Crossroads

Chapter 352
The door few open, and a figure burst in. "Is Stephanie here yet?"
Dominick hadn't even turned around, but his hardened expression flickered with surprise at the question.
He slowly pivoted, and a chill returned to his eyes as he saw Scott standing there.
Scout explained without Dominick asking. "An hour ago, Stephanie called ine. She said she wanted to find Courney, so I gave her the address."
Scout's usually charming smile was strained now,
"Never thought Stephanie would be so eager to track me down. She is a good daughter, isn't she?"
Through the thick glass wall, the imprisoned Courtney overheard their conversation. She pressed her right hand against the glass and let out a loud, mocking laugh.
Her laughter was sharp and piercing
Scott turned to look at her. Courtney had been snatched by Dominick's goons early that morning and had spent the last twelve hours trapped in this cramped, red-lit hellhole. She looked like she was about to snap
The place was designed to break people. It was small and suffocating, the perfect environment to crack even the toughest nut in the shortest amount of time. Sometimes, they even pumped in high-frequency sound waves to mess with people's beads.
Scott knew all about Dominick's tricks. If Courtney didn't cooperate, she was only going to make things worse for herself.
"Dominick, let me take care of Courtney. Scott offered. He wasn't exactly a saint. He just didn't like trouble.
Dominick's face remained emotionless, and he didn't respond
Scott raised an eyebrow, pasted Dominick's shoulder casually, and casually added, The security just informed me that Stephanie has arrived. Why haven't we seen her? Where could she have gone!"
Dominick's expression shifted subtly.
Suddenly, Courtney raised her voice and shouted, "I swear I saw the door cracked open earlier! You think Stephanie was Estering in""
She wore a strange smile, staring intently at the man on the other side of the glass wall.
Dominick turned his head to meet her gaze, his eyes narrowing.
Then, he turned and walked out without a word
Courtney glared at his retreating back, feeling frustrated. She pounded her right fist against the glass wall and yelled, "People like you, full of venom, no one wants to be around you! Everyone's scared of you!"
The door slammed shut with a bang, cutting off her voice
"Ms. Peterson, I strongly advise you not to provoke him," Scott said. He and Courtney were the only ones left in the room, and it was clear that Scott had a much better temper in comparison
Courtney looked at this gentleman, her makeup in disarray, and a sinister smile curled on her lips as she spoke coldly. "I strongly advise you to let me go, or you'll regret it."
Scout didn't pay much attention to her words.
His gaze lingered on the closed iron door for a moment, frowning as he curiously asked. "Did you really see the door open a crack with Stephanie standing outside?"
Courtney twisted her lips into a smirk. "In a place as secure as this, who else could be eavesdropping but someone you let in?"
Scott's expression hardened. "What were you talking about just now?"

"Look into the surveillance, will you? Why ask me? Courtney's demeanor also turned serious. "Even if I told me" Her words carried a meaningful undertone
"Courtney, you're a very rational woman." Scott seized her up and down "You know the reason why Dominick locked you up."
County suddenly became furious again and shouted at him, "What gives you the right to do this? Just because you have power and money!
"Country, we prason to believe you orchestrated an abducting and rape. As the mastermind behind the incident seven years ago, do you think

Scott remained calm. "It's not just this room that's bugged. We've had eyes on Reed Villa for a while now, We have footage of you breaking into and trashing the place. You also admitted that Stephanie was abducted and nearly raped by some

Courtney shot him a venomous look, biting her lip until it turned white. Their tactic
had clearly caught her off guard.
Furious, she spat back. "I was upset! Can't I just say I was talking out of my ass!
If you've got evidence, then take me to court."
"It seems you really trust Gary. Do you think he destroyed all the evidence for you back then, so you have nothing to worry about?"

Yet, here she was, crying. He couldn't decipher whether it was a performance or
genuine emotion.
In the business world, he had encountered many such deeply cunning and
impressive opponents. Perhaps encountering so many of them had ignited a longing for something more pure and beautiful in life.
Once he found a simple, honest soul, that was something he would never want to
lose.
