Chapter 1714

Author: Mizuki Sei
Briar successfully appeared in public as herself three days later, and grandly joined Hunt Enterprise as a member of the board of directors.

Leia had been trying her best to search for Renee for the past few days, but she couldn't get in touch with Stefan, Xavier, or the others. She was feeling frustrated and hopeless. One day, she saw a live broadcast of Briar joining the board of directors of Hunt Enterprise, and was stunned. "What the hell? The troublemaker is alive? And she became a core member of Hunt Enterprise?" For a moment, endless theories popped up in Leia's mind. She figured that Briar might have something to do with Renee's disappearance, which might be why she had appeared after Renee had gone missing. It was just too much of a coincidence.

Hence, Leia hurriedly drove to Hunt Enterprise, and tried to barge in. Naturally, the security guards stopped her, and she screamed, "Get out of my way! I want to see the person in charge here and that hag Briar!"

    Leia's eyes widened and she shrieked, "Oh, I knew it was you! You're a kidnapper and a pervert! Where are you keeping Ren? Let her go!" She had suspected Jovan from the beginning because it was a well-known fact that he had ulterior motives toward Renee. Renee had even lived abroad with Jovan for half a year away from others. He probably couldn't bear being separated from Renee so he kidnapped her again."Yes, I did take her, but I don't plan to let her go. What I can tell you is that she's doing fine, and I'll try my best to make her better. Please leave if that's all you have to say." Jovan's expression was menacing. If not for the fact that Leia was Renee's best friend, he would have made her suffer."How can you be so arrogant after kidnapping someone?! Listen—I'm not leaving until I get what I came here for. I'll even set this place on fire if that's the only way I'll get Renee back!" Leia snarled, gripping Jovan's arm tightly and refusing to let him go. "Let go!" Jovan had me

    Naturally, Jovan wanted to reciprocate, but Xavier instinctively rushed over to protect Leia. It was a mess as the three of them tussled. At that moment, Briar arrived at the lobby on the ground floor, surrounded by executives. Leia immediately turned to her and howled, "You're still alive, you troublemaker! I owe you a beating!" Leia let go of Jovan and rushed toward Briar."What-What do you want?" Briar didn't expect such a sudden attack, and couldn't dodge in time."What do I want..." Leia pulled Briar's hair and punched her. "I want to whack you up, of course! I already told you that if you ever appeared in front of me, I would beat you up!"Briar's self-defense skills and temper were less violent than Leia's, so she couldn't fight back. All she could do was scream. "Let go of me, you crazy woman! I'm going to call the cops to arrest you! Oh, you're going to ruin my hair. Let go, you harpy! Guards, do your job and get rid of her!" The security guards moved forward to help, b

    In the past, Jovan manipulated Stefan's feigned death to snatch away the company, but it had been Stefan's trap. He had waited for Jovan to walk into it, and the ending had been delightful. However, this time...Xavier and Quinton had worked with the villagers living in the mountains to look for Stefan every day, but they failed to find any clues related to him. He was missing, and it broke Xavier's heart. Xavier knew that Stefan would not easily fall to death, but right now, it was the only plausible option. Stefan would not go missing and give them no news if he had not fallen to his death."I know even if you don't tell me. It must be bad... You haven't found him, right?" Jovan asked slowly. "You wouldn't look this worried if you had. I believe what the rumors say—my pitiful cousin might have fallen off a cliff and got eaten by beasts.""Shut up!" Enraged, Xavier threw another punch at Jovan.A sigh escaped Jovan. "You might not believe me, but I don't want him dead. I have yet

