Chapter 433

Author: Mizuki Sei
"Edith, don't you think that the lilies in our garden look especially beautiful this year? They look bigger too!" Francine asked the housekeeper beside her, who was currently waiting on her.

"Huh?" Edith wanted to say that the lilies bloomed the same every year, as was the case now. However, she did not want to ruin Francine's mood so she agreed, "Yes, there are a lot this year, and they are quite lovely, like last year!"

Francine's gaze slid over Edith, and she protested indignantly, "How are they anything like last year's flowers? They clearly look better this year! Oh, and… do you want to know the symbolic meaning of lilies in full bloom?"

"Uh, what do they symbolize?"

"Lilies symbolize a lasting happy marriage. Since this year's flowers are blooming so beautifully, it's a sign from the heavens that my son and my daughter-in-law are about to get together and stay with each other forever!" Francine exclaimed in joy. She then picked one of the flowers and admired it in her hand, a

    "Alright, alright, let her in!" Francine said reluctantly.In reality, she wasn't very pleased with Briar. If that woman hadn't gotten pregnant with a child of the Hunt family, then ended up in such a sorry state, she would have abandoned her long ago.After a while, a servant guided a plainly dressed, frail Ms. Desrosier into the garden."Look at her, outsiders would think she was here to mourn the dead! She's going to bring us bad luck! " Francine frowned as she looked on with scorn, ranting to Edith."Madam Francine!" Briar slowly approached and started sobbing as soon as she was in front of her, "Madam Francine, I think I've ruined everything! You have to help me this time! If you don't, Stefan might never forgive me, and he'll ignore me forever…""Really?" Francine's first thought was, 'Could this really be true? My angel of a son is finally going to get rid of you?'Regardless, she kept up a regal facade out of courtesy, and feigned concern. "Stop crying first. Tell me what

    Thus, Francine took her phone out and dialed Stefan's personal number. "I'd like to ask Stef about the entire situation. I really don't believe that the girl would be so insolent!"However, it turned out that she couldn't reach Stefan as well. Not even Elijah knew about his whereabouts."That's weird, why can't I reach him? That kid's usually at work at this hour, and Hunt Enterprise is facing quite a lot of challenging matters that require his attention. Where has he run off to?" Francine's face was painted with concern as she realized the severity of the situation.After that, she contacted everyone she could, trying her best to find Stefan, only to find that they were looking for the man as well."Why can't I contact that child? Did something happen to him?" Francine seemed uneasy.Lately, Hunt Enterprise was gaining quite a lot of traction as they were about to mass produce their new smartphone model, the ME2350. Once they successfully signed a contract with KCL Group, the ent

    Francine and Briar soon arrived at the hospital Renee was at. Liam had to handle some matters regarding Azure Group, so Renee was the only one present in the ward at the time. She was currently on a video call with her daughter. "Abby, is your brother still busy with his research? Is that why he won't see Mommy?""Yes, Mommy. Adie is very focused on his research, so he can't have any distractions. You might not see him for a while…""Not even for a second?" Renee poked Abigail's adorable cheek on her screen, pouting. "Abby, please… Just secretly point the camera at Adie, okay? Let Mommy see your brother for a bit!""No, no!" Abigail shook her head profusely, seemingly determined. "Abby pinky-promised Adie that I won't let anyone see him before his research is successful! I want to keep my promises, or else my nose will grow long like Pinocchio's!""Ah, okay then…" Renee sighed, as she had failed once again. Her heart always naturally melted in front of her two babies, no matter h

