During the day, the primeval forest with dense vegetation at Floating Cloud Villa was a natural oxygen bar for the wealthy, a place for them to take vacations and recuperate. However, during the night, it was a dangerous place where all kinds of wild beasts roamed.At the center of the forest was a sealed underground bunker surrounded by vines and thorns. Few people came to this area. Right now, it was emitting a faint blue light that looked like an eerie fire in the dark night.Renee was sitting at the bottom of the hole. The humid air carried a musty smell, and occasionally mice and cockroaches would crawl past her. Her delicate little face was expressionless. She was calm.Heh, that fool Jane thought that if she tricked Renee into this air-raid shelter and locked her in, she would be teaching Renee a lesson.However, Renee's grandfather had taught her survival skills in the wild when she was little. This environment was no doubt a nightmare for ordinary people, but for her, it w
Stefan thought Renee was trying to trick him so she did not take her warning seriously.Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle.Looking down, he saw a black snake spitting out its bright red tongue, looking at him menacingly. The snake was about two fingers wide."Crap!"Stefan frowned. He could clearly feel the muscles around his ankle becoming numb. He could hardly stand anymore.He quickly moved Renee behind him to protect her and said, “I'll lure it away. You look for a chance to escape!""Did it bite you?" Renee clenched her fists and said in a tense voice, "The snake has a silver ring around its neck and lives in a humid place, so it should be highly venomous. Stop moving so that the venom won't spread so fast!"Shut up if you want to live!"Renee's voice was so loud that it was giving him a headache.In his opinion, all Renee's voice would do was anger the cold-blooded animal in front of them.He had no experience in handling snakes, but under the tense situation,
"Mhh..."The man's lips were hot. Renee's mind went blank. She simply let him get the best of her as if her body had been paralyzed.This was not the first time he had kissed her, but it was the first time he was doing it so passionately and enthusiastically.So much so that she found herself immersed in the kiss and could not help responding...While getting lost in the kiss, Renee opened her eyes and took a peek to see what kind of expression Stefan had when he was kissing her.Stefan's eyes were tightly closed. His slightly curled long eyelashes and his pronounced facial features were truly a work of art.His deep eyes, his high nose bridge, his perfect jawline, his thin and sexy lips... If looks could kill, his face would be a weapon of mass destruction!Four years ago, she was enthralled by this handsome face.Four years later, she found that she still had no resistance to it!"Ahem!"In the darkness, someone coughed awkwardly."Boss, are you done kissing? We've been he
The person in the lead was none other than the guy Renee had been waiting for all night—Jerome."Ms. Everheart, my naughty daughter has gone way over the line this time. I've already punished her by grounding her for a month. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive her." Jerome sincerely apologized, his face filled with guilt."I was lucky enough to escape unscathed, but my husband, who tried to save me..."Renee looked towards the ward where Stefan was, her fingers clenching slightly.Although his life was no longer in danger, the toxin had accumulated in his body, so no one knew if it would have any lasting effect. She was somewhat worried and also felt a bit guilty.If she had not tried to put on the act to acquire South Group's cooperation, Stefan would not have been in danger.She could now take the opportunity to make the request from Jerome, but... she could not do it.Liam, however, did not have that kind of reservation. He cut straight to the point. "If apologie
Renee frowned and asked the doctor nervously, "Please tell me.""Because the snake venom is too strong and can disrupt the victim's central nervous system, Mr. Hunt may experience symptoms of quadriplegia for the next few days. In other words, he won't be able to move. You and Mr. Hunt should not panic if that happens. He's not paralyzed for life. He'll be fine once the snake venom is cleansed.""Quadriplegia?"While Renee was still digesting that word, a loud noise came from the ward."Get out! Get out! Don't touch me!"Stefan had come to. His angry voice was loud enough for the entire floor to hear him.Renee and the doctor hurried over.They saw several young nurses standing at the door of the ward, all of them afraid to go in."What's the matter with you people? The patient's awake. Why aren't you taking care of him? Don't you want to work here anymore?"The doctor said with a serious expression.The person lying inside was Stefan Hunt, the CEO of Hunt Enterprise! If they
Seeing Stefan’s look of despair, Renee felt like laughing, although she knew it was terrible thing to do.Hahaha! Every dog has its day. It was rare to see the cold and arrogant iceberg wither like this. How could she easily let the chance go?Renee lowered her eyes and tried to put on a serious expression. "Yes. Accidents happen, you know. Life is full of ups and downs. That's life.”Stefan closed his eyes and said, "Get out. I want to be alone.""I can't do that. This happened to you because you came to save me. I'll definitely share this burden with you."Renee's kindness was met with Stefan's ruthless rejection. “No need!""Are you sure?""Get out!"Stefan's words were so cold they seemed to have come from the north pole. "I don't want to say the same thing twice!"Right then, Stefan's phone rang. It kept ringing without showing any signs of stopping, as if it would keep going as long as Stefan did not answer."Mr. Hunt... I'll get out and leave you alone now." Renee rais
"Didn't you say you'll share the burden with me earlier? Are you scared already?” Stefan sneered. "If you want to leave, just leave. I might as well die than live like this."Renee typically would not give in to harsh threats but was a sucker for attacks on her conscience. If she really left him now, she would feel terrible."Alright, I'll take care of you. But I'm only doing it for the money!" said Renee.After all, Stefan turned out this way because he tried to save her. She hated being indebted to others. If she really left him now, how could she let her conscience rest?In any case, it would only be for a few days. It would be over in the blink of an eye!"You choose to do this willingly. I didn't force you." Stefan said arrogantly."That's right, it's because I'm bored and I love to get yelled at. I'm becoming your servant willingly. Happy?"Renee rolled her eyes and silently added, "Arrogant bastard!"Stefan truly did have the capitalist mindset. He immediately started to
"You mean... right now?"She looked at the man on the bed who could not move, then at the doctor and nurses who had professional fake smiles on their faces. She felt like she had played herself."Of course. Do you want to wait until the venom spreads to my heart and brain and kill me?”Stefan's cold words left Renee speechless."A man and a woman shouldn't have such intimate contact. I... don't think this is appropriate.”Renee was embarrassed and wanted to run away.She never even got to hold Stefan's hand usually. Now she had to touch every inch of his body?... The mere thought of it made it hard for her to breathe.The doctor was puzzled. "But Mrs. Hunt, you're his wife. This could not be any more appropriate.""Well, I mean, I'm not a nurse. My technique may not be very professional.""That's nothing to worry about. When you rub the medicine, try to rub it on every inch of his skin, then make sure you massage him a lot to promote absorption."After the doctor said that, h
