"Was it really Tess?" Renee asked again, finding Stefan''s response a bit strange. It sounded like he


    was trying to hide something from her. "Why couldn''t I get in touch with Tess? Did she tell you who


    drugged me?" Renee had been trying to contact Tess, but Tess seemed to have gone missing. Renee


    could not reach Tess'' phone, and Tess no longer came to Everheart Manor. If Tess did get the list of


    ingredients of the poison, she would certainlye to remedy her mistake, but instead, she was


    avoiding Renee.


    "Tess... has some family issues. Maybe she''s just been too busy to get in touch. Give her some time,


    then ask her," Stefan said lightly, but in truth, he knew that Tess had been forced to leave Beach City.


    He didn''t hold her responsible for what had happened, and had given her some money and asked her


    to leave Beach City forever. He had also prohibited her from telling Renee anything about what had


    happened that day.


    "Okay." A sigh escaped Renee, and she stopped asking about it. It looked like Stefan had spent a lot of


    effort to keep the incident from Renee, so she knew that it wasn''t as simple as he said it was. It didn''t


    matter though- Renee had ways to find the truth.


    On that day, Stefan flew to the South Sea in a private jet with an investigation team. When they


    reached the ind, they started talking to the local fishermen about the stone.


    "Oh, the Southern Oceanic Stone. It''s real! It''s said that the pearl is the tears of the m spirits. There''s


    only one in a thousand years, and it''s at the bottom of the South Sea. Only people who are good at


    diving have the chance to find it if they sing the m spirits'' favorite song..." A fisherman told Stefan


    and the others solemnly, then added, "But even after so many years, we fishermen haven''t seen it."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    "m spirits? Songs?" Stefan''s eyes widened and he was speechless. The names of the items were


    already ridiculous, and it seemed like the methods to get them might be even more so.


    "I''m sure you don''t believe me, Mister, but it''s true. Some of the fishermen here have heard songs from


    the bottom of the sea when they go out to the sea at night. It''s said that the m spirit is waiting for its


    lover, which is why it sings!” The fisherman said seriously. Generally, fishermen living on an ind


    believed in spiritual beings since their catch of the day was usually based on their luck and safe return.


    They felt safer if they had a deity to believe in.


    "Yes, I don''t believe it, but I still want to give it a try." Stefan frowned as he looked at the vast ocean,


    then said seriously, "I won''t know if it''s real if I don''t give it a try."


    "Mr. Hunt, I''ll find the best swimmer in this vige right away. We''ll go now!" Elijah had apanied


    Stefan on this journey, and though he found the story ridiculous, he would support Stefan


    unconditionally.


    "No, that''s unnecessary," Stefan refused Elijah''s suggestion. He seemed to have a n.
