"Well…" Renee was at a loss for words.Was Stefan really a bad person? He was just emotionless and full of himself. Although he behaved like a cold, indifferent machine to achieve his goals, he had never hurt anyone on purpose. Usually, the people who got hurt had done something wrong in the first place. When Renee thought about it, he couldn't be blamed…However, if Tristan's death had something to do with Stefan, then he was definitely a bad person!Renee hoped she could find some clues from the police department files, but she discovered that the footage of Tristan being shot had been deleted by someone four years ago. According to police records, the person who destroyed the footage was none other than the only witness of the shooting… Stefan!"That's strange!" Renee was surprised.The only footage that could ascertain the real cause of Tristan's death was destroyed by the only witness of the crime. Whether it was an accident or not depended entirely on what the witness said.
"Silly child, I couldn't possibly get angry at you. If I were to get angry at anyone, it'd be my troublesome grandson…" Grandpa Hunt huffed in annoyance. "His wife went missing for so many years, and yet he couldn't even find her. What an embarrassment!"From the way Grandpa Hunt criticized Stefan, Renee figured that he probably hadn't found out about Stefan's death yet. "Grandpa, have you… heard about anything major recently?""Like what?" Timothy smiled sadly. "Are you referring to my useless, dead grandson or the fact that Hunt Enterprise will soon be transferred to someone else?""Uhh…" Renee looked down with an awkward expression on her face. It seemed that Grandpa Hunt knew about everything.If that was the case, why did he seem so calm?Timothy could tell that Renee was confused. He sighed softly and said, "I'm getting old, and many things are out of my control now. Everyone has their own fate that's been decided by God. Even if we find something hard to accept, we have no
"We aren't sure if it was an accident. The only witness was Stefan, who said it was, so it had to be the case… The dead shall remain dead, and I no longer want to dig up the past," Timothy said cryptically, making Renee even more curious about the whole thing."Well, did you know that apart from Stefan being the only witness, he was also the one who deleted the footage of the incident? Don't you find that strange?" Renee urged.Timothy smiled a little, not surprised by the information. "It's normal. They've both been close since they were children. Stefan looked up to his older brother, and followed Tristan wherever he went. Tristan died in such a painful way, so maybe Stefan destroyed the footage because it ruined his good memories of Tristan and hurt him too much. It's completely understandable."Although it sounded convincing, it wasn't enough to persuade Renee."I heard that Tristan was supposed to be the successor of Hunt Enterprise, but he met with an accident just as he was
"Hmph, you're the real idiot here!" Timothy scowled. "Her impression of you was already at an all-time low, and now you're faking your own death?! What the hell were you thinking? You were already growing apart, but this time, you've really dug your own grave! How are you going to mend things now?"Stefan replied, "I have my plans. She hated me when I was alive anyway, so I can just use another identity to stay by her side and win her heart again.""Have you lost your mind?!" Timothy was furious. "Who do you think you are? In everyone's eyes, you're already dead! Do you think she'd stay single forever just to mourn your death? I don't care what you're planning. I just need you to clean this mess up! The more you stall, the harder it gets to deal with! You'll regret it if she marries a random man just to fill the hole in her heart!"Stefan's gaze grew cold, his possessiveness showing as he growled, "I will never allow that!"The reason he chose to fake his own death was so that he c
"What the hell?" Renee dismissed it quickly and hung up.However, Leia called her soon after, hurriedly saying, "Ren, where are you? Come to The Blue Inn, quick! If you don't, your little escort is going to lose his purity card!""Lose his purity card?" Renee was confused."Yeah! One of the employees in the pub called and asked me for help, saying that your favorite escort's popularity has gotten him into trouble! Some lady boss took a liking to him and offered 150 thousand dollars to spend the night with him, but he told her that he was saving himself for you!""What on Earth… Saving himself for me?" Renee was in sheer disbelief. She had only made out with that handsome man briefly, and she hadn't even been completely sober at the time. She thought, 'We didn't even do anything, but he's saying he's saving himself for me? Are you sure this isn't a prank?!'"Ah, they've gotten into a fight! There might be a lot of escorts here, but none of them have the strength to defend themselve
The lady boss was incredibly angry after hearing that. "So that's how you're going to play it, huh? Fine then, I'll be the bad guy! Hold him down!"After that, two men in black grabbed hold of Isaac's arms, securing him in place. The boss lady then brought out the whip she carried around at all times, then slashed it towards Isaac's chest.In an instant, the man's white dress shirt was torn open, with streams of blood flowing down his skin. His gorgeous looks, along with his cold elegance, made it a hauntingly beautiful sight."I'm asking you once again! Are you coming with me or not?!""I won't go with anyone but her!" With that, the escort earned himself yet another few slashes. The pub's owner and employees were watching fearfully from the side, not daring to lend a hand at all. The place was filled with the lady boss's underlings, so it would cost their lives to even speak up against this ordeal.When the wicked lady lifted her arm again, she noticed that she was unable to m
"Huh?" Renee watched as the gang left the pub with a confused expression on her face.She wondered, 'What just happened?! Was that lady toying with me? How could she just leave like that?!'Everyone in the pub was instantly relieved, and they quickly surrounded Renee. They stared at her in adoration as if she was their idol, nearly falling to their knees to express their gratitude towards her."Ms. Everheart, you truly are a heroine! Your fighting skills are even better than that viral video from a while ago! You're our goddess!""Ms. Everheart, please take care of our pub from now on! You know how some women are wild and unreasonable when it comes to the service industry! The escorts in my pub have been harassed multiple times up till now!" The pub owner sobbed uncontrollably."Especially our Isaac, his charm brought a lot of business ever since his debut, but it also attracted a lot of unwanted attention! That woman from earlier was quite powerful too! If you hadn't come here to
"Fine, I'll just treat his wounds first!"Just as Renee was going to send him to the hospital, Isaac shook his head. "We don't need to go to the hospital. It's not that serious. Just send me back home so I can rest for a couple of days."Renee figured she'd be able to send this clingy man away this way, and at that point, would have done everything she could to help. She'd be able to leave him without feeling any guilt then. "Okay, I'll take you home."Isaac's place was just nearby, and it was a single-story house with only one bedroom inside. The furnishings were rather minimalistic, which didn't seem to match his seductive appearance."Alright, I got you home. Get some rest, okay? It's getting late, so I'll be leaving now." Renee was wary of heading in, as it was quite inappropriate for her to enter a man's home in the middle of the night. On the other hand, Isaac's tall figure felt immensely fragile without her support; it looked as if he was going to fall unconscious if she l
