Chapter 147

Author: Mizuki Sei
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

    The three of them looked confused as they opened their phones.Then, Leia began to scream."Oh my god! I can’t believe this. Are Ren and Stefan trending on Twitter now?"At the same time, both Renee and Liam stared at their phones as they were shocked by the news.Most of the topics trending were about Stefan and Renee.[Oh my! It’s a video of Mr. Hunt begging his ex-wife, trying to win her back!][How did he become a simp!][If a CEO can become a simp, why can't ordinary guys become one?][This is Mr. Hunt's first step in his attempt to win back his wife.]Every item she clicked on had a video of Stefan tightly clutching Renee and refusing to let her go. It was sweet but humorous, and it was really an interesting video!Netizens began a heated discussion and even made funny edits to the video. As a result, the video remained at the top of the trending searches."Hahahahahaha!" After a long silence, Liam and Leia eventually burst out laughing."Boss, is this video real or

    That night, Liam and the rest left Everheart Manor reluctantly under Renee’s request.Before leaving, Leia held on to Renee’s hand and asked worriedly, “Are you sure you’re okay living alone in the huge manor? I heard that there are ghosts at night. Aren’t you scared?”“Of course, I’m not. This is my house. Even if there are ghosts around, they’re my family, so they won’t hurt me,” Renee said with a smile.They only left after getting her affirmation.After all, ghosts were not as terrifying as the terrible people Renee had previously encountered!After the three of them left, the temporarily vibrant home became silent, with the property's moist odor permeating the surroundings as though confirming nobody had been here for years. However, Renee was unbothered by it.She started cleaning the dishes while humming a tune to herself. She then filled the vase with water and placed the sunflowers inside before setting them next to her bed.Although the manor looked decayed from the

    “Ms. Ren, is that you?’As it got closer to Renee, the gruff voice became a little more excited.Renee was scared to death. She waved her hands around and shouted, “Go away! Don’t make me summon a priest to exorcise you!”“Don’t be scared. Ms. Ren, it’s me. Your favorite nanny, Margaret.”The skinny ‘ghost’ pulled Renee’s wrist with one hand and pushed away the hair with the other to reveal her pale face.“Margaret?”Renee instantly quieted down and carefully opened her eyes.After taking a good look at the ‘ghost’, she couldn’t believe her own eyes.“Margaret, how? Didn’t you…”Margaret was Everheart Manor’s housekeeper and Renee's nanny.Renee was closer to Margaret than she was to her mother on some levels.Since the Everheart family went bankrupt and Renee’s parents ended their life, Margaret had been guarding the house. In the end, Margaret was rumored to be beaten to death and buried.That was what Renee heard after marrying into the Hunt family.By the time she got

    “Back then, Mr. and Mrs. Everheart passed away. Even Master Everheart left the world soon after. Meanwhile, you married into the Hunt family. Everheart Manor became empty, and many people had their eyes on it. They made away with everything they could. They'd even move the floor if they could.”“I fought and guarded this place for you but got hurt. Oftentimes, before my wound could heal, new ones would appear. The last time I met a couple of vicious ones who beat me till I passed out. They dragged me to the graveyard and buried me.”Margaret’s words shocked Renee. She clenched her fists tightly in anger. “Margaret, you’ve suffered so much. Don’t worry. I will avenge you. I will find every single person who hurt you!”“Ms. Ren, don’t be angry. All my suffering is worth it, now that I see you.”The two women couldn’t help but hug each other and cry. Through the shower of tears, they released all the suffering they had endured over the past four years.“How did you escape?” Renee wip

    "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

    The servant walked forward with trepidation and helped Justin back to his room. Austin's eyes were dark. He whispered to his assistant, who nodded and immediately carried out his order.After two glasses of strong wine, Renee felt dizzy and could not stand steadily. "It's weird. Is this wine this strong? I just had two glasses of it, but I feel quite dizzy." It was hard for her to exit the hall. She could not stand properly, so she supported herself against the wall."Ms. Everheart, you didn't seem well. Let me help you to get some rest." Austin's assistant caught up to her and stood behind her. He even sounded respectful. "It's… fine. I can go back to my room." Renee waved; she didn't want to trouble others. Besides, she did not want others to see how miserable she was. She had assumed that she was good at drinking and would not get drunk, but it seemed like she had overestimated herself. After two glasses of wine, she became quite drowsy. She would not easily leave if s

    Renee blinked and smiled brightly at Justin, asking him, "Are you worried about me?" "No, I'm not worried about you!" Justin said angrily. "I don't want you to get killed here. I can't explain it to your brother and kids. It's hard to handle the three of them."He was not lying. Although he had befriended Quinton, Adie and Abby might make a scene there if they realized that Renee had drunk so much wine at the party. They were witty, always full of ideas.Hence, it was better not to cause trouble. Before they could make a scene and things get out of control, Justin must stop Renee. He wasn't worried about her at all. "So, you're not worried about me?" Renee's gaze turned dull as she sighed. "It looks like you didn't forgive me. So, I must drink this glass of wine." Something was wrong with Renee, or perhaps she just wanted to torture herself. It seemed like she insisted on drinking the wine. She swung off Justin's hand and gulped down the wine."You're out of your mind!" Justi

    The aged white wine was strong. Ordinary people would find it hard to drink a glass of it. Yet, Renee had drunk two glasses of it consecutively. It was a little dangerous. Everyone at the dining table was initially watching the fun, but they showed Renee some pity after she drank two glasses of wine consecutively. After wiping her lips clean, Renee staggered and said to Justin, "Let me toast to you now. I've wronged you the most." Justin, sitting there, said with a poker face, "You don't have to say sorry to me. We don't hold each other any grudge. After all, we can't make others fall in love with us.""No, I must apologize to you. It's for my sake." After that, Renee used a bigger glass and filled it with wine."Whatever!" Justin frowned and ignored Renee. He had no idea what was wrong with her. He had yielded and let her off, but she stubbornly wanted to keep drinking the wine.He wondered if she had forgotten the fact that she had just recovered from a serious illness. She

    Suddenly, Justin became mature and stopped making jokes. He talked steadily and was no longer emotional. It filled Austin with worry because it made him feel like Justin was an emotionless robot.In comparison, he liked Justin's previous self better. At that time, Justin was simple and sentimental. He was the grandson Austin doted on the most.Sophia grinned and commented, "Dad, you don't have to worry about Justin. Men will change. Previously, he was just a childish kid even though he was in his twenties. He didn't know how to see through people's pretense. But he's all grown up now. He knows what's right or wrong. That's a great thing!" As a mother, she naturally did not want her son to get hurt. Although she favored Renee and wanted the latter to be her daughter-in-law, she would give up since Renee had let her son down and harmed him. All she wanted was to see Renee get away from her son."Yes, you're right. People need to grow up. He has grown up a lot lately, but the price
