"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
"It's inside that shelf over there, at the doorway. I'm so sorry for all this trouble," Stefan said while panting softly, as if he was so frail that he couldn't do anything himself. He had truly mastered the art of being a knight in distress.Renee found the first aid kit, which contained bandages, antiseptic cream, and some basic essentials.As she got to the sofa, she stared at the man's perfect facial structure, along with his beautifully sculpted body and frosty aura. The woman thought to herself, 'What eye candy! He's like a damn incubus!'"Take your shirt off," Renee ordered, looming over him like an experienced maneater.'Oh my god, she's so bold!'This time, Stefan was the one who felt quite bashful and covered his chest with both arms, asking, "Why? I can't do much in my current state… But if you insist, I'll still try and do my best to please you."Renee's cheeks turned red as she clenched her jaw. "What are you thinking? I was going to apply medicine for you! How am
Stefan seemed serious. "On the surface, I'm just an escort, but I'm actually a therapist too. I can provide professional therapy, and I am skilled in hypnosis as well. Your best friend mentioned that you have a lot of unhappiness suppressed, so I hope you can open up to me. If you trust me, I can help you come out of that darkness.""A professional therapist?" Renee was quite surprised. She really thought the man's bread and butter was his looks."What's with that look?" Stefan smiled lightly, brushing her hair to the back with his long fingers. "Do you not believe me? Or do you feel disappointed… Well, I can still actually pay special attention to your body too, if you want me to.""No thanks!" Renee's face turned red, and she pushed the man away forcefully as she sat up straight. Her tone was frosty as she said, "Of course I don't believe you! You've been flirting with me the whole night! How could you be a professional therapist?!"Professional therapists need to possess a lot o
