Owen glanced at Stefan, then nodded. "Fine, you have my word. You were willing to fish with me, so if I don't help, it would be rather ungrateful of me... So, where's the patient now? I'll go and treat him."Stefan told him which hospital it was, as well as Quinton's name. "Alright. Let's go back now, I think we can make it," Owen glanced at his watch and said lightly."Are... Are you guys going back to save my brother?" Renee listened to their conversation in disbelief. Stefan had done so much to get Owen here, but he actually had the same goal as Renee—asking Owen to cure Quinton. But... why?She had just argued with Stefan, and he and Quinton were enemies. Why would Stefan fish with a doctor just to ask him to save his enemy? Renee knew that Stefan was a petty man who fussed over everything and would take revenge on anyone who offended him... When did he turn into a kind person?"You're overthinking." Stefan put both hands in his pockets and scoffed arrogantly, "I didn't do

The surgery would take a long time, but Renee did not dare to leave. She waited outside the whole time. When everything was going smoothly, Stefan turned to leave."Wait," Renee whispered suddenly as she stared at his back.Stefan stopped and said arrogantly, "What now?"After a while of nibbling her lip, Renee finally gathered her courage and said, "Thank you." She took a deep breath and continued, "My family was once on friendly terms with yours, but unfortunately, we're enemies now. I hope that our families as well as the Baldwins can put their prejudices aside and be at peace after Quinton is cured. I believe that's what our ancestors would want too."Stefan stared at Renee, disappointment blooming on his face as he sneered. "So, your only expectation of me is peace between our families?" "What else would it be?" Renee swallowed in panic, not knowing how to face Stefan. Too many things had happened between them that she couldn't ignore, and she couldn't get close to him aga

In the plastic surgery hospital."Where's everyone? Come out now!" A clear and overbearing voice rang out through the entire hospital.Leia clenched her fists tightly and walked towards the plastic surgery room where Quinton was previously. She said firmly, "I won't leave if you guys don't come out and explain what happened to me. I'll make such a scene that you won't be able to run a business here anymore!"After she bade Renee goodbye the other day, she investigated and interviewed a lot of people. She found that there were many doubts surrounding Quinton's case. It seemed more likely that foul play was involved, and it wasn't because of Quinton's health or a careless mistake. She felt that she needed to be held responsible for the incident since it was her suggestion and she had asked Xavier for the doctor's contact.Hence, she had rushed to the hospital to demand an explanation.The assistant of the doctor who performed the plastic surgery for Quinton cautiously walked over an

"It's okay, this place is safe. Your colleagues and superiors aren't here," Leia said reassuringly.The young woman stared down into her cup of coffee for a long time. She looked conflicted as she said slowly, "To be honest, I found that surgery weird because Doctor Leslie Snyder is always very cautious. He would use the anesthesia with the lowest risk if he could, but… he behaved strangely that day. He insisted on using the forbidden anesthesia. Although that anesthesia is effective, its side effects are strong. One of the side effects is causing the patient to go into shock and enter a long coma. It's what we call brain death!""A forbidden anesthesia?" Leia was shocked when she heard that. Unexpectedly, their enemy had been that bold. Renee's instincts were right—it had been a deliberate attempt at murder."At first, I disagreed with it, but Doctor Snyder claimed that we were out of imported anesthesia and this surgery couldn't be delayed, so we had to take a risk. Although it wa

Shirley was a new rising star. Although her commercial value was average, her fans and fame were excellent. Thus, her whereabouts were a secret, and it was hard for ordinary people to meet her. Even after asking around, Leia didn't gain any useful clues. Finally, she braced herself and went to Universal Entertainment. She'd decided to ask Xavier about Shirley. After all, Shirley was his first love, so he should know everything about Shirley.When the young receptionist saw Leia, she immediately got up and welcomed her enthusiastically. "Miss Osborne, you must be here to see Mr. Stuart. He's in his office now. You can go up without making an appointment.""Oh... Okay." Leia scratched her hair and looked at the eager receptionist doubtfully. She had dated Xavier secretly in the past, and not many people had known about it. She had to go through a very complicated procedure every time she went to Universal Entertainment to see him, and meeting him without an appointment was very diffi

They reached the top floor, and the door of the elevator opened automatically. However, the employee did not step out of the elevator, and instead cheered Leia on. "You can do it. I won't go in with you, but you can call us if anything happens."When Leia stepped out of the elevator, the employee left quickly.Leia huffed in irritation. 'Why do I feel like I'm sacrificing myself?'When she reached the door of Xavier's office, she heard his angry roar from afar."Is your marketing department completely useless? How dare you sign on a novice with such poor skills? What makes them different from this trainee from Korshach? How competitive is this novice? I can easily find a better person. Get lost and reflect on your mistake!"After that, a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses was driven out of the office with a stack of documents. The man pitifully squatted down on the floor to pick up the documents, looking unhappy."Let me help you." Leia squatted down and helped him pick up

