Chapter 401

Author: Sequora
Renee leaned against the wall as he watched Jasper, frowning as she clenched her fists.

After spending a while fuming, she eventually strode up to the bar and took a clean glass, striding over to the living room and sat down, pouring herself a glass of wine.

She finished it with an audible glug and quickly poured herself another as she sat sloppily on the white carpet. "I'm hungry. Buy me food."

Jasper was a little surprised, but he went over to pick up the landline phone to call for room service.

He then sat opposite Renee, watching her in silence as they waited for lunch to be delivered to them upstairs.

Renee held the wine bottle in one hand and her wine glass in the other, chugging two full glasses before finally slowing down with the third.

Eventually, she put down the bottle and looked up at him. "You're actually a good man—I'm lucky to have met you and Alison. I think even giving you my body isn't enough to make up for you saving my life.

"I ran into you with my car the f

    Renee stared at Quinton, intent on gauging his reaction for a lie, but she was soon disappointed.Quint was clearly telling the truth.Resting her palms on Quinton's desk, she frowned slightly at the man and said, "I don't get you."It was the truth, and she could gauge his motives even less so."That's good." Quinton smiled and shrugged. "I'm not as plain as a sheet—wouldn't it make me look dumb if you could see through me so easily?"Renee couldn't deny it, but her phone rang before she could speak.Her expression turned solemn when she saw that it was Martin, and she stepped out to the hallway before answering, "Dad?"Heaven knew how much it hurt her to call Martin 'Dad', but she had no choice but to keep up the act."Where are you? There's something I'd like to discuss," Martin said."I'm in my office. Where are you? I'll head over," Renee replied. "Alright. I'll be waiting at West Coast Cafe."Having decided on a place, Renee picked up her bag from her office and drove

    Pulling away to look at Alison, Renee told her, "That's why we must both do our best.""Yeah, we must." Alison nodded tearfully.-After that, Alison spent the entire morning with Renee, until Renee received a call from Quinton around noon."Yes, Mr. Lane?" she asked, presuming it was about work.Ever since she realized Martin returned with ulterior motives, Renee had lost all interest in work.Revenge was the only thing she wanted, and for that, she wanted to find out who was behind Martin and what his motives were."Did you check the news?" Quinton asked. "I called you right away when I heard—Hal Xavier is being prosecuted for bribery, human trafficking, and public exploitation.""Really? Let me see…"Renee could hardly believe it and promptly hung up to tap on her news app.And just as Quinton said, news of Hal and William's prosecution was trending, and there was solid evidence against them."We've won, Alison!" Renee cried as she hugged Alison. "Xavier can't hurt us any

    On top of that, Renee wasn't sure how to act around Alison now that she knew Jasper was alive, and it made her feel guilty having to hide it from Alison."So what?!" Alison retorted, stamping her feet and shaking her hand off. "Is that more important than you?! Well, fine! Let's never call each other again since you don't think of me as a friend!""Alright, my bad, my bad. Just calm down." Renee quickly apologized, seeing that Alison was about to leave. "Just sit—there's something very important I have to tell you.""What?" Alison paused, turning to shoot her a sideways glare.They had been best friends for over a decade and were no different from twins, and she really wasn't that upset—she just didn't like Renee keeping her in the dark and wanted to get it off her chest."Come here, sit." Renee said, patting her bed."Hmph!" Alison pouted but sat. "Be quick about it. I'll be going right after.""Really?""Or what? It's like I'm not your friend, so why should I stay? So you can

    Caressing Renee's cheek wistfully, Jasper sighed, "I've got to go. Someone's coming."Renee squeezed his palm in turn. "H-How do I reach you?""I'll be there when you need me," he said, once again solemn. "Martin has eyes and ears everywhere. He will catch on if I reach out too many times.""Yeah," Renee replied, standing on her toes to kiss his lips as she could barely contain her excitement. "I'm going to miss you."As the knock became rapid, Jasper wiped her tears and said, "Take care."Then, he went to the balcony and jumped off.Renee watched and made sure he was out of sight before opening the door.It was Martin, who promptly strode into the room, searching every corner of the room while Renee watched."What took you so long? I thought you were hurt," he eventually said.Renee rubbed her temples. "I need to sleep, and there are plenty of guests to meet later."It was the truth as she hadn't slept for 24 hours.Martin was worried to see her health decline. "My condolen

    Renee sniffed, her tears raining as her eyes met Jasper's.Springing to her feet and throwing her arms around his neck, she breathed, "I knew it—you're alive!"Jasper held her in turn, clearly feeling how much weight she'd lost despite her down jacket."Sorry for worrying you." He released her and kissed her hair, his thumbs wiping her tears. "I'm sorry. I didn't think Martin would come after your mother that soon."Renee shook her head as she studied Jasper from head to toe."It's not your fault… And it's good to have you back," she said and gave him a punch in his chest. "You're such a jerk! You're only showing up now? Did you know how worried I was?"Jasper smiled, letting her punch him all she wanted while replying, "Martin's not who you think he is. That plane crash was his and Yvie's joint effort, but I'd anticipated it… And I was hiding because I wanted to lure the one behind him out of hiding."Then, he hugged her so fiercely he could fuse them together right then. "That

    "Yeah."Renee was unsure how to deal with Julian.Quinton then walked up and clapped her on the shoulder. "My condolences. I'll deal with things at Genome Tech—you worry about sorting out your family manners."It hurt to see Renee losing so much weight.Still, while they were talking, another car arrived, and Martin alighted.Quinton's eyes narrowed when he saw the man, but just for a second, and no one noticed.On the other hand, Candy was gaping at Martin in disbelief. "M-Mr. Whitley? You're alive?" She then turned to Renee, "But he's…"A person coming back from death was simply… unthinkable!However, Renee wasn't in the mood to explain and sniffled. "He just got back yesterday… He was abroad, amnesiac."Candy covered her mouth with her palm, caught in disbelief. "Oh… That's actually possible? I can't believe it…" Martin saw Candy just then and came over. "Candy, was it? Long time no see. You're such a beautiful woman now."Candy pursed her lips awkwardly. "Yeah, long t
