Chapter 493

Author: Mizuki Sei
William was quite weak now. He found it hard to stand, so he leaned his head against Leia's shoulders.

He had long known that he had committed an unforgivable crime, and it was no longer possible for him to be with Leia. Hence, he was determined to die. He just wanted to see and hug her one last time.

He had consumed a strong poison before meeting her. Now the poison started to take effect.

"Leia, this is what I deserve. I regret many things, but the one thing I don't regret is getting to know you. I have no regrets now that I can die in your arms..."

William spoke intermittently. He exhausted his last effort to hug Leia as long as he could.

Leia's eyes became red as she said fiercely to him, "William Jones, you're just a cunning man. What tricks do you want to pull now? A sympathy-getting ploy, isn't it? I won't believe you!

"I’ll count to three. Tell me where Adie is right away. If not, you're going to suffer. Three, two..."

Renee was sitting quite far from them, so she

    She knew that he was not dead. He was so tough, even tougher than cats with nine lives. How could he just die like that? Renee learned from the waiter that Stefan had left from the side door. So she wanted to run after him through the side door immediately... "Ah! Someone's dead!" Someone pointed at William, who fell to the floor motionlessly and screamed. Most of the people in the restaurant dispersed in fear. However, some bolder people surrounded the scene. "William, you scumbag! Stop pretending you're dead. I won't believe you. I'm warning you. Get up now!" Leia was so scared that her face turned pale. Her hands trembled as she ceaselessly pushed the man who was lying on the floor. Renee realized that something was wrong, so she came back from the side door. "What's wrong?" Renee pushed the crowd aside. She frowned and asked with a low voice. Someone pointed at Leia and accused her loudly, "This woman is a murderer. She's been slapping this handsome man just now

    The side door led directly to the beach, and the sea breeze blew at the surface of the ocean, sending waves against the beach. It was now late at night, so it was rather dim at the beach. There were not many people around, just a few couples taking walks. Renee stepped on the uneven beach sand. Her large, clear eyes scanned the coastline back and forth quickly. The sea breeze made her hair messy and ruffled the hem of her white dress, revealing her slender legs. She was like a succubus running wildly in the dark. There was a different touch of charm to her... Renee looked around for a long time, but it was to no avail. Her excitement gradually turned into disappointment. She cursed inwardly, "Stefan, damn it! Are you playing hide-and-seek with me? How childish!" She suddenly felt that she was a bit foolish, and she wanted to stop the game now. After all, he would appear one day if he was still alive. While dwelling on that, she bent down and dusted off the sand on her c

    Renee grimaced and hurriedly let Julian go. Then, she got up and made herself look presentable. She said coldly, "Are you saying you made that glass of Blue Flame earlier?"Julian looked nonchalant as he remained seated on the beach sand. Julian propped his arms and looked up and Renee. Then, he asked in reply, "What? Did you think Stefan made it for you?"Renee rolled her eyes coldly before shifting her gaze to the deep dark sea. She pursed her lips and said nothing.Julian explained, "Stefan made this drink for me before. I pestered him for a long time before he gave me the recipe. He said it was your creation. I found the drink interesting. The heat of vodka and the coolness of the mind are the most incompatible things. However, they created such a magical chemical reaction together… Well, it's just like you and Stefan."Renee snorted disdainfully. "You're overthinking. I didn't think much and concocted it on a whim. I didn't remember the recipe until you reminded me of it.""W

    "Me?"Renee furrowed her brows, unable to figure out Julian's plan.Renee was just a stranger to Stefan and had nothing to do with the Hunt family. How could Julian ask her for help? Julian must be overestimating her kindness. Julian continued with a grave expression. "Six months ago, I stepped down as Chief R&D Officer at KCL Holdings and sold some of my shares. KCL Holdings has changed ownership now. I heard that the new chairman is also from a technical background but is more business-minded than me. He's going to carry out a radical reform of the whole group, from all levels of staff, internal management, and external partners. I'm no longer as influential after stepping down from my position…"Renee arched her brow and said nonchalantly, "A business is like a kingdom. Changes are inevitable, even for a prosperous kingdom. So what exactly are you trying to convey?""I'm a free spirit. I love freedom and don't want to be involved in these business disputes. I don't care about

    From Julian's words, Renee could tell that Hunt Enterprise was in trouble this time. Stefan had gone missing at such a critical moment, and his fate was unknown. Even if Stefan were alive, he would probably be in a difficult situation. Even so, what did it have to do with her?The rise and fall of an empire was normal. Besides, Hunt Enterprise was the industry leader for many years. It was only normal for Hunt Enterprise to decline after so long. Even if she promised Julian to run the business in Stefan's stead, she could not restore the declining business. However, Renee was curious to know who had the guts to plot against the heir to the Hunt family twice in a row. As she thought of that, she opened her laptop and looked for information about Tristan's murder years ago.Unfortunately, there was very little information about Tristan on the internet. There was almost nothing.Renee thought the Hunt family might have specifically restricted public information to keep Tristan's

    Renee opened the door and was overjoyed to see who had arrived at her doorstep. It was none other than Aiden! "Mommy, it's been a long time. I miss you so much! Hug me!"The handsome little Aiden opened his arms towards Renee calmly. He was neat and clean. He seemed safe and did not fall into the wrong hands earlier.Aiden's arrival took Renee by surprise, but soon anger filled her. She crossed her arms and began to lecture Adie with a stern face. "Adie. Did you have a lot of fun before coming to me?""I was only away from Sun Island for a short time. How dare you? Did you think we wouldn’t be worried? Were you trying to make me angry?""Hey, Mommy. Calm down. I'm back now…" Aiden shrugged indifferently. He expertly jumped into Renee's arms and put on the most innocent and cute look on his face. He looked at Renee with his big, shiny eyes and blinked adorably. "Mommy, you know me well. What's there to worry about? You're getting too worked up... But I know that's because you l

    Aiden behaved this time. He knew Renee was furious, so he listened to her orders obediently. Aiden got down on his knees at once and held out his hands cooperatively. He faced Renee's anger calmly. "Mommy, go ahead. You should calm down after hitting me. Don't stay angry. Anger is bad for your health. It's okay for me to be in pain.""You're still being slick, aren't you?"Renee got furious and hit Aiden's palm with the ruler. She questioned with a stern tone, "Do you know what you did wrong yet?"It was a painful hit. A red mark immediately emerged on Aiden's tender skin. Even so, Aiden remained strong. Although his eyes were full of tears, he did not cry out. He raised his chin and said stubbornly, "I didn't do wrong. What's wrong with protecting Mommy?""Adie!" Renee was so angry that she hit Aiden with the ruler again, harder than the previous time.Renee had no other choice as the little one was getting more and more disobedient each day. She could barely control him anymor

    Renee had previously mentioned to Liam about wanting to see Hunt Enterprise's design for the G6 Chip phone. After all, this phone was important to Hunt Enterprise. The revolutionary new phone would stir the entire technology industry. Once launched, it must only succeed and not fail.Renee wanted to see what Hunt Enterprise had done with the phone design apart from using the G6 Chip provided by KCL Holdings as the core selling point. She wondered if there were any other revolutionary designs.However, high-level business secrets as such were usually well-protected. Stealing it was no small feat. Had Aiden really brought her the design?!If he had, it would be a real relief for her. She must hug the little one and kiss him a few times.Aiden opened his briefcase and took out the document he had sneakily slipped in earlier. He handed it to Renee with a proud look on his face. "Mommy, I'm great, aren't I? You're welcome!"Renee's eyes immediately lit up. She could not wait to see the

    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