"I... I'm sorry." Xavier was stunned, and spoke like a child who had made a mistake. "My employees can handle being rebuked. They won't change if I don't scold them, so I have to do this""Is that really the reason? You're overly violent, so they don't dare to resist." Leia glared at him as she touched her swollen forehead, gritting her teeth in pain. "Did I wrong you? Why am I so unlucky whenever I meet you?""Come here, let me take a look." Xavier pulled her hand away. When he saw a slight scratch on her forehead, he felt very sorry for her. He blew at the wound gently and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. "Wait. I have ointment and a plaster here. Let me tend to it." He then led her to the sofa and opened his drawer to get the small medical kit. He was attentive and considerate, being unusually gentle and kind. It was very different from his usual frivolity. "Stop it, I'm not that weak. It'll heal soon..." Leia tried her best to keep her distance because she didn't want to

Cut the crap! Here, I'll fix it." Leia became flustered because of his words, so she grabbed his face with her hands. Recalling what she learned in her university elective lesson about putting back one's joints, she applied a bit of force, and they soon heard a crack. "Move it and see if it's cured," she clapped and said confidently.Xavier moved his chin, and to his surprise, it didn't hurt as badly. Nonetheless, he wanted to bluff Leia. "No, it still hurts. Hmm, my face is going to be ruined now. What do you think you should do to compensate me?" "It still hurts? That can't be." Leia frowned and took a step forward. She then grabbed his face again. "Should I do it again?""No, I'm fine now." Xavier immediately dodged. He might die instead of merely ruining his face if he went through that again. Leia realized he had tricked her, and became furious. "Can you be serious? Is it fun to fool me?" "Yes, it's fun!" Xavier smirked and got close to her. "I think it's fun when we bic

Adie was still a child, but he acted like a smart person and could see through a lot of things. He could guess why Austin took them to the Baldwin residence. He had also heard the servants of the Baldwin family rebuking Renee in secret. After combining various situations, he learned about what had happened between Renee and Justin. Despite everything, Justin could forgive Renee under such circumstances. He also treated Adie and Abby nicely. It proved that he was a very compassionate man. A small regret gripped Adie. He wondered why Renee didn't date Justin right from the start. If Renee were with such a kind man, she might be very happy. She wouldn't have to suffer through so many hardships either. "No, you don't know me. I always sweat the small stuff."Justin was displeased since Adie had claimed that he was a good guy, like Renee had. He heaved a long sigh and said, "But it's useless even if I sweat the small stuff, so I stop trying. It all comes down to fate. We can't forc

Renee turned and found Jovan unscathed. Relief washed over her. She said grumpily, "It's none of your business!""Tsk! How cruel!" Jovan clutched his chest and pretended to be in deep pain. At the same time, he teased, "I know. Your soulmate is better. I'm so jealous of him, though he's still a fallback guy.""Go to hell, Jovan!" Jovan's nasty words drove Renee mad. She grabbed a piece of napkin, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at his face. "If I knew you'd talk so badly, I wouldn't be bothered to save you. Maybe you'll get reborn in Ulria. Then, you have to watch your tongue!""Hey! Yeah, I was wrong. You don't have to curse me like that!" Jovan raised his hands to surrender, but felt quite moved. He poured himself a glass of milk and devotedly toasted to her. "Thank you for caring about me and trying your best to save me. I'll toast to you. And you can do whatever you want.""You're so childish." Renee rolled her eyes and was amused.Justin was quite jealous to see them

"What's that?" Justin frowned and said with disdain, "That's something to fool naive women like you. Only lovestruck fools will believe that." As a materialistic person, he never believed in things like horoscopes and fortune-telling. At most, they were mixed with some psychology. They weren't trustworthy at all.If Renee wanted to use those things to talk about their relationships and destinies, it would seem very childish. "Don't be so extreme. Those things are real and logical." Renee acted like an experienced salesperson and gradually eliminated Justin's prejudice. She said patiently, "If you believe those things, they can guide you and help you to see things through. If not, you can use them to kill time. Just try to get to know them. Isn't that nice?"Finally, Justin was convinced. He had some milk and asked her leisurely, "Fine. Tell me what kind of relationship we have based on those things." "I learned that our relationship is a declining friendship based on our birt

