Chapter 386

Author: Mizuki Sei
“I've seen it.”

Stefan was working at his desk. He replied calmly without lifting his eyes.

Four years had left no trace on his perfectly handsome face, except it was maybe even colder now.

“You... you've seen it?”

Elijah found it hard to believe. He boldly said, "No way. If you've seen it, there's no way this is how you react.”

The trending topic was about Renee Everheart, the woman who had disappeared for four years and the woman Mr. Hunt could not stop thinking about for four years. This was his reaction?!

Stefan finally raised his head. He slowly put the lid back on his pen and twirled it with his long fingers. "How should I have reacted?”

“If you had seen the trending topic, you would have gone to meet up with Ms. Everheart already. At the very least, you should be so excited that you would be freaking out... There's no way you would remain this calm!”

Elijah was emotional and puzzled.

“What does she have to do with me? Why must I meet up with her just because she's retur

    He was scared to continue the conversation. With how understanding Christopher was being, he felt like he would get depressed and burst into tears any moment!Calls came one after another, but Stefan did not pick up his phone again. Instead, he turned it off to get some quiet.Stefan took off his rimless glasses and leaned against his expensive office chair, looking up at the white ceiling. He suddenly felt a little tired.He rubbed the space between his eyebrows with his long fingers. The tall bridge of his nose made his face appear even more handsome, more defined, and more profound.Over the last four years, he had disguised himself as an ice-cold machine, going through his daily routine like clockwork. His life was filled with work and more work—no joys, no sorrows, no... life.Outsiders may think he was unhappy, but he actually enjoyed the feeling—the feeling of being in control of everything.'But... damn you, Renee Everheart. Why have you suddenly come back after disappear

    It did not take long for Stefan to find Mandy's account on Instagram.Renee's beautiful and delicate face popped up on the small phone screen.The screen may be small, but the power of its destruction was immeasurable, like an atomic bomb.Stefan froze. His deep, wolf-like eyes locked onto the screen and his grip on the phone involuntarily tightened.“Good evening, my babies! Welcome to Cutie Pie's live stream! As you all know, the popular dating show "Heart Signal" is currently looking for non-celebrity guests. I secretly signed up for it. The organizer's condition is, whoever receives the most donation tonight will be eligible to participate in the program.

    [The goddess is pretty no matter what she does. Bring her back!][Goddesses should only exist in paradise, yet one has appeared in our mortal realm. I love her so much.]Amidst the enthusiastic praises, a disharmonious message suddenly appeared.[Pretentious woman.]Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, the message immediately sparked a thousand ripples. People in the chat lashed out at the sender.[Why don't you stream, then? Let's see how unpretentious you are.][Are you blind? You call that pretentious? She's all natural!][The message was sent anonymously. The sender must be a lewd man who covets the goddess. Get out of the stream!][Kick the lewd man off the stream! Kick the lewd man off the stream!]When Mandy saw the chat arguing, she quickly tried to calm everyone down.“Stop arguing, everyone. Also, can the viewer called Anon12538 please stop it with the baseless accusation? My cousin Ren is a very sincere person. How is she pretentious?”Unfortunately, the viewer w

    Other people in the chat were shocked by Anon12358 too. Messages popped up one after another.[Oh my god, this guy is a real whale. I didn't expect that.][He's spending so much money just to chase after some girl…][Could this guy be the CEO who's trying to coax his wife?]Renee stared at the top donor's profile picture. She became even more curious about the identity behind the anonymous ID.They thought the matter had come to an end.Mandy, filled with excitement, said loudly to the camera, "The contest will end in five minutes. Thank you to the top donor for helping me get on the dating show. I'll keep my promise. I'll prepare a romantic candlelight dinner for you and Renee...”But suddenly, another mysterious person started donating like crazy too. With 160,000 dollars worth of donation, he successfully wrestled the top donor spot away from Anon12358.Everyone became really excited. The number of viewers kept climbing until it reached 50 million.“W-Wow... thank you “Shad

    ”Stef, did you watch your little darling’s stream just now?”Xavier rushed up to Stefan with an excited look on his face and immediately asked, "Tell me honestly, are you the stupid top donor who fell for their trick?”Stefan appeared disinterested. While flipping through the documents in his hand, he said expressionlessly, "What stream?”“Stop pretending. There's no way you didn't know about something that big. Moreover... it's your little darling’s live stream! There's no way you would miss it!”Stefan didn't even look up. "I'm busy.”What he meant was: Shut the hell up!Xavier knew Stefan would not admit it. After all, the guy had always been proud.Therefore, he snatched the phone that Stefan had placed aside before Stefan could react.“Your phone is turned off. That's even more suspicious. I have to check it!”Xavier tried to turn on the phone.“Give it back!”Stefan looked up and gave Xavier a death stare.Xavier gulped and immediately changed his mind. He obediently

    “Uhh... how would I know?”But Xavier quickly latched on to the key point and asked with a strange smile, "Stef, why are you only curious about who the second highest donor is and not the highest? Aren't you exposing yourself?”Based on normal logic, people would normally be curious about the first place. Who would care about the second place?!Stefan knew he could not deny it anymore, so he pursed his lips and said nothing. His cold, handsome face clearly read "Don't push it".Unfortunately, Xavier was a guy who had no fear. He continued teasing Stefan. "Stef, like the netizens said, you sure are willing to spend to make a woman happy. 4 million dollars for a dinner. That must be a Guinness World Record. You're... going tomorrow evening, right?”Stefan did not answer Xavier's question, but instead mocked him back, "In terms of spending money on women, how can I compare to you? In recent years... in order to make your girl famous, you must have spent more than 40 million dollars.

