Chapter 944

Author: Mizuki Sei
Renee slapped Chase violently across his face, her patience worn thin to the bone.

"Spit it out, will you?!" she demanded. "Just tell me your idea and stop sputtering like that! It's like you're teasing me!"

Chase smiled awkwardly and replied, "The impostor, Mr. Q is indeed a cautious man, and he would only contact me through text messages. There's also no way to ascertain his address or whereabouts through his phone number, so unless he's willing to voluntarily show up, we have no way of finding him. So far, the only person who can make him turn up willingly is you, Ms. Everheart."

"I'm afraid I'm not that powerful…" said Renee dejectedly. "Ever since he stood me up, I couldn't contact him at all. If he really cared about me, he would've been a little more to say goodbye before he left."

"I believe the impostor, Mr. Q, must have a good reason for it…"

"So? Get to the point. What should I do to get him to show up?"

"It's really simple." Chase curled his finger in a beckoning gest

    Renee asked Chase the question in confusion."You're right, someone's getting punished, and it's you!"Chase smiled and pulled out a key to open the door to the water prison before bowing slightly and making an inviting gesture towards Renee."Go ahead, Ms. Everheart!""???" Renee gulped, her hair standing on end.The water prison wasn't even large. It was about the size of a small bedroom with a height of about six and a half feet, more than deep enough to completely submerge a human being. The walls were smooth and polished, but they were dotted with numerous holes of different sizes. These were possibly the cavities from where the snakes, centipedes, boiling oil, acid, and whatever else were let out into the water prison. Because no one had been in there for a long time, the water prison gave off a nasty rotten stench, like the smell of dead rats or even human corpses. She could not bear to be inside the water prison for long, because as soon as she took a breath, she would

    Chase's guess was right on the money—Stefan did indeed plan to completely distance himself from Carmine Pawnshop, so he would never turn up anyway under the guise of "Mr. Q" ever again. He even intended to discard the SIM card with the hidden IP address. But as soon as he saw the video of Renee being tortured in the water prison sent by Chase, he instantly lost his mind, retaining not the slightest trace of reason.At the moment, he was accompanying Seraphina as they attended a very important family banquet of the Murphy family, where they discussed the cooperation between the Hunt family and the Murphy family for the next season.Seraphina's father, Ethan Murphy, was fully satisfied with the agreement he had reached with Stefan, and all throughout the evening, he had been dropping hints every now and again that they should start planning for the wedding between Stefan and Seraphina."You must be aware of how I've treated you all these years, Stefan. You and my darling Sera have bee

    Although Chase knew that the man in front of him was an impostor, he still instinctively became respectful and deferential when facing him, not least due to the naturally powerful aura that he exuded."In that case," said Stefan, "tell him to keep his word!"Without hesitating for another second, he then pushed the door open and tried to head inside."Wait!" Chase stopped Stefan just as he was opening the door, frowning. "Think carefully before you barge in! This is the water prison. Once you go in there, you might never come out alive again, or worse, you might suffer a fate far worse than death!""As long as she's safe, I don't care."Stefan took a deep breath and still pushed the door open without any hesitation.Inside, the water level had already reached Renee's waist, and in less than five minutes, when it would reach her shoulders, at least 500 snakes, bugs, and rats would be released automatically through the holes. There would soon be plenty of venomous snakes in there,

    Standing at a high spot, Quinton looked down at Renee, who was still in the water prison and told her, "Hurry up and get out, sister. The water level is increasing, and soon, what's going to come out of these holes won't be water, but venomous creatures of all manner like snakes and bugs.""No!" Renee raised her head and looked at her brother in panic. "Brother, you gave me your word! You told me you'd give me the full authority to deal with the impostor, didn't you? So what are you doing now?""I wanted to let you handle it yourself, but as soon as I learned the impostor's true identity, I knew I just had to break my promise to you. Please forgive me, Renee."Beneath his mask, Quinton's eyes became dangerously ruthless, as if he could hardly restrain himself from tearing the impostor into pieces right then and there."This is my own personal vengeance. I have endured crushing humiliation for so many years just so I can avenge myself one day, so I can't just let him go.""Personal

    "Ms. Everheart."Chase chased after Renee, who looked rather emaciated and lonely from the back."What is it?""Are you really going to leave now?""Why should I stay here?""You should hurry up and stop Boss! He's not joking, you know. No one else in Carmine Pawnshop—no, no one else in Beach City can stop him except you! If you leave now, then Mr. Q… no, then that devil Mr. Hunt will surely die!""Since you called him the devil yourself, then isn't it right that he should die anyway?""You can say that," Chase warned her with feeling, "but if he really dies, then he'll really be gone forever. Won't you be upset? Or rather… aren't you afraid of the consequences?"Stefan Hunt had always been Carmine Pawnshop's deadliest enemy. Back then, when the two parties were at war with each other, Chase was one of the main forces fighting against him, and he even had his leg injured by the Hunt family, an injury from which he still suffered long-term effects even now. Naturally, Chase also

