Chapter 1143

Author: Mizuki Sei
Stefan and Xavier were lounging at the VIP booth seats on the second floor of Bar of Fame, watching as people flailed around on the dance floor.

They were drinking tequila from Massimo—the texture was smooth, and it was highly intoxicating. Specifically, Xavier was doing the drinking, while Stefan was just offering company. He knew that his alcohol tolerance was average, so he basically avoided it.

On the other hand, Xavier was chugging glass after glass relentlessly, as if he was in mourning.

"Stef, I'm telling you… You really shouldn't fall in love. It's sweet at first, but after that, it's just pain and bitterness. I'm done!" Xavier declared emotionally as he twirled the blue liquor in his glass, staring at the myriad colors overhead.

"Who did you fall in love with this time?" Stefan asked casually, looking noble and aloof as he leaned against the red cushioned seat, one leg crossed over the other. He was used to having his friends ask him out to drink their sorrows away every

    That was why Stefan urgently needed to find the one who could 'unlock' him, so that he could be normal again!"Your silence only proves me right. See? You agree with me that you don't love Seraphina at all, and you'd be hurting her and yourself if you kept bumbling on and marrying her, y'know?" Xavier naturally saw everything clearly because he was close to Stefan, and Stefan saw Xavier clearly too.Stefan did not love Seraphina, just like Xavier did not love Leia… therefore, as a scumbag with a conscience, he would never allow himself to hurt Leia, or his good friend to hurt Seraphina."I really don't love Seraphina, do I?" Stefan narrowed his eyes, working hard to ponder on the fact before asking a soul-searching question. "But who is the one I love if not her?"After all, he was constantly aware that he loved a certain person with every fiber of his being, and it was a love ingrained to his very bones. Judging from his memories, it had to be Seraphina, who braved hell and high w

    Renee stood before Stefan, angrily glaring at him as the atmosphere grew tense. Even Stefan's bodyguards were holding their breaths, ready to jump into action at any moment.However, the standoff lasted little over ten seconds as Renee's eyes suddenly turned watery."If you don't… I-I'll cry!" She stammered, and started bawling. "Boo-hoo…Please, Stefan Hunt… CEO of Hunt Enterprise and the god of Beach City… Please, give him back to me…" She was crying so loudly that the whole bar seemed to quake, causing everyone in the bar to turn towards the VIP area curiously.Stefan was utterly mystified—this woman never seemed to behave like a normal person, and he was completely caught off guard!To make things worse, Renee had become so experienced in crying that her tears and snot were flowing freely while her eyes and nose had turned red. She looked so miserable that she could give professional actresses a run for their money!"No… Please… If you're upset with someone, go mess with them…

    Xavier strode up to Leia, grabbed her wrist, and said quietly, "What are you doing? There's a limit to making jokes, and don't you know what will happen if you make Stef angry?"Leia's gaze was muddled even as she turned to Xavier, but she only got more upset. "Everyone, see? This man is no angel too, forcing himself on students just like his best friend. In fact, he's worse—the student had ten babies with him. Pigs like him should be given the electric chair!"With that, everyone's attention turned to Xavier in record time."Exactly how much did you drink, woman?! Get a grip!" Xavier could smell the pungent scent of alcohol from Leia's mouth, and had to clasp his hand over her mouth to stop her from saying anything else."Look! Mmph—the scumbag is trying to kill me! Oof!" Leia struggled violently, but Xavier simply scooped her up in his arms. "Come with me. I can't let you run around like this.""Hey, what are you doing?! Let me go! I need to expose him! I—" Leia protested but