    Then, Briar limped away. Leia watched Briar leave, looking troubled."Are you okay?" Xavier walked over and asked in concern."I'm fine." Leia shook her head absently and looked at Xavier. "Where's Stefan? Where did he go? Does he know that Ren's been waiting for him to come back? Ren needs him the most right now, so where is he hiding?""Let's go back. I need to talk to you about that in detail." Xavier glanced at Jovan pointedly. However, Leia couldn't just leave like that. She walked to Jovan. "What else do you want from me?" Jovan took a step back in fear, covering his bitten arm. "I'll make you suffer if you go crazy again." "I know now that Ren is at your place. I can't just ignore that, so make a choice—are you going to drive her home, or do you want me to barge into your house and take her?" Leia demanded aggressively.Jovan frowned and contemplated it for a while. "I can't decide for Renee, but I can guarantee one thing—if she wants to leave when you come to pick h

    However, Adie was just a child. The consequences would be very serious regardless of how good he was. Margaret didn't want anything bad to happen to him, and she wouldn't know how to help him if something did."Just tell them not to worry..." Leia patted Margaret's shoulders and reassured her. "If everything goes smoothly, Ren can come back in a week.""That's great. It's alright if she travels, as long as she's okay. I'll take good care of the kids." Margaret heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't ask where Renee was—she was just happy to hear that she was safe. After a brief pause, Margaret looked at Xavier carefully. "Umm... What about Mr. Hunt?" "Stefan..." Xavier clenched his fists and told a white lie. "He's developing a sightseeing project there and can't come home yet.""Is he safe?" "Yeah, he's safe." Xavier took a deep breath, sounding like he was trying to convince himself more than anything. "I'm sure Stefan will be safe!""That's good. The kids can rest easy then. I'l

    Renee was rather obedient that night in Jovan's manor. Not only did she have dinner, but she also stayed in the living room for a long time, waiting for Jovan's return.Jovan, who was exhausted, was filled with warmth when he returned and saw her in the living room. "Are you waiting for me?" He walked over to Renee and sat close to her on the sofa, and the dim lighting made the atmosphere look intimate."Are you that surprised?""I am." Jovan looked serious. "I'd imagined this scene countless times in my head… but I know you'd only wait for me like this if you needed something from me." Renee smiled. "Is that how you see me? As someone who's cruel and selfish?" "No, I can only blame myself for not being charming enough. I failed to make you fall in love with me even after pursuing you for such a long time." Jovan shook his head, a bitter smile on his face. He knew very well how she regarded him and dared not fancy wishful thoughts."I do have a favor to ask." Renee was wringing

    "Grandpa agreed to it?" Renee's eyes widened in surprise. "I thought he always hated Briar? He knows how cunning she is, so why would he risk letting her join the board of directors? Isn't he worried that Briar might lose control and ruin Hunt Enterprise?" Doubts started to pop up in Renee's mind. Had something really happened to Stefan? There was no way he would have agreed to this if he was still the backbone of the company."Well, you'll know in a few days."-Three days later, Renee was overwhelmed by anxiety. She knew she had to face the truth. She had thought that Stefan would come to her rescue if she waited obediently, but it looked like he might need her to save him instead. Renee had been imagining that Stefan would come to save her like a knight in fairytales, but as time went by, she realized there was no point in hoping and waiting. If she continued like this, she would only be at others' mercy. Clenching her fists, she announced, "Lisa, I'm tired and want to sleep. You

    Three days later, Renee woke up feeling like she was floating. "Stefan… Don't go, Stefan!" She muttered, reaching out to grab something. Her hand closed on air, and she immediately woke up."You're finally awake!" Jovan shot to his feet in excitement beside her bed. He had been guarding Renee for three days. Renee was supposed to wake up two days ago after the surgery, but she had remained unconscious. The doctor had said that the consequences would be unimaginable if she did not wake up before dawn that day. Jovan had assumed that this was one of Briar's schemes and had snapped at her, even threatening to kill her if anything happened to Renee. Fortunately, Renee had woken up in time."Where am I?" Renee was in a daze, and could feel bandages on her eyes. The area around her eyes was hurting too, but it was the odd pain that felt like… there was something there."You're in a ward in the hospital," Jovan answered honestly, then added eagerly, "You had eye surgery three days ago, and

    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
