“I was wondering who the person that has been constantly sniffing for my traces over the years was!


    That IP was like a virus, I intercepted it time and time again. So it was you… my savior.”


    Renee’s red lips curled into a smile as she looked at her old friend.


    Who knew that there was still an old friend in the vast Beach City who still cared about her. She was


    touched.


    ‘You call me your savior, but you hid from me for four years, making me worry about you for four years.


    Is your heart made of stone?”


    Seeing the woman who had be more charming, more attractive, and more elusive than before,


    Xavier’s emotions wereplicated.


    After all, this was the woman who once made his heart race and the woman he risked his life to save.


    Even if it was impossible between them, she still held an important spot in his heart.


    Rather than saying that he and Stefan had searched almost every corner of the world for Renee all


    these years, it would be more appropriate to call it his personal obsession.


    Stefan had long given up on finding Renee. It was Xavier who tried any method he could think of to


    look for Renee like a man possessed.


    Some time ago, when he learned that Renee had returned to Beach City, he was already looking


    forward to meeting her, but the opportunity never arose.


    Who could have known they would reunite under such circumstances?


    “Let’s talk about something more serious. Do you know what the top executives of H Group are


    thinking? Why are they appointing an ipetent guy like Jovan Hunt as CEO? Are they trying to


    destroy thepany?”


    Renee changed the topic. She wanted to see if she could extract some useful information from Xavier.


    Xavierzily leaned back on the seat and crossed his legs. He looked at Jovan, who was sitting on the


    stage, with a strange smile. “Who knows? Stefan told me before that the H Group may seem


    impregnable from the outside, but it has actually started to rot on the inside. Various factions are


    constantly fighting against each other. The situation is as intense as the political struggles in the


    ancient empires. Maybe Jovan is just the dog of a certain faction. While Stefan’s power is weakened,


    they push Jovan out to be their puppet, just like the puppet leaders in ancient history. He may seem


    powerful, but he’s just a puppet, so he’s actually powerless!”


    Renee immediately noticed the key point. She asked, “Are you sure Stefan is just weakened?”


    ‘What else could it be?”


    “Haven’t you paid any attention to the rumors?”


    Renee carefully probed, “The rumors say Stefan’s already dead. The Hunt family ims he’s dead too.


    They’ve even chosen a grave for him and are just waiting for a suitable day to hold the funeral now,


    so…”

    “Are you saying that Stefan is dead?’


    Xavier turned to look at Renee. His smile deepened.


    “Isn’t he? Don’t tell me he’s still alive?”


    “Honestly, I don’t know. I haven’t received any news from him for many days. It’s like he’spletely


    vanished from the world…”


    Xavier let out a long sigh, then asked Renee, “But I’m curious. Do you wish him to be dead or alive?”


    Renee, who talked like a chatterbox a moment ago, suddenly went quiet.


    Xavier would not let it rest. He sat upright, looked her right in the eye, and asked, “We’re good friends,


    aren’t we? Then tell me this – You two parted on bad terms and you disappeared for four years, but


    now you’ve suddenlye back. Did youe back to start over with him?”


    “No way!”


    Renee said coldly, “The first reason I came back is because Beach City is the hometown I grew up in,


    so I have feelings for this city. The second reason is because I want to take back the things I lost. I


    want to redeem the Everheart family’s tarnished reputation and make the Everheart family one of the


    eight major families in Beach City again. I want to make the people who once hurt the Everheart family


    pay!”


    Her gaze was fierce and tenacious. She was like a thorny rose, beautiful and captivating, but


    dangerous.


    ‘Tsk tsk, how ambitious. But are you really gonnapete with those ruthless and cunning old foxes


    for territory? I’m afraid a weak woman like you will be eaten alive before you can even get into the


    game…”


    Xavier expressed concern for Renee.


    Although he had seen what she could do, it would not be easy to bring a downfallen family back to


    glory. Out of the eight major families in Beach City today, which one could she afford to mess with?


    She, a lone woman, wanted to carve out a ce for herself? It would be extremely difficult!
