Chapter 996

Author: Mizuki Sei
"Does that mean you like Xavier?"

"That's not the only relationship a man and a woman could have, you know…" Not intending to stall any longer, Renee told her everything.

"Basically, my friend likes him, and I think he's fallen for her too. But he's just acting so weird! He likes her, but he doesn't dare to make a move."

"So I was wondering if he has some kind of unresolved issues and if it has anything to do with you."

"Fell for your friend?"

A glimpse of jealousy flashed within Shirley's gorgeous eyes for a split second. She then let out a cold chuckle. "I think your friend must have been assuming things. Xavier loves me very much, and he'd never move on so easily.

"I did reject him in the past, but something happened later on, and it helped me confirm my feelings towards him. That's why I've decided to be with him. So I'm guessing he rejected your friend because of this."

"R… Really?" Renee was dejected after hearing this. After all, everyone knew just how head over heels Xa

    As Renee headed towards the parking lot, she found her head heavy, and she was feeling more disoriented the more she walked."Alright, everyone, get in position! And… action!" Behind her was the director giving orders, followed by the sound of the clapperboard.Shirley had already left the waiting area by then, and she now stood by the cliff for yet another shoot.Amongst her dizziness, she noticed Shirley's long hair and white dress. It was rather odd, but she found her looking quite similar to Briar, who she accidentally pushed down this cliff three months ago.Shirley and Briar's faces started merging into one, passing through the group of staff with an eerie smile. She was staring straight at her as blood started dripping out of the corners of her eyes and mouth…"Ah! No! Don't come near me!" Renee screamed as she blacked out, falling straight to the ground.After some time, as she regained consciousness slightly, she felt a bucket of ice-cold water poured onto her face.S

    Francine stayed silent, not denying these allegations. Renee had always been a smart woman, which was why she admired her to begin with."Hah, well, I can't blame anyone but myself for this. I was fooled by Star Actress Shirley's innocent demeanor. As expected from her, I suppose, her acting skills are immaculate." Renee gave a thumbs up as she shook her head, smiling sadly."Does that mean you're admitting to all the crimes you have committed?" Francine asked as she tightened her grasp on the railing, her entire body trembling."What crimes?" Renee lifted her head and stared straight at Francine with her usual thorny attitude."What do you think? Do you feel no regret for what your demented brother has done to Stef and Seraphina? He ruined their lives!""You can insult me, but don't you dare insult my brother. I was the one who made the decision to lure Stefan Hunt into the trap. So I'll take full responsibility for what happened."Renee could guess that her brother had definite

    There wasn't even the slightest hint of fear shown on Renee's face. She even burst out laughing, as though she wasn't being held captive."You bitch. How could you laugh in the face of death?!" Seraphina fumed, slapping Renee across the face as hard as she could. "What's so funny, huh? Are you not scared?!"A red slap mark slowly appeared on Renee's fair skin, with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. It seemed quite painful, yet she didn't even furrow her brows. Instead, the woman continued laughing loudly. "Hahaha, I'm laughing because of your stupidity. You're the one staring in the face of death, yet you still act like you have the upper hand! Isn't that hilarious?""You… What do you mean by that?! I'm doing just fine! How dare you curse me?!" Seraphina was actually feeling quite guilty from the start, and hearing Renee's words took her aback. Despite this, she still intended to slap Renee once more, but it was no match for the woman's great reflexes. She kicked her

    "Like I said, there's no use putting up an act at this point! I will never forgive you, no matter how much you pretend to be innocent! You can never undo the damage you've done to me. I will only find peace by making you suffer a hundred times worse than I have!" Seraphina yelled. She then clapped her hands and turned her head to the door. "You may come in." After that, several rows of burly men, an estimated hundred in total, walked through the entrance. They were all wearing the same clothing and were mostly tanned. Their expressions were rather fierce, and they looked like foreigners. "What are you doing?" Renee asked Seraphina frostily."You're a smart woman. How could you possibly not know what I'm trying to do here?" Seraphina patted the tall man next to her, her smile twisted. "I specifically found these guys from a countryside far, far away, just for you.""They're very rugged, you know? They have more than enough stamina to satisfy you. I'm sure you'd die happy even if

    "Wait!" Seraphina suddenly called out to the man and took her phone camera out, smiling. "A lovely scene like this should be recorded and shown to the public! Everyone will get to enjoy this over and over again on the internet.""I pity you, Seraphina, but you sure aren't a weakling. Color me impressed!" Renee had given up at this point.She merely regretted not being able to leave a proper will to her friends and family. 'I probably won't be able to rest in peace if I die such a sudden death.'"Looks to me you're still resisting. Well, I could tell you one more thing…" Seraphina said slowly as she captured Renee's embarrassing state. "Do you know why Stef suddenly broke up with you out of nowhere, even though your relationship was going really well? And why he chose to be with me instead?"Renee scoffed, finding this quite woeful. "How insecure do you have to be to show off your amazing love story at this moment? Why else would he do that? Isn't it all because you are childhood

