Stefan knew that when the movie ‘Hunt my Everheart’ trended on Twitter, it would get the attention of people, and Renee would naturally be curious about it.Yet he didn’t think that she would be so quick. The film had yet to be officially released, but she appeared to be impatient. It looked like she didn't leave as freely and easily as she presented.At the same time, Xavier walked proudly inside the president’s office and mysteriously stuffed a note inside Stefan’s hand.“Stef, don’t lose the paper. I’ve helped you as much as I can. If you can’t get her back, then it’s your problem. Don’t blame me for not helping you!”Stefan was in the middle of his work when he was handed the note. He frowned and looked at the note in his hand. “What is this?”“Renee’s location!” Xavier became excited as he continued, “I told you earlier that a mysterious person hacked into the distributor’s system and copied the movie file. I hired a hacker and discovered the mysterious person’s location. T
There were just a few employees remaining in the building.Stefan sat in his office, rummaging through the documents on his desk.Hunt Enterprise developed tremendously over the years, but with it came a slew of difficulties and harsh competitors.This was particularly the case in the field of technology. Long-term collaboration between Hunt Enterprise and KCL Group made his company invincible, enabling it to capture three-fourths of the market.As a result, he quickly became the envy of other companies who would try to harm his company behind his back. While not life-threatening, it gave Stefan a headache.There had recently been speculations that the smart bracelet Hunt Enterprise recently released on the market had severe flaws that involved violating users' privacy by eavesdropping on their conversations. The rumor resulted in several reports and lawsuits against his company."Inform the public relations department that we need a way to conceal this negative news."Investiga
On the same night, Stefan got on his private plane and flew directly to the island at maximum speed.Throughout the journey, he kept reminding himself to act cold and composed when seeing Renee later.After all, he didn't fly there because he missed her or wanted to continue their relationship. He was going there solely because he needed her skills as a lawyer to help with the lawsuits that Hunt Enterprise was facing.“Yes, that’s it!”Stefan thought for a while and finally came up with a good reason. He instantly felt relieved.By the time he reached the island, it was already the next morning.The orange and crimson sun rose from the ocean's edge and reflected its light over the blue sea, making it orange.Stefan sat inside the speedboat and sped his way through the shore.Once he got on the island, a local girl came up to him and welcomed him.“Mister, are you here for Aunt Renee?” the small girl said, her cheeks tanned and her grin pure.“Yes.”As Stefan looked at the li
The church's door was shut. Stefan considered pushing the door open and walking in but decided against it since it would make him seem shameless. So he waited outside the door, cleared his throat, and said, "Come out on your own."There was no reaction from inside.Hiding his embarrassment while appearing noble and frigid, he continued, "There is a limit to my patience. You'll be sorry if I have to go inside."Thinking about how he flew and went all the way here and climbed the mountain for hours only to see her angered him. Presently, there seemed to be no other choice but to enter the church since she did not reply to him at all.He spun back and yanked the door open with fury. "Renee, you've gone too far, you..."“Surprise! Stefan, you've been fooled."Renee was nowhere to be seen in the church. In the midst of the empty church, there was just a teddy bear.The teddy toy had a microphone inside and appeared to come to life as it laughed madly at him.“Hahaha! Mr. Stefan, yo
Four years later, a young lady with sunglasses stood among the crowd in Beach City Airport, wearing a low-cut black dress that accentuated her curves.With a gorgeous and endearing visage, her long legs swayed as her tall heels clicked along the floor. Many eyes were immediately drawn to her.Leia was yawning outside the airport on her red Ferrari when she saw Renee come out. She immediately waved her arms around and exclaimed, "Ahh! Ren, I'm here!"Renee pursed her lips and strolled slowly toward Leia, stopping before her. She then pulled off her sunglasses with ease, and a touch of tenderness was displayed in her eyes as she chuckled. "Lei, keep it low-key, or people will think you're one of those crazy perverted fans!""I don't mind!"Leia rushed into Renee's arms and hugged her tightly. "It's been four years. You've finally returned. I really miss you!"Renee chuckled. "Stop being absurd. Didn't we just talk on Facetime yesterday?""Seeing you on a video call and seeing you
Leia stood up and shouted enthusiastically as the wind gushed across them. "Hold tight!" Renee tenderly advised Leia.She, too, was overjoyed.Despite the fact that she had been living peacefully on Sun Island, Beach City was her home. It was her ancestors' origins from where she came from.Her friends and family were here, as were the bittersweet memories she would never forget. She felt a sense of belonging here.So she decided to return when the moment was perfect when she was powerful enough to defend those she cared about.The vehicle gradually slowed, and Leia's enthusiasm faded as she sat quietly in the passenger seat, growing inquisitive about Renee."Ren, let me in on your secret, okay? What are your plans now that you've unexpectedly returned? Why are you keeping it such a secret that even Liam is unaware?"Renee's unexpected return to Beach City was only known to Leia. Renee even requested her to keep it a secret and not tell anyone, including Liam.Renee said quie
"Steal my children?"Renee's icy eyes grew furious, and she sneered. "I like to see if he's capable.""I have faith in you, Ren. After all, Azure Group has grown quickly under your supervision. This time, however, your opponent is none other than Stefan himself. People are afraid of him because his methods are so evil. It will be tough if you actually fight with him." Leia shook her head, concerned.Stefan wasn't easy to work with, and the Hunt family was no less challenging.Renee, despite her strength, had to fight her battle alone. Even with the Osborne family’s assistance, her prospects of victory were still slim."Why don't you stay there and never return? Aiden is so cute that I would be devastated if he took him away!"“Impossible!” Renee said confidently. "Did you really think that I've simply been enjoying life all these years on that island?" she asked, a profound grin on her face. "If Stefan tries to take my children away from me, it'll be me he'll be fighting with!"
