“Stefan, put me down. We’re not that close with each other!” Renee said as she struggled to break free


    from the man.


    She was embarrassed that she couldn’t beat him despite her skills and reputation.


    “Stop moving. You’re hurt.” Stefan shot back with a poker face as he carried her to the bathroom.


    She was as light as a feather, which stirred a huge urge in him to protect her.


    Renee was a little speechless. Her arm was only slightly injured. It wasn’t like she had broken her leg


    or waist that she couldn’t care for herself. She became worried when she saw that he had not intended


    to leave after he had ced her inside the bathtub.


    “Stefan, you’re not really going to shower me, right? I’m warning you, don’t you dare take advantage of


    me!”


    A sly smile appeared on the man’s face after he had ced her inside the bathtub. His slender finger


    hooked underneath her chin, and he asked, “What if I want to? After all, the bathtub is huge. It has


    enough space for two people.”


    “No!” Renee shouted with a red face.


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    She had no idea the cold man she used to adore had such a perverted side to him. Those who seemed


    normal on the surface were really twisted on the inside!


    “Stefan, don’t you dare do anything to me. Or else I’ll call the police!”


    “Call them. I’d like to see what the police would say about a husband and wife bathing together.”


    As he spoke, he turned on the faucet. At the same time, he opened two of the buttons of his shirt,


    showing off his perfect abs.


    He leaned closer to her and said hoarsely, “Since we’re going to get a divorce soon, let’s have ast


    bath together. Won’t it feel like a farewell ceremony?”


    He was seducing her openly!


    Renee clenched her fist quietly and thought, ‘Since the police couldn’t do anything about it, I’ll have to


    solve it alone!’


    Although her arm was injured, she was still capable of beating Stefan.


    The tub quickly filled up with water. They leaned in closer gradually, and the ambiance seemed


    affectionate.


    Just as she was about to strike him, he suddenly stood up and looked down at her. “You’re so stupid!”


    His slender fingers skimmed through the water, and he flicked the water on her delicate face. “I’m not


    that desperate to vite a patient! I’ll wait for you outside. Call me anytime you need me.”


    With that, Stefan left the bathroom and gently closed the door.


    Seeing this, Renee breathed a sigh of relief. She had overthought things earlier, hadn’t she?


    Stefan would never have the desire for her. He was ying with her earlier. In the past four years of


    their rtionship, they were only intimate once, and it happened because they were drunk at that time.


    “You’re overthinking,” she told herself.


    The whole bathroom grew misty and warm as the temperature rose due to the hot water. Renee


    crossed her delicate legs over the tub after removing her clothes and satfortably while listening to


    music with her eyes closed.


    Stefan sat on the sofa, his legs crossed, reading the newspaper. His aura exuded a sense of nobility.


    As predicted, the charity night event made the newspaper’s front page, with Renee and him as the


    main focus.


    The four individuals who tried to murder him had been apprehended, ording to the newspaper.


    Among them was a male dressed as a woman, which exined how they got into the event.


    During these years, the Hunt family made many achievements and enemies. As the only sessor of


    the family, Stefan became the target of many.


    He still remembered that Renee advised him not to do so before he went up on stage.


    ‘Could she know something about it?’


    But he shook the thought off as he remembered she was only an innocent woman.


    He was prepared to ask her about it after she was done bathing, but Elijah called, and his voice was


    solemn as he spoke, “Mr. Hunt, there’s news from the police. The four individuals hade clean and


    said the same people who tried to kill you in Newrest three months ago hired them.”


    “What?” Sterfan’s gaze turned cold, and he sat up straight, stunned.


    ‘Wasn’t the attack three months ago caused by local riots? If it had been deliberately started by


    enemies… Tristan’s death was not an ident, but nned?’


    “As to who is the man behind all these, they refused to confess. How are you feeling now? If you’re a


    bit better, I suggest you attend their hearing, after all-”


    Bang!


    A loud noise suddenly came from the bathroom.
