Chapter 1692

Author: Mizuki Sei
"He escaped?" Xavier was initially confused, but when he walked over to where Quinton was standing and looked up, he saw an air vent around seven meters above the ground in the dark room. It was about the size of a well, and though it was quite small, an agile person might be able to escape through it. Additionally, there were some footprints on the wall.

"Those look like Stefan's!" Xavier observed the footprints, realizing they were from a pair of hiking shoes Stefan had worn before leaving ho

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 2697

    Steve was a smart man. He obviously understood Jovan’s invitation.Still, he didn’t state his position right away. Instead, he set up his own fishing spot not far from Renee and Jovan."There really are plenty of fish in this lake. Every time I come here, I reel in some big ones. I’m the type who knows how to be grateful. Back when this place wasn’t famous yet, the first person who brought me here was the current head of Hunt Enterprise, Master Hunt himself. So naturally, I stick with him and keep fishing for the big catch," Steve said.After setting up his gear, Steve had made his stance perfectly clear.Renee was reluctant to give up and decided to push back. "Mr. Warren, that sounds a bit exaggerated. Fish are gifts from nature. What does gratitude have to do with it? Even if Master Hunt hadn’t brought you here back then, someone else would have eventually. I think whoever helps you catch more fish is the real benefactor. Don’t you agree?"Steve baited his hook, cast his line

    Renee showed a knowing smile, and there was a determined look in her eyes. "Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to fish today."The moment she finished speaking, both her and Jovan’s bobbers twitched.Leia opened her eyes wide. She waved at the two urgently. "Hey, hey, quick! Both of you, your fish took the bait!"At the same time, Renee and Jovan reeled in their lines. Both of them landed a fish, and they were about the same size too."Wow, that’s incredible. You both caught one. And especially you, Mr. Hunt. You didn’t even use bait and still caught a fish. You’re basically a modern-day fishing legend!""Miracles can happen if one has solid faith."After he spoke, he carefully unhooked the fish, bent down, and casually released it back into the water.For a split second, even Leia found herself a little captivated by this man who felt both righteous and dangerous at the same time.Renee watched Jovan in silence for two seconds. She also released her fish and said, "You

    Renee wasn't dumb. There was no way she couldn't hear the subtext in Jovan's words.She just didn't believe he was as noble as he made himself out to be, willing to bite a hook with no bait out of pure devotion."Any living thing makes choices based on what it wants. It's just that some motives look plain, while others seem lofty. In truth, they all come from the same deepest desires. There's no real difference."Her tone was calm and unruffled, as still as the lake in front of them.Jovan froze for a second. He then nodded in agreement. "Sharp as always, Sis. Everything in this world is an equal exchange. No one is more righteous than anyone else.""Hey, are you two here to fish, or to teach a philosophy class? All this talk is impossible to follow. Can't you make it simpler?" Leia finally couldn't take it anymore and covered her ears.There was nothing she could do. Talking to smart people was exhausting. Miss one beat, and you were lost. Listening to them was tiring, but sayin

    By the time Renee and Leia arrived at the lake, Jovan was already there.He had always had a wide range of interests, and fishing was something he'd picked up recently. Not only was his gear fully stocked, but he had even chummed the water early, picked out a flat spot, and set up a tent. He was clearly planning to settle in for the long haul."Wow, Jovan, not bad. This looks like a professional set-up. You must be a veteran."Leia couldn't resist teasing him as she looked at the rows of fishing rods laid out in front of him. They were all of different models and sizes."I'm not a veteran. I just take things more seriously."Jovan sat calmly on a small folding stool and watched the lake. He turned around to smile at the two women who had arrived late, but his gaze naturally landed on Renee. There was something loaded in his tone as he added, "When it comes to getting what I want, I don't miss."Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the float bobbed. He reeled it in smoothly,

  • The Untouchable Ex-Wife   Chapter 2693

    For the past two days, Renee and Leia had been staying together.Two girls who had once been in stable relationships, then drained by love, found themselves single again. Looking back, they realized that none of it was really that big of a deal.You didn't die without a man. If anything, you slowly found yourself again.Because of Sadler, Renee had uncovered the mastermind who had been working against Azure Group all along. It turned out to be Jovan, who had disappeared for years.Jovan openly stated that he was willing to offer Renee his absolute loyalty, even if it meant standing against the Hunt family and Stefan.At first, Renee refused. She looked down on beating Stefan in that way. But as she watched Azure Group's market performance weaken day by day, and saw product after product being overtaken by Hunt Enterprise, her resolve began to waver."Forget it. Business is a battlefield. If there's a way to win, you shouldn't care about sentiments."After days of hesitation, Ren

    "Nothing. It's finally over between Xavier and me," Leia said gloomily after curling up on the couch.Renee walked over and thoughtfully handed Leia a glass of warm water. She then sat down beside Leia. "Weren't you two doing just fine? How did things take such a sharp turn all of a sudden?""That was just an illusion."Leia took the water and sipped silently. She still looked gloomy.Although she was clear-headed now and had made up her mind to break up with Xavier, the thought of it still made her stomach turn.Heartbreak, after all, was like catching a bad cold. The process was bound to be unpleasant, but eventually, one's immune system would get them through it.What Leia needed right now was to clench her jaw and endure the most painful stage. Once she got past it, she would truly be free."You still can't let go, can you? In that case, why not try a different solution?" Renee asked carefully."A different solution?" Leia turned to look at Renee curiously."If breaking up
