Chapter 493

Author: Mizuki Sei
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

The revolutionary new phone would stir the entire technology industry. Once launched, it must only succeed and not fail.Renee wanted to see what Hunt Enterprise had done with the phone design apart from using the G6 Chip provided by KCL Holdings as the core selling point. She wondered if there were any other revolutionary designs.However, high-level business secrets as such were usually well-protected. Stealing it was no small feat. Had Aiden really brought her the design?!If he had, it would be a real relief for her. She must hug the little one and kiss him a few times.Aiden opened his briefcase and took out the document he had sneakily slipped in earlier. He handed it to Renee with a proud look on his face. "Mommy, I'm great, aren't I? You're welcome!"Renee's eyes immediately lit up. She could not wait to see the

    Vermillion was neither eye-catching nor dark. It suited the scarf around her neck well, making her look brighter and more sophisticated. She was not as pale and weak as she looked just now. "I like this color. I didn't expect you to know women this well. You picked the right lipstick color." Renee pursed her lips and sincerely praised Jovan.Usually, insensible men would pick pink lipstick, which was awful. When Jovan picked that lipstick, Renee's heart skipped a beat. She was even wondering where she should go to remove the lipstick. However, it was not pink. It happened to be vermillion, which she had always favored. It would be hard to gain such knowledge if Jovan had not had experience with it. It could be seen that he had dated quite a lot of women."I'm glad you like it." Jovan looked at her rosy lips which were wonderful and charming. He inevitably swallowed.Renee noticed that he was charmed—but he was not simply attracted by her. Instead, he admired her religiously, whi

    "His money?" After a brief pause, Renee waved her hand and said without hesitation, "Well, I'll take this then!""Sure! Please wait for a moment." The saleslady's eyes brightened as she quickly packed the bracelet for Renee.Renee took the gift box and handed it to Jovan. Jovan took it readily and willingly carried it for her like her lackey.They exited the jewelry shop and went shopping someplace else. "You didn't want to use my money, but you used his. Do you value him or me?" Jovan was asking for rebuff. Renee turned and glanced at him. "What do you think?""Of course, you value me." Jovan grinned. "The greatest love is feeling sorry for and doting on your beloved. You must have felt sorry for me. So, you didn't want to spend my money.""Congratulations. You're good at comforting yourself." Renee was quite amused. She could not tell who she valued more. She had wanted to spend Stefan's money because she resented him, so she wanted to waste his money. She refused to use J

    It would cost around 150 fifteen dollars or less. Renee found it hard to spend so much of Jovan's money.Jovan stood behind Renee and acted like her wallet. He pocketed his hands and said straightforwardly, "Just show it to us.""Sure!" The saleslady's eyes lit up. She said something to the walkie-talkie, then asked them to wait. The headquarters were trying their best to deliver the item quickly. "May I know how much the new item costs?" Renee asked the saleslady tentatively."It depends on the individual prices of the jewelry and antiques. Its starting price is around 450 thousand dollars," the saleslady explained calmly.It was not a small figure for jewelry or an antique. If they were combined, the item would be more expensive. But people who came to the jewelry shop were powerful and rich figures. Hence, it was not an expensive price either."450 thousand dollars?!" Renee pursed her lips and tilted her head to look at Jovan. "I'll make an excuse to go to the washroom late

    The car drove through the city center in a high-profile manner and reached BC Airport. Jovan had bought an afternoon flight, so they had to wait for five hours. Of course, he had done it purposely because he wanted to spend more time with Renee.After parking the car, Jovan hypocritically glanced at his watch and asked in a dilemma. "There are five hours left before our flight. Do you want to go shopping?""I'm not in the mood." Renee leaned against the shotgun seat and sounded weak. After all, she had just escaped death. Yes, she had recovered, but her body had undergone a lot of hardships. She became rather weak. She was not interested in everything and was naturally in no mood to go shopping. "If you're not in the mood, let's get you into the mood. Let's go!" Jovan opened his car door and went to the other side to open the door of the shotgun seat. He dragged Renee out of the car. Helpless, Renee got out of the car with him reluctantly. After checking in on the flight, Jov

