Chapter 925


    Renee ced her chin on her palm, leaning into her seat. She was giggling profusely, mumbling on


    and on about how she wanted to keep going.


    “Let’s go. No more drinking, or else we aren’t going to be able to get home.” Jovan snatched the beer


    bottle out of Renee’s hands, refusing to allow her to drink more. Even he was reaching his limit.


    “Say… Jovan… Do you think I ate to my heart’s content?” Renee grabbed the man’s arm, her eyes


    nk as she slurred her words.


    “Of course, you almost finished up Scarlet’s stock!”


    “Then… Did I drink to my heart’s content?”

    “What do you think? If you drink any more, you’re going to get alcohol poisoning.”


    “So can you tell me… why Stefan won’t… choose me? He… What’s his reason?” Renee stood up,


    swaying slightly on her feet. She held onto the man’s cor as she waited for his answer.


    Jovan was initially still rather tipsy, but this sobered him up. He frowned coldly. “Why are you still


    thinking about it?”


    “Of course, I am. Wouldn’t you want to know why you were abandoned?” Renee covered her face,


    sobbing into her hands.


    “Why are you men like this? He was the one who insisted on getting legally married, then he just


    disappeared! He swore to spend the rest of his life with me! How could he change so quickly?! Why is


    my love life so messed up?!”


    “You made your choice to shoot yourself in the foot. Who else can you me but yourself?” Jovan


    scoffed as he helped her out of the restaurant, standing by the road while they waited for their ride.


    “I didn’t! I really didn’t! I gave myself choices, but… they all left… They left…” Renee waved her arms


    around, clearly agitated as she recounted the people she once considered as partners. “Stefan left…


    Liam left… Even Mr. Q left! Maybe I’m cursed, that must be it!”


    “Alright, alright, I promise that I will never leave. I’ll stick to you like superglue, okay?”


    “I don’t want you though, I want Stefan… Just tell me, why is he leaving me? Didn’t you say you know


    the reason? If you don’t spill, I’ll annoy you the whole day!”


    Seeing how pained Renee’s expression was, Jovan was heartbroken and jealous, and a cruel fury


    burned in his chest. ‘Why? Why does Stefan Hunt get all her passion and love?’


    He didn’t want to be some kind of second male lead who loved and protected the female lead


    unconditionally. He was done being in Stefan’s shadow, and he was done being in second ce.


    “Do you really want to know why?” Jovan asked coldly as he held Renee firmly to keep her standing, all


    while scanning her flushed red face.


    “Mhm, I can’t sleep if I don’t.” Renee nodded drowsily, her brain foggy though she insisted on searching


    for answers.


    “Then listen up, I’m only saying this once,” Jovan said in a monotonous voice, his gaze chilling. “He’s


    doing this because of Briar Desrosiers. He’s doing this for her.”


    “Briar… Desrosiers?” Renee shuddered slightly, thenpletely passed out, as if her soul had literally


    left her body.


    Just then, a vehicle arrived at the entrance. “Hello sir, did you call for a cab? What’s your destination?”


    The man carried Renee in his arms, and looked down at her with a frigid stare. “My ce.”