Renee finally let go of him and warned, "Look in the mirror before trying to flirt with a girl. Get out of my way!""You're so cool, Ren!"Leia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced out the window as if watching a movie and said unsatisfactorily, "You're still too kind. A disgusting guy like him most likely enjoys harassing innocuous females. You should just break it!"When the guy heard this, he almost peed his trousers and rushed away.Renee went back in the vehicle and said calmly, "It's enough to teach him a lesson. I have to keep it low-key so I don't reveal myself.""OK, we'll keep it low-key!"The racing car surged back to life and sped through the vehicles in the sun.What they didn't know was that someone had photographed the entire incident from earlier.The vehicle had halted a few hours earlier at Leia's private apartment in the city center.Leia had only recently purchased it, and no one knew about it, including Liam."You're welcome to stay here in the
"No, I'm not!" Liam raised his hand to swear. "Trust me. They're just best friends. They're not in that kind of messy relationship. Both of them have a guy they're madly in love with.""I see." Amber watched how Renee and Leia fooled around intimately with each other in the cell. They looked like they were about to kiss! She shook her head and said, "What a pity! They look so lovey-dovey, better than many novels I read about where the women love each other.""You're hopeless!" It was rare for Liam to see such a straightforward and cute side of Amber. Amused, he poked her forehead and sighed. "Stop reading those messy novels! It's harmful."Their actions were loud and finally attracted Renee's attention in the cell."Liam!" Renee, pressed to the chair by Leia, couldn't escape. Finally, she grabbed a chance to leap up and walk to the door.Well… It wasn't a door. Rather, they were iron bars preventing them from escaping.The decoration and facilities in the room weren't bad. Be
Liam tensed up when he heard that voice. He quickened his pace and rushed through the corridor, toward the cell where Renee and Leia were locked up. Suddenly, he became flabbergasted and his face stiffened. For a long time, he couldn't regain his wits."Hey… What are you guys doing?"On a table lay barbecue, jerky, beer, and fruit platters. Meanwhile, both Renee and Leia were playing cards. Leia ran after Renee, then pressed her on the chair and said seriously, "Hey, gorgeous. You can't run away! You got the card for kissing me, so you have to let me kiss you. If not, you're trying to disobey the rules of the game!""Help! Help me…!" Renee kept resisting, amused and befuddled. "Get away from me! I'm a desperate woman who likes men! I can't kiss you! If I kiss you, I'm going to have nightmares… Oh, just kill me! Is there anyone who can save me?" Liam wasn't the only one standing at the door. Amber was also with him since she was following him. Watching Renee and Leia's antics,
"Hurry up and explain to her, then!" Amber said hurriedly. "Matt, you're close to her. You know Ms. Everheart and Ms. Osborne would never do that on purpose. Try to persuade her to let this go, and then you can immediately set them free.""I don't have a say in this." Mateo shook his head, pretending to be helpless. "You know how much Luneth dotes on her son. Ms. Everheart pinned him to the ground and beat him up. His head got injured and started bleeding. I heard it's a large cut with a lot of stitches. We can't let it go just like that.""But you can't—" Amber wanted to say more, but Liam interrupted her. He looked at Mateo, his eyes cold and fierce. "I know you set them up. Just be frank. Why did you do that?" "See?" Mateo sighed. He pretended to be aggrieved as he looked at Amber. "The guy you like is sinister. I kindly helped him, but he didn't thank me. He even accused me of setting this up… He always sees the worst in people. He criticized me in front of you and sowed di
Liam immediately noticed something wrong. He asked Mateo fiercely, "What do you mean?""Calm down." Mateo put away his gun and placed it back around his waist. "They broke the rules and barged into the orchard. Plus, they hurt Luneth's child. So, I locked them up for the time being."He appeared calm, as if he was discussing what he had eaten for dinner. He didn't feel that he had been over the line. "Go to hell!" Liam finally failed to hold himself back. He rushed over and grabbed Mateo's neck fiercely. "You can harm me, but how dare you harm them!"At the same time, Mateo's subordinates raised their guns and aimed them at Liam. The recently eased atmosphere immediately became tense again."Hey, don't!" Amber, all tensed up, braced herself to try and stop them. Even so, she was mentally exhausted."What? You want to strangle me?" Mateo was fearless. He grinned deviously and teased, "Cool it. I just locked them up, but they didn't suffer. They're fine. If you harm me, though, I
