Chapter 453

Author: Mizuki Sei
Margaret walked into Abigail's small bedroom and called the little girl, who was still lying in her tiny pink bed.

"Hmm… I'll talk to her another day. I want to sleep."

Abigail curled up and retreated into her blanket.

She knew that Renee would interrogate her sternly, but she promised Aiden that she would never expose his whereabouts. She could offend neither, so… she chose to hide.

"Abby, be good. Your mommy has to ask you something very important. Come out now!"

Margaret tried to persuade the small bundle that was balled up under the sheets.

"No, I'm sleepy, and I want to sleep! Tell Mommy to call later!"

After that, Abigail made snoring noises and softly said, "I'm sleeping, so I can't hear you guys."

Margaret appeared slightly awkward. She tried her best to pull aside the blanket that Abigail was under, but the little girl had wrapped herself as tightly as a burrito. Consequently, Margaret failed to pull it aside.

After a few failed attempts, she was so exhausted

    Those two troublemakers were so bold! "Abigail Everheart, just you... wait and see. I'll get your brother back now. I think it's been too long since I taught you guys a hard lesson. You’ve become so bold and fearless!" Renee was so angry that she lost her rationality. She then clenched her fists in front of the phone and cracked her knuckles. Abigail blinked her large, round eyes. She looked naive and innocent. "Mommy, didn't you promise you wouldn't get mad? Your nose will grow longer if you lie, and you'll age faster too. If you want to teach us a lesson, you'd better hit Adie. I'll lend you a ruler." "You didn't tell me what you know, and you tried to hide it from me. Of course, you guys deserve a beating!" Renee wished she could jump into the screen and give Abigail a proper beating for treating Renee like a fool all this time! Alas! Her son and daughter were extremely witty. They were a handful. Aiden had an extremely high IQ, while Abigail had an extremely high EQ.

    "That seems to be the case." Leia nodded. In comparison, she seemed much calmer, as if she was used to that kind of incident. "Are you sure that a four-year-old kid came to Beach City alone?" "Technically, he's four years and three months old." "But... How is that possible? He's a four-year-old kid. How did he do that? Why are you so calm? Aren't you worried that he may meet bad guys?" "It's abnormal for such things to happen to other four-year-olds, but not Adie. It's not the first time he did such a thing. Previously, he would run away from time to time. His mother would catch him and teach him a hard lesson, but consequently... he became better and more skillful at running away. It's so hard to stop him from doing that. Ren can't do anything about him!" Leia appeared proud when she mentioned her genius godson. She confidently said, "What's more, you don’t have to worry that he'll be bullied. He's quite capable and amazing. They'll be pretty lucky if he doesn't torture th

    When Renee and Liam arrived at the headquarters of Hunt Enterprise, the oppressed employees soon broke into an uproar. It was because Hunt Enterprise's experienced employees of more than four years were well aware of the heart-wrenching love affair between Renee and their president. All of them supported the love they named "Hunt My Everheart." "She's here. I think about it and have yearned for it for four years. Finally, Ms. Everheart is back. I know that the couple I supported is real!" "Oh, gosh! Ms. Everheart became prettier, and her body became sexier. Her temperament is outstanding too. I feel that Mr. Hunt doesn't deserve her..." "Mr. Hunt has been missing for a long time, and Hunt Enterprise is quite chaotic now. Has Ms. Everheart come out of nowhere to take over Hunt Enterprise?" The employees whispered to each other. On the one hand, they were surprised at her great charms; on the other, they tried to guess her purpose for visiting Hunt Enterprise suddenly. Rene

    Lisa was an outspoken woman. She peeked at Liam and said stubbornly, "I'm sorry. I work for Mr. Hunt. Why should I take orders from a nobody like you?" Lisa was not the only one—all the employees in Hunt Enterprise found Liam an eyesore. He was regarded as the greatest culprit who wrecked the love affair between Renee and Stefan. They wanted nothing but to drive him away. Renee took a deep breath and tried her best to calm herself down. She gently told Lisa, "Please ask that security guard to come here." Lisa nodded immediately, "Okay, Ms. Everheart. I'll call him over now." At times, Renee's command worked much better than Stefan's in Hunt Enterprise. Everyone obeyed her without question. That was the great charm of her personality. The security guard came to the lobby of the company after a while. When he saw Renee, he got down on his knees immediately and hurriedly said, "Ms. Everheart, I know nothing. I just acted kindly and brought the kid to the lounge to rest, but

    "Jovan?" Renee glared at the handsome man who walked into the technical department. She soon frowned and was on guard. Jovan Hunt was not somebody to be trifled with. When Renee was still Mrs. Hunt, he was the first person who could not accept her title, often tricking her both openly and secretly. He was the grandson of Timothy's brother. Hence, he was considered Stefan's younger cousin. He had always been in charge of Hunt Enterprise's foreign business, which left Renee to wonder why he had suddenly returned to Beach City. "M-Mr. Hunt!" Lisa and the other employees quickly bowed their heads, and they did not even dare to breathe as if they had just seen the grim reaper. So, it was clear that Jovan was quite respected and influential in Hunt Enterprise even though he was always the second in command. "Renee, it's been so many years. You look stunning..." Jovan was wearing a dark, distinguished, and customized suit. He had both hands in his pockets as his gaze lingered

    However, Renee could save herself the trouble since Jovan offered to help. Besides, Stefan had always been cautious and held the authorization of Hunt Enterprise strictly. He had never treated his cousin kindly. His sudden generosity in giving up all his authorization to such an unreliable person, however, made Renee wonder if he was just careless or if something else had happened. She knew for a fact that Hunt Enterprise held a key role in the survival issue of Azure Group. Hence, she planned to use that chance to fleece Jovan of the truth. After all, Jovan looked like a fool, and he might just expose everything after a casual trick. "I can help you, but I have a small request," Jovan cracked a complicated smile and said gradually. Renee appeared composed. "Just tell me." "I want you to accompany me for one night." As soon as he made that request, everyone on the spot inhaled sharply and let out gasps. He did not regard Stefan seriously at all. Liam got so furiou

    The surveillance video switched to a scene from Peppa Pig after Aiden walked into the president's exclusive elevator. Peppa Pig played for over an hour before the surveillance video was restored to it's original scene. They could not find Aiden at all in the original scene. It appeared that someone had deliberately exchanged that part for the clip from Peppa Pig. "What happened? Did someone hack into the surveillance system of the presidential zone?" "Hunt Enterprise's security system has always been solid, but it was hacked this time around, and we're humiliated as such. Our enemy must be badass... it seems like the boy is in danger!" "No, the technical department has to form an emergency team right away, and we'll need to make a report to the cybercrime division to help investigate this case. It won't be easy dealing with them!" All the employees in the technical department stared at the scene of Peppa Pig on the screen with panicked expressions. They were all at their high

    When Jovan heard this, it sounded to him like somebody had finally pressed the start button for a long-awaited game. Obviously, he was very excited. "Don't worry. I'm not a pervert or a weirdo. I won't force you to do anything weird. You only need to accompany me to a certain place and spend some time there.""If you're not a pervert, then perverts don't exist in the world!" Liam couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed Jovan by the collar and pinned him against the wall. "Jovan, you've never been a good person. I can tell you've been eyeing her for a long time. I'm warning you. If you lay a finger on her, I'll kill you!" Liam growled."What's the point of warning me? If you have what it takes, kill me now," Jovan replied.He allowed Liam to press him against the wall. "What a pity. Without her permission, you wouldn't even dare lay a finger on me, right? There are rumors that you two have a close relationship, you know? However, in my opinion, you're nothing but her slave. What's there

    "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
