�Trust me. You won�t regret coming here.�

�Yeah, I sure wish so!� Renee replied with fake enthusiasm, but she already had something else planned.

She saw Jovan getting out of the car, and she did the same. When Jovan started walking toward her, she kicked him in the stomach and snatched the car key from him.

�It�s my bedtime. I don�t have time to waste here with you. If you like it here, you can stay. I�m going home,� Renee said before unlocking the car and getting in from the driver�s side. She prepared to turn on the engine.

After being kicked, Jovan felt as if his internal organs were crushed. Blood spilled out from his mouth.

However, he seemed even more excited than before. He licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at her. �Are you sure you want to leave? Can�t my proud and handsome cousin make you stay?�

Renee�s facial expression froze. She stepped on the brake and asked,� What do you mean? Be specific!

�

�Haven�t you heard?� Jovan propped up his upper body with his long arms. He had a creepy smile on his face. �Many people have been speculating where Stefan had gone. He hasn�t been seen in public for two weeks. Why was I suddenly asked to return to the country to hold the fort? Aren�t you curious at all?�

�H-He was heavily injured. He�s probably recuperating now. That�s why there hasn�t been any news from him.� Renee�s eyes glistened. When she connected the dots to this unusual place, she had a bad feeling about what might have happened. However, she refused to believe it.

�Are you sure he�s merely recuperating?�

�C-Could there be some other reason?� Renee asked. She seemed perplexed.

She kept telling herself that Stefan was a tough man. Nothing could kill him. She was certain nothing had happened to him.

Jovan sneered. �What are you afraid of? Make a wild guess. I believe� you already have the answer, don�t you?�

Renee shook her head. �I don�t have an answer, and I don�t want to make a guess. I�m also not in the mood to listen to your nonsense. You�d better get out of the way, or I�ll run you over!�

Jovan sat lazily in front of the car. He ignored Renee�s warning completely. �I thought you�ve grown much stronger in the past few years, but you�re still as much of a coward as ever. You don�t even have the guts to face the truth. Don�t you think it�s sad that you have to lie to yourself like this?�

�I don�t know what you�re talking about!� Renee exclaimed. �I�m saying this for the last time. Get out of the way!�

She placed her foot on the gas pedal. All she needed to do was step on it lightly, and Jovan would be crushed into a pulp of flesh.

�Hehe. Do you think you�ll be able to change my dying cousin�s fate by running me over?� Jovan slowly got up. He propped his arms on the hood and smiled creepily at her.

�Weren�t you curious why I brought you to the middle of nowhere? Look around. Don�t you think this gravesite has very good feng shui? I heard the Hunt family specifically chose this place for Stefan. Once it�s time to bury him, my proud, aloof cousin will be trapped here forever�� JrNovels.com
