“I couldn’t believe it either! I didn’t think Miss Everheart would be so cruel to Stefan, the man she truly


    loved. Her love may have turned sour, but she shouldn’t have been so cruel. Unfortunately, it was


    indeed Miss Everheart’s doing. Love can be so beautiful, yet so scary sometimes!” Seraphina sobbed,


    deliberately ndering Renee. Renee’s brother was the one who harmed them anyway, which was the


    same as Renee hurting them.


    “Stefan was reluctant to tell you for old time’s sake. Miss Everheart was the one who did it, but he did


    not want you to act impulsively and try to avenge him.” Seraphina watched Francine’s expression and


    continued to add fuel to the fire. “Also, when I went to save Stefan, Miss Everheart retaliated and hurt


    me. I…”


    Seraphina hesitated, then burst into tears.

    “Good girl, calm down. How did she hurt you? Tell me…”


    “S-She ordered a bunch of men to vite me. I almost died!” As Seraphina spoke, she lifted the hem of


    her nightgown, revealing the shocking bruises on her legs.


    “Oh, that’s terrible!” Francine shivered when she saw the marks on Seraphina’s thighs. It was obviously


    the result of multiple assaults.


    “Miss Francine, you may not believe that Miss Everheart made Stefan go blind, but this was all her


    doing. I didn’t think she would hate me this much… I don’t want to live anymore! I don’t deserve


    Stefan!”


    “Good girl, please don’t say that. You may have lost your body’s purity, but a certain someone is far


    more despicable for losing her pure heart!” Francine put her arm around Seraphina. “You and Stefan


    have suffered. I won’t let you two suffer in vain. Renee…” She said with a cold look in her eyes, “I won’t


    forgive her!”


    Francine was a little sceptical of Seraphina’s words at first as she trusted Renee’s character. However,


    Francine had no choice but to believe the story after seeing the marks on Seraphina’s body.


    “P-please, Miss Francine. Don’t take revenge on Miss Everheart. If Stefan finds out, he’ll be angry!”


    Seraphina begged.


    “Even if he’s angry or tries to sever ties with me, I must take revenge for him!” Francine clenched her


    fists and said coldly, “My son is too emotional. I thought Renee was a good and kind girl and wanted to


    get them back together… It seems I didn’t know her true colours. How could she do such a cruel


    thing?!”


    Meanwhile, at Sun Ind.


    Renee was dressed in a floral dress and had on a huge sun hat that covered her small and delicate


    face. She was lying in the hammock, feeling bored. The bright sun shone on her face as Renee


    swayed the hammock back and forth. She looked like she had been having a good time.


    Renee had been back on Sun Ind for the past few days, but felt like a visitor in her own home. It was


    quite irritating to see how Adie and Abby had already formed a new family with Xavier and Leia. They


    even went fishing early in the morning without inviting her!


    Renee was bored out of her mind. Suddenly, her brother Quinton video called her.


    “Sis, as you requested, I have sent the guy back to Hunt Vi safe and sound. When are youing


    back?”


    “We’ll see. I’m fine here,” Renee answeredzily. She was relieved to know that Stefan was safe and


    sound, but she wasn’t brave enough to go back to Beach City. She feared getting entangled with


    Stefan again.


    After all, she had sworn to God – if he lived, she would never go back to him. What if she broke the


    promise and put him in danger again? She would rather wait for him to recover first.


    “I knew you’d stall again…” Quinton shook his head affectionately. He couldn’t say no to his sister.


    Finally, he asked teasingly, “I have something nice here. Do you want to see it?”
