Chapter 947

Author: Mizuki Sei
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

    Renee said pessimistically, "I'm afraid my kids will hate me to the core for killing their father!" "No, that won't happen. Sis, don't worry. The exceptional physician I hired is an outstanding physician with great medical skills. He claimed that Stefan will be all right as long as he can wake up in time. This guy will be fine." At first, Quinton did not plan to let Stefan off the hook, but since he was his nephew and the biological father of his niece, he could only let go of his grudge and let him stay alive. "I hope so…" Renee heaved a long sigh. "My mind is a mess now. Please leave me alone. I want to stay with him." "Okay." Quinton nodded and patted her shoulder. He said apologetically, "Don't worry, sis. I was too impulsive. I'll try my best to make it up to you." After Quinton left the room, Renee no longer pretended to be rational or aloof. She sat before Stefan's bed and held his hand with a heart full of worry and pain. "Stefan, you've been sleeping for a long

    When Renee came out of the room, Quinton, who had been guarding outside, went to her. "Sis, what happened? Why are you in such a flurry? Did that guy wake up?" "His fingers moved. I think he's about to wake up…" Renee tried her best to calm herself down before she said to Quinton seriously, "Can you promise me one thing?" "Of course, I'll promise you no matter what you ask of me!"Quinton announced humbly as he tried his best to please Renee for fear that his only sister would hate him. "Treat Stefan's illness. Don't hurt him. Let him live even if it's not for me. Do it for Adie and Abby." Renee stared at Quinton with a firm and solemn gaze that had no intention of giving in. After a series of incidents, she felt that she did not know him enough. She did not know his limits after being reunited with him after such a long separation. So, she still did not dare to trust him fully, even though they were a pair of twins."Er…" As expected, Quinton's eyes wavered. He was

    The servant was standing outside while carrying a bowl of steaming herbal medicine, but the servant did not dare to enter the room. "Mr. Hunt, please take the medicine while it's hot. There is residual venom in your body. If you don't take the medicine in time, I'm afraid that the toxin may spread. It'll be dangerous by then…" The physician, whose mustache had turned white, stood outside the room and advised Stefan earnestly. He had treated many noble and rich people, so he had seen a lot of patients who were hard to deal with. However, it was the first time for him to meet such a difficult patient like Stefan. At first, Stefan was nearing death. He was finally saved after much difficulty, but he did not listen to the others at all. He did not even want to take the medicine. He was simply courting death. "Where's Renee? Where is she? I want to see her. Get lost if you're not her!" Stefan casually picked up an antique vase and threw it hard at the door. When it was about

    The Lotso bear was a villain in the movie, but it was a pitiful villain because it was abandoned by its owner. It used various means and encountered a lot of hardships to return to Daisy, its owner. In the end, it found that its owner had long gained new toys.After getting hurt, it no longer wanted to be kind. It was used to act cunningly as a form of disguise. But honestly, it was a dear baby who needed love. Of course, it was not a villain at all. Renee liked it because she saw herself as well as others in it. Everyone was gloomy in some way. People got hurt and slowly became gloomy. Instead of criticizing such a thing, Renee felt more compassion and sorry for such a situation. "But you still don't want it and want to throw it away." Stefan was gripped with complicated feelings after listening to Renee's explanation. He sounded sad."Yes, I like it. But I still want to throw it away. It's better to stop in time." Renee laughed and stopped shaking her legs. She was her usual

    A week later, Renee recovered because she listened to the doctor and underwent treatment. She could be discharged from the hospital.In the meantime, Stefan stayed outside the ward and did not enter the ward.On the contrary, Jovan kept entering the ward from time to time. Renee would either scold or drive him away. Stefan entered the ward on the day Renee was leaving the hospital. He quietly helped Renee pack up her things. Generally, a caretaker could do that. However, Stefan acted like he wanted to repent and felt better when he took it upon himself. "Do you still need this?" Stefan pointed at a Lotso bear toy at the head of the bed and asked Renee calmly.During the one-week hospitalization, Renee got bored. Stefan would give her some blind boxes as entertainment. Renee found Rubik's cubes, stickers, and keychains when she opened the boxes. She would always throw them away because she was not interested in them. When she unpacked a rather large Lotso bear toy, she became

    Jovan had kidnapped Renee, but he risked his life for her though he appeared like a cunning and selfish man. Renee felt that she did not deserve his love. She had wronged both Jovan and Justin, but she could not love them back. On the other hand, the one she wanted to love kept pushing her away cruelly…She slapped herself fiercely. Her action frightened the nurse. "Ms. Everheart, we can talk things out! Why did you hurt yourself? You can't…" "Don't worry. I'll get better and won't harm myself again." Renee was teary and laughed at herself. "I slapped myself because I recalled the things I'd done. I was very stupid, and I wanted to knock some sense into myself." "Okay, I'm glad to hear that." The nurse heaved a sigh of relief, but she was afraid to see Renee keep acting crazily. After she was done bandaging Renee's wound, she left hurriedly.When Stefan saw the nurse exit the ward, he walked in nervously and inquired about Renee. "How she's doing?" "She's already feeling be

