Chapter 2319

Author: Mizuki Sei
Sophia was somewhat disappointed. After all, both families were competing against each other explicitly and implicitly. They should have fought against each other long ago, but nothing ever happened.

Fortunately, both families were safe. After all, the Hunt family was not an easy target. Even if the Baldwin family attacked them with the Tiger and Dragon, the Hunt family probably had a superior backup. For example, they might possess a more elite mercenary army or a regular army.

"I don't want to make things worse…" Justin paused, feeling complicated. "At the very least, I don't want to do that before I get to the bottom of things. I don't want it to end up unsalvageable."

He just wanted to ensure that Renee was safe and get an explanation from her.

"I know you've gone easy on her. Are you afraid that things might get difficult for her?" Sophia patted his shoulders. "Just do what you want. Follow your heart. You have my support, regardless of the choice you make."

    Before leaving, Justin went to Quinton and decided to talk to the latter. Both of them were in the tea room. Justin looked out the window at the falling flowers and said solemnly, "I'm going to Beach City, and I'm not sure when I'll come back." "I figured that." Quinton sipped some tea, his face impassive. "I just didn't expect that you could hold yourself back until now. Looks like you genuinely love my sister." Generally, people would have lost their minds when facing such an incident and would take revenge on the people involved. However, Justin didn't blame them. Instead, he had his people treat them kindly. It baffled Quinton, who was used to malice. "I just didn't want to do anything crazy while I was furious. Plus…" Justin looked at Quinton. "You, the kids, and Margaret are the most important people for her. I asked you guys to come and stay here to reassure her. I can't use you guys as tools to take revenge on her. If I did that, I would have betrayed her trust in me.

    Quinton had promised Renee that he would never fight Stefan as long as Renee was still around. Suddenly, Justin asked something profound, "What if Phoenix sees the Hunt family as her enemy one day?""What do you mean?" Quinton frowned in confusion.Renee would have long done that if she wanted to. She wouldn't wait for such a long time. She was just too kind and soft-hearted, giving others a chance to harm her. Hence, Quinton became anxious. "Nothing. You'll know in the future." Justin stopped, but then added, "I'll leave my family in your care while I'm away. You know my parents don't get along with Stefan's. If I don't stop them, things might get very nasty, especially with what had happened.""They just yanked each other's hair and scolded each other. How bad could it get?" Quinton had witnessed all kinds of things during the few days he was there. At first, he was bewildered. But later, he got used to it and was eager to see if there would be anything new.After all, they

    "Mr. Baldwin!" Seeing Justin, the two men put their hands together and knelt."Cadmus? Tiger?" Justin was shocked to see them. He hurriedly pulled them to the side, as if he had seen something embarrassing. "What are you guys doing here? Didn't I make you wait for my news at the base?"Cadmus Wiley and Tiger Booker were none other than the two captains of the Tiger and Dragon army. They were responsible for managing and training the whole army, and were the most powerful among the hundreds of soldiers. Apart from their great strength, the best thing about them was their absolute loyalty toward the Baldwin family. They had been serving the Baldwin family from the moment they were born. They would work for the Baldwin family until the day they died.From the moment Austin handed the token to Justin, they vowed to protect the Baldwin family and Justin's safety. It meant the transfer of power."We came here because we have to ensure your safety for fear that someone might harm

    Justin put on a pair of sunglasses and was all set. He walked to the receptionist and lowered his voice as he spoke. Since he was tall and handsome like stars on TV, the receptionist was polite toward him.Her eyes lit up as she said, "Hello, sir. Mr. Hunt is having a meeting. May I ask if you have an appointment with him? If not, I'll inform him after the meeting is over. May I know your name?" "Justin Baldwin."The receptionist registered his name on the tab. While typing, her face immediately stiffened. She raised her head gingerly. "Are you saying that you're Mr. Justin Baldwin of the Baldwin family?""Yes, I am."The receptionist's fingers trembled uncontrollably as she broke out in a cold sweat.Justin casually leaned against the reception and grinned, showing off his white and neat teeth."Please wait a moment."The receptionist couldn't stop her fingers from trembling. She was already soaked in cold sweat.Anyone who had paid attention to the headlines would know abou

    Justin heard that and turned around to look at the man behind him."Mr. Young, you came in time." The receptionist acted like she had seen her savior. She heaved a sigh of relief instantly and hurriedly let him take care of the trouble. "Mr. Baldwin would like to meet Mr. Hunt. What should we do about it?" "It's fine. Let me handle it." Elijah raised his chin and instructed the receptionist to get back to her work. Then, he said to Justin, "I'm so sorry to see you come here in person. May I have a chat with you?"Justin said icily, "I'll only meet Stefan." "I'm sorry, Mr. Baldwin. Mr. Hunt is pretty busy now and won't see anyone. You can talk to me about anything. It won't be any different."Elijah was neither humble nor overbearing, but he was firm. It seemed that he had received an order from Stefan.Justin felt that Stefan must be guilty. If not, Stefan wouldn't be too cowardly to see him. "This concerns him and me, so I can only talk to him. Ask him to come and see me and

