Psychological treatment?

Hearing these words, Renee, who had actually awakened, chose to keep pretending to sleep.

Had her earlier act of mental illness scared Chris?

Wouldn't she know if she'd had psychological treatment?

She'd never seen a therapist.

She wanted to hear what else Chris would say.

In the room, Carl's eyes darkened like storm clouds.

"She hasn't. If she had, her mother wouldn't have hidden it from my second brother."

"That's strange," Chris rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "When she had psychological reactions to Calvin Henderson, then stress-induced blindness, something felt off. I discussed her symptoms with a colleague who concluded she must have had treatment before, which is why she could self-regulate even during stress reactions."

"What do you mean?" Carl's expression changed.

"I mean... Calvin might not be the original trigger for her stress response. He may have accidentally hit some deeper trigger, causing such intense reactions."

"Impossible," Carl de

    His hand suddenly gripped the back of her head as he claimed her lips aggressively."Ouch... mm!"It hurt!Renee instinctively parted her lips, giving him the opening he wanted.He stared at her, dark eyes burning with desire and a hint of madness.Renee hit him several times, but he barely noticed, letting her vent.Finally, he pressed her into the bed, his tall frame looming over her, his strength leaving her helpless.After a moment, Carl released her, burying his face in her neck. His uneven breath stirred her hair, leaving burning heat against her ear.He said hoarsely, "I'm going on a business trip. Stay away from the Grey house for now."Renee's heart jumped, unsure if this was a warning or concern, but she nodded."Your mother's waiting downstairs. Go."He released her and straightened his clothes.Renee quickly jumped off the bed and ran out without looking back.Jackson peeked into the room."Mr. Grey, why did she run away again?""Mind your own business," Carl

    "You..." Annie gritted her teeth.She never imagined being blackmailed by a gutter rat like Wendy.Wendy chuckled, "Miss Simmons, don't try anything. I've got nothing to lose. If I die, I'm taking someone down with me."Annie clenched her fists. She wasn't afraid of trained dogs, but street dogs that might bite without warning were dangerous.She took a deep breath. "I'll transfer the money right away.""Thank you, Miss Simmons."Wendy hung up laughing.Annie stared at her phone, knowing this leech's appetite would only grow.All Renee's fault!Without her, Wendy would never dare treat her this way!Just then, Connor messaged her."Baby, free tonight?"Annie almost said no, but suddenly a plan formed."Yes, but... I need you to do something for me.""What wouldn't I do for you? My life is yours!"...Next morning, Renee took a taxi to the airport.Fifteen minutes later, Mandy and Annie arrived one after another.After some instructions, Mandy led them onto the plane.

    As Renee turned to head back to her seat, the man in the next seat “accidentally” brushed her with his leg. Finally, she couldn’t hold back. “Sir, if you’re ‘accidentally’ clumsy one more time, I might just ‘accidentally’ get us turned back mid-flight.”Instead of getting upset, the man chuckled, seemingly amused. “Fiery, huh? Has anyone told you you're even more attractive when you're mad?”“Oh, I’ll show you ‘attractive’...” Renee was ready to plant her heel firmly on his foot when a flight attendant walked up.“Excuse me, Miss Lacey?” the attendant asked.“Yes?” Renee set her heel back down.“Your colleague asked for you. Would you mind coming up front?” the attendant motioned ahead.Assuming it was her friend Mandy calling her, Renee quickly grabbed her bag and followed the attendant. But to her surprise, the attendant led her to the first-class cabin, where Jackson was waving her over. “Miss Lacey, over here!”Renee blinked, suddenly realizing what was happening, and tried

