Chapter 1163

Author: Mizuki Sei
Chase was silent for a while, then finally heaved a long sigh. "Forget it. Ms. Everheart, I can tell you if you really want to know. I believe that you're the only one in this world who truly cares about him and wants him to be happy. I won't regret it as long as he can resolve that hatred of his. Even if he wants to punish me for it, I'm willing to take the risk..." The man abruptly gulped down his beer, then started to talk about their past.

"You know that he was abandoned when he was young, right? After that, he got adopted by a poor couple in that small fishing village. The couple already had a son and a daughter, so they were very reluctant to adopt my boss. Because of that, they used to hit and scold him all the time, and they also didn't give him food and made him do heavy labour every day." Chase had also grown up poor in that small fishing village, but because he was the only son in his family, he had lived a worry-free life.

"When we were young, the boss was very handsome,

    "Yes, Ms. Garcia was wonderful. She was like a pure flower—simple and naive without any malice in her. She was my boss' motivation to survive. Eventually, he gained enough power to leave the small fishing village, but he suppressed his talent and capabilities just so he could be with her. He stayed in that tiny village and became a humble fisherman...""What happened afterwards? Where did she go? Why didn't my brother mention her?" Renee had so many questions."After that..." Chase frowned and murmured, "That wicked brother of hers bullied her, so my boss beat him up and ran away with Ms. Garcia. I was a rebel too back then, so I went with them. We were just broke kids at the time, so we decided to go to the chaotic Water Dock to survive. We then risked our lives to establish Carmine Pawnshop.""Quinton really is amazing... All of you were." Renee could not imagine how three penniless youths established Carmine Pawnshop in that land of chaos. It was the border of three countries, an

    "Hmph! Of course." Chase snorted in disdain. "He's just a sanctimonious and disloyal man who'll do anything to get what he wants. He was so shameless that he even tricked and fooled a pure, naive girl! Even if he behaves differently and does a lot of charity now, he can’t hide the fact that he's rotten to the core." Chase's opinion of Stefan was similar to his opinion of Joanne—though he hated the man, he couldn't deny that he respected him very much too. After all, he had been Stefan's subordinate for four years at some point. During that time, the despicable man seemed... not as despicable as Chase had thought. It was very conflicting."The light that saved him turned out to be a knife that stabbed him... Joanne's betrayal was a fatal blow to Quinton. No wonder he hates Stefan so much!" After listening to Chase's explanation, Renee finally understood Quinton's character.A betrayal by the person you loved the most was the worst—it could turn even the most innocent person into a m

    "You can hit me or scold me if you're mad, but stop running around like this! It's dangerous!" Xavier watched in horror as the woman ran to the zebra crossing. She tried to cross the road, which terrified him so much that he couldn't breathe. At that moment, a police officer on patrol walked over from the road opposite them, watching them earnestly. "Sir, please help me. This gangster is trying to take advantage of me!" Leia quickly ran over and stood behind the police officer, pointing at Xavier, who was rushing towards her."Leia, stop that! Come here." Xavier extended his hand to her, looking frustrated. "Stop messing around and causing trouble for people.""How outrageous! Don't you see me standing here? What are you trying to do?" The police officer stood before Leia and scolded Xavier loudly."Sir, this is a personal issue, so we don't want to trouble you. Please step aside." Xavier tried his best to calm down and spoke properly to the police officer."Personal issue?" Th

    "Of course, I can prove it!" Xavier declared confidently. "Well... How do you plan to do that?" The police officer sensed there was more to the story, so he was willing to give Xavier a chance to prove his innocence."Take my phone out of my bag. Unlock it with my face and go find a secret photo album. You'll know after you see that." Xavier decided to risk everything to regain his freedom. He even gave up the last bit of his dignity. "A secret photo album?" The police officer was very curious, and so was Leia. She grabbed Xavier's phone before the police officer could. After she used his face to unlock his phone, she asked, "Which secret photo album?" "Umm... It's called 'my bedtime dessert'. Just show it to the police officer." Xavier's handsome face was flushed as he said through gritted teeth. Leia found the hidden photo album and clicked on it. When she saw the photos in it, a blush rose on her cheeks, and she immediately sobered up. "You... Why did you..." She turned

    "Are you sober now?" After Xavia locked his phone, he averted his gaze, acting like nothing had happened."Yeah, I'm sober now." Leia pushed her hair behind her ear and nodded shyly."It's late now. Let me give you a ride home?""Okay." She nodded again, unusually docile. She always thought that Xavier never regarded her as a woman and that he didn't desire her, but when she saw those photos, she knew just how much he longed for her. He had liked her secretly for such a long time... and considered her his bedtime dessert. Of course, she would feel shy. Xavier hailed a cab and told the driver to drive to Osborne Mansion.Although Leia had her house, she spent most of her time staying in Osborne Mansion. Geronimo had five daughters before Leia and Liam were born, so naturally, he cherished the twins greatly. Liam had been traveling around the world for a year now, so he wasn't around at the moment. Hence, Geronimo and his wife focused all their attention on Leia instead. If Leia