    Elijah sounded urgent and serious. "Mr. Hunt, something's wrong!"Meanwhile, Renee exited the hospital. There was a luxurious convertible at the entrance which attracted a lot of people's attention. Jovan, who kept a high profile, was sitting in the sports car.He was wearing an ostentatious black floral shirt. However, his ostentatious appearance coupled with his casual aura made him look more charming like a model from an advertisement. Renee covered her face and stealthily got into the car. "Can you stop keeping a high profile? You're very eye-catching. It's dangerous!"Jovan kept waving, shouting, and whistling at her just now. It filled her with deep embarrassment. "Well, we're all experiencing the world. If I don't keep a high profile, people won't remember me. I don't care what they think about me as long as I have a great time!"After Jovan confirmed that Renee had sat properly, he pressed hard on the gas pedal and started driving. Although Renee found that unaccept

    "Are you trying to sound me out?" Renee smirked, squinting her eyes at Stefan. Although he claimed that he wanted to end things with her and kept some distance from her, his actions betrayed him. These days, he kept staying close to her. Besides, he kept acting when it was time for her to leave the hospital. He purposely dawdled while helping her pack her things. Besides, he even asked about her relationship with Justin. It showed that he was reluctant to part with her. She was baffled. She wondered why he was that aloof if he could not part with her."No, I'm not." Stefan smiled and did not hide anything. He openly admitted, "I care about you.""You finally…" Renee's eyes brightened as she looked at him eagerly. She wondered if he had come to his senses and wanted to tell her the truth. He was willing to face the difficulty with her.However, he sounded even calmer. "After all, you're Adie and Abby's mother. Grandpa is always concerned about you. I want you to be happy and sa

    The Lotso bear was a villain in the movie, but it was a pitiful villain because it was abandoned by its owner. It used various means and encountered a lot of hardships to return to Daisy, its owner. In the end, it found that its owner had long gained new toys.After getting hurt, it no longer wanted to be kind. It was used to act cunningly as a form of disguise. But honestly, it was a dear baby who needed love. Of course, it was not a villain at all. Renee liked it because she saw herself as well as others in it. Everyone was gloomy in some way. People got hurt and slowly became gloomy. Instead of criticizing such a thing, Renee felt more compassion and sorry for such a situation. "But you still don't want it and want to throw it away." Stefan was gripped with complicated feelings after listening to Renee's explanation. He sounded sad."Yes, I like it. But I still want to throw it away. It's better to stop in time." Renee laughed and stopped shaking her legs. She was her usual

    A week later, Renee recovered because she listened to the doctor and underwent treatment. She could be discharged from the hospital.In the meantime, Stefan stayed outside the ward and did not enter the ward.On the contrary, Jovan kept entering the ward from time to time. Renee would either scold or drive him away. Stefan entered the ward on the day Renee was leaving the hospital. He quietly helped Renee pack up her things. Generally, a caretaker could do that. However, Stefan acted like he wanted to repent and felt better when he took it upon himself. "Do you still need this?" Stefan pointed at a Lotso bear toy at the head of the bed and asked Renee calmly.During the one-week hospitalization, Renee got bored. Stefan would give her some blind boxes as entertainment. Renee found Rubik's cubes, stickers, and keychains when she opened the boxes. She would always throw them away because she was not interested in them. When she unpacked a rather large Lotso bear toy, she became

    Jovan had kidnapped Renee, but he risked his life for her though he appeared like a cunning and selfish man. Renee felt that she did not deserve his love. She had wronged both Jovan and Justin, but she could not love them back. On the other hand, the one she wanted to love kept pushing her away cruelly…She slapped herself fiercely. Her action frightened the nurse. "Ms. Everheart, we can talk things out! Why did you hurt yourself? You can't…" "Don't worry. I'll get better and won't harm myself again." Renee was teary and laughed at herself. "I slapped myself because I recalled the things I'd done. I was very stupid, and I wanted to knock some sense into myself." "Okay, I'm glad to hear that." The nurse heaved a sigh of relief, but she was afraid to see Renee keep acting crazily. After she was done bandaging Renee's wound, she left hurriedly.When Stefan saw the nurse exit the ward, he walked in nervously and inquired about Renee. "How she's doing?" "She's already feeling be