Livid, Mateo pulled the trigger without hesitation. However, he moved the gun less than an inch. The bullet passed by Liam's ear and hit an orange behind him.The fruit immediately blew up, its juices splashing on Liam's face."Aaaah!" Amber, terrified, trembled. Her eyes turned red, and she hurriedly tried to plead with Mateo. "Matt, cool it! Aren't you and Liam friends? You guys drank and chatted together in the past. You were so close to each other. How could you do this to him? Hurry up and put the gun away! If it goes off accidentally, it'll be over!"However, Mateo ignored her. His eyes were red as he glared at Liam. "Did you see the orange behind you? Let go of her now! If not, I'll blow up your head just like I did to that orange!""Is that all you got?" Liam taunted. He refused to let Amber go. He whispered to Amber, "Watch well. If he shoots me today, promise me not to marry such a man. I can use my life to knock some sense into you.""No!" Amber shook her head. Liam
"What bad timing!" Mateo's indifferent voice came from behind Amber.Amber turned around and saw Mateo with a team of armed soldiers. Terrified, she quickly put some distance between her and Liam. She stammered an explanation. "Matt… It's not what you think. Liam and I came here to look for people. Ms. Everheart and Ms. Osborne are gone. Liam couldn't find them and guessed they might be in the orchard. He wasn't familiar with the orchard and asked me to guide him."Mateo looked livid, but still cracked a gentle smile. "Silly, you don't have to be scared. I know you're prudent. He must have forced you to come here. I don't blame you."He extended his hand and beckoned Amber toward him. "Come here. You're my fiancee. You should stand with me.""I…" Amber bit her lip—Mateo was right. She kept her head low, about to walk to him.But in the next second, Liam firmly grabbed her wrist. "You can't go!" Liam held Amber's wrist tightly and shot Mateo a challenging look."When did Amb
Liam could only see through Amber's true thoughts if she showed her true self to him. "No, I do like you. I love you the most, and I want to marry you. But you neither like me nor want to marry me. You love freedom and Ms. Everheart. You love and yearn for the kind of life ordinary people like. So, I could only choose to give you up and let you get what you want. What else do you want me to do?" Amber was generally shy and reserved, but when Liam drove her anxious, she rambled a lot."Whatever I want is my business. You don't need to sacrifice yourself to grant my wish!" Liam held Amber's shoulders, acting like a kind senior. He tried to persuade her in earnest. "Marriage isn't a joke. Think it through. Do you like and know Mateo well? You won't be happy after marrying him, given the savage culture around here. And can you divorce him easily?""Matt will be nice to me. Even if he changes his mind, he'll still be nice to me because…my father is Benjamin," Amber replied.She chose
Being a sensitive woman, Amber immediately noticed Liam's displeasure. She kept her head lower and explained carefully, "I want a chance to choose again… I want to choose another person to fall in love with. You know that Matt and I grew up together. We're childhood friends. He likes me and always protects me without asking for anything back. I feel that it's happier to marry a person who loves me instead of marrying someone far beyond my reach."For the first time, she expressed the exhaustion she felt from her relationship with Liam. She no longer wanted to be the one who kept fawning over him. She wanted to give up and relax by being the one who was loved and adored in a relationship."Tsk!" Liam snorted arrogantly. "You don't know Mateo. He's not a nice guy. He's just good at pretending. Maybe it's just his means to get what he wants, but you assume that he loves and wants to protect you."Liam hadn't made that statement to purposely put Mateo down. After standing against Mate
Liam focused on holding Amber's hand and leading her through the orange grove. At the same time, he carefully scanned the ground and trees to find any related clues left by Renee and Leia."I don't care what others say, because I didn't do anything wrong," he said indifferently. "I hope you'll feel the same. I don't think you need to stop being my friend after choosing to marry Mateo. Am I not the friend you like the most?""That's different," Amber said.She followed Liam passively. At first, she couldn't adapt to it. After walking briefly, she felt better and found it easier to do. "Although I'm not good at my studies, I know men and women should keep a polite distance. You can't take my hand and sound righteous at the same time," she mumbled."Why not?" Liam retorted firmly. "When I was young, I always held my sister's hand wherever we went. I'm holding your hand because this fog is thick and the ground is slippery. I'm afraid of being separated from you. Just walk with me. St
