"Me?" Timothy frowned and hurriedly asked, "How is she now? How can I help? I'll try my best to help her." "Umm, she... There's a problem with her eyes, and she's in urgent need of an eye transplant from a suitable donor. Unfortunately, the condition is that you need to let a woman you hate join the board of directors of Hunt Enterprise," Jovan admitted, revealing the deal he had with Briar. Simply put, Briar had told Jovan that she had found a suitable pair of eyes for Renee, but the condition was that she be allowed to join the board of directors of Hunt Enterprise and be a part of the company's decision-making processes and dividends. It was a greedy, tricky offer, but it was because she wanted to make a grand comeback as Briar. Jovan was immediately moved when he heard that Briar could help cure Renee's eyes, and he was even willing to transfer more than half of the shares of the company to Briar. Unfortunately, he could not decide on the addition of a new member to the board of
The lights in Renee's room were not lit. To her, it didn't matter—it was always dark and stressful.Jovan sighed softly and gently turned on the lights.Renee was not asleep. When she heard someone switch on the lights and approach, she could tell by the heavy footsteps that it was Jovan. She remained lying on her side and said grumpily, "Jovan, I'm your sister-in-law, and besides, men and women should keep a polite distance. Isn't it inappropriate for you to come into my room late at night?""I've already done so many inappropriate things, so it doesn't matter anyway," Jovan joked as he placed the tray on the nightstand and pulled a chair over to sit near Renee's bed. He tried to persuade her patiently, "I heard from Lisa that you neither ate nor drank today. It's very silly of you to punish me like this since you'll be the one suffering in the end. Be good and eat, then you can beat me up or scold me. That way, you can vent your anger and feel better. Wouldn't it be killing two bi
Jovan's expression twisted in frustration. "You're a good woman too, so why can't I start something with you? Why do you want to let me down?" "Umm..." Renee was at a loss for words, and pursed her lips awkwardly. "I'm your sister-in-law, and I don't like you. Why do you have to be so stubborn?" "People have to love each other before becoming a couple, so there's no point in you trying to match me with some other woman. Many women sincerely love me, but do I have to keep them all?" Jovan sounded upset. Renee had been trying to push Lisa and Jovan together for the past few days, and it disgusted Jovan. Lisa was not bad, but Jovan was upset by the way Renee was trying to get rid of him."Don't be mad, it's just a suggestion. Just forget it if you don't want to." Renee did not expect Jovan's sudden anger, and felt that maybe she had gone too far this time. She sighed and said sincerely, "I'm sorry for not taking your feelings into account. I'll stop trying to match you with another w
Briar successfully appeared in public as herself three days later, and grandly joined Hunt Enterprise as a member of the board of directors.Leia had been trying her best to search for Renee for the past few days, but she couldn't get in touch with Stefan, Xavier, or the others. She was feeling frustrated and hopeless. One day, she saw a live broadcast of Briar joining the board of directors of Hunt Enterprise, and was stunned. "What the hell? The troublemaker is alive? And she became a core member of Hunt Enterprise?" For a moment, endless theories popped up in Leia's mind. She figured that Briar might have something to do with Renee's disappearance, which might be why she had appeared after Renee had gone missing. It was just too much of a coincidence.Hence, Leia hurriedly drove to Hunt Enterprise, and tried to barge in. Naturally, the security guards stopped her, and she screamed, "Get out of my way! I want to see the person in charge here and that hag Briar!""I don't care who
Leia's eyes widened and she shrieked, "Oh, I knew it was you! You're a kidnapper and a pervert! Where are you keeping Ren? Let her go!" She had suspected Jovan from the beginning because it was a well-known fact that he had ulterior motives toward Renee. Renee had even lived abroad with Jovan for half a year away from others. He probably couldn't bear being separated from Renee so he kidnapped her again."Yes, I did take her, but I don't plan to let her go. What I can tell you is that she's doing fine, and I'll try my best to make her better. Please leave if that's all you have to say." Jovan's expression was menacing. If not for the fact that Leia was Renee's best friend, he would have made her suffer."How can you be so arrogant after kidnapping someone?! Listen—I'm not leaving until I get what I came here for. I'll even set this place on fire if that's the only way I'll get Renee back!" Leia snarled, gripping Jovan's arm tightly and refusing to let him go. "Let go!" Jovan had me
Naturally, Jovan wanted to reciprocate, but Xavier instinctively rushed over to protect Leia. It was a mess as the three of them tussled. At that moment, Briar arrived at the lobby on the ground floor, surrounded by executives. Leia immediately turned to her and howled, "You're still alive, you troublemaker! I owe you a beating!" Leia let go of Jovan and rushed toward Briar."What-What do you want?" Briar didn't expect such a sudden attack, and couldn't dodge in time."What do I want..." Leia pulled Briar's hair and punched her. "I want to whack you up, of course! I already told you that if you ever appeared in front of me, I would beat you up!"Briar's self-defense skills and temper were less violent than Leia's, so she couldn't fight back. All she could do was scream. "Let go of me, you crazy woman! I'm going to call the cops to arrest you! Oh, you're going to ruin my hair. Let go, you harpy! Guards, do your job and get rid of her!" The security guards moved forward to help, b
In the past, Jovan manipulated Stefan's feigned death to snatch away the company, but it had been Stefan's trap. He had waited for Jovan to walk into it, and the ending had been delightful. However, this time...Xavier and Quinton had worked with the villagers living in the mountains to look for Stefan every day, but they failed to find any clues related to him. He was missing, and it broke Xavier's heart. Xavier knew that Stefan would not easily fall to death, but right now, it was the only plausible option. Stefan would not go missing and give them no news if he had not fallen to his death."I know even if you don't tell me. It must be bad... You haven't found him, right?" Jovan asked slowly. "You wouldn't look this worried if you had. I believe what the rumors say—my pitiful cousin might have fallen off a cliff and got eaten by beasts.""Shut up!" Enraged, Xavier threw another punch at Jovan.A sigh escaped Jovan. "You might not believe me, but I don't want him dead. I have yet
Then, Briar limped away. Leia watched Briar leave, looking troubled."Are you okay?" Xavier walked over and asked in concern."I'm fine." Leia shook her head absently and looked at Xavier. "Where's Stefan? Where did he go? Does he know that Ren's been waiting for him to come back? Ren needs him the most right now, so where is he hiding?""Let's go back. I need to talk to you about that in detail." Xavier glanced at Jovan pointedly. However, Leia couldn't just leave like that. She walked to Jovan. "What else do you want from me?" Jovan took a step back in fear, covering his bitten arm. "I'll make you suffer if you go crazy again." "I know now that Ren is at your place. I can't just ignore that, so make a choice—are you going to drive her home, or do you want me to barge into your house and take her?" Leia demanded aggressively.Jovan frowned and contemplated it for a while. "I can't decide for Renee, but I can guarantee one thing—if she wants to leave when you come to pick h
