Chapter 2126

Author: Mizuki Sei
Silence overcame everyone. After a long while, Renee lowered her gaze.

"So, it was Stefan, right?"

She either seemed to be asking Liam or muttering to herself.

She should know. Stefan must have meddled in it since she could escape smoothly. If not, she wouldn't coincidentally run into him at such a remote place. However, a weird feeling gripped her upon learning that she had owed him a favor after such a long time.

"Stefan is no doubt useful even though he's unreliable. Plus, I think he cares about you. He must have sacrificed a big interest to help you escape," Liam said melancholically.

In the past, Liam looked down on Stefan and felt that the latter was cruel and cared only about his interests. Renee would suffer by dating him. She should have avoided such a selfish man, or she would have been betrayed sooner or later.

However, it was beyond Liam's expectation that such a selfish man would allow himself to fall under Benjamin's mercy. Liam knew Benjamin well—Benjamin woul

    Stefan might be lacking in other aspects, but he was strong. It was acceptable to make him Renee's supporter who could ease her mind."Forget it. Stop bringing him up!" Leia said.She never anticipated Liam to take Stefan's side one day. Liam had always hated Stefan deeply, so this was preposterous and bizarre. Leia wondered if he had lost his soul after staying at the fort for such a long time."Ren has long fallen out with Stefan. They no longer mind each other's business and are unrelated. Stop putting them together. It disgusts me," she went on.She was one of the few who was aware of the relationship between Renee and Stefan. She also knew how deep their conflict was. Naturally, she looked down on Stefan and hated him deeply. Women could accept their men to be poor, ugly, or cruel—but they found it unacceptable when their men had a change of heart. Once the men changed their minds, all love was nothing but trash. "What happened? Weren't you guys doing fine the other day?"

    The atmosphere instantly became tense and solemn."Forget it. I'll stop discussing this. After all, I've stopped getting in touch with him. We're like strangers now. His business doesn't concern me." Renee flexed her fingers, pretending to be casual."I hope you mean what you said. You regard him as a stranger now." Leia sighed helplessly. She knew Renee well. Renee didn't speak her mind—if she had truly let Stefan go, she wouldn't have been so concerned when Liam casually brought Stefan up. It was hard for Renee and Stefan to reconcile now, given the current situation. Hence, Leia decided to speak harshly about Stefan to help Renee to forget about him sooner. Liam, still shocked, found it a pity. He wasn't very sensible and kept asking questions. "Wait. So, Stefan cheated on Renee and got back together with Briar?" "Hey, stop saying that out loud. You're so insensitive!" Leia glared at Liam. She couldn't understand why he wasn't as attentive and sensible as he used to be."It

    Leia crossed her arms, thinking that Liam and Renee had gotten crazy. They kept siding with a scumbag who cheated on Renee! "Don't kissing and hugging mean he's cheated on Renee? Plus, they got tangled up with each other before. He insisted on divorcing Renee because of Briar back then. Isn't it normal for them to get back together? Maybe he can control his desires but can't stop himself from going back to his ex-girlfriend."Yes, some men had a high morality. They wouldn't engage in ambiguous relationships with women so easily. Even then, they were always loyal. They couldn't forget about the women they once fell madly in love with. Stefan probably confirmed that he wanted Briar. Even if Briar's face was ruined, he could still be with her. "There's no love between him and Briar. Of course they can't get back together with each other." Liam hit the nail on the head, pointing out the mistake in Leia's logic. "Remember. Briar was the woman of Stefan's brother. Stefan divorced Rene

