Chapter 1700

Author: Mizuki Sei
Renee was speechless. Of course she was aware of Jovan's feelings for her, but after everything that had happened, she didn't want to talk about it.

"If I could, I'd rather have you instead. Someone else can have that lousy Hunt Enterprise!" Jovan complained as he sulkily sipped his wine, acting like a child in front of Renee.

Renee's fingers tapped the table along to Miss Band's music, and she looked relaxed. Calmly, she said, "Jovan, I did owe you in the past, but I don't owe you anything now. What you want is none of my business. If you consider me a friend, please let me go back to my friend." She was no fool—she knew that her fate was in Jovan's hands today, but she still hoped that Jovan could be rational and let her go...

"Yes, you don't owe it to me, but I owe it to you. Your eyes are as perfect as gemstones, and I feel guilty every day that I use them. Do you think I can pretend to be ignorant and keep on shamelessly using them?" Jovan clenched his fists and blinked back

    Jovan pulled Renee into his arms."You..." Renee started to struggle, but suddenly, a strong smell hit her nose. She opened her mouth to protest, but before she could say anything, she blacked out.-When Renee woke up, she found herself lying in a large bed. She instantly realized that she was at Jovan's manor in the suburbs away from the city. When she had surgery to donate her eyes to Jovan, she had laid in the same bed."You're awake?" Jovan's voice came from above her, gentle and passionate. A chill crept up Renee's spine, and she sat up, leaning back against the head of the bed. "Why did you bring me here? Don't tell me you want to force me to fall in love with you; it doesn't suit you, Jovan.""You still can make jokes. It seems like you're in good spirits." Jovan smiled and walked to the wine cabinet. He poured himself a glass of wine and went to sit on the sofa near the bed, leisurely crossing his legs. Slowly, he said, "Forcing you to love me, hmm? Well, I can certainl

    Renee figured that Jovan had lost his mind, so she decided not to waste her time talking to him. She accepted her situation since she couldn't do anything about it.Jovan was surprised at the sudden change in her attitude. Flattered, he fawned over Renee every day diligently.On a bright afternoon, Jovan insisted on listening to some CDs with Renee.Helpless, Renee chose to listen to the songs with him. Yes, Jovan was crazy, but his taste in music was as good as hers. He liked bands that she liked, like Oasis, Keane, and Coldplay. If Renee and Jovan only chatted about music, the atmosphere would be good, and they could talk for the whole afternoon."Listen to this song. It's called Hey Jude, and it's a classic by The Beatles..." Jovan said eagerly as he placed a CD in an old-fashioned record player. The Beatles had been formed in 1960 and was considered the pioneer of rock music. Most of their songs had become hits, including Hey Jude, which was their most popular song. The nice

    The sun was setting, and sunlight shone on Renee's face as she tilted her head towards it. "You want to know?" "Of course." Jovan looked serious. "I want to know everything about you, including your sincere thoughts." He knew that Renee didn't like him, at least not yet, but they did get on well sometimes. The thought of it gave him hope. "It's because I want to buy time for Stefan," Renee answered honestly without any hesitation.Jovan abruptly stopped peeling the grape in his hand, his heart aching."If you're spending time with me, you won't have the time to go after him. Then, he'll have the chance to make a counterattack." Renee tried to be as cruel and hurtful as possible."Okay, I know." Jovan gave himself a second to be sad before he reverted to his shameless self. "I admit that I didn't have the time to manage the company or try to look into Stefan's affairs. It's like what they said in the ancient poems: "the king ignores his work because of his romance." Nothing else

    Almost a week passed. Renee longed for Stefan day and night, but he still didn't come. Meanwhile, Jovan enjoyed her misfortune and teased her, "What should you do? Your hero hasn't come to your rescue... You'd better spend the rest of your life with me. I won't mistreat you!" He shamelessly tried to get close to Renee, but Renee kicked him away. "Do you have to be like this every day?""Wasn't I right though?" Jovan sneered. "It's fine if it's a day or two, but it's already been two weeks, and he's nowhere to be seen. He's either dead, or he doesn't care about you.""Shut up!" Renee tried to punch Jovan, but Jovan grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms instead. "I know you're sad. To be honest, I'm sad too—I didn't expect that Stefan would be such a worthless piece of trash. He's too timid, and I defeated him easily!" "Let go of me!" Renee struggled in his grip, a look of disgust on her face. Jovan's embrace was more fervent and suffocating than Stefan's. It was like h

    Renee spoke calmly, perfectly aware that her words would hurt Jovan.Jovan's lips twitched slightly, and his fingernails dug into his skin in anger. It had only been two weeks, and Renee had spent every day of them hurting him. However, he wasn't tired of it… Maybe he was going crazy."I don't get it. I'm a useless person, and I treat you badly. Why do you keep pestering me?" Renee looked helpless as she tried to persuade him, "You're now the boss of Hunt Enterprise, which makes you very rich. You can have any woman you want, so why are you wasting your time with me and making everyone unhappy?""Yeah, I don't know why either." Jovan smiled bitterly and stared at Renee. "So, let me pester you for a little longer. Maybe I'll get bored one day and let you go, right?"Renee paused and sighed. "Good point. I can't argue with that." She knew that Jovan was a stubborn man, and she wouldn't be able to change his mind. Besides, he might only give up if he got bored or disgusted. Inspired b

