Liam thought it was not a big deal. He randomly guessed, �What else could it be? He must be impressed by Adie�s cuteness and can�t bear to hurt him! Maybe he�s just joking with the kid about being your follower. Don�t take it too seriously.�

Renee shook her head. �No. I don�t think it�s that simple. He�s definitely up to no good. We can�t take it lightly.�

�How should I put it? Carmine Pawnshop was notorious in their early years. They probably came by their enormous wealth immorally back then, but they�ve slowed down and are ready to stop��

Liam paused suddenly and remembered something. He added, �However, some suspected that the men from Carmine Pawnshop were behind Tristan�s murder. Carmine and the Hunt family have always been enemies. Four years ago,

Stefan almost died after a big conflict between them. Carmine has slowed down since then. They still have a bad reputation but stopped doing things immorally.�

Renee listened with a serious expression and fell into deep thought. Could Mr. Q be related to Stefan�s death? Renee looked back at the laptop on her desk and let out a long sigh. If only she could hack into the Newrest police file system and retrieve the details of the shooting case which led to Tristan�s death. Would the truth come to light?

�Boss, don�t overthink. Adie is back safe and sound. No matter his purpose, we don�t have to fear him.� Liam looked at the worried Renee and consoled her again.

�Yeah. I worry too much.� Renee rubbed her temple. She did not want to spend too much time on the matter. After all, Stefan�s life or death was none of her business. She just wanted her children to be safe.

Renee put the ruler away and looked at Adie�s swollen hand with heartache. �Promise me. From now on, don�t go around without my permission, okay?�

Adie nodded. �I understand, Mommy. From now on, I�ll ask for your permission before going anywhere. Don�t be angry anymore, okay?�

�Okay. Give me a kiss, and I won�t stay mad.� Renee pointed to her cheek.

�Ah. You can�t be helped�� Adie opened his hands and tiptoed, giving Renee a firm kiss. He ran his little hands along her head and coaxed her, �Ren, be good. Don�t be angry anymore, or I�ll be sad.�

Renee went speechless at Adie�s actions.

The next few days, Renee kept herself busy with the Everheart Residence�s redevelopment and Azure Group�s matter. It was as if Stefan�s death was just a small chapter in her life. She simply ignored it without mentioning anything about it.

However, the more Renee behaved this way, the more worrying it was.

Liam thought venting negative emotions was necessary. How Renee constantly repressed her emotions might make matters worse in the long run. Therefore, Liam and Leia discussed the need to find a way for Renee to vent.

After the discussion, Leia patted her chest and reassured Liam confidently, �Fine. I understand. I�m good at that. Just leave it to me!�

Leia finally broke up with William after he was rescued. She had been suffocating anyway and could not wait to vent!

At the moment, Renee was sitting in a conference room at Azure Group headquarters. It was an important meeting with the company�s executives.

Renee was not nominated to hold any position in Azure Group over the past few years. Liam had made all the major decisions as the company president. Even so, the executives knew Renee was the soul of the company. JrNovels.com
