"Uh, I didn't see anything. Please continue!"Renee covered her eyes and backed into the bedroom.Only then did Xavier let go of Leia. He looked a little embarrassed. "Why is she here, too? You could've told me.""I would have, if you gave me the chance," Leia replied with a frown.She was getting worked up a little, but she forced herself to stay calm.After all this time with Xavier, and even when he had professed his love countless times, she still felt that his feelings for her weren't the same as for Renee or Shirley.One was natural affection, while the other was just out of convenience.The more she thought about it, the more she realized that staying apart was the wisest choice. It would at least stop the emotional drain."I'm not joking. I really chose to break up with you, and I want you to take it seriously. Respect me. Don't make me hate you," Leia said firmly after taking a deep breath."Are you sure?" Xavier's expression returned to normal, but his gaze turned sl

For the past two days, Renee and Leia had been staying together.Two girls who had once been in stable relationships, then drained by love, found themselves single again. Looking back, they realized that none of it was really that big of a deal.You didn't die without a man. If anything, you slowly found yourself again.Because of Sadler, Renee had uncovered the mastermind who had been working against Azure Group all along. It turned out to be Jovan, who had disappeared for years.Jovan openly stated that he was willing to offer Renee his absolute loyalty, even if it meant standing against the Hunt family and Stefan.At first, Renee refused. She looked down on beating Stefan in that way. But as she watched Azure Group's market performance weaken day by day, and saw product after product being overtaken by Hunt Enterprise, her resolve began to waver."Forget it. Business is a battlefield. If there's a way to win, you shouldn't care about sentiments."After days of hesitation, Ren

Renee wasn't dumb. There was no way she couldn't hear the subtext in Jovan's words.She just didn't believe he was as noble as he made himself out to be, willing to bite a hook with no bait out of pure devotion."Any living thing makes choices based on what it wants. It's just that some motives look plain, while others seem lofty. In truth, they all come from the same deepest desires. There's no real difference."Her tone was calm and unruffled, as still as the lake in front of them.Jovan froze for a second. He then nodded in agreement. "Sharp as always, Sis. Everything in this world is an equal exchange. No one is more righteous than anyone else.""Hey, are you two here to fish, or to teach a philosophy class? All this talk is impossible to follow. Can't you make it simpler?" Leia finally couldn't take it anymore and covered her ears.There was nothing she could do. Talking to smart people was exhausting. Miss one beat, and you were lost. Listening to them was tiring, but sayin

Steve was a smart man. He obviously understood Jovan’s invitation.Still, he didn’t state his position right away. Instead, he set up his own fishing spot not far from Renee and Jovan."There really are plenty of fish in this lake. Every time I come here, I reel in some big ones. I’m the type who knows how to be grateful. Back when this place wasn’t famous yet, the first person who brought me here was the current head of Hunt Enterprise, Master Hunt himself. So naturally, I stick with him and keep fishing for the big catch," Steve said.After setting up his gear, Steve had made his stance perfectly clear.Renee was reluctant to give up and decided to push back. "Mr. Warren, that sounds a bit exaggerated. Fish are gifts from nature. What does gratitude have to do with it? Even if Master Hunt hadn’t brought you here back then, someone else would have eventually. I think whoever helps you catch more fish is the real benefactor. Don’t you agree?"Steve baited his hook, cast his line

Words like that could melt even the coldest heart.Steve, meanwhile, lit up with pure gossip-fueled delight and teased shamelessly, "Well now, who would’ve thought? The young Jovan, who's rumored to be a notorious playboy, turns out to be a hopeless romantic. Come on, spill the beans. Who exactly is this angel you’re so devoted to?"The question instantly made the atmosphere awkward.Everyone present, except Steve himself, knew perfectly well who Jovan’s so-called angel was.In fact, Steve had probably heard some rumors, too. It was just that, according to his worldview, they were a little too outrageous to believe outright. That was why he threw out the question to test whether his suspicions were true.However, the question was left hanging.Even Xavier, who was usually loose-lipped, had effectively sealed his mouth shut and didn’t dare comment.An eerie silence fell over the lakeside.Renee, Stefan, and Jovan sat in a neat row as if they had rehearsed it. Their movements wer