    "No, there's nothing fishy. You can't forget about him. You're just lying to yourself!" Leia said. She had hit the nail on the head, pointing out Renee's exact issue.However, Liam didn't elaborate on that topic. He looked at Renee, feeling rather sorry for her. "You guys went through a lot just to visit me. Get some good rest. If Amber's marrying Mateo, I'm afraid I have a tough battle to fight." Liam knew Benjamin well. He had been an ordinary man who worked hard to gain his current power and status. Aside from his wisdom and his luck, he was vicious. The moment he thought that Amber had let Liam go, he wouldn't hesitate to kill Liam to prevent any trouble. Liam didn't mind if he survived it or not. However, he would never easily admit defeat if it might burden Renee and Leia."Is he that scary?" Leia asked.She was a naive simpleton from the upper elite circle, ignorant of life's hardships, with romance being the only exception. She couldn't imagine how terrible people could

    Renee felt guilty; she knew it must be boring for Leia to take care of her.That, and she wanted to roughly familiarize herself with the fort. If she fell out with Benjamin, she could prepare beforehand and come up with possible countermeasures. As Renee and Leia exited the room, they realized how large the fort was. Most of the houses there were cottages, simple and primitive. It was an independent tribe removed from the civilized modern world. Renee noticed professional bodyguards doing their rounds in the fort every few distances. They resembled armed soldiers, with rifles and knives on them, serving Benjamin the tyrant. The rumors about The Triangle were real. Government superiors couldn't meddle in the fort's affairs. Those who held the real power were people like Benjamin, who was a local tyrant with a personal militia. Based on the current situation, it would be a piece of cake for Benjamin to kill the three of them if he so wished. No wonder Liam underwent such a vas

    "Little boy, where are you taking me to?" Leia wasn't on guard with the child; she took his hand without hesitation and walked forward."Lei, don't go!" Renee cautioned. She looked around carefully, worried, and remained standing at the same spot."It's fine, Ren. He's just a child. I'm sure he finds us interesting since we're new here. He wants to take us to some fun place. I'll be right back after I check it out," Leia said casually. At that, Renee could only stand where she was and wait. That pregnant woman and the children around her kept staring at her strangely. At the same time, they also kept gesticulating and grinning, making her uneasy. After a while, Renee heard Leia's excited voice. "Ren, come here! There's something nice!"Renee, uneasy staying where she was and being stared at by the others, felt that it might be better if she checked out what Leia was doing. At the very least, it would alleviate her worries. She followed the sound and walked over. Leia wasn't

    Leia grinned, optimistic.Finally, she got the yellow durian and screamed at Renee excitedly. "Ren, I got it! Get away, it might fall on you." "Uh, what are you doing?" Renee asked."I'm throwing it down, duh! I can't keep carrying it since there are so many thorns on it!""Didn't you just pick it? That's not very nice, right?" "What's wrong? We'll pay them later. This orchard should belong to the Jenkinses. I'll make my brother pay for it. Given his status among the Jenkinses, I think it's fine for us to take the durian.""Okay, be careful," Renee said, finding found Leia's words reasonable. Leia was the playful sort who wouldn't stop even if she couldn't get the durian. Renee stepped aside to let her enjoy her fun.The durian dropped from a height of more than sixty feet. Luckily, it just cracked a little when it fell on the ground and didn't get ruined. "Okay, you got the durian. Can you get down now?" Renee said, trying to coax Leia to get down from the tree the way sh

    "No!" Renee's heart skipped a beat. She pounced on the boy without hesitation. The laws at The Triangle were imperfect, with various forces trying to grab power from each other. Many places were full of soldiers and armed civilians. Child soldiers were common as well. The gun in the boy's hand was most probably authentic. When Renee saw him aim the gun at Leia, who was on the top of the tree, she couldn't take the risk. The boy suddenly started crying.Renee exerted herself when she pounced on the boy, pushing him to the ground roughly. Coincidentally, there was a rock there. It injured the boy's forehead, which started bleeding. "What are you doing?! Why did you take out a gun? Do you know what'll happen if you fired that?" Renee rebuked him solemnly, ignoring his bleeding forehead. She snatched his gun."Thieves! Robbers! I'm going to shoot and kill you!" the boy cried profusely. His voice seemed to echo in the whole fort as he kicked Renee and tried to beat her up. He wa

    "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

    "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
