Chapter 1442

Author: Mizuki Sei
Renee's tone was melancholy.

"Why do you want to sell your most important organ then? You can earn money through other ways, you know. You don't have to do something like this that will ruin your life." Jovan frowned, looking confused.

Renee smiled then said solemnly, "It's because I think poverty is more horrible than having one's soul trapped. The worst that could happen if I lose my sight is that I'd feel bored, but poverty can actually kill people!"

"How much do you need? I can give you the money, then you don't have to sell your eyes to me," Jovan said suddenly.

"Huh?" Renee's smile froze on her face, and she was caught off guard by his offer.

"Are you surprised?" Jovan clasped his hands together and said honestly, "I know how it feels since I'm experiencing it. I know how devastating it is to lose your sight, so I don't want anyone to suffer such agony unless they have no other option."

Renee cleared her throat and said awkwardly, "I heard that you're pretty aloof, so why

    Panicked, Renee pulled her hand back and accidentally knocked over Jovan's cup of coffee."I'm sorry!" Renee hurriedly used a handkerchief to wipe up the spilled coffee, but in her panic, she forgot to modify her voice.Jovan immediately became suspicious and grabbed Renee's wrist. "Who are you?" "Didn't I tell you, Mr. Hunt? I'm Brisa Stone! Don't get handsy with me—I'm just selling my eyes, not my body!" Renee said teasingly as she tried to pull away, knowing she had to stay calm. If she panicked, she would give herself away. "Brisa Stone?" Jovan's gaze was void but his expression was alert. "Is that a name you just made up? Are you really… not my old friend?""Which old friend of yours do you think I am, Mr. Hunt?" Renee calmly asked him."You feel like her..." Jovan frowned contemplatively, then shook his head. "But it's impossible. She should be spending happy days with the one she cares about now. She wouldn't remember a useless man like me." "Don't say that." Renee fel

    "I would have come to you ages ago if I was, Mr. Hunt. I don't think your friend would hide her identity," Renee lied, her heart pounding in her chest."No, she might. That's why I dare to hope that... maybe you're her.""You're overthinking—I'm not her. Plus, I'm willing to give up my eyes for money. What would your old friend want if she gave up her eyes for you?" "She..." Jovan trailed off, not knowing how to respond. Renee had children, a successful business, as well as countless possibilities with Stefan. There was no way she would give up her wonderful life to save a villain like Jovan. His expression turned cold again, and he muttered, "Go then; we'll meet again the day after tomorrow. After the surgery, you can tell me how much you want. I'll be responsible for you and your family.""Thank you, Mr. Hunt. I won't have to worry anymore thanks to you." Renee casually patted Jovan's chest and left the balcony.Meanwhile, Eloise was wringing her hands and pacing worriedly down

    Renee felt her heart skip a beat, and then her phone suddenly started to ring. It was Stefan calling, and after hesitating briefly, she answered the phone. "Finally! I thought you were dead!" Stefan bellowed through the phone, seething with anger.Renee winced and put her phone away from her ear. "Why did you call me? Are we that close?""No, we're not close..." Stefan chuckled, then said smugly, "We're just friends who slept with each other once. You're right, I shouldn't be acting like a busybody." "Clearly, you have nothing else better to do." Blushing, Renee snapped, "Tell me why you called, or I'm going to hang up.""Wait!" Stefan blurted out, then quickly asked, "Where are you now? Who are you with? Are you safe?" "How is that any of your business? All you need to know is that I'm safe. If I wasn't, I wouldn't have the time to speak to you on the phone, would I?" Renee tried to speak calmly to eliminate Stefan's doubts. "Really?" Stefan was naturally cautious, so he di

    Renee wondered why she had poked her nose into Stefan's business. Stefan and Seraphina were childhood sweethearts who loved each other and were going to get married soon, and if they started fighting because of Renee's call, Renee would be a certified homewrecker. She didn't want to ruin someone else's marriage.Meanwhile, Stefan was staring at his phone with a complicated expression. Sitting beside him in the CEO's office of Hunt Enterprise was an expert hacker Elijah had spent a fortune to hire, and Elijah himself."Did you find her?" Stefan asked the young man who was typing vigorously on his laptop."Yes!" The young man adjusted his glasses, his face alight with excitement. "Ms. Everheart's current location is in a forest eighty kilometers away from Beach City based on the signal transmitted by her phone." He quickly gave Stefan the specific coordinates, including the latitude and longitude of her location.Elijah looked up the coordinates online, but when the search results

    Seraphina skipped to Stefan cheerfully, carrying a thermos. She unscrewed the thermos, filling the office with the rich smell of the soup, and said, "I made you chicken soup. It'll be good for your stomach, since you have gastritis. You should hurry up and drink it.""Wow, it smells so nice, Ms. Murphy! I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking," Elijah praised Seraphina from where he was.Stefan flipped through a contract aloofly as he sat at his desk. Without lifting his head, he said to Elijah coolly, "Drink it yourself if you think it smells so good." Seraphina gritted her teeth at Stefan's cold tone as she poured the soup for him. However, Elijah was no fool. He immediately waved his hand and refused, "No, I wouldn't dare to. This is what Ms. Murphy made for you, Mr. Hunt, so who am I to drink it? I'll just have some water." Seraphina inhaled deeply to calm herself, then turned to Elijah with a fake smile. "It's alright; I can pour you a bowl if you want, Mr. Young.""

