Renee and Stefan were so close that they could feel each other's breath. The warm air that Stefan exhaled reeked of alcohol. Misty-eyed, he gently lifted her chin with his lanky fingers and asked, "What happened that night?"Renee frowned, suspicion written all over her face."Have you genuinely forgotten, or are you just evading any responsibility?""Why don't you tell me?" Stefan replied in a husky voice, though it was unclear if he was serious when he added, "Only after you tell me will I find out what I remember and forgot." "That night…" Renee almost blurted out the truth, but in the end, she still chose to remain silent about it.After all, even though she rarely got drunk, she would still have the impression of what she said and did the night before when she did. She would never cleanly forget everything. So, she found it hard to believe that Stefan did not remember anything.Unless… he deliberately chose to forget!Since he intended to forget it, she would only make t

Elijah pushed his glasses and matter-of-factly told Renee, "You might not know this, Madam, but whenever Mr. Hunt gets drunk, he always ends up like this. In fact, you're not the first person he hugs so tightly like a bolster, unwilling to let go. Trust me, Madam. We've been through this. I know for a fact that it's perfectly feasible.""So," he added, "if you don't mind, I must trouble you to endure it for just a while. Once Mr. Hunt has sobered up, I'm sure he'll be really grateful."Naturally, everything he said was nonsense. He merely intended to give Stefan and Renee a chance to be closer, because the sober version of Stefan Hunt would never do anything that would hurt his ego or embarrass him. Despite that, women's hearts were conquered by the constant pursuit, especially a woman as perfect as Renee, now that she had become the director of the Electronics Technology Association. How else could Stefan win her heart if he refused to exert a little effort and employ a few tricks?

Francine shouted at Renee, "You've already divorced Stefan, yet you still pester him. Now you even dare to come to Hunt Villa and provoke us. How could there be such a shameless woman like you!"Elijah wanted to explain, but he was cut short by Renee, who was a step quicker. She retorted back venomously, "Ms. Francine, please open your eyes wider and see who’s bothering who. You failed as a mother for having a son so shameless.""You…"Francine was so mad that she couldn’t form her words properly.“Before this, I was your daughter-in-law, and I respected you. But now that I am no longer related to the Hunts, I will sue you for emotional harm if you offend me again.”After speaking, Renee tried to push Stefan away with all her strength but failed.She couldn’t help but suspect that he was doing it on purpose."Stefan, are you done fooling around? Let go of me, or I will hurt you!"Renee had her fist clenched, and she was about to strike him.She didn't want to spend another sec

After Renee left, Briar smiled satisfyingly.She carried the drunken Stefan and said to Francine, “Ms. Francine, I'll take Stefan to the room now. I believe my engagement to Stefan will be sealed soon after tonight.”Francine nodded. “Yes. We need to grab hold of the opportunity.”Although she wasn’t satisfied with Briar, compared to Renee, Briar listened to her more.She hoped that Briar could make use of tonight so that Renee doesn’t try to come again.Elijah was getting anxious as he stood by the side. He felt that Stefan was in danger.He couldn’t figure out how Renee would be willing to give up the man she loved to a woman like Briar.‘Does Ms. Everheart really not love Mr. Hunt anymore? If that’s the case, Mr. Hunt will be in a lot of trouble!’ he thought.“Stefan, I’ll take you to your room.”Suddenly, Stefan pushed Briar away and said emotionlessly, “Go away. You’re not her.”Seeing this, Briar was a little stunned and asked carefully, “Stefan, have you sobered up?”

Stefan woke up the next day with his head weighing a million pounds.He looked around and saw Elijah sitting in front of the bed, observing him with a frown."Mr. Hunt, you’re finally awake. My mission is done. I can leave now." He let out a sigh of relief and seemed excited.With Stefan completely out of it last night, all he could do was guard him the entire night. Elijah feared that Briar, who was yearning for a chance with Stefan, would sneak in and take advantage of the man while he was out of commission.Stefan rubbed his temples and frowned as he tried to recall everything that happened last night.The only memory he had was playing finger guessing with Renee."Did I get drunk last night?"He resumed his cold demeanor, sounding indifferent. "Based on my skills, there's no way I lost control," he stated firmly.Hearing this, Elijah rolled his eyes secretly.'Here we go again. Every time Mr. Hunt gets drunk, he will forget everything that happened, and he would deny all h