    "Mmph—!" Xavier would never have guessed that the previously shy and timid woman would suddenly become so passionate now. His body immediately tensed, and he didn't dare to move.Wrapping her arms around his neck, Leia closed her eyes tightly as she enthusiastically kissed the man before her, the alcohol in her body spurring her on. She had been unsure about Xavier's feelings for her in the past, but she was confident now after seeing those photographs today. "Xavier, just admit it—you like me. You don't have to pretend."She grasped the back of his head, demanding, "Tell me the truth!" Even though Xavier had always been able to handle the countless women who threw themselves at him, Leia was the first person who was so brave and enthusiastic.It was hard for him not to be moved..."Woman, are you a woodpecker? Where did you learn how to kiss? You're terrible at it!" He said hoarsely as he broke off the kiss, and then gently held her face in his hands, and leaned down. His eyes d

    If Xavier and Liam ever bumped into each other in public, they'd usually be at each other's throats.Liam was wearing casual clothes at the moment, and his skin was tanned. He even had a brown cowboy hat on his head, complimenting his carefree look. He narrowed his eyes, sizing Xavier up before he stared at Leia solemnly. "I think you should see an eye specialist, sister dearest. Do you realize that man over there is the infamous playboy of Beach City who's fooled around with countless women? Even if you can't marry yourself off, you don't have to lower your standards this much.""No, you don't understand!" Leia stomped her feet and retorted angrily, "Being a playboy is just a pretence, he's actually a loyal man! I know we were prejudiced against him earlier because of Ren, but you can’t say that about him now!""Tsk! Women are bound to side with their men. How long have you been dating him? Are you both planning to elope?" "Ugh, you wouldn't understand. What we have is true love,

    At last, Leia let Xavier go. If he stayed any longer, he and Liam might get into a fight, and then she would be forced to break up with him. "You heartless man! You travelled the world for such a long time. Did you have any unforgettable experiences? And the most important thing is... Did you come home with a gift for me?" Leia asked eagerly as she helped Liam carry his luggage into the house."The only gift I have for you is a slap! Do you want that? I need to knock some sense into a lovestruck fool like you!" Feeling sad that she had failed to live up to his expectations, he patted her cheeks and asked slowly, "Didn't you suffer another heartbreak recently? Why did you jump into another abyss after you just crawled out of one?" Liam's carelessness had led to the failed relationship between Leia and William in the past. If he had been more strict, his foolish sister wouldn't have been tricked. On the other hand, Xavier was an experienced and slick man—he was much more horrible t

    Jovan awkwardly tried to comfort Renee. However, his words sounded more hurtful and made her cry even louder. "This is all your fault!" Renee raised her head, then pointed at him while bawling loudly. "Did I ever anger you? Why did you frame me? What good did it bring you?""I…" Jovan's heart softened because of how pitiful she looked when she cried profusely. However, he was a pretentious man and would not show that he had gone easy on her. Instead, he tried to provoke her even more. "You can't change anything even if you cry loudly. Austin wants nothing but to kill you and your family now. If I were you, I wouldn't be in the mood to cry. I'll brace myself to manage a funeral for them."Renee was flabbergasted. She didn't expect him to be this inhuman. She was heartbroken, but he kept hurting her. She cried even more profusely."I'll keep on crying. Let me go if you can't take it. If you don't, I'll keep on crying until you can no longer take it!"She cried loudly as if she

    A major issue happened to two famous and great families. The entertainment channel and news channel kept reporting about it, let alone the financial channel.Jovan didn't have to turn to a specific channel when he turned on the TV. The screen was showing a scene related to the engagement ceremony."They…" Only then did Renee learn that while she was waiting in the makeup room for her turn to make an entrance, the atmosphere in the hall had turned very tense. Alexander and Francine argued and fought against Justin's parents in a way unsuited to their statuses. Everyone failed to wait until she made an entrance before she went missing. She saw how the situation gradually became worse. She also noticed Justin's disappointment in her and Austin's wrath. Austin finally couldn't control himself, and kidnapped Alexander and Francine. "The Hunt family has yet to make a statement about it. We also have no clue about Mr. Alexander Hunt and his wife's current circumstances. However, we

    Renee said seriously, "I would like a plate of pasta with more vegetables and is not spicy. I'm afraid this is my last meal."Jovan was rendered speechless. Although Renee was being sarcastic, he still went to the kitchen to make her a delicious plate of pasta. He added some vegetables and a nice fried egg for a balanced diet. "It's done." Jovan had sent off all the servants of the mansion, leaving Renee with him. Hence, he was the one who cooked the pasta and served it to her. "Wow, you're fast." Renee wanted to get a chance to run away since she had sent him away to cook for her, but she couldn't come up with any trick.In the end, she got hungry when she saw the pasta. It was mouth-watering. She was starving!Jovan was good at cooking pasta, even though he didn't seem reliable. The pasta he made tasted like home-cooked food."Give it a try." Jovan didn't say much. He meticulously blew on the pasta and handed her a fork and spoon. Renee accepted it, eager to start eatin

