Xavier expressed concern for Renee.

Although he had seen what she could do, it would not be easy to bring a downfallen family back to glory. Out of the eight major families in Beach City today, which one could she afford to mess with? She, a lone woman, wanted to carve out a place for herself? It would be extremely difficult!

�A weak woman?�

That made Renee laugh. �They should pray that they don�t lose all their teeth when they try to eat me alive!�

�Nice. Your courage is commendable. I�ll give you a round of applause.�

Looking at the confident Renee, Xavier almost overflowed with admiration.

�To be honest with you, the only person I�m afraid of in the entire Beach City is Stefan Hunt. But now that Stefan is gone, those old fools are destined for defeat.�

She knew her words were very arrogant, but it was not without reason.

�That means you�re hoping that Stefan�s dead for real. Tsk tsk� Poor Stefan. He�s so sincere to you, but you want him dead.�

�Sincere?�

Renee snorted. �How could you utter a blatant lie like that? Stefan�s sincere to me? Would you want that kind of sincerity?�

�I know you have a lot of resentment in your heart, but Stefan has his own difficulties too. There are some misunderstandings between you, and those misunderstandings have been brewing inside you for four years. Neither of you wants to let it go, but��

�That�s enough!�

Renee impatiently interrupted Xavier and sneered, �He�s already dead, so these things are meaningless now. Talking about them will just reopen old wounds and make me feel the pain again��

�What if Stefan comes back from the dead? Would you be willing to give him another chance?��

Xavier asked one more time. He�s probably not the only one who was curious about the answer. Stefan would be curious too.

Renee remained silent for a moment, then said firmly, �No!� She had only made peace with Stefan because he was dead. If he were to come back to life, she would feel like a clown that he could fool anytime he wanted. Her hatred for him would only deepen.

�Fine. The relationship between you two is way too complicated. We outsiders can�t help you even if we wanted to.�

Xavier sighed and shook his head.

�Why do you keep asking me that? What about you? I heard that your love life has been pretty bumpy in recent years. Shirley White has you completely under her spell. I heard you did a lot of things for her that you normally wouldn�t do.� Renee joked. JrNovels.com