    Immediately following that was the sound of Quinton's roaring laughter."Hahahaha, look at you now, Stefan Hunt! I can't believe something like this would ever happen to you. Do you remember how I begged you to let me live all those years ago, and you refused me? Now you get the retribution that you deserve!""Don't stop!" He ordered his men. "Keep it going! Keep releasing more things into the water! I want this snob to taste what it's like to suffer a fate worse than death!"Just then, Stefan's agonizing cry of pain once again rang out.Chase was in such a panic that he stomped his feet and rushed towards Renee, who still stood coldly and frigidly there, "Ms. Everheart, he really can't hold on for much longer! I hope, and I wish, that you won't regret this!""Ugh! So annoying! How can you be such an annoying gnat?!"After yelling at Chase, she then turned around and returned to the water prison.As expected, the water had reached Stefan's neck, and snakes and insects could be s

    "Cut the crap! Hold on." After Renee said that, she fainted out of exhaustion. At last, Quinton's heart softened. He asked someone to help Renee and Stefan up before he found some exceptional doctors to try their best to save them…The next day, Renee woke up in deep pain. "Sis, you're finally awakened. You scared me so much!" Quinton grabbed Renee's hand. He became so agitated that his eyes turned red. "If anything happens to you, I won't survive…"Renee's lips were pale, and she had not a bit of strength in her. She asked feebly, "How is Stefan?" "He…" Quinton's gaze flickered, and he instantly changed the topic. "How are you feeling now? Does your head hurt? Are your eyes blurry? Can you see things well?"I'm fine. My head hurts a bit. Tell me… How is Stefan?" Renee asked anxiously. She could tell from her brother's expression that something must have happened to Stefan. If not, her brother would not look like he had a guilty conscience. "Err… I'm not very sure ab

    Stefan lay in the guest room of Carmine Pawnshop. His eyes were tightly closed, and his breathing was slow. He was still in a coma. "How long has he been in a coma?" Renee forcefully exerted her weak body and rushed to the man's bed before she asked in concern. Her eyes inevitably turned red the moment she saw Stefan. It was because she'd never seen him so weak before; it was as if anyone, even a three or four-year-old child, could kill him with great ease. "You guys are rescued together. It's already been three days." Quinton stood at the back with both hands in his pockets while making an honest reply. "Didn't you send him to the hospital? I'm sure a more professional hospital can save him, given his condition."Why didn't you send him to the hospital?" Quinton explained, "The first thing I did was get some people to rush you guys to the hospital, but those doctors were out of options. They claimed that you guys were dying, so I spent a lot of money to get a professi

    "I don't know how to tell you. I'm sure you can understand." Renee could not bring herself to say more because it was a humiliating privacy. She might as well keep it to herself."Let me guess…" Justin's gaze grew sharp as he went straight to the point. "The man in your story is Stefan, isn't it?" Silence washed over Renee as she kept her head bowed. It was a silent approval.Justin burst into reckless laughter, which was scary. He looked down at his cut wound and laughed pathetically. "This is why he could make you fall in love with him, and I couldn't. I'm too cultured compared to him.""Don't say that, Haze!"Seeing how defeated Justin was, Renee became uneasy. "It isn't written in the stars for us. Plus, I've fallen in love with Stefan a long time ago before I even got to know you. I also rely on him physically and psychologically. I can't control my feelings. It's not something we can change. We…" "Stop!" Heartbroken, Justin pushed away everything in front of him and s

    Time passed by. Gradually, the pain knocked some sense into Justin. He no longer wanted to take advantage of Renee."Let me get you some water." Renee had no idea what she could do for Justin. After some contemplation, she got to her feet and poured him a glass of water.Finally, she studied the room closely and found that it was a wedding room as Justin had mentioned. Everything was set up according to her preferences, which she had occasionally mentioned to Justin. For example, she loved keeping some ceramic ornaments on the bedside cabinet and hanging some seashell wind chimes at the windows. The entire room was painted in beige and green, which were her favorites, too. Beige gave a sense of warmth, while green gave a sense of gloominess. All of those details became the perfect wedding room for Renee.If everything went on smoothly, she would spend most of her time there, and he would be her life companion. Unfortunately, there were no ifs in the world.Renee handed the gla

    Renee covered her lips, her tone filled with disbelief. "I…cut myself." Justin leaned against the corner and frowned deeply. He was in deep pain."Why did you cut yourself?" Renee was scared out of her wits and grew more sober. In her panic, she threw herself at him and tried to stop his bleeding.Justin reacted aggressively as he waved his dagger and warned fiercely, "Get away from me! Don't touch me!" "I…" Renee paused, too afraid to act recklessly. She pointed at his wound and said, "I'm just worried about you. You're bleeding. It must hurt a lot. Why did you hurt yourself?" "It's better to be in pain!" Justin gnashed his teeth and said in agony, "The pain will knock some sense into me, so I won't act like an animal and lose control of myself.""I see…" Stunned, Renee was moved to tears. She understood why he cut himself. Surprisingly, he wanted to stay sober and not be controlled by the drug in the wine.He could have used her to satisfy his desire, and she would never b