    Jovan watched Renee fall into a deep thought. His gaze deepened, filled with renewed ferocity.Jovan turned his wrist and said slowly, "Okay, stop overthinking. I can tell you the truth if you want to know it." Renee abruptly looked up. Her eyes were teary as she begged him, "What's the truth?" "Listen to me and stay with me." Jovan frowned. After a short contemplation, he grinned and continued, "Stay with me for ten days or half a month. Then, I'll tell you.""That's not possible!"Renee immediately refused him, growing cold. "I have to leave right away. I can't watch the two families get into a fight."If she didn't return to North City immediately to explain things, the Baldwin and Hunt families would get into a big fight. Regardless of her circumstances, she didn't want them to fight. They were good people, and she refused to see them hurt. "Just let them fight. It's just a fight among bad people. Your family can grab this chance to get back to the top. Don't you want tha

    Jovan felt that he wasn't as passionate and loving as Stefan."Stop beating around the bush. Why is he trying to hold himself back? You made a scumbag sound like he'd suffered a lot!" Renee snarled.She gnashed her teeth. If her foot was not chained, she would have long beaten Jovan up for being evasive and mysterious."I think he was forced to give up his beloved woman because of his identity. He has suffered a lot." Jovan frowned, his tone laced with sympathy."What about his identity? I've already known about that. Our grandfathers decided on our marriage. What are we, Romeo and Juliet?" Renee had wondered if their families were sworn enemies. It might be the reason why Stefan was in a dilemma.However, her grandfather made the Hunts take care of her when her family was doomed. Her grandfather always wanted the best for her. He held her hand and told her that only Stefan could make her happy, and only the Hunt family could protect her. It seemed unreasonable that Stefan was

    Jovan was stunned to hear Renee's words. He was so furious, he laughed."Maybe!" He agreed with her and looked at her wickedly. "Since I can't win him over, I want his beloved woman.""You're out of your mind!" Renee was disgusted as goosebumps gripped her. "I'm not his most beloved woman. He loves Briar the most. You got the wrong person. You should kidnap Briar instead. Then, you can get to him."She was acting out of spite, but she meant what she had said.In the past, she was confident that Stefan loved her the most. After so many things had happened, she was no longer as confident. Stefan eventually broke up with her because of Briar. It was enough to prove her position in his heart."Haha! Do you really think so?" Jovan shook his head, his lips a complicated smile. He seemed to be muttering to himself or hinting at something. "Unfortunately, he can't always do a good job. His romance is a mess. His most beloved woman doesn't understand him. How pathetic!""Stop mumbling!

    "You're trying to take revenge on Stefan, aren't you? What did he do? Why do you hate him so much?" Renee demanded.She was particularly clueless.At the very least, she felt that Stefan and Jovan didn't have a grudge even if they couldn't get along. Besides—back then, Stefan survived because of Jovan's blood.In a sense, they should be close to each other. Stefan was able to live on because of Jovan.Yet now, Jovan wanted to ruin the one he had once risked his life to rescue."No, I don't hate him," Jovan answered honestly. "I even admire him, and I'm jealous of him. He's my role model, the pride of my family.""Then, you're envious of him!" Renee went straight to the point. "You can't defeat him, so you tried to make him disappear. When that happens, you'll feel better. No one will block you, and you'll get a chance to shine."Jovan, speechless, slowly stopped smiling. Renee had accurately guessed his innermost thoughts. Since he couldn't defeat Stefan, he would let Stefan b

    The thing Renee feared the most was that Jovan's action would infuriate the Baldwins.Quinton, Adie, Abby, and Margaret were still there. If the Baldwin family wanted to do something bad, Renee's family would be in danger. Her happiness was secondary. She just wanted to ensure that her family was safe and sound.It seemed Austin was full of schemes. Though he seemed to have brought her family to live with her, he in truth just wanted hostages to control her…Unfortunately, she couldn't go back in time even though she had seen through his tricks."What's the rush?" Jovan watched Renee with a meaningful smile. "Someone will handle it even if it's a big mess. Your family will be fine. My foolish cousin won't let them be in danger. At most, the two families will fight fiercely."Renee was shocked. She glared at him, and suddenly understood something. "So you did it on purpose! You wanted to watch them fight and get something from it.""That's not my concern. Once, I was more powerf

    After all, Jovan was a human being. Such direct physical pain made him shake and groan. Normally, he should get angry and try all means to make her stop biting him.However, he was not an ordinary man. Although he trembled in pain, he maintained his posture and let her bite him as if he wanted to see who would give up first.Renee kept biting him fiercely, as if her teeth would gnaw through his palm. Blood oozed out of the wound. She was full of hatred, wishing to vent her anger. "Just bite me hard as long as you're happy. I'm enjoying myself too!"Jovan looked at her, whose head was lowered as she kept biting his palm fiercely. It was a bloody scene, but his words made everything sound ambiguous. Renee noticed his underlying meaning and was disgusted. She immediately let go of his palm. "Bah! Disgusting! You're sick!"Her lips were still stained with blood. From afar, it looked like a blooming rose from afar. It looked attractive on her. Aroused, Jovan held the back of her