Today was the day that Renee was supposed to officially move out of Sunup Residence.Although it was mainly because she wanted to avoid her ex-husband, Stefan, she had also been dreaming about moving to her new place for four years.Her new place would be the Everheart Manor!After the Everheart family went bankrupt four years ago, the court sold off their three-story mansion.Nevertheless, since her parents had passed away at the manor, no one dared to purchase it, even at a modest price.It was auctioned off again a few days ago.This time, Renee bought it for 1.5 billion without further hesitation.She only told Leia and Liam about her new home, who both wanted to throw her a housewarming party. Leia even said that she'd be bringing a mysterious guest.Renee quickly agreed to it as she wanted the abandoned Everheart Residence to feel lively again.She hadn’t stayed in Sunup Residence for long, and there wasn’t much to pack. Before leaving, she gave the door one last look

Renee noticed that the iron fence had been knocked down, and in one spot, the tall grass had been trodden on, with footprints in the wet mud.It was obvious that someone had come to the house before. The footprints, however, indicated that they went in but never came out.There was a high possibility that the person was still inside!Behind her, the man from the moving company put down her baggage and wiped his sweat nervously. "Miss, I’ve put all your stuff here. I’m not going in there. A word of advice, get out of here as soon as possible when you can."Renee turned around to look at the man and asked worriedly, "Do you know what’s wrong with the house? Everyone seems to be saying there’s something wrong with it."The man gulped nervously and stole a glance at the house. “Haven’t you heard? The couple who owned the house ended their lives there. Their ghosts are trapped there, and the house has become haunted!”"I know the owners passed away, but I believe it's nothing more tha

A handsome man in a black suit walked down from the second floor."Haze!" Renee’s eyes widened in surprise.He had disappeared after letting her go when he didn't reveal her identity as Phoenix in front of Stefan the last time.She thought he'd returned to Aplen.His appearance made her assume he must harbor a hidden motive for suddenly appearing in her house and helping her clean."Judging from the disappointed look on your face, I guess I'm unwelcome?"He walked to the middle of the stairs and looked down at Renee. His smile had a sense of wickedness to it. "I’ve been busy since the afternoon. I’m so tired that I feel like my back will break. If anything happens to me, you're the one responsible.""Ahem!" Renee shuddered from embarrassment. She never thought that the intelligent hacker would be this flirtatious. "Stop your gloating and get down here!"Liam glared at Haze and stated sternly. "There’s no way you’ll do all these without a price. If my sister didn’t want you he

Liam was impressed while looking at Justin's calm expression. He had always thought that Justin was cunning and full of schemes. He was even worried that Justin might plot against Renee in the future.However, Justin was quite open and generous. He was considering things from Renee's angle. He could be Renee's haven, but if he stepped down, he could willingly grant Renee's wish to be with the one she loved. It seemed that Justin was selfless, and Liam felt that he was worse than Justin. No wonder Renee would choose to spend the rest of her life with Justin. It seemed like he was a reliable man.Justin pocketed his hands and asked casually, "Is there any other problem now?""Not at the moment." Liam frowned in defeat. Since Justin had made such a big compromise, he would seem like a fool if he was too arrogant and refused to give up. A long sigh escaped him as he let go of Renee's hand, but he was still hopeful. He boasted to Justin, "Wait and see! I'll make Stefan appear.""Go

"Let go of her!" Justin turned cold and grabbed Renee's other hand. He said darkly to Liam, "You don't have the right to take her with you!""Hmph! I don't have the right to take her with me? Well, you don't have the right to marry her. I must take her with me today. Worst comes to worst, I'll fight your family!"Though he was too weak to fight the powerful Baldwin family, Liam was never a coward. He would fight the whole world alone for the sake of Renee's happy and stable life."Calm down…"In comparison, Justin was calmer. He was probably more confident since it was his territory and he could affirm Renee would not leave with Liam. He started mocking Liam. "I'm not the kind of person who will force others to do things they refuse to do. If Ren wants to leave, I'll let her go even if my family disowns me. But I know that she won't leave. At the very least, she won't leave with you.""What do you mean?" Liam could tell that Justin was mocking him, and it annoyed him. "Why are

Liam felt that his situation at the fort was almost the same as Renee's current situation. He had thought that the marriage was just for show. If he was unhappy, he could get a divorce. Even then, things were not that easy when he wanted to get out of that mess. If Amber had not protected him, Benjamin would have long gotten him killed. He knew better than anyone else how unfair it was for the other party when one tolerated and went through with the marriage.Amber was naive and was willing to be treated unfairly, but Justin was no fool. He would not be able to take it if it lasted for a long time. It was easy to imagine what Renee would face when Justin stopped taking her side."Let's go! I'm not afraid. You don't have to be afraid, either." Liam made up his mind to support Renee, who was standing behind him.Renee bit her lips and started to waver; not because she did not want to be with Justin, but simply because she was not confident in herself. She was afraid she would neve

