"Jovan?" Renee glared at the handsome man who walked into the technical department. She soon frowned and was on guard. Jovan Hunt was not somebody to be trifled with. When Renee was still Mrs. Hunt, he was the first person who could not accept her title, often tricking her both openly and secretly. He was the grandson of Timothy's brother. Hence, he was considered Stefan's younger cousin. He had always been in charge of Hunt Enterprise's foreign business, which left Renee to wonder why he had suddenly returned to Beach City. "M-Mr. Hunt!" Lisa and the other employees quickly bowed their heads, and they did not even dare to breathe as if they had just seen the grim reaper. So, it was clear that Jovan was quite respected and influential in Hunt Enterprise even though he was always the second in command. "Renee, it's been so many years. You look stunning..." Jovan was wearing a dark, distinguished, and customized suit. He had both hands in his pockets as his gaze lingered
However, Renee could save herself the trouble since Jovan offered to help. Besides, Stefan had always been cautious and held the authorization of Hunt Enterprise strictly. He had never treated his cousin kindly. His sudden generosity in giving up all his authorization to such an unreliable person, however, made Renee wonder if he was just careless or if something else had happened. She knew for a fact that Hunt Enterprise held a key role in the survival issue of Azure Group. Hence, she planned to use that chance to fleece Jovan of the truth. After all, Jovan looked like a fool, and he might just expose everything after a casual trick. "I can help you, but I have a small request," Jovan cracked a complicated smile and said gradually. Renee appeared composed. "Just tell me." "I want you to accompany me for one night." As soon as he made that request, everyone on the spot inhaled sharply and let out gasps. He did not regard Stefan seriously at all. Liam got so furiou
The surveillance video switched to a scene from Peppa Pig after Aiden walked into the president's exclusive elevator. Peppa Pig played for over an hour before the surveillance video was restored to it's original scene. They could not find Aiden at all in the original scene. It appeared that someone had deliberately exchanged that part for the clip from Peppa Pig. "What happened? Did someone hack into the surveillance system of the presidential zone?" "Hunt Enterprise's security system has always been solid, but it was hacked this time around, and we're humiliated as such. Our enemy must be badass... it seems like the boy is in danger!" "No, the technical department has to form an emergency team right away, and we'll need to make a report to the cybercrime division to help investigate this case. It won't be easy dealing with them!" All the employees in the technical department stared at the scene of Peppa Pig on the screen with panicked expressions. They were all at their high
When Jovan heard this, it sounded to him like somebody had finally pressed the start button for a long-awaited game. Obviously, he was very excited. "Don't worry. I'm not a pervert or a weirdo. I won't force you to do anything weird. You only need to accompany me to a certain place and spend some time there.""If you're not a pervert, then perverts don't exist in the world!" Liam couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed Jovan by the collar and pinned him against the wall. "Jovan, you've never been a good person. I can tell you've been eyeing her for a long time. I'm warning you. If you lay a finger on her, I'll kill you!" Liam growled."What's the point of warning me? If you have what it takes, kill me now," Jovan replied.He allowed Liam to press him against the wall. "What a pity. Without her permission, you wouldn't even dare lay a finger on me, right? There are rumors that you two have a close relationship, you know? However, in my opinion, you're nothing but her slave. What's there
Renee pressed her hand against her forehead. She felt exhausted on the inside. "I think you shouldn't be asking this," she said in a defeated tone.From her perspective, Liam was the person who understood her more than anyone in the world. Why would he make her choose at such a critical juncture?Liam's bright, charming eyes gradually dimmed as he lost hope.He began to murmur in a self-deprecating way. "Alright, Boss. You don't have to answer my question. I already know the answer.""Liam, don't do this. You know exactly how I feel. You're…" Renee trailed off."Just let it be!" Liam suppressed his hurt feelings and forced a smile upon his face. He then looked deeply at Renee. "From this moment on, I'm no longer your fiance. We'll be like siblings. I'll still do whatever I can to help you, but I'll no longer tie you down. You can live freely and choose the man you truly want to be with."Every word he said felt like a piece of himself getting stripped away.But what could he do
Renee nodded calmly. "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"Hence, the two left affectionately in front of all the employees of Hunt Enterprise.The employees sighed in disappointment."I can't believe how much Ms. Everheart has changed in four years. She's no longer the kind, gentle, and naive woman I knew. She has no morals to speak of, and she flirts with everyone she meets!""This means Hunt my Everheart has become completely irrelevant. I don't like her promiscuity. She doesn't deserve Mr. Hunt. He has been saving himself all these years, but she couldn't even refrain herself from a womanizer like Jovan. I feel sorry for Mr. Hunt…""It's not just Mr. Hunt I feel sorry for. I feel sorry for Liam too. He's completely innocent!"The employees decided they no longer liked Renee. One of them even said, "Hey, have you heard? Mr. Hunt hasn't returned because he's severely injured. In fact, it was all thanks to Ms. Everheart.""It's not just that. According to a reliable source, the
Under the night sky, a silver Bugatti Veyron rumbled along the tarmac at a devilish speed.Renee looked blankly ahead in the passenger's seat. Although she knew very well that Jovan, seated in the driver's seat, wasn't a good person, and there were definitely many traps ahead, she still remained calm.She might not have been confident when dealing with other people, but she was experienced enough when it came to idiots like Jovan.Upbeat music that sounded like rock blared in the car.Jovan was visibly happy. He was smiling from ear to ear. With one hand on the steering wheel and the other tapping against the window to the beat of the music, he looked very handsome under the amber glow of the street lamps."If you haven't slept, if I haven't stopped chasing, if being awake is a crime, take these promises away, exchange them with…"The man, swaying from side to side while humming along to the song, looked somewhat like Stefan. His facial features were exquisite, and he seemed extr
Renee would never have guessed that her cousin-in-law, Jovan, who would hurl insults at her at any given opportunity, was actually her fan!This was way too magical!"Based on what you said, you've known me since before I even married your cousin. You're also my fan. Am I right?" Renee was still in a state of disbelief, but she wanted to find out if this was true.Ocean's Word was a band she formed with a few friends from the lab back in college when she was bored. Neither she nor her friends were science freaks who'd only stay in the lab. They were all into music and dancing.In Renee's case, she was a lyricist and a composer. She also had an angelic voice.In the beginning, Ocean's Word recorded its own single and published it online. After gaining a large fanbase, they started performing in underground bars. Every show had a full audience, and its fanbase kept growing.Not getting married would've been much cooler, now that Renee thought about it. The feeling of being on the r
