Chapter 1564

Author: Mizuki Sei
Timothy's health was bad, and he was confined to his bed in Hunt Manor with an IV drip to survive. He called Stefan and Jovan to his bed that night.

"Stefan." Timothy sounded weak, but he was happy to see his grandson. He waved at Stefan. "Come here."

"Grandpa!" Stefan's heart twisted when he saw how feeble Timothy was, and his eyes glistened with unshed tears as he approached him.

"I heard from your mother that you were at Ren's place recently. Finally, you didn't let me down, and you did what was right..." Timothy held Stefan's hand, his dull eyes shining with joy again. The person he had worried about the most was Renee, since he felt like he had treated her unfairly.

"I swore to my old comrade that I would make Ren happy when he entrusted her to me, but you failed me and made Ren suffer. I was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer him." At that point, Timothy's eyes started to water. He had always been strong and righteous his whole life, and he felt like the only person h

    All Timothy knew was that Stefan and Renee had reconciled with each other, but he didn't know about Renee's blindness. "It's nothing, Grandpa. You know Jovan can never say anything nice; just ignore him." Stefan hid the truth from Timothy because he didn't want him to worry. Jovan walked up to Timothy and faked a smile. "Grandpa, I think the worst decision you've made was entrusting Renee to Stefan. All he ever did was hurt her. And now... even her body was hurt. If Renee's grandfather learns about it, I don't think he'll be able to rest in peace.""Shut up!" Clenching his fists, Stefan said to Jovan firmly, "Please leave if you have nothing better to do. Don't say such cruel words in front of an old man.""Cruel?" Jovan snorted. "When you did it, you didn't find it cruel. I'm just stating facts, so why is it cruel? Even if it is, who caused this?"Jovan hated Stefan's hypocritical side, and Stefan hated Jovan's wickedness. Both had wronged Renee in different ways, and it was th

    Hearing that, Stefan frowned in displeasure. "What's there to say to him, Grandpa? He didn't have to leave the room when we talked, so why do I have to leave when you want to talk to him?" Recently, Timothy loved chatting with Jovan secretly. Stefan didn't know what they talked about, and the feeling of being left out made him uneasy. He couldn't understand why Timothy wanted to be on guard against him since he was Timothy's biological grandson, and wondered if Timothy was mistaken. "Grandpa, I'm Stef, your grandson. Jovan is your brother's grandson. Are you sure you want to talk to him alone?" At that moment, Stefan felt like a child fighting for his parents' love."I'm asking Van to stay, not you. Just shut up and get out," Timothy snapped at Stefan. Helpless, Stefan sighed and left Timothy's room.Once Stefan had left, Jovan casually walked to Timothy's bed and pulled a chair out to take a seat. Faking a smile, he looked at the old man. "Don't tell me you want to talk about the

    "So, you think that I'll win this battle, Grandpa?" The corners of Jovan's lips curved into a devious smile."Yeah, you'll win, but you'll never win for real without me saying yes." Timothy's gaze grew colder. Despite his old age, he could still be intimidating if he wanted to.Jovan sat up straight and said icily, "You know that I've always lost to Stefan, so I'll give it my all this time. I'll let everyone in Beach City know that I'm stronger than him so I don't have to keep living in his shadow. As for you..." He sized Timothy up and sighed. "You'll leave this world one day, and when that happens, Stefan can no longer use your power to intimidate me." "Well, you don't have to wait until I'm dead to defeat him. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I realize that Stef may not care about money and fame now. So, I've decided on something, and I hope you can accept it..." Timothy said mysteriously. "What did you come up with?" Jovan frowned and asked curiously. "First

