�I� I didn�t think of that.� Renee lowered her head in shame after hearing that. Stefan nearly died by her hand a year ago, so she swore to God that she would never get back with him in exchange for his safety and happiness.

However, even if she didn�t do anything, sometimes things developed beyond her

expectations. The grudge between Quinton and Stefan was the perfect example-she was caught in the middle of it, so she couldn�t just stand aside and do nothing about it�

Seraphina sniffled, wiping tears from her eyes. �Miss Everheart, I�m sorry. I�m not trying to insult you, but my relationship with Stefan hasn�t been easy. Our relationship has just become a little stable, but now you�ve appeared in his life again. You know how much I love Stefan, so I can�t just pretend that I don�t care.�

Seraphina sounded very pitiful as she spoke, and finally bowed to Renee apologetically. �I know it�s because of your generosity that I can be with Stefan, so I do what you ask me to and be nice to him� but when you appear, he becomes uncontrollable, and I can�t get through to him at all. I�m so sorry.�

Stefan, who had just opened the door and walked out, happened to witness that scene. Immediately, he walked over and stood in front of Seraphina protectively as he glared at Renee. �What are you doing? Our negotiation is over, so why haven�t you left? Are you trying to bully my fiancee again?�

Renee�s heart ached when she saw how concerned he was about Seraphina.

"Mr. Hunt, you worry too much. This is your territory, so there�s no way I�d come here to bully your fiancee. Unfortunately, she doesn�t feel secure in the relationship, and

thinks that I�m trying to seduce you, so in short� You�re not treating her well enough, and you are failing to show her how much you love her.�

She reached out and patted his shoulder like an elder as she advised sincerely, �Be more lovey-dovey with Sera, she loves you very much. Don�t fancy wild thoughts and hurt her.�

Renee�s generosity made Seraphina feel inferior, so the latter kept her head bowed.

However, Stefan�s face turned very gloomy. He hated it when she appeared so open minded and unaffected. His lip curled, and he stated coldly, �I don�t need an outsider like you to comment on my relationship with my fiancee.�

�Alright then, I�ll leave you be. Goodbye.� Smiling, Renee waved at the two of them and left H Group. Seraphina held Stefan�s arm and asked cautiously, �Stefan, are you mad at me?�

�Of course not,� Stefan replied absent-mindedly, feeling frustrated.

�Many reporters are waiting outside, making a scene and asking for your explanation. The netizens even paint you as a demonic and bloodthirsty monster� If you�re uncomfortable giving an answer, my family can help you resolve this,� Seraphina said earnestly, eager to please Stefan.

�Just leave it for now.�

�But it doesn�t look good for you. Everyone can tell that it�s because of the Night Demon. He�s Renee�s brother, so it might have been Renee who added fuel to the fire��

�It�s not important.� At the moment, he did not plan to make any counterattack since he had made a deal with Renee to not take action for ten days.

Seraphina�s insecurities immediately worsened. She could tell that he did not want to make a counterattack because of Renee, and thus, some wicked ideas started to form in her mind�

Renee returned to Carmine Pawnshop from H Group.

Quinton had a great time chatting with Liam, so he invited both Liam and Leia to stay for dinner. Meanwhile, Renee booked a flight ticket to Goldshire, the capital of Cyndiago, at ten o�clock that night.

A sumptuous dinner was served. Everyone chatted and ate happily, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

�Come, let�s toast! I hope we can all gather here for a good meal and fine wine every year from now on.� Quinton raised his wine glass and proposed heartily.

�Cheers!� Everyone stood up and toasted. Even Adie and Abby raised their cups, not wanting to be left out.

Since Quinton was in a good mood, Renee leaned over to him and said softly, �Quinton, can you promise me something?� JrNovels.com