    "Mmph!" Renee tensed. She never thought Jovan would be this bold, and punched his shoulders, trying to push him away. However, instead of letting her go, he tried to deepen the kiss. Renee squeaked and bit his lip, making him pull away with a hiss of pain. Renee wiped her lips and cursed him fiercely. "Are you out of your mind, Jovan? You said you wouldn't touch me without my permission. How could you break your word?" It was humiliating kissing a man she repulsed, but more than that… she felt guilty. Stefan had risked his life to save her, and his whereabouts were still unknown, but Renee had just kissed his enemy. She felt like killing herself.Slowly, Jovan wiped away the blood on his lips, a satisfied smile on his face. "It doesn't count since I was just kissing you as a friend. Besides, weren't you the one who asked for it?" "When did I do that?" "You said I wouldn't be able to bear the sight of your eyes when I kiss you, so… I just proved it to you. I can take it, and I enjo

    Briar sneered. "Oh, I forgot. You're blind now, and I'm wearing a mask. You don't know who I am."Renee clenched her fists, her lips tightly pursed. She knew she had guessed right, and she had no choice but to face her, no matter how afraid she was to do it."You remember?" Briar saw Renee's expression, and her gaze slowly turned fierce and hateful. "You pushed me down the cliff, and I was crushed. I was in so much pain that I wanted to die, but I managed to crawl out of that hell because I told myself that I shouldn't be defeated that easily. No matter what, I had to take you down with me. Well, it certainly looks like I made the right choice." Briar sized Renee up, smirking when she saw Renee's empty and scarred eye sockets. "If I didn't hold on back then, I wouldn't have been able to see you turn this ugly and miserable! Not so smug now, are we?" "Ms. Desrosiers, watch your tongue." Jovan shot Briar a cold glance and warned her. "I didn't bring you here to hurt her." "It's oka

    Renee's rare praise of Jovan made him feel uneasy, and he shrugged. "Don't say that. Briar and I are the same kind of people—we'll do whatever it takes to get what we want. So... she and I are now allies, and I'm happy we are.""You're stubborn, Jovan. I was wrong about you." Renee was angry at Jovan for deciding to work with Briar. She didn't want to talk to Briar either, so she stood up and clumsily made her way out.Jovan didn't go after her or explain—he just let her sulk, thinking badly of him. Briar crossed her arms and watched as Renee staggered and nearly fell several times as she walked away. Then, she turned and said to Jovan, "I thought you were a passionate person, but I guess you aren't that nice either since you didn't go comfort her or help her when she almost fell. I finally understand why she refuses to let Stefan go even though you've tried your best to win her over; if it were me, I would have chosen Stefan too."Jovan glared at Briar. "Don't talk about things

    Justin smiled and described the children's experiences, acting like a stepfather. When he talked about the children, he made it sound like they were his biological children. Stefan didn't look so good. He felt that the glass of wine was getting bitter."Well, I'm sure kids will find everything new and exciting when they go to a new place. But they'll get bored with it when time passes. They'll love their real home better." Stefan had wanted to act relaxed and casual, but he could not stop himself from refuting when he heard Justin's provocative words. "Mm?" Leia sat beside Liam and leaned against his arm, and whispered, "What are they doing? This is weird. Are they going to fight?""It's just a competition between men. They won't get into a fight." Liam kept eating and watching the fun. He merely found it amusing. As expected, Renee was greatly admired. Although she remained silent, she would always be in the limelight. Liam was amused to see people like Stefan or Justin

    "How dare you!"Stefan's words instantly made Leia speechless. She had wanted to rebuke him, but he snatched the chance from her and struck her dumb.In short, he was an utter scumbag.After a moment, Leia finally managed to comment, "How shameless!" Justin had kept silent all the while. He looked at Stefan with a scrutinizing and mocking gaze. "Mr. Hunt, I admire your honesty and self-awareness. If that's the case, let's stop being reserved and have fun together!""Yes, let's have fun together. I'm shameless, too!" Liam joined in the effort to mock Stefan. He swayed his glass of wine and faked a smile. "I've known her a long time, so of course I know what shameless things Mr. Hunt has done. I think I'd better grab this chance to tell you all of them since everyone is here today."Standing at the door, Renee was worried that Liam might say more indecent things. She hurriedly stopped him. "Pipe down, Liam!" "Got it." Liam shrugged helplessly but obeyed her.Although he yea

    "Do you want to leave?" Stefan saw Renee. He was calm, indifferent, and distant. His behavior stung Renee. Renee could easily recall their lovey-dovey memories. They had both risked their lives for each other and vowed to be together forever. They had two children, too. Yet, they ended up as strangers.Although Renee was heartbroken, she became competitive. She smoothed her hair and said in a similarly cold manner, "I'm going to the washroom." "Okay." Stefan did not have anything to say. He nodded and walked past Renee before heading to the dining table. "Hmph! I didn't expect you to come so boldly," Quinton sneered.At the sight of Stefan, Quinton subconsciously clenched his fists, acting like he was about to fight Stefan. On the surface, he wouldn't act aggressively because he knew Renee would stop him. "It's not easy for the few great families to get together. It's good and meaningful for us. If I refused to come, it would make me seem heartless."Stefan kept his co

    Having said that, Renee lowered her head, about to leave. She didn't even have the time to bother about Adie and Abby, and told Quinton to take them home later. Her strange behavior filled Quinton with displeasure. He blocked Renee and said solemnly, "Are you afraid? Do you want to run away? People might think that you're guilty and have cheated on your husband!""No, I'm not!" Renee refuted him loudly, then explained seriously, "I'm busy. I need to handle something right away. Plus, I'm not guilty. I did nothing wrong. There's no reason for me to feel guilty." Quinton went straight to the point. "What are you afraid of since you know you're not guilty? Why do you want to run away? He should be afraid instead!""I told you. I'm not afraid of him. I'm just…" "What?" Quinton crossed his arms and looked at Renee coldly. He wanted to get to the bottom of it.Renee came up with a ridiculous yet normal excuse. "I… I recalled that the dessert shop that I want to head to is about to

    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