    The two grown men fought over the phone like kids. After going at it for a while, Stefan said, "Stop meddling in my affair with that woman from now on, and this recording won't get to Shirley.”“Fine, you win. I won't gossip or meddle in your affair anymore.”Xavier was well and truly defeated this time.“Good boy!” Stefan nodded with satisfaction.Sure enough, when push came to shove, he had to use a lethal weapon like Shirley to keep the annoying and gossipy Xavier in check!Xavier fled after he was defeated, but before he left, he tried asking one last time, "You’ll go to the dinner tomorrow, right?”Seeing Stefan unlock his phone and act like he was going to send the recording, Xavier quickly gave up. "Never mind. Forget I even asked.”At the same time, he thought to himself, 'Keep pretending, Stefan. You're gonna regret it!'-Mandy was still in disbelief after turning off the stream.She checked her account's income with her mouth wide open the whole time.“Oh my god,

    Anon12358's reply was: [I'll go if I feel like it.]They didn’t know what he looked like, but from just the reply, they could imagine his smug, cocky face.Mandy clicked on Anon12358's personal information page. It was completely empty.“This guy seems to be using a newly registered account. His profile picture is the default one and there's nothing in his personal information page. But the first thing he did was spend 4 million dollars... He obviously came for you, Ren.”She boldly speculated, "Maybe he's Mr. Hunt.”Looking at the default profile picture, Renee's red lips curled up into a faint smile. "Maybe. We'll find out tomorrow.”If she really wanted to know, she could investigate his IP address any time, but she did not do that. She was curious if he would go to the dinner tomorrow.Late that night, Renee returned to Leia Osborne's apartment.To her surprise, Liam was there too.“There you are, Boss. If you had come back any later, I would have called the police.”Liam

    Austin was sincerely happy when he saw Renee's relaxed smile.Renee looked a lot like Maurice. Given how he missed and respected Maurice, Austin wouldn't treat Renee unfairly, even if he didn't wish for other things. "I'm sure she likes us."Sophia walked over and held Renee's wrist intimately. They walked forward calmly and steadily. "Renee, let's forget about our past conflict. You know what kind of a person Dad is. Yes, he's fierce, but he's not vengeful. Since you came back to us now, we'll still welcome and love you as we once did. Take my home as your home. Take Dad, Jack, and me as your grandpa-in-law and parents-in-law. Promise me."It had been a long time since Renee experienced such a warm feeling. It was the happiness of a happy family, and it overwhelmed her. Endless warmth filled her, and she nodded firmly. "I'm thankful for your forgiveness and that you're willing to accept me again. I thought it over before I decided to come. I won't break my promise, and I'll

    "What do you mean, brat? Do you want to get a beating?" Austin snarled. He immediately put away his smile and glared at Justin, waving his walking stick threateningly. "No… I've lived with you for so many years, but I never saw you smile. Now, you're smiling so brightly. It's frightening!" Justin swallowed and added carefully, "Act normal. It's better if you are serious.""How dare you!" Austin, unable to hold himself back, raised his walking stick and hit Justin's back hard.Justin stood upright, neither yelling in pain nor frowning. His parents stood behind him, seemingly used to it. They didn't stop Austin, either.Renee watched the scene and found it horrifying. "Don't we have to do anything?""It's fine. Grandpa used to do this," Justin said, smiling at Renee. He even smoothed his hair indifferently. After all, physical punishment was normal to the Baldwin family."Hmph, brat! You always ruin my reputation." Austin finally put away his walking stick after he got tired from

    The Baldwin family was so excited that they couldn't sleep. They waited at the exit of the airport eagerly for a long time."Dad, you can't be this fierce. The past is the past. What's important now is Justin has brought Ms. Ren home. He didn't let us down. And don't scare her off again. Just smile!" Sophia boldly reminded Austin, who looked stiff, for the sake of the bigger picture."Why should I smile? I'm born like this. I hate smiling!" Austin retorted stubbornly. His face grew stiffer and he looked more solemn. "Why can't you take my advice? Ms. Ren came to a strange city all alone. I'm sure she's scared, but you're going to be so fierce to her. If you scare her off, you'll make a scene again. It'll be too late if you regret it by then!" Sophia nagged, insistent on explaining the interests at stake."Okay, stop. Dad's always like that. He's a general. No general loves to smile. When did he ever smile? Stop forcing him. We'll do the smiling." Jack dragged Sophia to the side, f

