�What do you mean, Stefan?�

Briar�s face was stiff.

So Stefan knew that Margaret was innocent, but he had her arrested anyway? Why? Stefan saw the question in Briar�s eyes and asked coldly, �You want to know why?�

Everheart residence.

Renee was sitting beside a window on the second floor. She had been staring out of the window for a long time, but she had not seen Margaret at all.

She took out her phone and tried calling Margaret again, but her call still could not get through.

�That�s weird. It�s getting dark. Why isn�t Margaret back yet? Where is she?�

When she woke up this morning, Renee saw a note Margaret left on the dining table, saying that she was going to take care of some personal matters and would be back soon. She told Renee not to worry.

But an entire day had passed and Margaret still had not come home. She could not even be contacted. Something was wrong!

Renee was worried that Margaret might have ran into trouble. Considering her recent situation, there were many people who were waiting for an opportunity to get back at her.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Renee could not sit still any longer. She grabbed a jacket and went out to look for Margaret.

The moment she stepped outside, Renee saw a familiar silver sports car parked at the gate.

A slender man was casually leaning against the car, his shadow drawn long under the dim yellow street lamp.

He held a cigarette between his long fingers. He gave off a cold, aloof aura, deadly attractive.

Renee�s heart throbbed despite herself. She could not move her eyes away.

The man was Stefan, a man she did not want to see at all!

�That�s weird. What�s he doing here?!�

�And judging from the remaining length of the cigarette between his fingers, it seems like he�s been here for a long time?�

Although Renee was curious, she walked straight past Stefan with a deadpan face, as if he was invisible.

Stefan raised his eyebrows, but he was not mad. He casually put out the cigarette and threw the butt into a trash can next to him, then quietly followed behind Renee. JrNovels.com
