Chapter 103
Stephanie, who had been reborn, would never be kidnapped or tortured by others again.
She would not tolerate Nancy unconditionally just because Nancy’s father had shown kindness to Vincent.
if Nancy committed any horrible deeds, and Vincent could not bear to take any action, then Stephanie did not mind tainting her hands.
Looking at the seriousness on Stephanie’s face, Vincent lifted a hand to stroke her cheek. He said, “If she brings harm to us, I won’t forgive her. You don’t have to stain your hands.”
Hearing that, Stephanie felt relieved.
The thing in the wooden box was restless at first, but it quieted down soon as if it were tasting blood.
The couple returned to the condominium, After washing up, they lay on the bed.
These two days had exhausted Stephanie. She fell asleep quickly
Vincent kissed her hair and closed his eyes as well.
In a luxury hotel, as soon as Florence finished serving Roger, she received a call from Matilda.
She turned to the bathroom before answering the call in a low voice, “What’s up?”
“Have you watched the news?” Matilda asked.
Frowning, Florence asked, “What news?”
“Stephanie is the protégé of Ronan, the appraisal expert! The Jimenez family genes are awesome!*
Florence felt sullen. She said, “Mom, what do you mean? Are you complimenting others to step on me? Do you dislike me that much? If I had been the one who was switched back then, I would be living the life right now!”
“I didn’t mean that…” her mother explained.
“Why did Stephie get switched and not me? Why do I have a weak heart? Mom, you owe me. You know that, right? Tell your little Meg not to enjoy her life so much. She owes me! Otherwise, don’t blame me for fighting with her to the death!”
Before Matilda could say anything, Florence hung up the phone.
News about the auction that night kept turning up on the screen,

[I’m a woman, too, but I love her so muchij
[I don’t know how many hidden identities Stephanie still has. She certainly surpasses a bunch of self–righteous men and women!]
[Me too. This is hilarious. If Stephanie and Florence hadn’t cut ties, the latter might even shamelessly say that M
Mr. Zachmann is her mentor.]
Just thinking about that time Stephanie gave her honor to this ingrate, only to be betrayed later, makes me so mad
[Ladies, don’t be angry. That Ingrate has gotten what she deservest Douglas is dead!”
I saw that ingrate with an older man who’s old enough to be her father!] Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
[She’ll have her karma. She’d better stay hidden and not leave her house. Otherwise, she might get struck by a bolt from the blue.]
Florence got so mad that she wanted to smash her phone, but she could not bear it. After all, she bought it with her own money.
She gritted her teeth as her heart was filled with resentment.
Stephanic could enjoy the fruits of her success because Florence had done the hard work!
Florence had fabricated tons of scandals about Stephanie before. That was why the latter fled the country, and she learned so many skills abroad.
On the other hand, Florence had achieved nothing. Moreover, she had gotten so miserable, having to submit to an older man.
Yet, Stephanie’s loyal fans kept flogging her when clearly what happened that night had nothing to do with her!
She pondered, ‘My parents must have brought me bad luck! If not them, it has to be Stephanie, my sister!‘
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She called Matilda on the phone. “Mom, I’m going to attend the birthday party tomorrow!” she
“No! You can’t make trouble for Meg! Haven’t we discussed this?” Matilda said.
“Trouble? I’m practically keeping you fed and clothed. Roger doesn’t pay me enough. I hardly have money to spend on myself I don’t intend to make trouble for your precious daughter. Ask her to invite me so that I can get a wealthy husband! Why does she get a life of luxury while we live in poverty and hardship?”
“You have such a bad reputation now. Where can you get a rich husband?” Matilda questioned.
Florence gnashed her teeth in anger and shouted, “I have a bad reputation because I wasn’t the gne who got switched! Mom, you all owe me. If I can’t get the invitation, I’ll make a stir at the hotel tomorrow night!”
She hung up the phone, dressed up, and was about to leave when the bathroom door opened, and Roger emerged, his beer belly in obvious sight.
“you leaving?” he asked.
Florence straightened her clothes and raised her chin. “Mr. Hennesey, let’s not stay in contact. I’m fed up with your portliness!” she said.
Enraged, Hoger was about to slap her..
Florence went on, “I’m attending Mrs. Jimenez’s birthday party tomorrow night. If you slap me, my new sugar daddy will get even with you!”
Roger was stunned. He thought, ‘Has this bitch hooked up with a more influential man?”

He could not afford to offend her, so he retracted his hand and watched gloomily as she loft, her hips swaying.

Mrs. Jimenez’s birthday party was held at the Millennium Hotel.
The guests invited were all big shots from various fields.
A black Bentley came to a stop at the entrance. Zane got out of the car and opened the door behind the driver’s seat.
Stephanie and Christina got out of the car.
Zane took out the wheelchair from the trunk, opened the door of the passenger seat and helped Vincerit into the wheelchair.
Looking at the man’s sullen face, Christina muttered in a low voice, “Stephanie, Uncle Vincent has looked back thirty–three times along the way. I think he’s awfully obsessive about his wife.”
Stephanie held back her laughter. Christina insisted on sitting next to Stephanie after they had gone to fetch her.
Vincent disagreed. Christina proposed a game of rock–paper–scissors. The best two out of three would be the winner. The loser would have to take the passenger seat.
Vincent was not one to engage in such a childish game, but he could not resist Christina’s pleas.
He never thought that he would lose badly. But he did lose all three times.

Hence, he had to squeeze into the passenger seat.
Christina held Stephanie’s arm and smiled. “Uncle Vincent, I also want to sit next to Stephanie on our return trip,” she said.
Vincent tapped his fingers on the wheelchair’s armrest and said, “Of course, you can. However, about the latest drone that you want…”
Christina instantly let go of Stephanie’s arm and brought her to Vincent. “Stephanie, I’ll take the passenger seat later, I felt a little dizzy sitting at the back
just now,”
Stephanie was rendered speechless.
As far as she knew, Christina had had a great time in the back row a moment ago.
Vincent nodded with satisfaction. “Whatever it is you want and would like to get, just tell me,” he said.
Christina’s eyes twinkled. She said, “Uncle Vincent is the best in the whole wide world!
Stephanie had nothing to say.
China turned to her. “Stephanie, I’ll head in to check out the food first!”
Stephanie knew Christina did not dare to be the third wheel anymore. Pushing Vincent’s wheelchair, she followed Christina.
At the banquet hall entrance, a group of people gathered around a tall man in a navy blue suit. He was Matthew Jimenez, the eldest son of the Jimenez family and the head of Jimenez Group.
When Matthew spotted Vincent and Stephanie, he made his way through the crowd, extended his right hand, and greeted, “Hello, Mr. Fletcher.”
Vincent politely accepted the handshake and greeted back, “Hello, Mr. Jimenez,”

Astonishment flashed through Matthew’s eyes as he tu
her, “Ms. Hayes.”
Other than the Fletcher family and the Hayes family, no one else knew that Vincent and Stephanie had gotten their marriage license, so everyone else still referred to her as Ms. Hayes,
Vincent, of course, noticed the shift in Matthew’s eyes. He did not like other men staring at Stephanie. In a low voice, he muttered, “We’re married, but we haven’t announced it to the public.”
Hearing this, Matthew immediately understood what the man meant. Vincent was reminding him not to make a move on Stephanie.
Matthew smiled and went on to explain, “Mrs. Fletcher has my mother’s eyes. That surprised me. If I didn’t know that she’s married to you, I might suspect that Mrs. Fletcher is the long–lost daughter of the Jimenez family.”