    Renee followed Carl's gaze and realized her sweater was caught on his belt. Just a slight movement would tug her sweater up, exposing more than she wanted. Panicking, she tried to unhook it herself, but in the process, her hand brushed against something it shouldn’t have.Before she could react, Carl’s hand gripped her wrist. His jaw tightened, his gaze intense, like a restrained predator. His voice was a low warning: "Don’t move."Renee, noticing the change in his expression, froze, her eyes widening as a hint of sweat broke on her brow. She muttered, "My sweater…”Then came an audible click—the belt buckle had come undone.“Mr. Grey…” Jackson’s voice interrupted as he entered with urgent documents, only to see the scene unfold. He quickly turned away, stammering, “I saw nothing. I’ll come back later.” With that, Jackson hastily retreated.Renee wanted to vanish on the spot, but the more she tried to free herself, the more entangled she became. Her nervous fumbling even managed t

    This was just another move in his plan to gain control of the mining operation.So he watched her seek out Nancy Larson, allowed Nancy to torment her, and then sat back like a spectator to reap the benefits.In that moment, Renee felt as if thousands of needles were piercing her heart. Something seemed to block her throat, and a suffocating feeling took hold of her body.After Jackson left, Renee quietly returned to her seat.Just as she sat down, a flight attendant brought food, but she had no appetite."I'm not hungry. Just bring me some alcohol."The flight attendant hesitated, glancing at Carl beside her.Carl looked up at her with cold eyes. "Drinking on an empty stomach?"Renee stared out the window, avoiding his gaze. "It won't kill me."Carl waved the flight attendant away, refusing to let them bring Renee any alcohol.Showing unusual patience, he pointed at the food on the table. "Eat something first. It's almost time for your medicine."Getting water in your lungs

    Jackson returned to Carl's side and spoke quietly, "Sir, Miss Lacey left on her own."Carl paused for a few seconds. "Have someone watch her.""Yes. And..." Jackson leaned closer to whisper something in his ear.Carl responded with a noncommittal hum.He walked over to Annie, reached up to take her bag from the overhead compartment, and draped his jacket over her shoulders."Brookshire is colder than the capital.""Mm-hmm."Annie looked bashful, her eyes full of warmth.Other passengers watched them enviously....After collecting her luggage, Renee found Mandy.Mandy was alone."Annie isn't coming with us.""I know."Renee had expected this.Just then, a commotion broke out nearby.Carl walked through the airport holding Annie's hand, causing a scene similar to a celebrity sighting.Annie glanced at Renee, pulling Carl's jacket tighter and burying half her face in the collar.Her visible eyes were full of triumph.As for Carl, he hadn't noticed Renee. He was focused

    Michael looked up, his eyes saying everything.The butler hesitated briefly before bowing in acknowledgment....Evening.Renee changed into modest attire with minimal makeup, aiming for an understated, clean look.After all, as Mandy's employee, she couldn't outshine others.Before leaving, she noticed a trending topic on her phone."Carl Grey and Annie Simmons: An Afternoon of Romance."The title alone told her everything she needed to know.She swiped past it, clicked "ignore," then calmly put on her heels and left the room.She met Mandy in the elevator.Mandy wore a jumpsuit with layered pearl necklaces at the V-neck, looking both elegant and professional.She glanced at Renee. "You didn't have to dress so plainly."Renee smiled. "I like it this way."Seeing her smile, Mandy seemed startled but held back her questions.Checking the time, Mandy complained, "Where's Annie? She was the most eager before we came, now she's nowhere to be seen."Just then, Annie appeared

    The dinner location had been changed to a more upscale restaurant with better privacy.The entrance alone exuded luxury and opulence.Inside the private room, the long table was elegantly decorated.Mandy exchanged cheek kisses with several foreign guests before taking her seat graciously.Renee followed quietly behind. After just a few steps, a tall figure blocked her path."Hello, miss."Renee looked up to find Mark, one of her favorite Italian designers.Mark - a traditional biblical name common in Italy.Though his designs were innovative and striking.He was known for crediting his muse for his inspiration.Presumably a man devoted to love.Renee was honored when he greeted her, but before she could extend her hand, he embraced her.As his hands slid from her shoulders down her back, she tensed uncomfortably.Thinking it was just cultural differences, she didn't resist.But when he leaned in for a cheek kiss, she instinctively raised her hand to stop him.Fortunatel

