Renee was afraid someone might hear or see them, so she quickly covered his mouth with her hand and pressed closer to him.

Haze, who was still struggling a moment ago, suddenly stopped moving, becoming as obedient as a child. He swallowed hard.

Renee�s delicate little face was right in front of his. Her long black hair was as smooth as silk and gave off a subtle fragrance. It tugged at his heartstrings like the furry paw of a kitten.

Renee had also realized by now that they were a bit too close to each other. She frowned and warned him, �Be careful of what you say. If you agree, nod once.�

Haze nodded obediently.

Renee removed the hand that was covering his mouth.

Haze raised his eyebrows and returned to his usual cynical demeanor. He told Renee, �I�ll give you one last chance to work with me to bring the Hunt family down. If you do, I�ll keep your secret for you. Otherwise��

�There�s no otherwise!�

Renee proudly stated, �I, Renee Everheart, never take kindly to threats. I would only work with you if I wished to work with you.�

�If you really want to expose my secret, be my guest. But if you do that, from now on, you and I will become mortal enemies. I�ll make you pay for your ignorant actions!�

�So if you�re going down, you�ll bring me down with you?�

With a mocking look in his eyes, Haze joked, �Why do you still wish to protect Stefan even though he treats you so badly? When he finds out later that you�re the reason the H Group is in this predicament, do you think you�ll be able to leave this building alive?�

�You can do as you please!�

Renee did not want to waste any more time arguing with Haze. She was prepared to fall out with Stefan. en without Haze�s intervention, the trouble Elon Barnes caused earlier was already enough to make Stefan fall out with her.

At this point, it probably would not matter anymore, so whatever!

Haze walked into Stefan�s office. He was in there for more than ten minutes before he came back out.

Renee was waiting outside, ready for the storm.

Haze�s thin lips curled into a smile. He said to Renee, �You can go in now. I�ve told him everything. If you need help, feel free to call me."

Renee took a deep breath and walked into Stefan�s office.

Stefan�s slender body stood in front of the bright french window. His broad shoulders and long legs gave him a dashing appearance. JrNovels.com
