For four years, he had tried every method possible to trace Renee�s whereabouts, but his efforts were in vain.

He kept decrypting the protection she set up, and she kept using more sophisticated techniques to set up a new protection. It was like a game of cat and mouse. Every attack made his blood boil with excitement.

So when he learned that Renee was back, he got really excited. He immediately got into a bidding war with Stefan during the live stream and ultimately scammed Stefan of 4 million dollars while he himself reaped the benefits.

�Haze, what have you been through the last few years? You look so different now.�

Renee was still in shock.

That was because the Haze she remembered was an unruly and carefree person. He was always wearing a black hat, a black T-shirt, and a pair of black pants�. But now, he was wearing a black suit like a proper adult! No wonder she couldn�t recognize him at first!

Haze moved closer and closer to Renee. His deep eyes were passionate and emotional.

�We haven�t seen each other for four years, and that�s the first thing you say to me?�

�Stop!�

Renee reached out and placed her hands between them while saying with a weird smile,

�Not so close. Our relationship is one of purely friendship, so we should maintain an appropriate distance from each other.�

�It�s purely friendship to you, but not to me��

A mischievous smile crept onto Haze�s handsome and unruly face. Not only did he not keep his distance, he even grabbed Renee�s wrist and tried to pull her into his arms� Of course, the consequences were dire!

With dexterous movements, Renee counter-grappled his hand and easily held it behind his back. He might be nearly 1.9 meterstall, but she had him under total control.

�You little brat, how dare you try to tease me. Do you realize your mistake now?�

Renee kept exerting more and more strength, wishing to teach Haze a lesson.

Haze�s arm was about to break. He gritted his teeth in pain but did not plead for mercy. Instead, he smiled happily.

�What mistake? Is it against the law to like you? You disappeared for four years, and I�ve been thinking about you for four years. Is that a crime?�

�You�!�

Renee�s face instantly turned crimson. JrNovels.com
