Stefan was so angry that he wanted to choke Elijah to death. He narrowed his eyes and hissed, “How


    could she just vanish into thin air? That’s ridiculous!”


    “Right? We’ve tried searching all we could but failed to track Miss Everheart’s whereabouts… By the


    way, Miss Everheart’s nanny Margaret disappeared along with her…”


    Elijah sighed repeatedly and apologized. “Mr. Hunt, I’ve tried my best, but I can’t help. If you don’t


    believe me, you’ll have to do it yourself!”


    Stefan didn’t hesitate and immediately took a private jet back to Beach City.


    Stefan firmly believed that anyone alive would leave a track of activity.’ That’s impossible. How could


    she havepletely disappeared? Unless… She’s still in Beach City!’ thought Stefan. He did not mind


    using all the power he had to find her.


    Stefan sent more men to search all of Beach City. He also had Christopher and Xavier use whatever


    method they could to search for her.


    Xavier had recovered by this time and was discharged from the hospital. He then joined Christopher


    and met Stefan at the Hunt Vi.


    “Any news?” Stefan asked as he hurried to Christoper and Xavier, who had been waiting in the living


    room.


    Christoper and Xavier exchanged nces and shook their heads in unison.


    “Stefan, what happened between you two? Why did she leave again?” Xavier asked, frowning. Renee


    had risked her life to save him, but she disappeared before he could even thank her. This made him a


    little guilty.


    “It’s a long story. Stop wasting time and find her!”

    Stefan was in no mood for small talk. He just wanted to find Renee quickly. Where in the world was she


    hiding?


    “A long story? At least tell us something…”


    Christopher was the calmest among the three. He patted Stefan’s shoulder lightly and said, “We need


    to know what happened to solve the issue.


    Otherwise, we’ll be wasting our time searching everywhere and getting nothing in return.”


    “Chris is right. We don’t even know what happened. Where do we find her? It’ll be a waste of time!”


    Xavier was upset and said in slight annoyance, “Stefan, what’s wrong with you? You seem like a


    changed man. What are you doing? This is not cool. If you made her angry, you should apologize and


    coax her sincerely. What’s the point of searching for her everywhere like this?”


    “You should tell us. Why did she leave without saying goodbye? There must be a reason, right?”


    Stefan took a deep breath and said with a cold gaze, “Because I almost choked her to death. I told her


    not to appear in front of me again.”


    “What?”


    Xavier and Christopher were stunned.


    Xavier almost fell off the chair in shock. He argued with Stefan immediately, “Stefan, are you crazy?


    You’re a man. How could you hurt her like that? That’s domestic violence. Obviously, she had a reason


    to run away! Did you expect her to stay? You might’ve killed her!”


    Xavier was very agitated because he had begun to acknowledge Renee without realizing it. Renee was


    such a strong, independent, clear-minded, and brave woman. Not only that, but she was also cute and


    beautiful.


    However, his dearest friend almost choked her to death. How could he ept that?!


    Just as Xavier was about to punch Stefan for Renee’s sake, Stefan added,” Because Renee pushed


    Briar down and killed my brother’s only child.”


    “W-what?” Xavier’s fist stopped midair. He could barely understand Stefan’s words. “Briar? Your


    brother’s child? What the hell is going on?!”