    "Hahaha, thank me?" Seraphina shook her head, laughing coldly. "I'm not a good person, Renee Everheart. I only told you this, so you realize how horrible you've been. You missed out on such a great man. And now… he's mine. I'll be the one to take care of him. I'll be the one to support him. All he needs is me now.""I'll thank you again in advance then. Please take good care of him for me, and support him well. When I was with him, we were quite a disaster. It's like we're oil and water or something." Renee said, genuinely wishing Seraphina and Stefan well.She found Seraphina's love towards the man was purer, deeper, and unwavering than hers. If this was truly where her life ended, she figured that Seraphina was the best candidate as Stefan's future lover."Hmph, don't act all nice now. No matter how selfless you pretend to be, I won't go easy on you. I've said all I wanted to say. Everyone, get on with it now!" Seraphina ordered. She seemed perturbed and didn't want to stay at t

    Renee had no doubt escaped from this deadly experience. However, she didn't intend to seek revenge on Seraphina after this, as she found her experience extremely pitiful. She knew that her brother was completely in the wrong for making that call, and she decided to find a way to make it up to Seraphina. She owed her at least that much.As for Stefan… She realized that she needed to part ways with him properly. Even if they weren't together now, they didn't have to leave any regrets between each other. Moreover, it would be much better if they could look back on their memories fondly. "Let go of me, Renee! You bitch! Fight me head-on instead!" Seraphina struggled and screamed hysterically, being the one tied to a pillar in the warehouse this time."Don't panic. This'll be just temporary. Once I'm done handling my business, I'll have someone release you," Renee said calmly, trying her best to comfort Seraphina. "I know I have wronged you, but I will make it up to you no matter what

    "I'm not tired. You should go to bed first, don't mind me," Stefan hoarsely replied in a weak, unmotivated tone."What's the point of staying here and giving yourself a cold? You should go back to your room and warm up.""I'd like some time alone.""But you…" Francine let out a long sigh. "That woman made you this way. Please don't tell me you're still hung up on her."Stefan remained silent."Oh Stef, don't be like this. I'm your mother, and I know my son best. You may be perfect in every way, but you're still a victim to love. If it weren't for that woman, your life would've been smooth sailing, and you wouldn't have ended up…""Mom, I told you. I want some time alone." The man, sounding slightly aggrieved, balled up his fists gently."Alright, I… I'll leave you alone. Just… ring the bell if you need anything." Francine didn't say anything else and wiped away her tears, leaving the backyard quietly.Renee, on the other hand, hid herself quite well, which was why no one notice

    Alexander took a deep breath and analyzed logically, "This wasn't Stef's style. If he wanted to snatch her away, he would have done it openly in front of everyone. But this trick was cunning and dishonest!""Yes, you're right, but this is a special case. If he didn't use a trick, his woman would marry someone else. It's normal for him to be restless." Although Francine agreed with Alexander's analysis, she felt that Stefan could do anything if it concerned Renee. Naturally, he would stoop this far. "Regardless, we have to leave," Alexander whispered to Francine, sensing danger. "Austin has always been decisive and cruel. Since Stef humiliated him, I'm sure he wouldn't let Stef off easily. We're in danger too.""Is it that serious?" Francine looked at Austin, who was standing on the stage. He coldly ordered his assistant about something. It seemed like he wasn't that crazy. "I don't care what he'll do. We have to get out of North City right away because this city is controlled b

    "What?! She's gone?" Justin's face fell immediately. He grabbed the collar of the person who came to inform them and demanded coldly, "What do you mean?! Why is she gone for no reason?""We… We don't know!" That person looked at Justin while trembling and reported everything. "When we got there, we found no one else in the makeup room except the makeup artist lying on the ground. We didn't see Ms. Everheart, either. We don't know what happened!""Something must have gone wrong with her!" Justin pushed that person away without hesitation and rushed toward the makeup room."Hey, Justin! What are you doing?" Sophia watched Justin disappear in front of everyone. She wanted to pursue him but failed.Everyone below the stage fell into an uproar and discussed among themselves endlessly. "The bride went missing all of a sudden! Did her ex-husband come for her?""It's possible. They were once madly in love with each other. Plus, the Hunt and Baldwin families were in conflict for many yea

    On the surface, everyone felt that Justin was passionate and respected the bride well. However, only he knew that he was just terrified. He was afraid that the reality might exceed his anticipation. He was terrified to find that he was betrayed in the end when he had trusted Renee that much and treated her so sincerely."Justin, what's going on with you? How could you talk about that at such a time like this? The most important thing now is to make her come out and have this engagement ceremony. We should do the guests justice. If not, everyone will laugh at us after we've kept our dignity well for so many years!"Sophia couldn't understand his hesitation. They were just going to urge Renee to appear. It had nothing to do with their patience or ability to take good care of Renee.Both Alexander and Francine looked at each other in confusion."Dear, did you do anything?" Alexander asked Francine softly.If Renee suddenly failed to attend the ceremony, it might have been Francin