    "Um…" Surprisingly, Justin was quite calm. For a moment, Elijah was rendered speechless. When he hesitated, he got a call from Stefan. "Please wait a moment."Elijah covered his phone and cautiously nodded at Justin before he walked to a corner. Justin pocketed his hands and acted like an outsider. He watched from afar as Elijah's expression changed drastically. He was quite confident now. Renee's sudden disappearance probably had nothing to do with Stefan."Mr. Baldwin…" Elijah finally hung up and heaved a long sigh. "Mr. Hunt would like to talk to you alone in his office.""That sounds about right." Justin raised his brow, unsurprised. He knew Stefan would see him regardless of whether Renee was with him because both of them cared about Renee greatly. Justin went to the top floor where Stefan was, with Elijah leading the way."Come in."The spacious president's office was rather quiet. The members of the secretarial team were sent away. Hence, Justin was left alone with

    "An eyewitness?" Stefan caught the key information and frowned. He interrogated icily, "What kind of eyewitness?" "A makeup artist from my engagement party. She claimed you were the one who'd taken Phoenix away," Justin said.When he remembered the makeup artist's words, he was still angry, but he maintained his rationale. After dwelling on them, he felt that the makeup artist would not have easily gotten knocked out if she had conspired with Stefan beforehand."I didn't go to North City," Stefan stressed again, looking worried. "If someone impersonated me and took her away, her situation would be bad now.""That's my concern, too."Initially, Justin hated Stefan so much that he wanted to beat the latter up. Gradually, he subconsciously took Stefan's side to ensure Renee's safety."I happened to have brought the eyewitness here to prove that you weren't lying. Do you dare to confront her?" Justin asked Stefan, just to play it safe."Of course." Stefan shrugged, composed. "I wou

    The makeup artist smiled awkwardly. People of her profession had met various kinds of handsome gentlemen and beautiful ladies. Of course, they would be excited to see those with exceptionally good facial features, since being the stylist of such a person was an honor."Just leave! You're useless now!" Justin hurriedly drove the makeup artist away for fear that Stefan might get too smug from being praised."Wait!" Stefan stopped her and asked coldly, "Do you still remember what that man looked like?""Of course!" The makeup artist looked at Stefan with bright eyes, eager and enthusiastic. "That gentleman was very handsome and looked a little like you. He was also called Mr. Hunt, but I don't know his name."The makeup artist tried hard to recall the details of that affair. She told Stefan everything that she could remember."Okay, I know who it was." Stefan looked calm, not at all agitated after learning the truth. He also sounded indifferent."Do you know who it was?" Justin, res

    Adie was still a child, but he acted like a smart person and could see through a lot of things. He could guess why Austin took them to the Baldwin residence. He had also heard the servants of the Baldwin family rebuking Renee in secret. After combining various situations, he learned about what had happened between Renee and Justin. Despite everything, Justin could forgive Renee under such circumstances. He also treated Adie and Abby nicely. It proved that he was a very compassionate man. A small regret gripped Adie. He wondered why Renee didn't date Justin right from the start. If Renee were with such a kind man, she might be very happy. She wouldn't have to suffer through so many hardships either. "No, you don't know me. I always sweat the small stuff."Justin was displeased since Adie had claimed that he was a good guy, like Renee had. He heaved a long sigh and said, "But it's useless even if I sweat the small stuff, so I stop trying. It all comes down to fate. We can't forc

    Renee turned and found Jovan unscathed. Relief washed over her. She said grumpily, "It's none of your business!""Tsk! How cruel!" Jovan clutched his chest and pretended to be in deep pain. At the same time, he teased, "I know. Your soulmate is better. I'm so jealous of him, though he's still a fallback guy.""Go to hell, Jovan!" Jovan's nasty words drove Renee mad. She grabbed a piece of napkin, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at his face. "If I knew you'd talk so badly, I wouldn't be bothered to save you. Maybe you'll get reborn in Ulria. Then, you have to watch your tongue!""Hey! Yeah, I was wrong. You don't have to curse me like that!" Jovan raised his hands to surrender, but felt quite moved. He poured himself a glass of milk and devotedly toasted to her. "Thank you for caring about me and trying your best to save me. I'll toast to you. And you can do whatever you want.""You're so childish." Renee rolled her eyes and was amused.Justin was quite jealous to see them

