Chapter 341

Renee's flight left at eight at night from Harborview Airport, and she packed a small suitcase before heading over.Due to a delay at work, she was sweating all over as she had to hurry, arriving on the hour.Fortunately, the journey had been smooth, and she managed to reach the terminal just before it closed.As she sat down on her first-class seat and was busy wiping her sweat, as well as fixing her makeup, someone suddenly handed her a bottle of water. "Would you like a drink?""Thank you," Renee replied, thinking it was an air steward, until she looked up and saw that family face.She froze in surprise but soon chuckled. "Hehe… What a coincidence, Mr. Zeller."She took the bottle and took a small sip before turning to look outside the window, muttering under her breath, "Well, the jig's up.""Not a coincidence. I'm sure we're both here for Alison," Jasper said bluntly.Renee simply flashed a smile that didn't reach her eyes.And before she could start, Jasper cut her short

Even as Candy was talking to Renee, she was looking around and soon exclaimed, "Oh, Mr. Zeller! What a coincidence—what brings you here?"She was sure that Jasper would definitely come to Jormund with Renee and quickly booked a flight along with them. As she had worked in air traffic before, she could ask a friend to look into which flight Jasper and Renee were boarding beforehand.Jasper's glare was cold behind his shades as he looked at Candy, but he nodded politely.Walking up to Renee, he asked, "Do you need a ride?""Nope." Renee promptly put an arm around Candy's shoulder, using her as a shield. "We're staying at a hotel.""Alright. I'm going now," Jasper said and left, while his bodyguards picked up his suitcase.Candy held her palm high as she waved her goodbye, calling out, "See you, Mr. Zeller!"He never responded.-The car Alison arranged for Renee was already waiting outside the airport, and after making a call, Renee got into the car with Candy."Stilton Hotel

Chapter 343

Still, Alison's phone rang just as she kept complaining.Turning and seeing that it was Ben, she handily answered, "Hey—""Help!!! Allie, I'm being kidnapped—Mmph!""Hello?! Ben?! Ben?!"Alison panicked when she heard Ben crying for help on the other end and promptly grabbed Renee's arm. "Sorry, Renee! Ben's been kidnapped—I have to help him!""Calm down!" Renee caught her wrist in turn, calm enough to quickly process the issue. "Ben has no friends or family here in Jormund, let alone enemies… The only one who would do it is your brother, and I don't think it's all that bad.""B-But Jasper is going to kill him!" Alison cried anxiously. "No… I need to talk to him!""Sure," Renee replied while nodding, returning to the couch and not intending to stop that.As Alison started toward the door, she turned again to find Renee staying on the couch, as calm as a cucumber. Flustered, she asked, "Is it really okay if I don't talk to Jas?""Ben can sort it out himself," Renee calmly rep

Luke held up a thumbs-up at him. "Haha! That makes sense!'-Ten minutes or so later, Renee's cab arrived at New Winds Plaza.When she alighted on the curb, she looked around idly, taking in the bustling sights of the city.That was when she saw a middle-aged man, wearing a pair of frameless glasses and a green T-shirt, who was making a call under a tree nearby.It was just one road between them, but Renee's eyes widened, her pupils dilating when she had a clear sight of his face.Dumbfounded, she murmured, "Dad…?"She broke off into a dash toward the opposite side of the road right then!Honk!!!A car came bounding down, its horn trumpeting.Fortunately, it only nudged Renee and sent her stumbling a couple of steps.The driver quickly lowered his window and bellowed, "Are you fucking blind?! Running out into the middle of traffic?! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"Renee promptly apologized repeatedly, "I'm so sorry—it was an accident…"She then turned and saw that

Renee smiled in turn. "Care to recommend some fun places in Jormund? I could use a stroll since I have time."Luke was just about to speak when he saw his boss glaring at him in the backseat and felt a chill down his spine. "Well, Mr. Zeller will be free the next couple of days too, so he can be your tour guide. He's a local too, so he'd be really familiar with Jormund."Renee simply flashed a smile that didn't reach her eyes.She was well aware that Jasper wasn't local—did he even have to mention that?Still, she sighed in exasperation as she remembered how Alison hugged her arm and pleaded, "Bestie, I'm begging you—can't you find out where Ben is, even if it means you have to sleep with him? Please, I really can't live without Ben. That's how much he matters to me."Renee sympathized, as Alison was pregnant and mustn't be put through too much shock.Most importantly, Renee would like to get to know Ben as well and understand how great he was to completely bewitch Alison."Mr.

