Chapter 592

Author: Sequora
Renee was completely bemused. "Who?"

"Kayla."

Renee frowned as she turned to Adam in surprise. "Kayla's alive? How'd you know?"

She had always found it strange when she heard that Kayla died in prison, but as her subsequent investigations proved inconclusive, she simply let the case grow cold.

But now, to hear that Kayla was alive from Adam really shocked her.

Leveling her pretty almond eyes at Adam, she asked, "And you helped her escape?"

Adam averted his eyes and stayed silent, but it could well be an answer.

Renee's expression darkened as she growled, "And here I thought you've changed. I guess I've really overestimated you!"

And with that, she turned to leave.

Adam's eyes were red with regret, watching her stride off, determined.

"There's no turning back from certain mistakes," he said with a sigh. "I'm so sorry, Renee, but I just wasn't thinking straight…"

He was terrified of Kayla exposing his real roots, but he genuinely regretted it after everything.

That was why he

    Renee lowered her gaze and sighed, her eyes moist with tears as she leaned over the sink. "To tell the truth… I'm not sure if he's alive. He was going to propose when he returned to Hyperia, and we were going to get married next year… and then the news came that his plane crashed into the ocean.""His plane… crashed?" Amy murmured, and remembered with a start. "Oh, that rings a bell… My friends were saying what a waste it was to have lost such young and successful businessmen that day. I didn't know he was your fiance."Pausing in hesitation, she eventually asked, "Is he… gone?""That's what all the papers say… But no, I never saw a body. Until then, I refuse to believe it…"As Renee sounded sadder with every word, her tears even flowing, Amy patted her back and said, "You really loved him, I see, But as the phrase goes, there's no raising the dead…"Renee sighed and nodded, wiping her tears. "Yeah."Amy patiently consoled her for a while after that, and they returned to the high

    Renee nodded. "It's that bad, huh? Don't worry, I'll take care of myself.""Good. I'm going now."Jasper washed his hands by the sink and quickly turned to leave.Renee herself stayed in the washroom for a while before leaving.And when she did, she found Amy standing right there.The instant she saw Amy's face, her heart pounded as she remembered what Jasper had just said and was at once wary.Still, she smiled. "Hey. Are you winning?""I couldn't care less about that," Amy replied as she applied her lipstick in front of the mirror.Then, lowering her voice and watching Renee in the mirror, she said, "The only one I care about is Tom, and everyone in Cromenia knows that, but you had the audacity to cling to him. He's mine, so stay away from him."Renee wasn't upset at all.The direct threat was much more comforting than being stabbed in the back before she knew it.Drying her hands with a paper towel after washing her hands, she assured Amy, "I sincerely wish you all the be

    Renee had been really worried for Jasper earlier, but she was now relieved to see him here.Sighing in relief ever so softly as her nerves eased, she turned away from the 'waiter' and looked at Tom. "Indian Poker? Okay, though I'm not sure how to play."She had a flair for it, but she really wasn't in the mood and wanted to know why Jasper was there.Could there be some sort of plan being hatched here at the casino?Tom smiled as he sat beside her, fiddling with his stacks of chips and said, "Just have fun. You can bet with my chips, but if you win, it's yours.""Wow, Tom. You're positively babying her." Amy smiled, but her eyes were narrowed hostilely at Renee.She had always loved Tom, but her numerous confessions were rejected.At first, she thought he preferred men due to the company he kept, only for Renee to appear out of nowhere.Even she had to admit that Renee was beautiful, smart, and otherworldly, so much so that even she would defer to herself.But that didn't stop

    "Come on, don't stand up on my account."Tom chuckled, nudged Renee slightly forward, and introduced her again. "Everyone, this is Renee. She's a friend, so do take good care of her."As he spoke, he was looking pointedly at the cocktail waitresses, and everyone else was sharp enough to read his mind."Go."As the cocktail waitresses filed out quietly, one of the other women in the room stepped forward.Dressed in a red dress and holding her champagne flute with one hand while crossing her other beneath her chest, she said, "Renee Whitley… I'm not sure I'm familiar with you, but you're beautiful."There was naturally no shortage of girlbosses around the room."This is Amy," Tom told Renee, and put a hand on Renee's shoulder as he told Amy in Cromenian, "She's a bit shy. Don't be a bully now."For some reason, he was extra chivalrous at that moment, hovering around her and doting on her endlessly.However, it only made Renee even more curious—what deal did Mark cut with Tom tha

    Tom scowled, glaring at each of them as he growled, "She speaks Cromenian."He was telling them to watch their mouths, and everyone promptly turned toward Renee, smiling apologetically."Sorry, beautiful. But I'm just really interested…""We mean nothing but affection…""Oh, if Tom's not actually interested, you can try dating me…""Really sorry about that…"Their apologies were at least sincere, but Renee smiled and took no offence, replying in fluent Cromenian, "It's fine. Let's go in.""Oh, you first.""Yes.""Ladies first."They were suddenly perfect gentlemen as they cleared the way for her, and she didn't shy away as she strode up front, with Tom right behind her.It was her first time visiting Begas, and the casino they went to was easily as grand as the biggest casino back home.And for some reason, being there excited her, as she couldn't help remembering playing at the tables with Jasper after a business negotiation.It had been a delightful time, but she also sa

    Renee was more terrified of falling. She nodded and replied, "Yeah, I'm fine.""Oh, good," the man said as he released her. "Are you from Hyperia?""Yeah. Are you too?""Haha! What a coincidence—I'm actually from Harborview City. What about you?""Harborview City?"Renee studied the man pointedly from head to toe, her gaze turning from surprise to wariness.Bumping into a compatriot in a foreign land, and a fellow Harborview City resident?It was next to impossible."I'm Finlay Jacobson," the man introduced himself, holding out a hand. "My grandma was actually a native, and I stayed in Harborview City for the length of my childhood before moving here with permanent residence. It's such a coincidence…"He held out a hand, and Renee smiled and shook it. "Renee Whitley. Nice to meet you.""Shall we exchange numbers?""Sorry, I didn't bring my phone with me," Renee replied, shaking her head warily.She didn't like how forward Finlay was, not to mention that he was downright aim
