Chapter: 525

'Finally, I have finally left the Baldwin residence. It was really like living in the dark ages there! If I stayed in that tyrannical demon cave any longer, I would have gone mad!� She took a deep breath and thought to herself.

However, when she looked up, she saw Stefan staring at her intently, as if he could devour her at any moment. This� did not seem to be very safe either, right?

�Did I just jump from the frying pan into the fire?�

�Well, if there�s nothing else, I�ll head back!�

Renee tidied herself up quickly, wanting to leave. "Oh, right. I released Miss Milford last night, so she should be safe by now. Why don�t you try to contact her to see if she�s okay?�

�There is no need for that� Stefan, no longer exuding his usual cold and intense aura, looked very relaxed. He took off his jacket and threw it onto the chaise lounge casually, leaving only a white shirt partially covering his perfect muscular body.

Renee�s heart fluttered seeing this, and she gulped subconsciously.

The man then took off his valuable diamond watch and put it on the table. He propped his long arm on the edge of the table, and said lightly, �My mother arrived in Beach City last night, and should be having afternoon tea with her friend now.�

�She arrived last night?� Renee was confused. �Then why did you go to the Baldwin residence so early in the morning?�

Stefan looked up and met her gaze, the corner of his lips curving into a playful smirk. �What do you think?�

�I�� She bit her lip, her heart pounding in her chest. His passionate gaze was like a fire that burned her. She shook her head vigorously and growled, �I don�t know what you�re thinking, but this is the last bit of kindness I can offer to the Hunt family. Did you even think of what would happen to me when you dragged me away like that? I�m probably now on the Baldwin family�s hit list, all thanks to you!�

Although the Baldwin family had strict family rules and was very unwavering, all the members of the Baldwin family had been very kind to her. Everyone in the household had treated her like a treasure, but they were probably so disappointed and angry that she just followed their enemy unhesitatingly!

�The Baldwin family and I wouldn�t have gotten into such a stalemate at all if you did not come and mess things up. You really screwed me over this time!�

"Is that so?� His gaze, tinged with frost, was like a sharp knife cutting through her skin. The man was both hot and cold! �Are you blaming me for ruining your relationship with Justin and destroying your plan to become the future mistress of the Baldwin family?�

�What the heck?� Renee stared at him in bewilderment. This jealousy was completely unlike him!

She raised her chin and said defiantly, "Am I such a cheap person in your eyes that I must be interested in a man if I talk to him? You�re too narrow minded!�

Renee was like a proud swan, and after tidying herself up, she continued, "I have told you very clearly that I, Renee Everheart, I am an independent individual. I have my own thoughts, and I�m not a toy for you and the Baldwin family to fight over. If you want to fight, leave me out of it. I still have things to do, so goodbye!�

Stefan stared at the woman�s beautiful figure as she turned around, then asked softly, �If you really did not care, why did you shield me from the gun back in the Baldwin residence? Don�t you think you�re being contradictory?�

Renee was stunned and didn�t know what to say.

He was right. No matter how harsh her words were, her instinctual actions had exposed her true feelings. JrNovels.com
