William was quite weak now. He found it hard to stand, so he leaned his head against Leia's shoulders. He had long known that he had committed an unforgivable crime, and it was no longer possible for him to be with Leia. Hence, he was determined to die. He just wanted to see and hug her one last time. He had consumed a strong poison before meeting her. Now the poison started to take effect. "Leia, this is what I deserve. I regret many things, but the one thing I don't regret is getting to know you. I have no regrets now that I can die in your arms..." William spoke intermittently. He exhausted his last effort to hug Leia as long as he could. Leia's eyes became red as she said fiercely to him, "William Jones, you're just a cunning man. What tricks do you want to pull now? A sympathy-getting ploy, isn't it? I won't believe you! "I’ll count to three. Tell me where Adie is right away. If not, you're going to suffer. Three, two..." Renee was sitting quite far from them, so she
She knew that he was not dead. He was so tough, even tougher than cats with nine lives. How could he just die like that? Renee learned from the waiter that Stefan had left from the side door. So she wanted to run after him through the side door immediately... "Ah! Someone's dead!" Someone pointed at William, who fell to the floor motionlessly and screamed. Most of the people in the restaurant dispersed in fear. However, some bolder people surrounded the scene. "William, you scumbag! Stop pretending you're dead. I won't believe you. I'm warning you. Get up now!" Leia was so scared that her face turned pale. Her hands trembled as she ceaselessly pushed the man who was lying on the floor. Renee realized that something was wrong, so she came back from the side door. "What's wrong?" Renee pushed the crowd aside. She frowned and asked with a low voice. Someone pointed at Leia and accused her loudly, "This woman is a murderer. She's been slapping this handsome man just now
The side door led directly to the beach, and the sea breeze blew at the surface of the ocean, sending waves against the beach. It was now late at night, so it was rather dim at the beach. There were not many people around, just a few couples taking walks. Renee stepped on the uneven beach sand. Her large, clear eyes scanned the coastline back and forth quickly. The sea breeze made her hair messy and ruffled the hem of her white dress, revealing her slender legs. She was like a succubus running wildly in the dark. There was a different touch of charm to her... Renee looked around for a long time, but it was to no avail. Her excitement gradually turned into disappointment. She cursed inwardly, "Stefan, damn it! Are you playing hide-and-seek with me? How childish!" She suddenly felt that she was a bit foolish, and she wanted to stop the game now. After all, he would appear one day if he was still alive. While dwelling on that, she bent down and dusted off the sand on her c
Renee grimaced and hurriedly let Julian go. Then, she got up and made herself look presentable. She said coldly, "Are you saying you made that glass of Blue Flame earlier?"Julian looked nonchalant as he remained seated on the beach sand. Julian propped his arms and looked up and Renee. Then, he asked in reply, "What? Did you think Stefan made it for you?"Renee rolled her eyes coldly before shifting her gaze to the deep dark sea. She pursed her lips and said nothing.Julian explained, "Stefan made this drink for me before. I pestered him for a long time before he gave me the recipe. He said it was your creation. I found the drink interesting. The heat of vodka and the coolness of the mind are the most incompatible things. However, they created such a magical chemical reaction together… Well, it's just like you and Stefan."Renee snorted disdainfully. "You're overthinking. I didn't think much and concocted it on a whim. I didn't remember the recipe until you reminded me of it.""W
"Me?"Renee furrowed her brows, unable to figure out Julian's plan.Renee was just a stranger to Stefan and had nothing to do with the Hunt family. How could Julian ask her for help? Julian must be overestimating her kindness. Julian continued with a grave expression. "Six months ago, I stepped down as Chief R&D Officer at KCL Holdings and sold some of my shares. KCL Holdings has changed ownership now. I heard that the new chairman is also from a technical background but is more business-minded than me. He's going to carry out a radical reform of the whole group, from all levels of staff, internal management, and external partners. I'm no longer as influential after stepping down from my position…"Renee arched her brow and said nonchalantly, "A business is like a kingdom. Changes are inevitable, even for a prosperous kingdom. So what exactly are you trying to convey?""I'm a free spirit. I love freedom and don't want to be involved in these business disputes. I don't care about
From Julian's words, Renee could tell that Hunt Enterprise was in trouble this time. Stefan had gone missing at such a critical moment, and his fate was unknown. Even if Stefan were alive, he would probably be in a difficult situation. Even so, what did it have to do with her?The rise and fall of an empire was normal. Besides, Hunt Enterprise was the industry leader for many years. It was only normal for Hunt Enterprise to decline after so long. Even if she promised Julian to run the business in Stefan's stead, she could not restore the declining business. However, Renee was curious to know who had the guts to plot against the heir to the Hunt family twice in a row. As she thought of that, she opened her laptop and looked for information about Tristan's murder years ago.Unfortunately, there was very little information about Tristan on the internet. There was almost nothing.Renee thought the Hunt family might have specifically restricted public information to keep Tristan's
Renee opened the door and was overjoyed to see who had arrived at her doorstep. It was none other than Aiden! "Mommy, it's been a long time. I miss you so much! Hug me!"The handsome little Aiden opened his arms towards Renee calmly. He was neat and clean. He seemed safe and did not fall into the wrong hands earlier.Aiden's arrival took Renee by surprise, but soon anger filled her. She crossed her arms and began to lecture Adie with a stern face. "Adie. Did you have a lot of fun before coming to me?""I was only away from Sun Island for a short time. How dare you? Did you think we wouldn’t be worried? Were you trying to make me angry?""Hey, Mommy. Calm down. I'm back now…" Aiden shrugged indifferently. He expertly jumped into Renee's arms and put on the most innocent and cute look on his face. He looked at Renee with his big, shiny eyes and blinked adorably. "Mommy, you know me well. What's there to worry about? You're getting too worked up... But I know that's because you l
Aiden behaved this time. He knew Renee was furious, so he listened to her orders obediently. Aiden got down on his knees at once and held out his hands cooperatively. He faced Renee's anger calmly. "Mommy, go ahead. You should calm down after hitting me. Don't stay angry. Anger is bad for your health. It's okay for me to be in pain.""You're still being slick, aren't you?"Renee got furious and hit Aiden's palm with the ruler. She questioned with a stern tone, "Do you know what you did wrong yet?"It was a painful hit. A red mark immediately emerged on Aiden's tender skin. Even so, Aiden remained strong. Although his eyes were full of tears, he did not cry out. He raised his chin and said stubbornly, "I didn't do wrong. What's wrong with protecting Mommy?""Adie!" Renee was so angry that she hit Aiden with the ruler again, harder than the previous time.Renee had no other choice as the little one was getting more and more disobedient each day. She could barely control him anymor
