Chapter 355

Autor: Sequora
Candy quickly took Renee's hand and guided her to sit beside Jasper. "Welcome back! Come, sit!"

"No, I'll sit over there," Renee said, really reluctant to sit with Jasper.

Candy was just about to let her when she turned and saw Jasper's threatening glare.

She flinched and promptly pressed Renee by the shoulders, making her sit beside Jasper. "Let's stick with our old seats."

Still, the kiss was fresh in Renee's mind, and she was afraid to even look at Jasper and kept her head down in silence.

Nonetheless, the truth or dare game continued, and it was eventually Renee's turn again.

She spun the bottle and held it down to stop it when it pointed at Jasper.

Everyone looked up at her in bemusement, while Renee herself had turned to Jasper. "Where's Ben Carter?"

Jasper had his legs crossed while resting his cheek against one hand.

There was a hint of adoration in his sharp gaze, while his lips curled upward slightly.

With his thick lashes, those bright eyes were even more alluring

    Renee had a hunch that Alison was in trouble, but since it was her family's matter, she had no way of intervening even if she wanted to.Completely out of options, she texted Jasper: [Allie's phone has been switched off. Please take care of her for me. I'm going back to Harborview City.]Quincy loathed her to the bone and would never let her visit Alison, so it was pointless to stay in Jormund.Instead of staying here and waiting, she should just go back for now.Jasper's reply was instantaneous: [Okay. Safe travels.]Renee didn't answer even though she read it.-Zeller Mansion was designed with a fusion of new and traditional designs and was as luxurious as it was majestic.For the average person, it was like a king's palace they could never set foot in.But for Alison, it was a prison, and she fled to Harborview City, far away from Jormund, just to escape such a suffocating place.Everyone always said that one was set for life from being born rich.However, she also consi

    Her index finger tapping on the table, Quincy said, "As you know, Jasper is the heir to the Zeller family fortune. It's only fitting for him to marry a daughter of an equally important family."For some reason, Renee felt offended for once.Her usual mild-manners fading, she shot back, "Like Yvie Irwin?""Of course," Quincy replied, her eyes glowing with admiration. "She has a mind for commerce and has proven to be Jasper's best assistant—with her, the family would only rise to new heights. And she comes from a good family, making her the perfect match for Jasper."Renee frowned ever so slightly in confusion.Did Quincy just say that Yvie came from a good family?Renee could see that someone like Quincy would never allow just anyone to linger around Jasper and would investigate them first thing.And if Quincy did investigate Yvie, how could she not find out that Yvie had been married, or that she had dropped out due to her poor family, and it was Renee's father Mark Whitley who

    Renee then entered the tearoom, sitting opposite Quincy.Even though Quincy was the matriarch of the Zeller family and a very important person, Renee had nothing she wanted from her and therefore remained neutral. "Mrs. Zeller."Back when Quincy had met her at Genome Tech's headquarters before and even told her to simply use her first name, Renee knew better than to do that given the circumstances and the mood, just in case Quincy would think that she was trying to get chummy with her.Quincy then poured her a cup of tea and slid it right in front of her. "I'm sorry you had to be in that hospital room—I hope you won't hold it against me. I'm sure you understand that Alison is my only daughter and it's hard for me to accept something like this.""I understand." Renee smiled in turn, picking up her tea for a sip. "If you don't mind, can you go straight to the point? I've booked a flight back to Harborview City this afternoon, so I'm pressed for time.""Haha… Well, I will be blunt,"

    Alison nodded. "Yeah, you should go."She really wanted Renee's company but could also see that Renee would suffer if she stayed and didn't stop her.Renee smiled tenderly at her. "Get some rest," Renee told Alison, and passing the couch on the way out, she told Quincy politely, "Goodbye, Mrs. Zeller."Quincy neither answered nor looked at her, but Renee wasn't counting on it.Stepping out into the hallway, she saw Jasper at the other end of the hallway, making calls.It was natural for the head of a major company like him to answer over dozens of calls a day, so she didn't bother him.She headed to the nurse's station to give the nurse a quick rundown on Alison's situation, asking for fresh bandages, and took the elevator downstairs, leaving the hospital.As for Jasper, he returned to Alison's hospital room after finishing his call, only to realize that Renee was already gone.Seeing Alison sitting up against the head board, her cheeks swelling and covered in two palm prints

    Quincy bellowed, "I'm your mother!""And I've not taken money from you since high school!" Alison retorted stubbornly. "You can't stop me before, so you're not stopping me now! No one gets to decide who I marry—not you, not Daddy!""I dare you to say that again!""I'll say it a thousand more times! No one gets to decide who I marry!"Smack!Quincy slapped Alison across the face again just as finished.Standing nearby, Renee could clearly see how violent the slap was and Alison being knocked back into the bed.This time, the needle attached to Alison's hand was ripped off, and she was bleeding rapidly, dyeing her sheets red.As Alison clutched her cheek and wiped the tears off her face, her blood and tears mixed and left her usually fair face red.It was definitely a gruesome sight.Even Nana's eyes widened in shock, her heart pounding but still remaining motionless on the couch.She really regretted telling Quincy, seeing how violent she was.And now, both Jasper and Alison

    Quincy snorted coldly. "Hmph. More like you're trying to give me a heart attack."As she strode past the bench, she shot Renee a sharp glare.It just happened that Quincy was staring at her too, and she felt a chill down her spine from that creepy glare.Sitting down on the bench, Quincy pressed, "Who's the boyfriend?""Just an average Joe," Jasper lied.That was when Quincy's phone rang."Tell me," she answered after seeing the number.They had no idea what was said on the other end, but Quincy's face turned frighteningly dark.As she hung up, she was glaring at Renee, her gaze overflowing with disdain.Renee was bemused but silent, and there was nary a sound down the hallway.-After the surgery, Alison was wheeled into a ward after being hooked on an IV.Soon, she woke up, staring blankly at the white ceiling before realizing she was in the hospital and sat up."Renee…" She called out, knowing that Renee would definitely be there with her.That was when she turned an
