The man took the beating while he carefully tried to defend himself. �I-I didn�t kidnap Mr. Hunt�s wife. More accurately speaking, I didn�t kidnap anyone� This woman� She�s Mr. Hunt�s wife? I didn�t kidnap her. She sold herself to us!�

Everyone looked at Renee, the woman in a white dress and a feathered mask, whose mouth was still sealed with tape.

Xavier was so angry that he could kill the man himself. �How dare you make up such nonsense. Stefan�s wife has millions in assets. Why would she sell herself for so little?�

The man begged and cried. �It�s true. I wouldn�t dare lie. She asked me for 150 thousand dollars. After I transferred the money to her account, she said I could do anything to her. If you don�t believe me, ask her!�

�Are you serious?�

Xavier found it strange.

Renee owned a technology company and a law firm. She even got a huge sum of money from Stefan. Logically speaking, she wouldn�t have sold herself for 150 thousand dollars.

Xavier walked up to Renee and was about to take off her mask when something suddenly occurred to him. He stopped.

�Stefan, you should do it� You found her first. Rightfully, it�s you who gets to do it,� Xavier said.

Although Xavier was attracted to Renee, he told himself to keep his feelings in check.

It was fine to make certain jokes, but he needed to know his place when it really mattered.

To his surprise, Stefan shrugged nonchalantly.

�Didn�t the old man say that this is your fate? It has nothing to do with me. Hurry up. She�s waiting for you to rescue her!�

After Stefan finished his sentence, he turned around and left without even looking at Renee.

�Hey, Stefan. Are you leaving already?� Xavier realized that his joke had gone too far with the joke when he watched Stefan leave.

� I was only joking, and you took it seriously. Don�t worry. Renee still belongs to you. Even if I rescued her, she�s still yours. I won�t do anything stupid!�

�It doesn�t matter. Do whatever you want.� Stefan made an �okay� gesture with his hand before walking out of the controversial place.

Xavier couldn�t make Stefan stay, and he stood there dumbfounded.

Was Stefan so generous that he�d give his wife away?

Xavier turned around and looked at Renee, who was still tied up. She looked like a gift waiting to be unwrapped. For some unknown reason, Xavier felt embarrassed. JrNovels.com