    "Yeah, exactly!" Renee agreed quickly. "My friends are all weirdos—we even call each other Mommy in private!""What in the world… your friends are just as weird as you are!" Francine exclaimed. Although she did find it odd, she didn't press her. After all, this wasn't the reason she was here.She placed the beautiful bouquet of lilies on Renee's desk, then pulled a chair over to sit down next to the bed. Her natural movements made it seem like she was a close loved one to the injured woman."Tell me. Where have you been hiding after making such a big mistake? Did you get married? Any kids?" Francine behaved like an elegant rich lady, and every question sounded like an interrogation. She knew her idiot of a son wouldn't ask such questions, especially with his temper and ego, which was why she had to do it in his stead.Renee smiled coldly. "Madam Francine, why do I need to answer your questions? Do you think we're close?"It had been four years, and yet her ex mother-in-law was sti

    Francine collected herself, preparing to go on yet another rant.Just then, Briar interrupted her with a darkened expression, turning towards Renee. "Ms. Everheart, we actually came to ask if you know of Stef's whereabouts. It's been an entire day, and we've tried everything we could to contact him. For some reason, we just couldn't reach him, and he wouldn't pick up the phone! We're worried something might've happened to him…""You can't reach him?" Renee frowned, visibly confused. "That's not right. He already went through surgery, so he should've called you guys the moment he woke up.""What? Surgery?!" Francine jumped abruptly, her expression panicked as she continued, "What kind of surgery? Where is he now? What happened to him?""Uhm…" Renee read Francine's reactions and realized she might not know anything about the accident. After a brief pause, she decided to tell the truth. "I fell down a cliff and injured my leg. He hurt himself while trying to save me, and I heard he

    Renee felt as if she was about to explode after hearing Briar's words. She glared at her and thought to herself, 'Ha, good one, woman. You were clearly implying that I have something to hide, so don't act like you're helping me! Now I'm really going to be blamed for whatever this is!'"Briar, so you're saying I'm threatening the nurse on purpose, so she won't reveal Stefan's condition to you?""I didn't mean that, Ms. Everheart. Please don't assume things. Unless… you really are hiding something.""What do I have to hide? I myself want to know of his condition too! I feel very bad that he injured himself while saving me, alright?""How would I know what you're thinking, Ms. Everheart? There's a possibility that you want to avoid taking responsibility if Stef's condition is worsening, so…"The two then started fighting with one another, each providing quite valid arguments."Enough!" Francine yelled furiously, causing the entire room to fall silent. Her face was frosty as she poin

    "Calm down, Madam Francine!" Renee was having a hard time moving around with a cast and an IV drip connected to her arm.Francine was quite a bad-tempered person. On the verge of a meltdown, she would've choked Renee to death if it weren't for the little bit of rationality she had in her."I'm giving you one last chance to tell me where Stef is! As long as you're willing to tell me, I can look past everything! I just want to know if my son is safe! Please, I'm begging you!" Francine was still holding onto Renee's shoulders, her insanity replaced with despair as tears welled up in her eyes.As a mother, she was willing to risk her life for her child."I already told you—I don't know either! I didn't even expect him to come save me! I have no reason to harm him, nor do I have any reason to hide him from you, alright?" As a mother herself, Renee understood how Francine felt, so she didn't blame her for her actions. If the roles had been switched, she wouldn't have been as level-head

    "Come at you, right? No problem. Just don't beg for mercy later." Liam was the "Supreme Overlord" who even The Great Eight of Beach City shied away from. He was the best at dealing with such pretentious sluts like Briar.Cracking his knuckles, he sneered and said, "It's been a long time since I boxed, and my hands can't wait. In the past, when I boxed, one of my favorite things was using a bad women's face as a sandbag. It was so much fun to give them each a punch and bruise their face. Now that you are the one who asked for it yourself, nobody would have more pleasure than me to do the honors…""D-Don't come near me. I am a member of the Hunts. If your dare to hurt me, the Hunts will not let you go easily!"Briar had long heard of Liam's "terrifying" deeds.This young man was fearless on account of being favored in the Osborne family, and his means were particularly ruthless, so much so that anyone who had seen it would stay as far as possible away from him. Literally no one had