Renee was naturally courteous, considering who Nana was to Jasper, and how Jasper behaved around her.Getting up and shaking Nana's hand, she said, "Nice to meet you. I'm Renee.""Oh, that's a nice name—and you're pretty." Nana was candid and praiseful, but she soon added, "I also forgot to tell you that I'm his fiancee, but any friend of Jas is a friend of mine. Why don't we exchange numbers? It's so you can come to me instead, no matter what it is.""Stop it!" Jasper growled, clearly annoyed."What?" Nana shrugged. "Your grandfather agreed to it. Are you suddenly saying it doesn't count?"Then, turning to Renee, she pouted. "You have to help me out here. Jas used to tell me he loved me and was going to marry me, and he even asked his grandfather to agree to it. His grandfather agreed to it, but he's changing his mind now—it's all his fault, don't you think?"Renee's mind was blank as she stared at Jasper, unsure how to respond.She used to think Jasper and Yvie were way too cl

"Let go of me! I can leave on my own!" Nana snorted proudly as she knocked Luke's hand away, while furiously glancing between Jasper and Renee.Stamping her feet, she then turned to leave.Still, she stopped a few steps away, whipping out her phone to take a photo of Renee and send it to Quincy.Luke sighed in relief as he watched her disappear into the distance.Meanwhile, Renee poured herself a drink and was just taking a sip when she met Jasper's gaze.She smiled faintly but said nothing, while the smile somehow stung Jasper.Glowering, he said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. I'm not interested in brats."Seeing that she kept smiling and was clearly skeptical, he continued, "She's a distant relative who was always clinging to me as a child. There was this one time when she got sick, and she clung to my hand and demanded I marry her."I ignored her, so she threw a fit and refused to take her medicine until the old man forced me to give in. And that was when she really got per

While it sounded like an exaggeration, it wasn't entirely one either.Lotus Club was member-exclusive, and the average Joe could work a couple of decades but still not afford the cheapest membership.Still, Renee told Candy, "Mr. Zeller's the one you should thank."Candy promptly turned toward Jasper, flashing her pearly whites in what she thought to be her best smile. "Thank you, Mr. Zeller!""I could bring you over whenever you like," a man with short grayish hair said nearby.Although Jasper only called Conrad and Caspian, both men brought more friends—the more, the merrier."Yo! If it isn't Mr. Zeller. What a coincidence!" a mild-mannered man spoke as he approached from nearby.Everyone turned toward the man wearing a white suit and white pants right then, with Renee's eyes lighting up. "Teach? Is that really you?"The man turned toward her just then and smiled as he studied her from head to toe. "Renee? Oh, it really is you. Long time no see—you've never changed at all."

Renee nodded. "Yes.""Then let's exchange numbers. It's rare for you to come to Jormund, so I could take you sightseeing tomorrow."As he spoke, Randy whipped out his phone and flashed his contact QR code. "Here, scan this."Renee had no reason to refuse, but even as she quickly did so, she felt a chill down her spine for some reason.Ding.As her phone jingled, signallying that she had added him, Randy nodded and waved his phone at them. "Gotcha. Save my number, and I'll call you later."Renee was just going to invite Randy to sit with them since he knew Jasper, but considering that she had an agenda, she didn't do so.Candy greeted Randy just then. "Mr. Paul! Do you remember me? I'm Candy."As Candy and Renee were neighbors, she was there whenever Renee had piano practice and therefore recognized Randy.Still, Randy only noticed Candy when she greeted him, and he didn't recognize her.After all, he had met many people, and not everyone was worth remembering.Noticing the c

Candy promptly agreed. "Yes, yes, yes! Truth or Dare is the most fun, and it's especially exciting with so many people here!""Wait, no…" All Renee felt was a headache, as she just wanted to get Jasper drunk.It would have been too obvious to get Jasper drunk at the restaurant, which was why she had asked to move here, only for him to bring so many others.And Caspian had to suggest Truth or Dare.That said, it might work in her favor too—if Jasper lost, wouldn't it make sense for her to just ask?"Oh, Renee, come on! It'll be fun!" Candy pouted, tugging on her arm. "It's just so boring without you!"Unable to argue against Candy's insistence, Renee nodded and agreed to play.The six of them started by rolling the dice, and as Caspian won, he spun the bottle, and it somehow had to end up pointing at Renee.Chuckling, Caspian promptly asked, "Ms. Whitley, do you like Jasper?"It was suddenly so silent one could hear a pin drop as Renee sat, petrified.Heaven knew how dense Cas
