If she was fine and if she was that man's sister, she would have freedom in Carmine Pawnshop. Shouldn't she come see him long ago?

It had been such a long time, but she did not come. So, the reason was obvious.

"Don't worry. Ms. Everheart is fine. She's not at Carmine Pawnshop now."

"She's not around?"

"Yes , she left long ago when you nearing death. She might not even care about whether you're alive or no!"

Chase shrugged and elaborated lightly, "Miss Everheart is the same as my boss. They're rational people. They won't delay their plans for the sake of romantic relationships. What's more... there's one thing which I'm unsure whether I should tell you honestly or not."

Stefan subconsciously clenched his fingers. His heart was filled with unstoppable pain. He asked coldly, "What is it?"

"It wasn't the boss' idea to lure you into the water dungeon. It was Miss Everheart's idea instead. She hates you for lying to her and betraying her. So, she wanted to go the whole hog and kill you so as not to be affected by you..."

"That's impossible!"

Stefan's eyes turned scarlet. He said firmly, "Do you think you can sew discord between us? Renee isn't that kind of cruel and wicked woman. It's very easy if she wants me dead. She didn't have to spend so much effort, let alone jump into the water prison to save me!"

"It's normal, even if you don't believe me. After all, you guys were once a married couple, and you've had children together. Who will believe that their significant other wants to kill them?"

Chase shook his head and gave Stefan a fatal blow. "But if she cares for you, why would she leave at such an important moment without any concerns about you? When you're blind, and at your most helpless, she leaves you all alone in your enemy's base, which is full of danger. She didn't even inquire anything about you."

"That's enough. Shut up!"

Finally, Stefan had a mental breakdown.

No matter how strong his heart was, how could he convince himself to face such a hard truth?

�That�s all I wanted to say. Your body is clear of snake venom now. My boss is a man of his word. Soon someone will take you back to the Hunt family. Take care.�

After that, Chase gave Stefan a firm bow full of apology before he left the room.

After a long silence, Stefan�s crazy roars came from the room. He sounded like a wounded beast. There was even the sound of things being smashed.

�Renee, you�re such a cruel monster!�

Standing not far away from the room, Chase rubbed his fingers together in a deep struggle. JrNovels.com