    Renee did a double take as she wondered what Stefan was talking about. "Who else would I come for?"Stefan stayed silent, and simply stared at her with a meaningful look in her eyes.Renee lost her patience, and glanced at her surroundings before quietly saying, "I've cried and begged—I've prostrated myself as much as I can, so please, haven't you had enough? Let him go, or you'll suffer too if I expose you.""So, you're done with crying and begging… and now you're threatening me?" Stefan folded his legs and smiled meaningfully, twirling his glass of tequila and taking a sip of it. "Don't you know what the price for threatening me is?"Renee rolled her eyes at the man's love of being dramatic—what else could it be other than another round of bickering?"I don't want to cause a scene, and no one wants word of this to get out," she retorted staunchly. "But if you insist, I don't mind knocking your teeth out!"Stefan was surprisingly not upset, and actually teased her, "That actuall

    Renee was so tired that she decided to just give up and claim responsibility for everything. "If you say it's true, then it must be true. You don't have to hold out hope for me because I'm obviously blindsiding you so that I can be with Jovan. I only cared for you to silence my conscience, so come at me if you still bear a grudge—don't hurt Jovan. He's just an innocent victim I manipulated!""Come at you?!" Stefan snorted in disdain, slowly rising to his feet and walking up to Renne. "Do you know what's the worst torment for a woman?""I'm sorry, but I'm inexperienced when it comes to being a sicko," Renee replied with an impassive look. She knew that he probably hated her to the bone, and must have thought of hundreds of ways to torment her.But it was fine—was she not fortunate if her sacrifice could be traded for everyone's happiness?"I guess I can tell you…" Stefan said with a vague smile, putting a hand around her waist and pulling her towards him. He leaned down and murmured

    "Zzz…"Hearing the rhythmic snoring, Stefan turned around to find that Renee was fast asleep without a care. Furious, he spun the steering wheel and jammed his food on the brakes.As the car came to a screeching halt at the turn on a coastal zone, Renee immediately jolted awake and reached for the car door handle, looking around in panic, "Argh! What happened?! Was there an earthquake?!"She saw that the car had stopped by the beach, enveloped in darkness and silence—danger seemed to lurk everywhere.Meanwhile, Stefan opened the window to let the fresh breeze in, looking up at the starry sky above."Carefree, aren't you?" He scoffed flatly as he lit himself a cigarette, exhaling a puff of smoke. "Someone who knew better would know you're due for punishment, but those who don't would think that you're here to sightsee."Embarrassed, Renee hastily tidied her appearance and cleared her throat. "Sorry I wasn't taking this seriously. Should I be more worried about not meeting your exp

    Stefan did not miss Renee's fidgeting, but misunderstood it as her craving a cigarette. Frowning, he lectured her like a father would, "You're a woman, but you smoke?"His judgy tone pissed Renee off, and she straightened herself menacingly as she snapped, "What's wrong with women smoking? Why are men allowed to do it, but not women?""Men are different from women," Stefan said stubbornly."In what way?" Renee demanded sharply. "From my perspective, women can do anything men can, but men can't do everything women can. In that respect, women are nobler than men!""How so?""Women are more empathetic, sentimental, and kinder. Most importantly, they can bear children, and men can't. Think about it—every human being came from a woman, so why are men allowed to smoke but women aren't?"Stefan actually could not come up with a retort against Renee's eloquent logic, and she snorted. "See? Can't argue against that, can you? Give me a reason if you think of one that's reasonable."Seizin

    "Yes, that's how much I love him. So please set us free, Mr. Hunt!" Renee clearly felt Stefan's rage, but she felt no fear, and instead repeatedly challenged the limit of his patience."In that case, get ready for a world of pain!" Stefan snapped, his eyes ablaze with rage even as he snatched her cigarette and snuffed it out violently."What are you doing?!" Renee exclaimed, shifting backwards and putting her hand on the door handle, ready to flee at a moment's notice."Weren't you acting all noble and ready to give up everything for him? Having second thoughts now, are we?""No, I just… wanted to prepare mentally.""Don't worry, I won't kill you," Stefan said, his gaze dangerously possessive as he held her dainty chin with his long fingers. "I'm only interested in your body.""You're sick!" Renee's face flushed, and she turned to open the door to escape the awkward, suffocating space inside the car.She didn't expect Stefan to lock the door before she could."If you're not hav