    Jovan read the contract carefully without missing anything, and the room was silent except for the clicking of Timothy's medical equipment. After a while, he snorted and crushed the contract slowly in his hand. "Haha! It's ridiculous!" Jovan hurled the contract at the floor and burst into laughter, shocking Timothy. Timothy thought Jovan would accept such a good offer immediately, but the way Jovan was laughing made Timothy feel like he had made the wrong decision. "What are you laughing at?" Timothy asked Jovan seriously."I'm laughing at you both and myself." Finally, Jovan finished laughing and calmed himself down. His eyes gleamed dangerously. "Yes, I admit your offer is tempting. All of you see me as a cunning person who'll pay any price to get Hunt Enterprise, right?" "Aren't you?" Timothy sneered, not knowing what Jovan was getting at. "I won't force you if you don't want it, but you'll never get the company as long as I write in my will that eighty percent of the company s

    Timothy's eyes widened in realization, and he sighed exasperatedly. "Don't tell me you're serious about Renee!" Back then, there had been an uproar because Jovan was coveting Renee, and the whole Hunt family became aware of it. Even if Timothy didn't read the news much, he would occasionally hear rumors. However, he was a slick man who had been making a living in the business field for many years, and he felt that Jovan only wanted what Stefan had to prove that he was stronger than him. "You've always been competing against Stefan, and your parents always pressured you to win against him, which is why you feel like it's your mission to defeat him. He got a master's degree from Hart University, so you went and got a master's degree from Marvel Institute of Technology. He's the president of Hunt Enterprise, and as the vice president, you want to take over his position. When he wanted to focus on AI, you beat him to it and established an AI research center at Newrest. Finally, he fell i

    Jovan left the room, and found Stefan sitting in the living room with a worried expression. "You're still here?" Jovan asked teasingly, sliding his hands into his pockets. "It's late. Why aren't you home with your wife and kids since you claim that you're such a good husband?" Stefan got to his feet and glared at Jovan. "I was waiting for you!""You were waiting for me?" Jovan chuckled and sneered sarcastically, "What an honor to have the great Stefan Hunt wait for a nobody like me." "Cut the crap!" Stefan growled and demanded, "What did you talk about with Grandpa? Tell me. He doesn't have a say in a lot of things." He figured that Timothy might have tried to offer something to Jovan to protect Stefan. He just hoped that Jovan wouldn't be too cruel. Stefan knew Timothy held him in high regard, but he always felt that it was unnecessary. "You're a smart man; I'm sure you don't need me to spell it out for you, right?" Jovan walked over to Stefan, then turned to the large French w

    "You won't?" A chuckle escaped Jovan. "But Grandpa said that you would. He painted you as a soft-hearted god who would show me mercy, and that weakness of yours would be your demise. He begged me, hoping I would let you go!" Jovan laughed, mocking Timothy. He'd never assumed that Stefan would go easy on him—he just hadn't pushed Stefan's limits yet."I knew it!" Stefan asked urgently, "What did he offer you?" Timothy had been mysterious lately, and always chatted with Jovan behind Stefan's back. Stefan figured that Timothy might have heard rumors about the board of directors being unhappy with him, and figured that Jovan would defeat Stefan in a battle for the company, so he had tried to make peace with Jovan humbly for Stefan's sake… but that wasn't the truth. Stefan could have fought back, but he was exhausted, and he had something else he valued more now. He didn't care about fighting Jovan anymore."He said he would let me have full power over Hunt Enterprise, and you'll only be

    Stefan frowned and asked Jovan, "What do you want?" In his mind, all Jovan wanted was the right to rule Hunt Enterprise and be superior to Stefan. Timothy's offer had met those requirements, so Stefan couldn't figure out why Jovan would say reject it. "I want your woman… Will you let me have her?" Jovan smiled teasingly as he asked.Stefan stopped in his tracks, and an uncontrollable rage overwhelmed him. He punched Jovan in the face, sending him tumbling to the ground. Jovan didn't retaliate, and just wiped away the blood on his lips. He stared at Stefan contemplatively, then sneered, "I won't fight you. I'll let you have Hunt Enterprise, but you have to give your woman to me. Can you do that?""How dare you say those words again!" Stefan's expression was livid. He wanted to punch Jovan again, but stopped himself, resorting to clenching his fists instead. "If what I said makes you angry, then don't you understand how I could be angry when you and Grandpa offered me such a choi

    "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
