"Yes, I�ll always owe you.�

Stefan lifted her chin and growled, �So, don�t think you�ll get rid of me that easily!�

�Are you going to persuade her?" Renee rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Stop messing around. You�re the cause of all this, and if you go in there now, you�ll only aggravate her. I wouldn�t risk it.�

�You�re wrong. The so-called �Night Demon� is the cause of this tragedy,� Stefan sneered, then pushed past Renee into the ward.

�Hey, you�� Renee tried to go after him, but was stopped by a nurse.

�I�m sorry, I can�t allow you to enter since the patient isn�t comfortable around you. We can�t afford the patient�s condition worsening,� the nurse explained carefully.

�No way! He can go in, so why can�t I?" Renee spluttered in shock. To her disbelief, the chaos in the ward faded a few minutes after Stefan walked in. Eventually, he walked out of the ward, looking as elegant and poised as always.

�Why did you come out?� Renee peered into the ward and asked suspiciously, �What�s going on in there? Why didn�t I hear anything?�

�She calmed down. The nurse is setting up an IV drip for her and tending to her,� Stefan calmly replied.

�What? What did you say to her?!�

�Nothing. I just asked her to rest well and get better� so she can get her revenge.�

�What?! Why would you say such a thing? She finally escaped from Benjamin, but you want her to go back and get revenge on him? Are you trying to ruin her?� Renee asked angrily.

�Who said I asked her to take revenge on Benjamin?� Stefan looked at Renee condescendingly.

�Who else could she take revenge on? I doubt you�d ask her to take revenge on you,� Renee said, looking confused. After Stefan lost his memory, he�d become more complex and shrewd. She couldn�t read him the way she did before.

�I asked her to take revenge on your brother,� he explained expressionlessly.

Renee�s jaw dropped. She gaped at him indignantly for a few seconds, then snarled,

�Are you out of your mind? Didn�t we call a truce? Why are you going after my brother again? You�re the one who ruined their relationship before this, and now you�re trying to do it again. How can you be so cruel?�

Stefan didn�t even flinch at Renee�s angry accusations. �The grudge between Joanne and your brother would still exist even if wasn�t around; I didn�t have to persuade her to do anything.�

�You�� Renee wanted to argue, but something made her hesitate. In the back of her mind, she knew that there had to be something she was missing here, especially given Joanne�s attitude towards her and Quinton. Something had made them fall out with each other, and maybe Stefan had only added fuel to the fire.

�So, do you know what happened between my brother and Joanne? They used to rely on each other, but now, she seems to hate him. Why�s that?�

Renee asked Stefan curiously. She felt that he probably knew the reason, which was why Joanne felt like she owed him.

�Yes, I do know,� he said bluntly.

�Great! Tell me what happened between Joanne and my brother so I can help mend their relationship,� Renee said happily.

Stefan raised an eyebrow. �No.�

Renee blinked at him, dumbfounded. JrNovels.com
