Renee tidied herself up quickly, wanting to leave. ‘Oh, right. I released Miss Milfordst night, so she


    should be safe by now. Why don’t you try to contact her to see if she’s okay?”


    “There is no need for that” Stefan, no longer exuding his usual cold and intense aura, looked very


    rxed. He took off his jacket and threw it onto the chaise lounge casually, leaving only a white shirt


    partially covering his perfect muscr body.


    Renee’s heart fluttered seeing this, and she gulped subconsciously.


    The man then took off his valuable diamond watch and put it on the table. He propped his long arm on


    the edge of the table, and said lightly, “My mother arrived in Beach Cityst night, and should be having


    afternoon tea with her friend now.”


    “She arrivedst night?” Renee was confused. “Then why did you go to the Baldwin residence so early


    in the morning?”


    Stefan looked up and met her gaze, the corner of his lips curving into a yful smirk. “What do you


    think?”


    “I…” She bit her lip, her heart pounding in her chest. His passionate gaze was like a fire that burned


    her. She shook her head vigorously and growled, “I don’t know what you’re thinking, but this is thest


    bit of kindness I can offer to the Hunt family. Did you even think of what would happened to me when


    you dragged me away like that? I’m probably now on the Baldwin family’s hit list, all thanks to you!”


    Although the Baldwin family had strict family rules and was very unwavering, all the members of the


    Baldwin family had been very kind to her. Everyone in the household had treated her like a treasure,


    but they were probably so disappointed and angry that she just followed their enemy unhesitatingly!


    “The Baldwin family and I wouldn’t have gotten into such a stalemate at all if you did note and


    mess things up. You really screwed me over this time!”


    ‘Is that so?” His gaze, tinged with frost, was like a sharp knife cutting through her skin. The man was


    both hot and cold! “Are you ming me for ruining your rtionship with Justin and destroying your


    n to be the future mistress of the Baldwin family?”


    ‘What the heck?’ Renee stared at him in bewilderment. This jealousy waspletely unlike him!


    She raised her chin and said defiantly, ‘Am I such a cheap person in your eyes that I must be interested


    in a man if I talk to him? You’re too narrowminded!”


    Renee was like a proud swan, and after tidying herself up, she continued, ‘I have told you very clearly


    that I, Renee Everheart, am an independent individual. I have my own thoughts, and I’m not a toy for


    you and the Baldwin family to fight over. If you want to fight, leave me out of it. I still have things to do,


    so goodbye!”


    Stefan stared at the woman’s beautiful figure as she turned around, then asked softly, “If you really did


    not care, why did you shield me from the gun back in the Baldwin residence? Don’t you think you’re


    being contradictory?”

    Renee was stunned and didn’t know what to say.


    He was right. No matter how harsh her words were, her instinctual actions had exposed her true


    feelings.


    How could she not care? How could she just watch him die? That wasn’t the kind of person she was!


    Stefan moved closer to Renee, his expression serious. “I was not joking when I said that I want to


    remarry you. Think about it.”
