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

    Francine went berserk again and gripped Sophia's neck. "I'm going to count to three! Get my grandkids here! I'm going to take them home! If not, I'll break your neck!" she yelled. She couldn't stop Renee from marrying someone else, but she couldn't tolerate her two grandchildren relying on others' charity like Renee.It wasn't only about her dignity, but more about the children's growth and mental health. She couldn't be careless."You're out of your mind! Drive them out of here!"Sophia was a decent woman who couldn't allow herself to go berserk. Although she had a glib tongue, she found herself unable to handle a figure like Francine. Francine was never too harsh and would only make a scene. But now, she was out of control and was screaming nonstop. "Talk it out with them. Don't use violence. We're parents. It's humiliating to be violent," Alexander interrupted.Alexander tried to make Francine calm down and behave herself. Even so, he didn't act accordingly and pushed Ja

    Francine's obvious provocation made others draw in a cold breath, let alone Justin's parents.No wonder she was one of the Four Princesses of Beach City. She was much too impulsive. Justin's parents looked very hideous. However, Sophia wasn't so soft. After taking a few deep breaths, she faced Francine with the same fake smile. "Don't worry. I'll take Adie and Abby back home. Since Ren is marrying Justin, my family will treat the kids as ours. We'll be their grandparents. In a few years, my son and Ren will have more kids to be their siblings. Then, we'll be one family!""What? Do you want to take the kids back home?" Fury instantly gripped Francine. She ignored all decency and demanded fiercely, "What do you want to do to my grandkids? They're still young! How could you target them?" "You must be mistaken. Ren is going to be a part of my family, so naturally, her kids are going to come with her. I'm sure there isn't anything wrong with that." Sophia snorted. "You're their bi

    Leia couldn't understand it. Both Renee and Stefan once loved each other passionately. They had soldiered through a lot of difficulties. But when everything became better, they stopped seeing each other. Such separation brought a fatal blow to her views on love. Suddenly, she found herself too timid to give up her heart. After all, it was nothing. People could break up with each other easily."No wonder Xavier refused to come. If he was here, I would have hated him because of Stefan. I'd beat the crap out of him!" Leia was furious, but she couldn't find someone to vent her anger on.The Stuart family was invited to the party too, but Xavier refused to come. He claimed that he would have betrayed Stefan if he had come to the party.However, Stefan was the greatest betrayal of his romance since he remained silent and indifferent. While Leia was still angry, everyone in the hall suddenly fell silent. They stretched their heads to look at the entrance of the hall."The Hunt famil

    "I… I don't know what you're talking about," Liam muttered guiltily, avoiding Leia's scrutinizing gaze. "You must know what I'm talking about!" Leia refused to let Liam go and went straight to the point. "Look! Because of such a bind, you probably fell in love with Amber, who isn't related to you. Why can't Ren fall in love with Justin after spending a long time with him?""So, what's your point?" Liam didn't refute Leia. He was curious about what she was trying to say. Leia reasonably explained her opinion, "I'm trying to tell you that things might not be as bad as you imagine. Even if you take Ren away and stop this ceremony, things might not be better either."She was too timid to tell Liam that she regarded Renee and Justin's marriage in a favorable light because she found them similar. Similar people could at least lead a stable life though it might not be very passionate and exciting.After leading a wandering life for such a long time, Renee needed steady happiness. It

    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