    Having said that, Justin turned to leave. He knew that if he stayed, he would only look more of a fool. "Tsk! What a pity!" Jovan watched him leave, shrugging and sighing. "He's sincere and loyal. Too bad he pales in comparison to the scumbag!""Get out!" Renee was overcome with sadness and pushed Jovan away fiercely. "Get out! I don't want to see anyone!" Knowing that she had harmed Justin again, she was filled with guilt. She just wanted to be left alone."Rest well. I'll be with you until you're recovered and discharged from the hospital," Stefan said calmly before exiting the ward.In a while, a nurse came to tend to the bandages that Renee had removed. She advised Renee, "Ms. Everheart, you have to be careful. You're weak now. You can't get angry, or it might be life-threatening.""I don't care. My life is so messy, I'd rather die."Thinking of the recent events and the men around her, a severe headache hit her. She wanted to keep being unconscious."Please don't say tha

    "Do you still want to marry me?" Justin asked Renee."I…" Renee could talk nonsense with Jovan, but she couldn't joke with Justin. She had harmed him many times and couldn't keep hurting him. Honestly, she didn't want to marry him or anyone else. She did not want to rely on anyone. She knew she could rely on a man and lead a steady life if there was love. But without love, it would be very hard to rely on a man.However, she knew that Justin liked her and wanted to marry her. If she promised to marry him, the impulsive Jovan would get the staff of the City Hall here. If she turned Justin down at that time, she would harm him again."Fine. You don't have to feel stressed. I know the answer." Justin was no fool. Renee's hesitation told him what she wanted. "When I begged you to marry me, you forced yourself to say yes. You just wanted to repay me for saving your life.""No, you're wrong!" Seeing Justin hurt pained her more than when she was hurt. She hurriedly explained, "I reall

    "What is it?" Renee looked at Justin curiously.Renee, Stefan, and Jovan were curious about what was on Justin's mind."If my family starts fighting the Hunt family, which side will you take?" Justin went straight to the point. He had been curious about that as he made wild guesses about Renee's mind. Since Renee was right before him, he wanted to get the answer from her before he could give up."Hmph! I thought it was something serious. Why did you make it sound that serious…" Jovan burst into laughter, finding Justin a loyal man. "Isn't that obvious? If she wants to take your side, you guys would be married by now. There wouldn't be so many shitty things either!""Shut up, Jovan!" Renee glared at Jovan. If she was stronger, she would beat him up. She said coldly, "Did you forget how you took me away?""Yes, I used some cunning means to take you away, but let's be frank. If I didn't come that day, would you marry him?"Jovan had long gotten used to Renee's fierceness. On the c

    Similarly, Renee used an iron wire to cut her wrist just to meet Stefan."Am I right? You did so many things just to see him. Now you finally met him. Are you happy and satisfied now? But you look worse than before." Jovan teased Renee. He found her pitiful, but at the same time, he felt that it served her right. It seemed everybody was a joke in their romance with others. Only those who never loved could be at the top of the food chain. They would laugh at those who gave up their hearts to others and could not understand those people's bizarre actions."Stop gloating. It's none of your business! Let go of me, or I'll make you feel sorry for yourself."Renee had just escaped death and was weak. Had it not been for that, Jovan wouldn't be able to stop her or watch her make a fool of herself. Still, she would be fine with losing blood again just to torment him if he kept on talking nonsense. Then, he would watch his tongue."Tell me, Phoenix. Is he telling the truth?" Justin

    The loud noises in the ward naturally alerted Justin and Jovan."What's going on?" Justin became very nervous and kicked the door of the ward open. He saw that Renee had woken up and was crazily tearing at the bandages."Uh…" Justin was struck dumb. He had thought of the possibility of Stefan waking Renee up, but he did not expect it to be that effective. Renee ended up becoming a maniac who had lost control of herself. "You're awake?" Jovan was stunned too. He instantly understood the whole incident and gave Renee a thumbs-up. "You're great!"Renee looked coldly at them and ordered them, "Get out, you two! I haven't settled things with him!" Although she was fine with the way they regarded her, she did not want them to see her as a maniac. Besides, their presence would affect her and stop her from being crazy."I won't get out."Jovan turned Renee down. He rushed over and hugged her, stopping her from hurting herself."What are you doing? Let go of me!"Renee was still ha

    After a long pause, Stefan finally admitted honestly, "That wasn't a lie." He turned to look at Renee. He knew what he had to do, and heaved a long sigh."But life isn't just about love.""Why not?" Renee became teary as she stared at him like a child who failed to get what she wanted. "To me, that's already enough. As long as we love each other, we can conquer everything. Without love, it'll be hopeless.""If loving each other is already enough, there wouldn't be the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. Didn't they love each other deeply? They loved each other a lot, but they ended up dead!" Stefan shot back.He could not stop himself from getting impulsive. Heartbroken, he turned around to look into Renee's eyes. "Compared to love, I'd rather you lead a steady and happy life. But I'm not the one who can give you that. I'll only bring you pain and death!""Romeo and Juliet?" Renee found that preposterous and bizarre. "What a lousy excuse! Did I kill your parents, or did you kill my p