"I…" Renee paused. For a moment, she had no idea how to answer that question."Don't put yourself in a difficult position. Just follow your heart," Justin said calmly. "If you want to stay, my family will still welcome you readily. If you want to leave, I'll come up with a way to help you leave smoothly."After listening to Justin, Renee answered honestly, "Maybe it's better for me to leave, though I know this choice will hurt you."She could choose to stay to protect Justin's dignity and give Austin a good explanation. It would be more relaxing and steadier for her. However, Renee knew that it could only last briefly. She would cause Justin greater harm. She might as well be decisive and stop the damage in time. "Don't say that." Justin cracked a bitter smile and said with relief, "I've stopped taking things too seriously. If you like me, you won't stop loving me even if we're apart. Similarly, you'll think about another man if you don't like me, even though you're always b

Austin was having breakfast in the dining room. When he saw Justin and Renee walk over intimately, he finally believed that they had slept together. They seemed like a real couple."Good morning, Grandpa Baldwin!" Renee obediently greeted Austin just like before. She acted normally."Good morning." Austin nodded, unable to suppress his smile. After sizing them up, he calmly said to Renee, "We know how apologetic you are after you toasted to us last night. We'll forget about the past. You're still a part of my family." "Grandpa!" Justin interrupted Austin; he was very protective of Renee. "She's a woman, and we're not married yet. Please don't say that. A woman's reputation is the most important thing.""You…" Austin wanted to refute Justin, but their conflict was just resolved so it would be bad to pressure them more. He shook his head and said, "Fine. You two always have a bland romance. Finally, you've made some progress. I'll let you two decide what to do next.""Got it, Gr

"Hey, Haze! What are you doing? Get off of me!" Renee struggled in confusion."Hush!" Justin gestured and stopped her.In a while, someone unlocked the door of the room."Mr. Baldwin, let me help you and Ms. Everheart change your clothes." A kind middle-aged woman walked into the room casually. When she found them sleeping together intimately, relief washed over her. "Oh, you guys are still sleeping… Fine, I'll leave you be." Then, the woman exited the room.After that, Justin stopped hovering above Renee, looking awkward. "I'm sorry. It happened all of a sudden. If I hadn't done that, they wouldn't let us go. I just did a small thing to resolve the issue." Justin was fully aware of Austin's thoughts. Although Austin was still angry at Renee, he was satisfied with her and wanted to see her get into a real intimate relationship with Justin. If that did not happen, Austin might tie them up together since the drug had failed. Justin could only act with Renee to avoid the in

Renee grinned, satisfied after a long rest. "Why didn't you sleep a bit longer? This bed is comfortable and fluffy." While talking, she behaved like a fish as she extended her limbs and rolled around in bed childishly. In comparison to her calmness and ease, Justin behaved gingerly and did not dare to move as he lay in bed."Do you have any idea what had happened? We aren't dreaming. We're lying in the same bed," Justin said.He was certain that Renee was not fully awake. It explained why she was that composed. Otherwise, any normal woman would get out of bed with a start and keep screaming if they found herself lying in a man's bed."I know!" Renee said. After having a great time rolling around, Renee faced Justin with her head on her arm while lying on her side. "I wanted to drink wine to say sorry to you guys last night, but your family drugged the wine. You drank the same wine when you tried to stop me. We were controlled by the drug and were locked up in this room. T

Renee instantly understood what Justin meant by that. It turned out that the incident was just a part of the Baldwin family's plan. If she left, the Baldwin family would not easily let her off the hook.Justin still cared about her at a time like that, which moved her. "Thank you. You're great." Renee cried; she had no idea how to repay him. "You don't have to thank me. I'm not so great, either. I just hate that they always pester me." Justin purposely sounded relaxed. He finally calmed himself down as he casually grabbed some bandages to bandage his wound. Then, he lay in bed.He slept on one side of the bed and said to Renee, "It's late. You should rest early. This bed is large enough. If you don't mind, you can lie in bed too."The bed was large. It was more than enough even if Renee and Justin lay there."I…" Renee hesitated briefly before she finally got in bed. She trusted Justin. If he wanted to do something indecent to her, he would have long done that. He would no

"I don't know how to tell you. I'm sure you can understand." Renee could not bring herself to say more because it was a humiliating privacy. She might as well keep it to herself."Let me guess…" Justin's gaze grew sharp as he went straight to the point. "The man in your story is Stefan, isn't it?" Silence washed over Renee as she kept her head bowed. It was a silent approval.Justin burst into reckless laughter, which was scary. He looked down at his cut wound and laughed pathetically. "This is why he could make you fall in love with him, and I couldn't. I'm too cultured compared to him.""Don't say that, Haze!"Seeing how defeated Justin was, Renee became uneasy. "It isn't written in the stars for us. Plus, I've fallen in love with Stefan a long time ago before I even got to know you. I also rely on him physically and psychologically. I can't control my feelings. It's not something we can change. We…" "Stop!" Heartbroken, Justin pushed away everything in front of him and s