    Jovan called Stefan to sound the latter out. Anyway, it would be convenient for Stefan to rush over since they were both at the same spot. "I'll be right there," Stefan said. Then, he hung up.For a moment, silence washed over everyone, as if something terrible was about to happen.After taking in the new information, Leia said indignantly, "What's going on? Why does he want to come? Isn't he too shameless? How dare he come?" Although everything wasn't discussed openly, everyone knew why Stefan and Renee broke up all of a sudden, despite how lovey-dovey they were. The reason was that Stefan had cheated on Renee.Even if the adultery was faked, it was still the cause of their breakup. If Stefan were shameful or guilty, he wouldn't have agreed to come. He was going to face Renee there with their friends and family around. Certainly, it was embarrassing. "Hmph! Why not? He impersonated me, seized my business, and snatched away my woman. Plus, he led a steady life, got married

    Jovan's words made the atmosphere quiet and bizarre. "Are you out of your mind, Jovan? It's already very annoying to have someone like you here. Do you have to get another annoying guy?" Leia frowned, crossing her arms. She kept scolding him.Initially, the atmosphere was considered harmonious. It was still considered fine even if there was an annoying person like Jovan. Unexpectedly, he wanted to call another, more terrible person to come here. Things would certainly go wrong. "Ms. Osborne, you're famous for talking harshly, too. You're just like me. I love it." However, Jovan was not mad at all. He grinned while waiting for Stefan to answer the call. Generally, Stefan would not answer Jovan's call. Surprisingly, he picked it up that time."What's the matter?" Jovan purposely put it on speaker mode. Stefan sounded aloof and emotionless.Jovan sounded wicked as he calmly asked Stefan, "Do you want to join a gathering, Stefan?""I'm going to hang up if you don't say anythi

    In the past, Jovan had always regarded Stefan as a coward. Stefan couldn't forget about Renee, but he kept pushing Renee to another man. It seemed like Justin was more responsible, considerate, and gentle. Of course, Renee would lead a very happy, steady, and comfortable life with such a man. At the very least, Jovan felt that he could not be that meticulous and considerate. He would only drive Renee mad just to get her attention. "Hmph! Are you trying to humiliate me or yourself?" Justin didn't find that a compliment. Instead, it sounded like smockery. Jovan made it sound like Justin was a nice guy, but would not be picked by Renee. Usually, people like that had to suffer and would not end up well."I'm praising you." Jovan was helpless because of his reputation as the villain. Although he had said a lot of annoying things, he did want to compliment Justin. His love was probably as deep as Justin's, but his and Stefan's ways of loving Renee were much inferior to Justin's.

    "That's unnecessary." Justin stood in front of Renee, his face cold. He said firmly, "She's unwell and can't have wine." "Is she unwell? I didn't see that." Jovan sized Renee up before he sized Justin up. Then, he sneered, "And who are you to her? You can't stop her from having wine.""It's none of your business who I am to her. I said she can't have wine." Justin always kept peace with others, but at that moment, he was dominant. He didn't always want to control Renee, but she had drunk a lot of wine that day. It might have hurt her belly. Hence, he felt it better for her to abstain from wine lately. However, Jovan was unaware of that affair. He simply found Justin purposely showing his ownership over Renee, which disgusted him."Waiter, get her a glass of milk. She only wants that," Justin instructed a waiter, showing his consideration for Renee. "It's okay. I can have a little wine. Plus, I'm rather good at drinking. It's not easy for everyone to get together tonight. I do