    In the past, Renee recalled hurting Justin once. If she chose to get off the plane, she couldn't regret it. For a moment, she was unsure. She wondered if she was ready to make such a huge decision."It's fine. I told you, it's not too late if you don't get off the plane," Justin whispered. Although he looked hurt, he remained gentle and kind. "You have one minute to reconsider.""No, that's unnecessary." After taking a deep breath, Renee finally made up her mind. "I'll go with you."She had made such a decision after much contemplation. Since she was bold enough to board the plane, then she could get off it."Alright!" Justin's eyes brightened. He walked over and interlocked his fingers with hers. "You don't have to be scared. I'll be with you every step of the way. Let's face everything together."They walked side-by-side as they got off the plane.They took an individual pathway to exit the airport since they rode the exclusive plane of the Baldwin family.

    "I'm sorry!" Renee blurted—she realized her selfishness."I admit that I took you as a substitute. I wanted to get out of that suffering relationship, and I didn't care about your feelings. I'm so sorry."At first, she wanted to forget Stefan and start a new relationship. And then, Justin risked his life to save her. On top of that, they were compatible in various aspects. She felt that she could spend the rest of her life with him.However, Renee realized that her actions were purely self-serving. She never considered Justin's feelings or asked about his willingness. She merely took him as a convenient tool. "No, you did nothing wrong," Justin said. "You have your choices. Likewise, I have my choices too."He stared at Renee passionately, his teary eyes filled with pain, and held her hand. "I chose you. I want to stay with you while you're trying to forget about him. I want you to be happy with me.""You…" Renee looked into Justin's eyes. His generosity, firmness, and thoug

    "Mmph!" Renee was sitting beside the window, watching the floating clouds up in the sky when a sudden pain gripped her heart—as if it was clenched tight. "What's wrong?" Justin asked nervously. Sitting across from her, he could feel something wrong with her. "I'm fine." Renee shook her head and tried to soothe her stuffy chest. "My heart suddenly hurt just now. I guess it's because of the sudden weightlessness when the plane took off."Justin sighed in relief. "I've heard that some people might get dizzy or feel their ears ring because of weightlessness, but I've never heard of hearts aching.""It's fine. It's something rare, I guess. I'll feel better after a while." Renee waved his concerns away, taking a deep breath. She picked up the cup in front of her and sipped some water, and felt better. Perhaps the water had cooled her heart. However, Justin felt a little uneasy. He knew her heart wasn't his though their destination was the same."If you can't forget about him, yo

    Stefan got involved with Briar. At the same time, something seemed to be wrong with Renee and she insisted on meeting Justin's parents. In short, they were lying to themselves.Xavier found it ridiculous that they would break up and date someone else, when in truth they loved each other passionately and had gone through so much together. They were just cowards who refused to face their problems head-on."Well said! I agree." For the first time, Leia and Xavier shared the same thoughts on the issues related to love. Aside from Stefan and Renee, there were many similar examples. Leia was convinced Liam was doing the same thing. She couldn't understand why they had to hurt themselves like that. It would be better to make peace.Suddenly, Xavier turned around and looked at Leia passionately, and declared with utmost seriousness, "So, we can't do that!" Having his face so close to hers so suddenly, Leia's heartbeat quickened. She pursed her lips and stood up shyly. "You're nuts

    Justin walked over and tapped his wristwatch. "It's almost time. Let's go.""Okay." Renee nodded, then said to Leia, "Just go home and take good care of Liam. Tell my brother and kids that I'm fine. I'll be back at Beach City soon.""Uh…" Leia wanted to stop Renee from going to Beach City, but she couldn't find a reason to make Renee refuse. Of course, Renee had to stop the program which never responded."Fine. Take care. Call me immediately if anything happens!" Leia, enlightened, decided to respect Renee's choices. She hugged Renee and sobbed, "I hope you'll pick happiness no matter who you choose to be with!""Of course. I want you to do the same." Renee hugged Leia firmly.Then, she got into the small private plane bound for North City with Justin."She left…" Xavier muttered. He watched the plane take off for North City as he sat in the lobby, feeling complicated. He felt sorry for Stefan, but at the same time, he felt that Stefan had brought it upon himself. Being on

    However, Leia didn't believe that Renee would have given up on Stefan. Based on their night chats a while ago, she could tell from Renee's tone that the latter was still confused about Stefan and couldn't part with him.It wasn't long ago, but now, Renee wanted to marry someone else. It was abnormal."Yes, I did…" Renee coldly looked ahead and added, "I did just now.""What?" Leia's eyes went wide, and she didn't stop questioning Renee. "What happened just now? Nothing happened!""Let me be frank with you." Renee decided to be honest with Leia since Leia insisted on getting to the bottom of it. "Justin told me something the night he saved us. Stefan informed him and asked him to come to our rescue.""I know that. And then?"Leia had heard the same story from Justin. She and Liam kept cursing Stefan for being a dirty coward all night long. It was infuriating. Stefan didn't try to save his beloved woman, but made his rival in love do so instead. It seemed he had given up his belo