    Hospital room.When Renee woke, Carl was gone.After regaining some strength, she got up for water and noticed movement at the door."Who's there?" she called out.The door creaked open slightly, and Jack's head peeked in."Miss!""Behave," his mother pulled him back, stepping inside. "Miss, thank you so much. I made some food - I hope you don't mind.""Of course not! Thank you, I'm actually hungry," Renee smiled, not wanting to refuse.The mother poured chicken and mushroom soup from a thermos and offered two flatbreads.She carefully packed away the remaining food.Renee asked curiously, "Ma'am, what's that for?""Jack's father is in intensive care. Every bite counts," she replied, eyes welling up.Renee thought for a moment. "Was Jack being thrown in the river connected to his father?"Struck by the truth, tears rolled down the mother's cheeks."Those monsters! They made their own mistakes and now force us to sign papers.""Who are you talking about?""It's..." she b

    Looking into her eyes, he struggled to hold back his urges.Even her hair falling across his nose tested his restraint.Before Renee could react, he brushed his lips against hers, light as a feather.In an instant, his hand moved from her neck to cradle her head, deepening the kiss possessively.The moment was brief, his clenched fist beside her ear betraying his restraint - she could hear his knuckles crack with tension.Carl stared at her. "Renee, you're something else."Renee didn't understand.He didn't give her a chance to ask, pulling her under the covers."Get some more sleep."After a few futile attempts to move away, she gave up and closed her eyes....Outside.Annie gripped the doorknob, trembling with rage as she watched them sleep embraced.Unable to bring herself to open the door, she turned away, swallowing her anger.At the elevator, a hand covered her mouth, dragging her into the stairwell.In a blur, a man kissed her roughly, breathing heavily.He rele

    Renee grabbed Jack's hand just as he began to sink.His little face had turned ghostly white with fear."Don't be scared, I've got you."Renee soothed him while supporting his chin.Though only six or seven, he felt heavy, especially with his water-logged clothes. Even as an adult, she struggled.Fortunately, her light dress allowed her arms to move freely.Despite the cold, she gritted her teeth and pushed through.Renee finally managed to swim to the bank with the child, where his mother reached out tearfully."Miss, give me your hand!""Take the child first."Renee felt her strength failing, unsure how much longer she could hold him.His mother thanked her repeatedly while pulling her frozen child to safety.As she reached back for Renee, a thick branch suddenly floated downstream, striking Renee's shoulder.She grunted in pain, her numbed arm releasing the mother's hand as the branch swept her into the current."Miss! Help!" the mother screamed from the bank.Renee s

    As Chris said, most people her age operated at 90% energy levels.She barely managed half.He'd even warned her to preserve what little she had.Perhaps this was the cost of her second chance at life.Renee composed herself, trying to stay focused.Carl gestured forward. "Let's move ahead.""Excellent choice, Mr. Grey. Our rare gemstone collection is there," Mr. Declan said eagerly.Carl nodded, walking past Renee.Suddenly, something warm pressed into her palm, startling her.When the others passed, she opened her hand.A pink hand warmer, about the size of her palm.Why would Carl carry something like this?"Renee." Mr. Declan called from ahead."Coming."Renee clutched the warmer and hurried to catch up.The gemstone gallery was dimly lit, with only display spotlights illuminating the cases, leaving everyone in shadows.Renee stood at the edge, politely applauding Mr. Declan's presentation.Through the shifting crowd, a cool presence approached, warm breath at her

    Meanwhile.Mandy stood with Mr. Declan waiting for VIP guests, checking her phone three times without reaching Renee."Miss Xander, where's Renee? Wasn't she joining us?" Mr. Declan asked.Mandy smiled awkwardly. "She..."Suddenly, Annie appeared, positioning herself beside Mr. Declan."Renee said she wasn't feeling well and won't come."Mr. Declan frowned but said nothing, tacitly accepting Annie's presence.Though being stood up by a newcomer clearly displeased him.Annie smirked triumphantly.Just then, Renee's voice came from behind."Who said I wasn't coming?"The crowd parted as Renee appeared in a red high-slit gown, like a flame burning into everyone's vision.The shimmering fabric made her skin look like snow.Uniquely adorned with wide mesh overlay and scattered crystals.Her eyes peeked through, utterly enchanting.Annie's smile twitched.Renee smiled at her. "Miss Simmons, you must have misheard. I said I was coming right over."She edged Annie aside and tu