"Liam, what are you doing?" Leia looked at Liam, unable to understand his sudden excitement."I'm going to meet Austin or Justin. I want them to cancel this engagement ceremony." Liam held Renee's wrist and tried to drag her out of the suite.He was certain Renee didn't want to marry Justin, so it was very likely that she would regret it in the future. It would be hard to settle if she regretted it after the engagement party. Liam felt that he had to try his best to put everything under control while he still could. Feeling helpless, Leia complained, "Stop making a scene… This is Ren's marriage. You can't make all this fuss!""You don't know. I'm doing this for her. I want the best for her." Liam knew the consequences of resisting Austin, given the man's position. He was also ready to be punished by them. Even though he would be beaten up vigorously, he would not hesitate as long as he could stop the ceremony and help Renee avoid such risks. "If you want the best for her, just

Leia felt so awkward that she wanted to run away. "Hey, can you stop flattering yourself? You haven't settled your messy romance, so please don't get Ren involved. You shouldn't joke like that!"Similarly, Liam found his joke impudent and admitted to his mistake. "Yeah, I was wrong. Don't take my joke seriously."Both Renee and Leia were amused. It helped relieve their tension. "But have you thought it through? After this ceremony, you'll be a part of the Baldwin family. You can't regret it by then," Liam said; he was worried about Renee. Everyone knew the Baldwin family's style. They had such a grand ceremony today. If anything went wrong, the Everheart family might be ruined for the second time. Although nobody knew who would win the battle, the trouble could be avoided. Liam was clueless as to why Renee wanted to take such a risk."Yes, I have." Renee nodded and added firmly, "I'd thought it through the moment I boarded the plane with Justin to fly here."It was the last c

Renee was done getting ready. As her closest friend, Leia came to North City with Liam immediately.The engagement ceremony was held in a magnificent hall of a top hotel. The guests arrived one by one and chatted among themselves. It was a luxurious and grand scene. "Ren, I'm sorry I'm late!" Leia arrived at the hotel suite where Renee was waiting. She put her hands together to express her apology. "It's Liam's fault! He was out of his mind and insisted on not coming here, but I forced him to and took some time. Please don't be mad at me!""Silly, I won't be mad at you. Plus, this ceremony doesn't carry much meaning. The Baldwin family just needs this as an assurance. It doesn't matter even if you're absent."Renee looked indifferent and was not at all happy and eager like a bride-to-be. The engagement ceremony was held to announce to the world about the relationship between her and Renee. In all honesty, Renee was resistant to it. She did not want her family or friends to at

Margaret decided to be frank since Renee had said so. "I can tell that you don't sincerely love Mr. Baldwin. Your marriage is just a way to avoid reality. Why are you so harsh on yourself if that's the case? Now, you're making such a big fuss about moving here. If you fail to get along with him and have to return to Beach City in the future, many people will gossip about you. They'll say nasty things about you. Why do you have to put yourself in such a condition?""Margaret, you don't understand…" Renee looked at herself in the mirror. She looked very charming, like a bride in ancient paintings. Everyone would be charmed by her—including herself. She knew very well that she was the one taking the lead in her romance with Justin. They could go on forever as long as she didn't end it. She was just afraid she could not hold on and wanted to stop, and the only reason that she wanted to stop was probably because of Stefan. "If I stay in Beach City, I'll come across Stefan. I know t

Time passed by. It was soon the day for the engagement ceremony between Justin and Renee.The Baldwin family held a grand ceremony while adhering to tradition. It was both traditional and romantic.Renee put on a red slim-fit silk gown with intricate black and gold embroidery. Her long hair was delicately pinned up, showing off her fair and slender neck. She looked elegant."How pretty!" Margaret stood in front of the vanity table and looked at Renee, whose face was dolled with exquisite makeup. She looked gratified, as though she were looking at her daughter."If your parents saw how pretty and elegant you were, they would be very happy." Margaret gently placed her hands on Renee's shoulders and commented, "You married Mr. Hunt when I wasn't around. You must have suffered a lot. But things will get better now… I'll stay with you and protect you forever. I'll be your strongest support."Back then, Renee was left alone when her family was ruined. She married Stefan without anyo

Alexander and Francine were already old. It was fine even if others criticized them or took violent revenge on them. But they were worried that the younger generation, especially Adie and Abby, would have a hard time handling it."You're right. I wasn't thinking straight…" Francine became teary and sobbed. "I just wanted to relieve my guilt and failed to consider the kids. We brought this upon ourselves. I'll probably have to suffer this pain for the rest of my life.""Stop thinking about that. It's all over. It's useless to regret or dwell on it." Alexander walked over and hugged her shoulders. He whispered some consoling words, "No one can tell who was right or wrong about that affair. We're already punished. Just act like everything is gone…"Is it? You're just trying to make yourself feel better." Francine leaned against Alexander's shoulders, full of melancholy. "Don't you think the kids are suffering the consequences of our actions? They love and understand each other bu
