Chapter: 1540

Renee scowled unhappily. She was left with no options.

"Liam, hold on. I�ll come back and save you.�

Renee left the fort with Joanne, and they soon arrived at a hospital in the city.

Joanne was placed on a stretcher and pushed into a surgery room quickly.

�Doctor, please save her. You have to save her!� Renee begged pitifully as she followed

them. They had gone through so much to save Joanne, and Liam had even been forced into a marriage; she did not want all their sacrifices to go to waste.

�Well try our best,� the doctor said solemnly, and then the door to the surgery room was closed.

Exhausted and dejected, Renee sat down on a chair in the waiting area. Helplessness

overwhelmed her, and she stared at the floor absently. She wanted to sleep in a nice, warm bed or rest her head on someone�s shoulder.

At that moment, she saw a pair of long legs striding aloofly towards her. The crisp suit set off the slimness of the man�s legs, and it was clear that the person was tall and attractive.

Renee raised her head and met the man�s cold gaze. Her eyes were filled with tears, so her vision was slightly blurred. Her eyes widened, and she wondered if she was hallucinating.

�Stefan, what� are you doing here?� Renee rubbed her eyes in disbelief. After all the

challenges she had faced recently, seeing a familiar face amidst her helplessness was

heartwarming.

�To talk business,� Stefan sneered condescendingly as he slid his hands into his pockets.

�What kind of business do you have to talk about at the hospital? You must be stalking me!"

�If you think I�m stalking you� then I must be stalking you.� Stefan looked at the emergency room and asked, �How is she?�

�You know who�s in there?�

�Of course. It�s Joanne.� Stefan raised his eyebrows sarcastically. �You and that silly man from the Osborne family tried to stand against Benjamin�s fort. You both sure are

overconfident. Do you know how powerful they are in Goldshire?�

�If they weren�t powerful, I wouldn�t have gone there. They�re really quite cruel.�

When Renee recalled her experience there, her blood ran cold. They were savage, cruel, and lawless.

�I�ve worked with them before-they�re even more ruthless than your brother. Were you

courting death?� Stefan scoffed. If he hadn�t investigated Renee and Liam�s whereabouts before he contacted Benjamin, the results would have been unimaginable.

Realisation dawned on Renee. After staring at Stefan for a while, she said icily, �You must have said the right thing since Benjamin let Joanne and me go without much of a fight.� JrNovels.com