    Stefan raised his brows but didn't persist. "Forget it—I'm sure I'll find out whatever you all are hiding from me eventually. I believe in Owen's skills." Clang! The thermos suddenly fell from Seraphina's hand, and she screamed as the hot soup splashed onto her hand. "Ah, it hurts!""Are you okay?" Stefan immediately put down the document in his hands and went to Seraphina."It's okay, it's just a slight burn." Seraphina tried to brush it off, but she looked like she was in pain. "Let me have a look." Stefan took Seraphina's hand and leaned down to study it. When he saw that the back of her hand was red and burned, he frowned deeply. "Take her to the medical room and tend to this, Elijah.""No, it's fine. I'm really okay..." Seraphina trailed off as she looked at the soup that had spilled all over the floor. "But it's a pity… I spent the whole afternoon making this soup for you, and now the carpet's dirty too." "The soup can be made again and the carpet can be cleaned, but I'd

    Instantly, Seraphina's features twisted into a hideous snarl. She glared at Elijah and sneered icily, "What exactly are you trying to say, Mr. Young? Do you doubt my feelings for Stefan?" "I'm not doubting your sincerity towards him, but I just want to know how deep it runs… How much would you be willing to sacrifice for Mr. Hunt?" Elijah asked bluntly. He didn't care if Seraphina thought him selfish or overbearing; he just wanted to be sure of Seraphina before he tried to help her get closer to Stefan. After all, Renee had almost killed Stefan, so he had to make sure Seraphina didn't have any ulterior motives."I'm willing to do anything for Stefan, including giving up my life..." Seraphina bit her lip as she recalled what happened in the past, her eyes watery. "I'm sure you don't know this, but… When that woman's brother went mad and kidnapped Stefan, I suffered a lot so Stefan could come back safely." Elijah frowned, staring at her curiously. "What happened?" "I'm sure you kn

    The fact that Seraphina, a rich young lady from a noble family, had been sullied by a group of criminals was something she should have kept a secret, but she revealed it to Elijah to win his support. If Elijah saw her sincerity and helped get her and Stefan closer, things would be much simpler."Yeah, I didn't imagine you loved Mr. Hunt that much..." Elijah stared at Seraphina, feeling conflicted. If Renee's love for Stefan glowed steadily and brightly like the Moon, then Seraphina's love for Stefan burned fervently and madly like the Sun. It was really hard to choose which love was more suitable for Stefan. "Your relationship with Mr. Hunt has been good lately. Although he's busy with work and doesn't spend much time with you, I guarantee that he still cares about you. Don't worry, you both will have more time together once he settles his work." Elijah tried to reassure Seraphina, who was glaring daggers at him."Do you think I'm a kid? I don't need to be coaxed!" Seraphina scof

    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

    Time passed by. Gradually, the pain knocked some sense into Justin. He no longer wanted to take advantage of Renee."Let me get you some water." Renee had no idea what she could do for Justin. After some contemplation, she got to her feet and poured him a glass of water.Finally, she studied the room closely and found that it was a wedding room as Justin had mentioned. Everything was set up according to her preferences, which she had occasionally mentioned to Justin. For example, she loved keeping some ceramic ornaments on the bedside cabinet and hanging some seashell wind chimes at the windows. The entire room was painted in beige and green, which were her favorites, too. Beige gave a sense of warmth, while green gave a sense of gloominess. All of those details became the perfect wedding room for Renee.If everything went on smoothly, she would spend most of her time there, and he would be her life companion. Unfortunately, there were no ifs in the world.Renee handed the gla

    Renee covered her lips, her tone filled with disbelief. "I…cut myself." Justin leaned against the corner and frowned deeply. He was in deep pain."Why did you cut yourself?" Renee was scared out of her wits and grew more sober. In her panic, she threw herself at him and tried to stop his bleeding.Justin reacted aggressively as he waved his dagger and warned fiercely, "Get away from me! Don't touch me!" "I…" Renee paused, too afraid to act recklessly. She pointed at his wound and said, "I'm just worried about you. You're bleeding. It must hurt a lot. Why did you hurt yourself?" "It's better to be in pain!" Justin gnashed his teeth and said in agony, "The pain will knock some sense into me, so I won't act like an animal and lose control of myself.""I see…" Stunned, Renee was moved to tears. She understood why he cut himself. Surprisingly, he wanted to stay sober and not be controlled by the drug in the wine.He could have used her to satisfy his desire, and she would never b

    "You're playing with fire!" Justin leaned close to Renee's ears and said fiercely, "What do you think there is in the wine? Maybe I'm not someone who will take liberty on women, but I can't promise that the wine won't make me so." "So, you're saying that the wine…" Suddenly, Renee realized the wine was not as simple as she thought. She also understood why Rose had behaved in such a mysterious manner. "Stay…away from me!" Suddenly, she became frightened and wanted to keep some distance from Justin. She knew that people could not be trusted completely, especially under the effects of chemical reactions. Things would certainly get out of control. Justin probably did not want to do anything to her, but both of them would lose their minds under the effect of the wine and do something that would fill them with regret. The only way to prevent such an incident was to avoid each other."You want to stay away from me, but it's too late now. I'm no saint. I'm just a normal guy!"Just

    "I'm so thirsty!" The burning sensation of the wine made Renee thirsty. She wanted to drink some water.In the dark, she heard some rustling. The next second, something was on her lips. It seemed to be someone else's lips. She wondered if someone had secretly kissed her."Who are you?" Renee grabbed the person in front of her and interrogated angrily, "How dare you kiss me without my permission! Do you know who I am? I'll cut off your lips!""Let's see if you can do that or not." The man sounded dull and drunk, but he was also overbearing.Although Renee was drunk, she could discern who it was. She called out in the dark and tried to confirm her doubt. "Haze…?" "Yeah, it's me," Justin admitted, but he did not plan to let her go. He used a more overbearing manner and trapped her between him and the door."What do you want?" Renee panicked. She wanted to kick him away, but she did not resist when she learned that it was Justin. After she had done so many things to hurt him, s
