Renee was worried that there might be a misunderstanding or that Briar had used some tricks to get


    her way, so she was desperate to find Stefan for rification. She spoke to a lot of people and


    searched many ces, but it always ended with disappointment. She was exhausted physically and


    mentally. "I''m so tired, and my whole body is aching from going around looking for him. I don''t care if he


    doesn''t want to be with me anymore, I just want to see him and know that he''s okay... but he never


    appears. I don''t know if he''s hiding somewhere and watching me make a fool of myself and get hurt


    over and over again, but even your lousy ploy couldn''t force him toe out. So yes, of course I''m


    upset. Is this what you call sacrifice and love?" Renee demanded hysterically, helpless and agitated.


    She looked like she was losing her mind.


    "Umm..." Xavier looked hesitant as he tried tofort Renee. "Renee, calm down. I really don''t think


    it''s that simple. If Stefan is alive, he''s probably going through something since he''s avoiding US. Let''s


    not dere him guilty so fast-once we find him, we''ll interrogate him and get the truth. Don''t you think


    that''s a better idea?" "Find him?" Renee smiled bitterly. "I''m tired. I don''t want to look for him anymore. I


    just want an answer from you, and then I''ll let this go." "What... answer?" "Is Stefan still alive?" Renee


    asked Xavier directly. She assumed that she was the most important person to Stefan, but it was ironic


    that she had to ask someone else this.


    "I... I''m not sure." Xavier honestly exined, "I got news from my subordinates that they saw Stefan in


    a casino, but when I sent someone over, they couldn''t find him. I couldn''t be sure if the person they saw


    was Stefan, which was why I came up with this n to force him to appear.


    After all, you''re important to him, so he''d definitely get anxious if you were in danger." "That''s stupid,"


    Renee sneered. "If I really was that important to him, he would have appeared ages ago instead of


    hanging around a casino." "I''m thinking that he may be in trouble, which is why he can''t show himself


    yet. If he does, you might be in danger." "Well, maybe he''s changed his mind. Maybe he doesn''t want


    to be with me anymore but is too timid to say so in case everyonees after him, so he''d rather hide


    to make me give up on him." Renee sounded pessimistic. She couldn''te up with any other reason


    for his absence.

    "How is that even possible?" Xavier tried his best to defend Stefan. "Stefan would never change his


    mind about you... unless he bes a eunuch!"