    "You're playing with fire!" Justin leaned close to Renee's ears and said fiercely, "What do you think there is in the wine? Maybe I'm not someone who will take liberty on women, but I can't promise that the wine won't make me so." "So, you're saying that the wine…" Suddenly, Renee realized the wine was not as simple as she thought. She also understood why Rose had behaved in such a mysterious manner. "Stay…away from me!" Suddenly, she became frightened and wanted to keep some distance from Justin. She knew that people could not be trusted completely, especially under the effects of chemical reactions. Things would certainly get out of control. Justin probably did not want to do anything to her, but both of them would lose their minds under the effect of the wine and do something that would fill them with regret. The only way to prevent such an incident was to avoid each other."You want to stay away from me, but it's too late now. I'm no saint. I'm just a normal guy!"Just

    "I'm so thirsty!" The burning sensation of the wine made Renee thirsty. She wanted to drink some water.In the dark, she heard some rustling. The next second, something was on her lips. It seemed to be someone else's lips. She wondered if someone had secretly kissed her."Who are you?" Renee grabbed the person in front of her and interrogated angrily, "How dare you kiss me without my permission! Do you know who I am? I'll cut off your lips!""Let's see if you can do that or not." The man sounded dull and drunk, but he was also overbearing.Although Renee was drunk, she could discern who it was. She called out in the dark and tried to confirm her doubt. "Haze…?" "Yeah, it's me," Justin admitted, but he did not plan to let her go. He used a more overbearing manner and trapped her between him and the door."What do you want?" Renee panicked. She wanted to kick him away, but she did not resist when she learned that it was Justin. After she had done so many things to hurt him, s

    The servant walked forward with trepidation and helped Justin back to his room. Austin's eyes were dark. He whispered to his assistant, who nodded and immediately carried out his order.After two glasses of strong wine, Renee felt dizzy and could not stand steadily. "It's weird. Is this wine this strong? I just had two glasses of it, but I feel quite dizzy." It was hard for her to exit the hall. She could not stand properly, so she supported herself against the wall."Ms. Everheart, you didn't seem well. Let me help you to get some rest." Austin's assistant caught up to her and stood behind her. He even sounded respectful. "It's… fine. I can go back to my room." Renee waved; she didn't want to trouble others. Besides, she did not want others to see how miserable she was. She had assumed that she was good at drinking and would not get drunk, but it seemed like she had overestimated herself. After two glasses of wine, she became quite drowsy. She would not easily leave if s

    Renee blinked and smiled brightly at Justin, asking him, "Are you worried about me?" "No, I'm not worried about you!" Justin said angrily. "I don't want you to get killed here. I can't explain it to your brother and kids. It's hard to handle the three of them."He was not lying. Although he had befriended Quinton, Adie and Abby might make a scene there if they realized that Renee had drunk so much wine at the party. They were witty, always full of ideas.Hence, it was better not to cause trouble. Before they could make a scene and things get out of control, Justin must stop Renee. He wasn't worried about her at all. "So, you're not worried about me?" Renee's gaze turned dull as she sighed. "It looks like you didn't forgive me. So, I must drink this glass of wine." Something was wrong with Renee, or perhaps she just wanted to torture herself. It seemed like she insisted on drinking the wine. She swung off Justin's hand and gulped down the wine."You're out of your mind!" Justi

    The aged white wine was strong. Ordinary people would find it hard to drink a glass of it. Yet, Renee had drunk two glasses of it consecutively. It was a little dangerous. Everyone at the dining table was initially watching the fun, but they showed Renee some pity after she drank two glasses of wine consecutively. After wiping her lips clean, Renee staggered and said to Justin, "Let me toast to you now. I've wronged you the most." Justin, sitting there, said with a poker face, "You don't have to say sorry to me. We don't hold each other any grudge. After all, we can't make others fall in love with us.""No, I must apologize to you. It's for my sake." After that, Renee used a bigger glass and filled it with wine."Whatever!" Justin frowned and ignored Renee. He had no idea what was wrong with her. He had yielded and let her off, but she stubbornly wanted to keep drinking the wine.He wondered if she had forgotten the fact that she had just recovered from a serious illness. She

    Suddenly, Justin became mature and stopped making jokes. He talked steadily and was no longer emotional. It filled Austin with worry because it made him feel like Justin was an emotionless robot.In comparison, he liked Justin's previous self better. At that time, Justin was simple and sentimental. He was the grandson Austin doted on the most.Sophia grinned and commented, "Dad, you don't have to worry about Justin. Men will change. Previously, he was just a childish kid even though he was in his twenties. He didn't know how to see through people's pretense. But he's all grown up now. He knows what's right or wrong. That's a great thing!" As a mother, she naturally did not want her son to get hurt. Although she favored Renee and wanted the latter to be her daughter-in-law, she would give up since Renee had let her son down and harmed him. All she wanted was to see Renee get away from her son."Yes, you're right. People need to grow up. He has grown up a lot lately, but the price