    They danced for around ten minutes. Renee danced to the song heartily. Her initial gloomy mood also improved.Renee drank some water and took a few deep breaths. Then, she sincerely praised Leia, "Alright. Your welcome ceremony is bizarre, but it helped relieve my stress. I like it very much!"She could tell that Leia had painstakingly prepared that gift for her. After all, it was not easy to ask the Zambawi people from primitive tribes to sing an English song. "I'm glad you like it. I did this because I wanted you to relax and stop taking things seriously. You need to stop being so hard on yourself and get rid of all the pressure!" Leia said honestly. The Zambawi hand-drum dance came with the charms of a primitive dance. Its goal was to set people free. Of course, it was suitable for Renee to relieve her stress."Yeah, your stress is relieved. From now on, you'll start afresh. This is for you. I'm sure it'll be one of your happy memories." Liam handed the previous Polaroid to

    "This is your welcome ceremony. This hand-drum dance is to help eliminate bad luck." Leia held Renee's arm, satisfied with her arrangement. She said happily, "Listen to their song! It's a great song!""Is there a song?" Renee frowned; she felt that Leia was always doing bizarre things. She wondered how Leia could come up with such a preposterous welcome ceremony."Mm, listen carefully! It's English. You can understand it." At that point, Leia said to the Zambawi people, "Put on your microphone. And sing louder."The Zambawi people gave their cooperation. They used their typical Zambawi singing to sing the English song. While listening to the song, Renee found it very familiar. "The flowers will bloom in spring, and the birds are free. I'm still waiting, waiting for my love to come back. Hurry home!""Isn't that Spring Flowers by Curtis Harrett?" Renee finally recalled what song it was. It was a song with a happy beat. It could make people happy. The Zambawi people made th

    "I don't know, either. All I ever remember from when I was young is that I led a very painful life. I once tried my best to make the Garcia family accept me. I did all the dirty and tiring jobs. I went out to work at an early age to get money for them. I also did all the house chores. "But my foster parents were never nice to me. They would always beat me up or scold me. My elder foster brother also saw me as an eyesore. He always tried to get me killed…" Quinton calmly described his past. He no longer seemed to be in pain. All that was left in him was numbness, as if he were talking about someone else.However, Renee was always in pain whenever she heard him talk about his past. She felt like she had returned to his past with him and experienced those painful things. It was normal for her to feel that way because they were twins. A lot of their thoughts and feelings were synchronized. "I suddenly recalled that I would inexplicably become gloomy many times when I was young. I

    "I'm sorry." When Renee heard that from Quinton, she realized the conflict between him and Stefan had yet to be resolved. It was temporarily put aside because of her. She occasionally saw him and Stefan talk to each other and drink together, but they merely put on a show to ease her mind. Their hatred for each other hadn't been eliminated. Instead, it was growing secretly. If Renee were Quinton, she might never forgive the person who had snatched away her beloved and seized her identity. That person even ruined her face."Why did you say sorry to me? It's the resentment between him and me. It has nothing to do with you. Plus, I didn't know he was my brother-in-law then. If I knew, I wouldn't have fought him." When Quinton recalled those affairs, he realized that people were nothing but the sport of fate. If there had been no resentment between him and Stefan, Renee might not have broken up with Stefan. Their families might even get closer. "Stop bringing up the past. It's

    During these days, Renee was under pressure because of her affairs. She had no chance to ask Quinton about it. Now, the long flight gave them a chance to have a deep conversation. They could talk about their woes and seek consolation."Me?" Quinton lowered his head and shook his head helplessly. "I'm still the same old me. Nothing is troubling me. I've been busy with Carmine Pawnshop. I have no time to think about other stuff.""You have no time?" Renee touched her chin and smiled naughtily. "Then, you must have been dwelling on other stuff. Let me guess… Is it the thing between you and Joanne?" "Stop asking so much." Quinton did not deny it but refused to talk much about that. "It looks like I made the right guess. You fell out with Joanne, didn't you?" Renee knew Quinton well. Generally, his work would not affect his mood. The only person who could affect his mood was Joanne, who shared a complicated relationship with him. Before Renee left Beach City, she had created a l
