Chapter: 1114

�This conversation is over.� Stefan stopped Elijah from asking any more questions. He wasn�t one to express his feelings, so he would never reveal just how strongly he felt for Renee. He was also quite annoyed at the fact that Elijah was practically forcing an answer out of him.

�Alright, let�s talk about that manipulative witch Desrosiers then�� Elijah sighed.

�Truthfully, I did obtain information about the last person she contacted Coincidentally� that person was none other than Miss Everheart.�

Stefan narrowed his eyes, his expression solemn. �She contacted Renee?�

�Yeah, her last call was with Miss Everheart, and they talked for over two hours. However, we couldn�t obtain the call recording, so Miss Everheart might just be the only one who knows the actual situation��

Elijah then paused, and reminded his boss. �Besides, Miss Everheart has never gotten along with Desrosiers. If you question her about this out of nowhere, it could potentially ruin your relationship again.�

�I will ask her about the call if needed,� Stefan said as he stared at the drunk woman. His voice sounded soft, but his resolution was clear.

�Mr. Hunt, I have a question, but I�m not sure if it is appropriate.�

�If you have to wonder, then it�s probably not.�

�Well, after some consideration, I think this question is quite important.�

�Go on then.�

�What if the investigation ended with you only being able to save either Miss Everheart or Desrosiers? Who would you choose then?� Elijah asked, then held his breath, awaiting the man�s answer.

He knew the question was crossing a boundary, but his curiosity got the better of him.

�I won�t let that happen,� Stefan said curtly.

�But what if it does?� Elijah continued daringly.

�The future is unpredictable, so what if their fates are bound to clash? What if only one of them is allowed to survive? Who would you save?�

Stefan did not reply, but his eyes were fixated on Renee, full of unspoken affection and determination. His answer was clear. He had already made the wrong decision four years ago, causing him to miss out on creating memories with Renee. Now that he had learned his lesson, he swore to never repeat the same mistake.

He knew that he, along with Renee and the children, did not have another four years to waste. It was already past 2AM when the car arrived at the manor.

�Mr. Hunt, we�ve arrived,� Elijah reported in a soft l voice.

�Alright.� Stefan nodded. The two of them were speaking and moving cautiously, as though they were protecting a newborn kitten that was asleep. They were extremely worried that their movements would wake her up. JrNovels.com