    Renee said seriously, "I would like a plate of pasta with more vegetables and is not spicy. I'm afraid this is my last meal."Jovan was rendered speechless. Although Renee was being sarcastic, he still went to the kitchen to make her a delicious plate of pasta. He added some vegetables and a nice fried egg for a balanced diet. "It's done." Jovan had sent off all the servants of the mansion, leaving Renee with him. Hence, he was the one who cooked the pasta and served it to her. "Wow, you're fast." Renee wanted to get a chance to run away since she had sent him away to cook for her, but she couldn't come up with any trick.In the end, she got hungry when she saw the pasta. It was mouth-watering. She was starving!Jovan was good at cooking pasta, even though he didn't seem reliable. The pasta he made tasted like home-cooked food."Give it a try." Jovan didn't say much. He meticulously blew on the pasta and handed her a fork and spoon. Renee accepted it, eager to start eatin

    Jovan watched Renee fall into a deep thought. His gaze deepened, filled with renewed ferocity.Jovan turned his wrist and said slowly, "Okay, stop overthinking. I can tell you the truth if you want to know it." Renee abruptly looked up. Her eyes were teary as she begged him, "What's the truth?" "Listen to me and stay with me." Jovan frowned. After a short contemplation, he grinned and continued, "Stay with me for ten days or half a month. Then, I'll tell you.""That's not possible!"Renee immediately refused him, growing cold. "I have to leave right away. I can't watch the two families get into a fight."If she didn't return to North City immediately to explain things, the Baldwin and Hunt families would get into a big fight. Regardless of her circumstances, she didn't want them to fight. They were good people, and she refused to see them hurt. "Just let them fight. It's just a fight among bad people. Your family can grab this chance to get back to the top. Don't you want tha

    Jovan felt that he wasn't as passionate and loving as Stefan."Stop beating around the bush. Why is he trying to hold himself back? You made a scumbag sound like he'd suffered a lot!" Renee snarled.She gnashed her teeth. If her foot was not chained, she would have long beaten Jovan up for being evasive and mysterious."I think he was forced to give up his beloved woman because of his identity. He has suffered a lot." Jovan frowned, his tone laced with sympathy."What about his identity? I've already known about that. Our grandfathers decided on our marriage. What are we, Romeo and Juliet?" Renee had wondered if their families were sworn enemies. It might be the reason why Stefan was in a dilemma.However, her grandfather made the Hunts take care of her when her family was doomed. Her grandfather always wanted the best for her. He held her hand and told her that only Stefan could make her happy, and only the Hunt family could protect her. It seemed unreasonable that Stefan was

    Jovan was stunned to hear Renee's words. He was so furious, he laughed."Maybe!" He agreed with her and looked at her wickedly. "Since I can't win him over, I want his beloved woman.""You're out of your mind!" Renee was disgusted as goosebumps gripped her. "I'm not his most beloved woman. He loves Briar the most. You got the wrong person. You should kidnap Briar instead. Then, you can get to him."She was acting out of spite, but she meant what she had said.In the past, she was confident that Stefan loved her the most. After so many things had happened, she was no longer as confident. Stefan eventually broke up with her because of Briar. It was enough to prove her position in his heart."Haha! Do you really think so?" Jovan shook his head, his lips a complicated smile. He seemed to be muttering to himself or hinting at something. "Unfortunately, he can't always do a good job. His romance is a mess. His most beloved woman doesn't understand him. How pathetic!""Stop mumbling!

