The car stopped before an antique shop.


    Renee wanted to push Jovan into the shop, but she was turned down.


    “Wait for me in the car. The driver can push me into the shop.”


    He did not want to expose the surprise he prepared for her in advance, or all his efforts would be futile.


    “Okay, I would like to see what kind of trick you will pull.”


    With deep curiosity, Renee watched the driver push Jovan into the antique shop.


    She leaned against the back seat in slight boredom. When she checked the time, it was coincidentally


    afternoon at Beach City. The two children might have gone home from school by now, so she gave her


    brother a video call.


    His brother always answered her calls within seconds. But strangely, today, he did not answer her calls


    at all. She tried repeatedly, but it yielded the same result.


    “What’s the matter?”

    A crease soon formed between her brows as a bad premonition overwhelmed her.


    She immediately called Margaret, and thetter picked it up just as quickly.


    “Miss Ren, what a coincidence! I was about to call you.”


    Simrly, Margaret had a deep frown on the other end of the phone. Anxiety was her friend now.


    “Margaret, you sound so anxious. Did… something happen?”


    “Yes, Miss Ren. I don’t know whether I should report this to you or not. Both Chase and Miss Lei asked


    me not to tell you first for fear that you’ll be worried…”


    “What’s wrong? Tell me now.”


    “It’s like this. Mr. Everheart went to the south for a business trip a week ago. He should be back two


    days ago, but he’s not back yet at the moment. The two kids miss their uncle very much, so they asked


    me to give him a video call. However, I couldn’t get in touch with him. Chase imed it was very


    normal, given their kind of business. Sometimes they need to go to ces where they can’t get in touch


    with the outside world. Hence,


    Chase asked me to patiently wait for a few days. But I feel quite worried.”


    While describing the incident, Margaret heaved a long sigh. Quinton was the descendant of the


    Everheart family, so he was the same as Renee. They were the masters that Margaret vowed to devote


    her life.


    If anything happened to them, she would not be able to answer.


    “So, you couldn’t get in touch with him for two days?”


    “Yes, I heard from Chase that Mr. Everheart went to the south to collect a batch of treasures. The other


    party is rather violent and rough. So, I’m afraid that something may happen…”


    When Margaret reached that point, she said carefully, “Miss Ren, when will you settle your issues over


    there? When are you going to return to Beach City? Both you and Mr. Everheart are not around. So,


    Miss Lei is the only one managing Azure Group. It’s already a mess. A few days ago, some people


    came to make a scene. Miss Lei fought against them head-on. Now both parties involved were taken


    away by the police officers. Miss Lei is injured too…”


    “What? Lei is injured and locked up?”


    Renee felt her temples throbbing. She was soon filled with deep guilt.


    Both Renee and Liam worked hard and endured hardships for four years to establish Azure Group,


    developing it into what it was now.


    During the half year that she was away, it was always her brother and Leia who helped to manage it.


    Both of them were not good at doing business. Besides, they knew little about anything to do with


    electronic technology. Hence, it must be very difficult for them to manage thepany.


    “That’s right. They were too strong. They came to thepany to provoke Miss Lei. She was so angry


    that a fight broke out, and she and hurt one of them. They quickly grabbed onto this incident and sued


    her for a criminal offense. Now… she’s still in prison. I don’t even know how much she has suffered.”


    Margaret had long wanted to tell Renee about those affairs, but she held herself back all that while,


    fearing she might affect Renee’s mood.


    But now, they needed Renee badly. If Margaret kept it a secret any longer, they might get into bigger


    trouble.


    “Oh, okay, I got it. Don’t worry. I’lle up with ways to deal with it.”


    Clutching her phone, Renee felt great frustration and annoyance washing over her.


    She knew that she should have gone home long ago. She should not have asked Quinton, Lei, and


    Margaret to bear those things. But…


    She inevitably looked toward the antique shop. Jovan was still in there, waiting to present the surprise


    he had meticulously prepared for her.


    What would happen to Jovan if she left?