    Luckily, Renee spotted Annie's movement in the mirror and dodged just in time.But Annie grabbed her shoulder strap and slashed.Click, click...Pearls scattered across the floor.The dress, held up by the straps, began to slip.Renee clutched her chest and stumbled backward.Annie lifted her chin proudly, smirking as she tossed the razor in the trash, then switched to a shocked expression."Oh my! Renee, how clumsy! You can't be seen like this. Better rest - don't embarrass Miss Xander. I'll take your place with Mr. Declan."With a raised eyebrow, she walked out smiling.Clutching her dress, Renee realized Annie hadn't meant to hurt her - just ruin her dress to humiliate her.She quickly crouched to gather the pearls, hoping to salvage the situation.But the building was historic, with original stone flooring - many pearls had disappeared into the cracks.She found barely a dozen, not enough for one strap.Hearing footsteps, Renee hurried out, holding her dress.She need

    During the drive, Renee noticeably relaxed, feeling those watchful eyes no longer on her.The jewelry exhibition was held in a century-old cultural center on the outskirts of town, perfectly preserved inside and out.To maintain the building's historic charm, they'd skipped the red carpet. Even the press conference was held in an open courtyard.Everyone shivered in the cold while maintaining elegant smiles.Mandy joked it was "suffering for art," though everyone had secretly plastered heat packs under their formal wear.After the press conference, they moved into the warm interior.The theme was "Culture and Nature."Creative pieces lined the entrance.Beyond the standard luxury display cases, jewelry took various artistic forms.Gradient gemstone leaves and flowers, a spectacular diamond necklace designed like fireworks, and jewelry butterflies suspended on fishing lines.As Renee admired the displays, Mandy's voice brought her back.Mandy introduced a man to her and Annie

    "Renee, the street food market's near the hotel. You should try the local dishes.”Renee completely lost her appetite.So Carl had gone out late at night to gather food for Annie?And stayed in her room to avoid giving his cold to delicate Annie?Renee found it laughable, yet this was exactly what Carl would do for Annie in her past life.She put down her half-eaten toast and gulped down milk."Miss Xander, I'm full. I'll go prepare for later.""Yes. I should go too - the stylist will arrive soon."Mandy also didn't want to hear Annie's chatter.As they left, Annie smiled behind her coffee cup.At the restaurant entrance, Renee ran into Carl entering with two middle-aged men.They briefly locked eyes before Renee turned away without a second glance.Annie's sweet voice drifted after them."Carl, you're here. I'm not very hungry, but I'll keep you company?""Mm."Carl put his arm around Annie and left with the men....Back in her room.Renee found the AC fixed, the ro

    Carl gazed at Renee with dark eyes, like a predator ready to strike.Her breath caught. Her fair skin, flushed from the hot shower, had a rosy tint.Her misty eyes held an alluring gleam.He leaned down slowly, less demanding than usual, almost cautious.Renee stared back, mind blank, forgetting to resist.But just as Carl drew near, her nose twitched, and clarity returned.She pushed him away and turned, sneezing."Achoo!"After sneezing, Renee grabbed a tissue to wipe her nose.When she discarded it, she felt warmth - Carl had covered her with a blanket.Carl lay back, eyes closed, his voice husky. "Sleep."Renee rubbed her nose, curling up carefully at the edge of the bed.She'd make do for now - after such an eventful day, she had no energy left.Renee fell asleep almost instantly, but it was too cold.Especially with the warmth radiating from behind her while her side of the bed remained chilly.The contrast made for restless sleep.As she drifted uncomfortably, a
