Stefan and Shelley were supposed to go to the police station in a patrol car.However, during the ride, Stefan pursed his lips, frowned, and seemed to be deep in thought.The police officer thought he was too worried. "Mr. Hunt, you can relax. There shouldn't be anything major to worry about. Perverts like him show up in office buildings throughout the year. Based on our experience, they're all cowards. The worst they'd do is take pictures or touch women inappropriately. They wouldn't go any further than that. Otherwise…""Stop the car!" Stefan ordered with a cold look in his eyes."W-What's the matter, Mr. Hunt?""I'm not in the mood to listen to your nonsense. I want to get out of the car right now." While the police officer was blabbering, he discovered new clues. However, he couldn't be bothered to tell the others.The driver didn't dare to disobey Stefan. He immediately stopped the car by the road.Stefan opened the door and got out. He turned around and faced Shelley. "Go
"N-No… I wouldn't dare… Mr. Hunt, please forgive me. I won't do it again. Please…""Don't worry. I'll spare your insignificant life. I'll give you a taste of hell on earth!" Stefan stepped on the man's head and pressed it into the mud.The pervert didn't dare fight back, and he soon passed out from fear…Renee was still lying on the cold mat. She was already untied, and her clothes were also loose. Her fair skin was slightly pinkish. She looked like the most enticing meal in the world.Renee wriggled her way to Stefan and wrapped her arms around his legs. She then pressed her face against him. "Stefan, you're really here. Am I imagining things?"Stefan looked down confusedly at her. "You've been saved. Hurry up and put on your clothes. Stop messing around!"He didn't know that Renee was under the drug's influence and couldn't think clearly. He also didn't know that, from her perspective, he was the only cure for her burning passion."I haven't been rescued yet. I feel awful. It'
Renee was dumbfounded. She blinked several times before carefully asking, "W-What do you mean?"Stefan's facial expression was cold. He looked Renee up and down without revealing the contents of his mind.Renee was wearing a revealing silk pajama. She quickly covered her exposed skin with a blanket. "I can't remember. Why don't you give me a hint?" She asked carefully."Don't you remember what you did to me?" Stefan walked to the edge of the bed and asked in a deep voice, "Or are you pretending to forget so you won't be held accountable?""I honestly can't remember a thing. Show me the evidence. Don't slander a good person!" At this moment, Renee felt like a part of her memory had been erased. All she remembered was lending her phone to a guy after work ended. She genuinely couldn't remember anything else that happened after that.Which was why… She wasn't sure if she had gone berserk and 'bullied' Stefan last night.She prayed she didn't—otherwise, it'd be too embarrassing—and s
Stefan pursed his lips. "I tried to resist, but it didn't work. You know how strong you are, don't you?" He asked."Well…" Renee glanced at the ridiculous scratch marks on his body and suddenly felt less sure about her line of reasoning. "You should think about whether your outfit was too revealing. Did you use suggestive body language? Were you intentionally seducing me?""As a man, especially an attractive one, you should abide by modest virtues. Don't flirt all the time. If you can't even protect yourself, how can you expect others to protect you? If you tell people that you were 'bullied' on the internet, they'll only say you deserved it!""..." Stefan was speechless.What was wrong with him? Why was he arguing with her about this?In the end, Renee still felt a little guilty. She started coaxing him. "Alright, alright. Don't be sad. I acted too rashly and didn't take your feelings into consideration… I'll transfer some money to your account later. You can buy some supplements
"Renee, why are you in front of Stef's room? Did you two…" Xavier was the first to gasp.The others, including Christopher, who were from wealthy families, all appeared equally surprised.Renee cleared her throat and pretended to be calm. "I came here to talk about business. Nothing happened between us. Don't let your thoughts wander," she said arrogantly.In the next second, Stefan walked out of the room in his pajamas. His hair was still wet. "Oh, good thing you haven't left. Don't you want your scrunchie anymore?"Renee's facial expression froze. 'Damn! This is embarrassing!'She accepted the black scrunchie from Stefan. "What a coincidence. I was looking for it everywhere. It seems that you found it."Stefan crossed his arms before looking at her from top to bottom. "You look sexier with your hair down. Last night…""Ahem!" Renee coughed profusely in an attempt to stop him from speaking.Was he blind? There were so many people around. Was it necessary to describe such intim
Stefan looked at Renee and smiled. "What do you think, Ms. Everheart?"Renee rolled her eyes out of anger. "You're all sick. Do we even know each other that well? Why would a bunch of guys have the audacity to ask a woman to roast food for them? I…""That's true!" Stefan smiled vaguely. "After all, you used up a lot of your energy last night. It's such a pity that I…""Shut up!" Seeing how Stefan was about to take off his robe, Renee quickly cut him off. "Fine, I'll do it!"She wanted to discuss something in private with Xavier anyway.There were various ingredients, and a barbecue grill on the green field made up part of the vast backyard.The sun was blazed with fury. Stefan and the other men sat on deck chairs under the canopy and chatted.Renee, on the other hand, sat in front of the barbecue grill, roasting food for them. She had a sour expression on her face.The roasted pork belly was oozing oil, and the crispy chicken wings were coated with a layer of honey. There was a
Stefan giddily took a bite of the chicken wing while his friends observed in envy.After that, an intense spiciness began to spread from the tip of his tongue. It felt like it was being cut by a knife, and it was horrible."How does it taste, Stefan? Ms. Everheart roasted it with a lot of love. We're already drooling from just the smell…" Moses, the youngest in the group, asked with an envious look on his face."Cough!" Stefan neither chewed nor spoke. It was way too spicy.However, at this point, if he said it tasted awful, it would embarrass him too much.All these years, his ego had already been hurt enough by Renee's disappearance.This was especially true when he went searching for her on the deserted island. In the end, he had to beg for help from his family to safely return to Beach City. His friends had constantly teased him for this.Now that he finally had an opportunity to claim a small victory, he didn't want them to find out the truth just yet.Otherwise, his frien
"Hehehe…" Renee had no choice but to take a bite for show. She then lowered her voice. "Stefan, did you have to do this? Isn't it a little too cruel?""It's your own doing. I'm just returning the favor."The two pushed the chicken wing skewer back and forth while they bickered. To others, this seemed like a moment of intimacy.Moses smiled foolishly before quickly retrieving his phone to capture this 'heart-warming' moment. "Looks like the rumors on the internet are true. Stef and Ms. Everheart really do share true love. This is such a sweet photo. I have to share it on social media!"While saying this, Moses typed 'the couple I ship is real' before attaching a picture and publishing the post on social media."Hey, don't do that…" Renee felt that it had gone too far and tried to stop him.Unfortunately, Moses wasn't the only one who did this. The others did the same. Even if she wanted to stop them, it was too late.Feeling helpless, she turned to face Stefan. "Why aren't you sa