    Renee was furious—he was ridiculous!"You won't allow that?" She snorted and looked at him as if he were crazy. "Who do you think you are? You can't meddle in my life!""I'm nobody, but I know that I don't want you to marry another guy." The man approached Renee, wanting to catch her."Stay away from me, or I'll get somebody! You should know how powerful the Baldwin family is in North City…" Renee spat coldly. She did not want to make things too ghastly, so she wouldn't alert the Baldwin family if she could help it. The man sneered wickedly. "Yes, the Baldwin family is strong. So? Even if they're strong, they can't fight against my cunning means!""What do you mean?" A bad feeling gripped Renee. She wanted to ask more questions, but found herself dizzy. Her surroundings became blurry. "I'm so dizzy! What…did you do?" The next second, she staggered and fainted.He firmly caught her and whispered, "You've suffered a lot, so I'll let you rest a bit.""Ah! You… You…" The make

    "You flatter me." Renee smiled, sadness in her eyes. She recalled the day she was about to marry Stefan many years ago. The young female designer responsible for her makeup had praised her the same way. At that time, she had recently lost all her family members and was gripped with excruciating pain. Her waist had been much slimmer. She looked pitiful but bewitching. "Don't worry! Master Hunt is a great man. He'll be nice to you and protect you. You guys are a perfect match."Renee remembered that the makeup artist used a makeup blender to soak her tears and firmly told her that. The artist at that time also felt that Stefan would be her protector for the rest of her life. Renee had a crush on Stefan for many years. He was the ray of light that had saved her from her despair. Although she was strong, she couldn't help but regard him as her savior. At that time, she never imagined spending the rest of her life with someone else other than him. Many years passed since then.

    Twenty minutes ago, Renee's gown was accidentally splashed with wine. Hence, she changed into a spare slim-fit strapless gown. The long gown reached to the floor and was full of shining diamonds. It set off her curvy figure and made her appear like a noble princess from a painting. Unfortunately, her waist was too slim, so the gown didn't fit her well.The young woman who was responsible for Renee's makeup patted her chest and said confidently, "It's fine. I'll tighten the waistline a bit. Leave it to me! I'll get it done in ten minutes.""Are you sure?" Justin couldn't hide his amazement as he watched Renee, who had changed into a new gown. He cleared his throat and said, "I think this is already perfect. It's fine even if you don't adjust the waistline."He felt that Renee was the most perfect woman no matter how she appeared. She would always bewitch him, even if she was just wearing slippers and casual coats.If his parents hadn't insisted on getting a renowned designer t

    Liam looked certain. "The Baldwin residence is strictly guarded. Plus, Austin owns military power. If the Hunt family wants to take Renee away, they'll have to fight the Baldwins. Things will get very hideous. But if they use a little trick, they don't have to waste any manpower to take her away. Why wouldn't they do that?""So, you're saying that Mr. and Mrs. Hunt fought against Justin's parents to purposely attract others' attention and to cover for Stefan. They wanted to give him the chance to take Ren away secretly.""That's very likely."Liam nodded. Else, he couldn't figure out why the decent Alexander and Francine would do such an indecent thing in front of so many rich and powerful people. After all, the Hunts would be ridiculed for what they had done just now if it got exposed. It was such a great price. They wouldn't have to make such a great sacrifice if not for their son's lifetime happiness."If that was true, the Hunts are just too cunning." Leia shrugged. She fou

    The spotlight shone on the entrance as everyone looked forward to the prince and princess' entrance.However, only Justin appeared like a charming prince in front of everyone in his white suit. There was no sign of his princess. Austin's initial confident smile stiffened. He flexed his fingers slightly and held himself back as he waited quietly for Justin to get onto the stage. Justin took calm steps. Smiling, he waved and greeted everyone, looking very much like a future bridegroom. When he got on the stage, Austin pulled him over. While lowering his voice, he interrogated coldly, "Why are you alone? Where is Ren?""Don't worry, Grandpa. Ren is the princess. Of course, she has to come last. We're just people who set off her charms. All we need to do is wait for her patiently."Then, Justin held the microphone and faced all the guests below the stage. He cleared his throat and said, "Please calm down, ladies and gentlemen. My future bride's gown is rather grand and needs more

    Austin was telling the truth."Of course, children will always stay with their mothers. Home is wherever their mother is. You'd better ask about Ren's opinion instead of making a scene here."Austin glanced at the gilded ancient clock above the hall, his eyes sharp."The engagement ceremony of my grandson and Ren is about to start in ten minutes. You can ask her opinion when she's here.""Really?"Francine was delightedly surprised. For the first time, she felt that Austin was not as horrible as legend had it. He was reasonable. She tried to reconfirm with him. "So, you're saying that I can ask Ren to come home with me when she's out, and you'll let her go if she says yes?" "No, you're wrong." Austin shook his head. "She came here willingly. Of course, it's not as if you need to ask me to let her go.""It's fine. That's not important as long as you remember what you said." Francine was confident and eager. She then said smugly to Austin and the others, "Wait and see! I have w
