Renee was rather obedient that night in Jovan''s manor. Not only did she have dinner, but she also


    stayed in the living room for a long time, waiting for Jovan''s return.


    Jovan, who was exhausted, was filled with warmth when he returned and saw her in the living room.


    "Are you waiting for me?" He walked over to Renee and sat close to her on the sofa, and the dim


    lighting made the atmosphere look intimate.


    "Are you that surprised?" "I am." Jovan looked serious. "I''d imagined this scene countless times in my


    head... but I know you’d only wait for me like this if you needed something from me."


    Renee smiled. "Is that how you see me? As someone who''s cruel and selfish?" "No, I can only me


    myself for not being charming enough. I failed to make you fall in love with me even after pursuing you


    for such a long time." Jovan shook his head, a bitter smile on his face. He knew very well how she


    regarded him and dared not fancy wishful thoughts.


    "I do have a favor to ask." Renee was wringing her hands nervously, looking quite ufortable to


    have to ask Jovan for a favor.

    "What do you want me to help you with?" "I got bored today and asked Lisa to turn on the TV. I listened


    to the news and learned that it''s chaos out there..." Renee clenched her fists as she spoke, her body


    trembling. "The mass media is saying that Stefan... is dead. They say he fell off a cliff, and animals ate


    his corpse. You have full control of Hunt Enterprise, so... you let Briar join the board of directors. Does


    the fact that you agreed to such a preposterous thing mean that those rumors are true? Is Stefan


    dead?" Renee figured that Jovan probably knew something he wasn''t letting on, which was why he had


    done something so reckless.


    "If I told you that I don''t know whether Stefan is alive or dead, would you believe me?" Jovan looked at


    Renee, disappointment clear in his voice. She had actually waited for him toe home... but it was


    because of Stefan. Basically, Jovan had Stefan to thank for this privilege.


    "I wouldn''t." Renee shook her head and said sharply, "If there was a possibility that Stefan is alive, you


    wouldn''t go all out like this. You must have heard something." "I don''t know where Stefan is or how he''s


    doing. If you don''t believe me, you can ask Xavier or Quinton-they were the ones who went there. It''s


    better for you to ask them instead of a bad guy like me," Jovan exined honestly.


    "But it''s impossible..." Renee shook her head, looking confused. "If you don''t know the current situation,


    and if Hunt Enterprise hasn''t lost their leader, how could Briar join the board of directors? It''s very


    strange." "Grandpa agreed to let Briar join the board of directors. As for the reason he did it..." After a


    pause, Jovan said cryptically, "You''ll know in a few days."
