softened slightly as he continued. “How did Oscar take care of you! How could he let you come here! You sneaked out alone again, didn’t your Stephanie, you’re always so stubborn. In the end, you’re only hurting yourself!”

With that, he grabbed her hand and started walking towards the exit. “It’s crowded and chaotic here. The air isn’t good either. Where are y staying now! I’ll take you back
Stephanie refused to move, repeating softly. “I want to see Dominick.”
Vincent heard her but continued to play dumb, forcefully dragging her along
The two stood at an impasse. “Vincent, take me to see him,” she pleaded.
It seemed like the first time slae had ever softened and asked him for help
Vincent’s expression darkened. He gripped her even harder, but she refused to budge. Glancing nervously towards the far west corner of the pool. he raised his voice in frustration as he scolded her.
He said, “You want to see him? Huh, Stephanie, shouldn’t you so you should really take care of your appearance. Look at the beauties around here, and none of them are like you. Dominick didn’t mind that
take care of yourself first? Have you looked in the mirror! You look terrible right now, before, but now he
*Dominick, you just had surgery last month and you can’t drink, a gentle voice interrupted.
On the second floor of Flaming Bar, the vast triangular pool glowed with blue light, filled with the laughter and flirtation of men and wo the splashing of swimmers. It was noisy, but Hayley’s voice was sensitive to Stephanie’s ears.

She instinctively turned to the far west of the pool, and through the misty water, she saw the man with his che “Dominick, how did you get these injuries? I heard you had a fight with Oscar yesterday. Since you’re wounded, you shouldn’t be in the water for Loo long.
“I’m fine.” The same deep voice sounded, and this time, with suppressed irritation.
Stephanie’s heart raced wildly. She basically ran over and threw herself at the edge of the pool, clutching him in front of her tightly. “Dominick. “Get lost! Who gave you permission to touch me?” His arrogant and angry retort came. With a forceful gesture, he smoothly brushed Stephame off the poolside, causing her to stumble and fall clumsily
“Don’t treat her like this, Dominick Vincent hurried over in concern, trying to help Stephanie

Ignoring Vincent behind her, Stephanie crawled as the poolside, her clothes hall–soaked, showing no urgen at his familiar yet cold and stern face. Why did his gaze feel so unfamiliar!

She knew he was someone difficult to approach and had always been aloof toward others. But at this moment, Stephanie truly understood what it meant to be a stranger to him.
“Dominick, don’t you recognise me!” Her voice trembled as she asked quietly.