    "What's that?" Justin frowned and said with disdain, "That's something to fool naive women like you. Only lovestruck fools will believe that." As a materialistic person, he never believed in things like horoscopes and fortune-telling. At most, they were mixed with some psychology. They weren't trustworthy at all.If Renee wanted to use those things to talk about their relationships and destinies, it would seem very childish. "Don't be so extreme. Those things are real and logical." Renee acted like an experienced salesperson and gradually eliminated Justin's prejudice. She said patiently, "If you believe those things, they can guide you and help you to see things through. If not, you can use them to kill time. Just try to get to know them. Isn't that nice?"Finally, Justin was convinced. He had some milk and asked her leisurely, "Fine. Tell me what kind of relationship we have based on those things." "I learned that our relationship is a declining friendship based on our birt

    "I…" Renee paused. For a moment, she had no idea how to answer that question."Don't put yourself in a difficult position. Just follow your heart," Justin said calmly. "If you want to stay, my family will still welcome you readily. If you want to leave, I'll come up with a way to help you leave smoothly."After listening to Justin, Renee answered honestly, "Maybe it's better for me to leave, though I know this choice will hurt you."She could choose to stay to protect Justin's dignity and give Austin a good explanation. It would be more relaxing and steadier for her. However, Renee knew that it could only last briefly. She would cause Justin greater harm. She might as well be decisive and stop the damage in time. "Don't say that." Justin cracked a bitter smile and said with relief, "I've stopped taking things too seriously. If you like me, you won't stop loving me even if we're apart. Similarly, you'll think about another man if you don't like me, even though you're always b

    Austin was having breakfast in the dining room. When he saw Justin and Renee walk over intimately, he finally believed that they had slept together. They seemed like a real couple."Good morning, Grandpa Baldwin!" Renee obediently greeted Austin just like before. She acted normally."Good morning." Austin nodded, unable to suppress his smile. After sizing them up, he calmly said to Renee, "We know how apologetic you are after you toasted to us last night. We'll forget about the past. You're still a part of my family." "Grandpa!" Justin interrupted Austin; he was very protective of Renee. "She's a woman, and we're not married yet. Please don't say that. A woman's reputation is the most important thing.""You…" Austin wanted to refute Justin, but their conflict was just resolved so it would be bad to pressure them more. He shook his head and said, "Fine. You two always have a bland romance. Finally, you've made some progress. I'll let you two decide what to do next.""Got it, Gr

    "Hey, Haze! What are you doing? Get off of me!" Renee struggled in confusion."Hush!" Justin gestured and stopped her.In a while, someone unlocked the door of the room."Mr. Baldwin, let me help you and Ms. Everheart change your clothes." A kind middle-aged woman walked into the room casually. When she found them sleeping together intimately, relief washed over her. "Oh, you guys are still sleeping… Fine, I'll leave you be." Then, the woman exited the room.After that, Justin stopped hovering above Renee, looking awkward. "I'm sorry. It happened all of a sudden. If I hadn't done that, they wouldn't let us go. I just did a small thing to resolve the issue." Justin was fully aware of Austin's thoughts. Although Austin was still angry at Renee, he was satisfied with her and wanted to see her get into a real intimate relationship with Justin. If that did not happen, Austin might tie them up together since the drug had failed. Justin could only act with Renee to avoid the in

    Renee grinned, satisfied after a long rest. "Why didn't you sleep a bit longer? This bed is comfortable and fluffy." While talking, she behaved like a fish as she extended her limbs and rolled around in bed childishly. In comparison to her calmness and ease, Justin behaved gingerly and did not dare to move as he lay in bed."Do you have any idea what had happened? We aren't dreaming. We're lying in the same bed," Justin said.He was certain that Renee was not fully awake. It explained why she was that composed. Otherwise, any normal woman would get out of bed with a start and keep screaming if they found herself lying in a man's bed."I know!" Renee said. After having a great time rolling around, Renee faced Justin with her head on her arm while lying on her side. "I wanted to drink wine to say sorry to you guys last night, but your family drugged the wine. You drank the same wine when you tried to stop me. We were controlled by the drug and were locked up in this room. T

    Renee instantly understood what Justin meant by that. It turned out that the incident was just a part of the Baldwin family's plan. If she left, the Baldwin family would not easily let her off the hook.Justin still cared about her at a time like that, which moved her. "Thank you. You're great." Renee cried; she had no idea how to repay him. "You don't have to thank me. I'm not so great, either. I just hate that they always pester me." Justin purposely sounded relaxed. He finally calmed himself down as he casually grabbed some bandages to bandage his wound. Then, he lay in bed.He slept on one side of the bed and said to Renee, "It's late. You should rest early. This bed is large enough. If you don't mind, you can lie in bed too."The bed was large. It was more than enough even if Renee and Justin lay there."I…" Renee hesitated briefly before she finally got in bed. She trusted Justin. If he wanted to do something indecent to her, he would have long done that. He would no

    "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