    "You're trying to take revenge on Stefan, aren't you? What did he do? Why do you hate him so much?" Renee demanded.She was particularly clueless.At the very least, she felt that Stefan and Jovan didn't have a grudge even if they couldn't get along. Besides—back then, Stefan survived because of Jovan's blood.In a sense, they should be close to each other. Stefan was able to live on because of Jovan.Yet now, Jovan wanted to ruin the one he had once risked his life to rescue."No, I don't hate him," Jovan answered honestly. "I even admire him, and I'm jealous of him. He's my role model, the pride of my family.""Then, you're envious of him!" Renee went straight to the point. "You can't defeat him, so you tried to make him disappear. When that happens, you'll feel better. No one will block you, and you'll get a chance to shine."Jovan, speechless, slowly stopped smiling. Renee had accurately guessed his innermost thoughts. Since he couldn't defeat Stefan, he would let Stefan b

    The thing Renee feared the most was that Jovan's action would infuriate the Baldwins.Quinton, Adie, Abby, and Margaret were still there. If the Baldwin family wanted to do something bad, Renee's family would be in danger. Her happiness was secondary. She just wanted to ensure that her family was safe and sound.It seemed Austin was full of schemes. Though he seemed to have brought her family to live with her, he in truth just wanted hostages to control her…Unfortunately, she couldn't go back in time even though she had seen through his tricks."What's the rush?" Jovan watched Renee with a meaningful smile. "Someone will handle it even if it's a big mess. Your family will be fine. My foolish cousin won't let them be in danger. At most, the two families will fight fiercely."Renee was shocked. She glared at him, and suddenly understood something. "So you did it on purpose! You wanted to watch them fight and get something from it.""That's not my concern. Once, I was more powerf

    After all, Jovan was a human being. Such direct physical pain made him shake and groan. Normally, he should get angry and try all means to make her stop biting him.However, he was not an ordinary man. Although he trembled in pain, he maintained his posture and let her bite him as if he wanted to see who would give up first.Renee kept biting him fiercely, as if her teeth would gnaw through his palm. Blood oozed out of the wound. She was full of hatred, wishing to vent her anger. "Just bite me hard as long as you're happy. I'm enjoying myself too!"Jovan looked at her, whose head was lowered as she kept biting his palm fiercely. It was a bloody scene, but his words made everything sound ambiguous. Renee noticed his underlying meaning and was disgusted. She immediately let go of his palm. "Bah! Disgusting! You're sick!"Her lips were still stained with blood. From afar, it looked like a blooming rose from afar. It looked attractive on her. Aroused, Jovan held the back of her

    The bed was around seventy inches large. Renee's eyes were closed as she moved anxiously.She thought she was still sleeping in the West Chamber, but the mattress didn't feel the same. Then, she abruptly opened her eyes. She saw a luxurious bedroom in the Paris La Nuit Club style. Above her hung a brilliant chandelier akin to the ones in medieval castles. A fragrant scent permeated the air. "You're finally awake…" A man's bewitching voice came from an inconspicuous corner. "Renee."Jovan was sitting in a luxurious chair, his legs crossed, swaying a glass of red wine. He appeared like a stereotypical vampire as he stared wickedly at Renee. "Are you out of your mind, Jovan? What did you do to me?" Renee yelled.Recalling what had happened, she abruptly sat up. Once she realized her situation, she started snarling at him. "Do you or your family hold a grudge against me? Why did you kidnap me from my engagement party?! Have you thought about the consequences? I'm sure you know h

    "I… I don't know! I really don't know!" The makeup artist's face was flushed, her eyes rolling back. She felt like she was about to faint again."Are you still trying to hide the truth?" Justin continued flexing his fingers. He was certain that the makeup artist who suddenly wanted to modify the size of the gown must be aware of the truth.With her eyes rolled back, the makeup artist begged him, "I'll tell you…! Please let me go! I'll tell you everything!" Hearing that, Justin slowly released his grasp.The makeup artist finally got a chance to breathe. She kept taking deep breaths and almost cried because of her terror. "What should I tell you?" She truly knew nothing."What?" Justin's gaze grew fierce."Oh, I remember it now…" She drew in a cold breath and hurriedly said, "A handsome guy came not long after you were gone. I think he's Mr. Hunt. When Ms. Everheart saw him, she was very…"She paused, trying to find her words. "She was very…?" Justin urged her. This was the
