Before anyone could say anything, the trouble Margaret mentioned burst onto the scene.It was none other than Jovan. "My dear cousin, that's not very cool of you..." Jovan was dressed smartly in a suit with his hair slicked back, and he walked towards them gracefully. His lips curved upwards into a smirk, and he said teasingly, "I heard you had a little accident, cousin of mine. The Hunts and the Murphys are doing all they can to look for you, but here you are, clinging to a woman you can't seem to leave. You certainly know how to enjoy life.""Jovan, what are you doing here?" Renee stood in front of Stefan protectively, and glared at Jovan like he was a monster. "Trying to be the knight in shining armour, Renee? I don't think your 'damsel in distress' would appreciate it." Jovan scoffed, staring at Renee and Stefan shrewdly. "Woman, do you have any idea how much trouble you've caused?" However, Renee ignored Jovan and turned to Margaret. "Margaret, get Stefan out of here. I'll
Jovan held his hands out, looking remorseful. "Well, you know the rules of Hunt Enterprise..."Renee frowned and asked quickly, "What rules?""You're close to Stefan, so I'm surprised you don't know this. There's a rule in Hunt Enterprise stating that whoever takes over the company must be physically healthy and have full civil power. If not, a new leader will be selected from the legal heirs.""So, you did all this to prove that he doesn't have full civil power so you can replace him as the legal heir of Hunt Enterprise?" Renee sneered."No need to paint me as a villain, Renee. I'm just worried about my dear cousin's health. As for whether I have to replace him as the head of Hunt Enterprise, it depends on the board of directors. I am just a pawn in their hands." Jovan shrugged casually, his eyes glinting."Yes, clearly you're innocent in all this," Renee scoffed sarcastically, infuriated by Jovan's words.On the contrary, Stefan was very calm. He said expressionlessly, "That is
Renee's aura was so strong that the medical team immediately froze. They didn't dare to approach this woman who looked like a ferocious tigress protecting her cub. "Er..." The members of the medical investigation team glanced at Stefan, then turned to the directors helplessly. "Hmph! What a pathetic woman!" Jovan looked at Renee coldly. She had risked her life for Stefan, and Jovan was so jealous that it almost drove him mad. He flashed her a sinister smile. "You claim that he's your man, but why don't you ask him if he is?" He walked over to Renee and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "You care so much about him, but he doesn't even remember you. Clearly, you're not that important to him. Don't you find yourself pitiful?" Renee was at a loss for words. She pursed her lips, unable to deny it. Jovan knew her weakness, and was cruelly using it against her. 'He's not wrong... Stefan, you jerk! How can you remember everyone but me?' When Jovan saw the pain in Renee's eyes, he st
Renee's body was so weak that she couldn't even struggle to free herself. She had used too much of her blood as medicine for Stefan, and now, she couldn't even fight against a worthless piece of trash like Jovan. She felt so useless. After a long silence, Stefan finally spoke up, "Let them evaluate my health, since everyone's so curious about my condition." The medical staff heaved a sigh of relief and approached Stefan to carry out the evaluation. "Mr. Hunt, we will begin now. We'll inspect your brain first. Please bear with us." "No, you can't!" Renee screamed, exhausting herself as she struggled in Jovan's grasp. "Don't let them touch you! You're Stefan Hunt! Didn't you say that you weren't a coward? How can you admit defeat so easily?!" Renee knew that if Hunt Enterprise did have such a rule, Jovan would succeed as soon as the medical report was produced. She didn't understand why Stefan would admit defeat at such a critical moment. However, Stefan ignored Renee's advice
The members of the board of directors produced a document and handed it to Stefan respectfully. "Mr. Hunt, this is the document to give up the right to manage Hunt Enterprise. We need your signature, but we don't know if you can sign it on your own given your current condition." Stefan raised his head slightly, and said calmly, "Give me the pen." "No, you can't sign that!" Renee tried her best to break free of Jovan's grasp, but she was too weak to. "Let go of me! I'll kill you, I swear!" She struggled in Jovan's arms desperately. Out of options, she grabbed his arm and bit it savagely. "Hush, be good. This is Stefan's choice. Even if I let you go, he'll still sign it. You don't have to meddle in this." "Jovan, you're despicable! Do you think you can defeat him using such underhanded methods? I won't let you succeed. You'll always be inferior to him!" Renee bit into Jovan's arm fiercely, trembling all over. The coppery scent of blood filled the air as it seeped into her mouth.
"It's… none of my business?" Renee felt humiliated. She had tried her best to protect Stefan, but it seemed like it meant nothing to him.She… meant nothing to him. "You're right. It's your business, so it has nothing to do with me. I must be bored, that's why I'm doing all this." Overwhelmed with sadness, Renee staggered back a few steps. Jovan caught her shaky body before she fell, and sneered mockingly, "If you're so bored, go do charity. Help the kids in Zambawi, save the elephants, or go to teach in rural areas; there's no need to meddle in others' business. He doesn't even appreciate your efforts." "It's none of your business what I do. I didn't ask for your opinion." Renee shot him a disdainful glare and pushed him away violently. Renee was stubborn, but her body failed her. She fell to the floor hard after taking a few shaky steps."Ms. Ren! Ms. Ren!" Margaret shouted in panic. -Renee didn't know how much time had passed when she woke up. When she opened her eyes, h
Renee's body stiffened as she glared at him coldly. "You said before that I would beg you one day, so is that what you're waiting for?" "You can say that." Jovan frowned slightly. Like a warlord that was one step away from conquering an enemy, he was feeling quite calm and sure of himself. "Don't you feel sorry for him? You even risked your life for him. However, if you beg me, I’ll announce to the public that I'll give up my right of inheritance... Hunt Enterprise will still be his. What do you think?" "Really?" Renee stared at him hopefully. She knew Hunt Enterprise was very significant to Stefan; he had worked so hard for it for so many years. If it was snatched away by a despicable man like Jovan, Stefan's heart would break. Renee couldn't bear to see that. "Of course. If not, why would I still be here? I would have gone to celebrate with a bottle of champagne ages ago." Jovan leaned towards her, feeling bold when he saw uncertainty flash in her eyes. He lifted her chin so
His gloomy eyes lit up like a lighthouse at night, as if her words had sparked a flame of hope in his soul. Elated, he asked her eagerly, "Does that mean that you can't bear to see me dead?" "That's irrelevant." Renee huffed impatiently. "I just want to know what you want in return if I beg you to let Stefan go.""Well, it isn't a price, but rather, a choice you have to make." Jovan took a deep breath. It was rare to see such calmness and rationality on his handsome face. "If you're willing to live an isolated life with me, I'll give Hunt Enterprise up. I'll even stop meddling in all those disputes and fights." "That's it? I just have to go with you?" Renee asked in bewilderment. She thought that he would make an outrageous request such as serving him or something like that, and had been prepared to slap and scold him for being a pervert.Surprisingly... all he wanted was that."That's right. That's all I want." Jovan closed his eyes, longing clear on his face. "We'll find a sec
