Chapter: 894

�Just hurry up and tell me what you want,� Stefan replied calmly. �This place is crawling with reporters, and yet you followed me into the men�s restroom. This kind of behavior is highly inappropriate.�

His overly calm demeanor made it seem like he was mocking her childishness and uncontrolled irrationality.

Renee gritted her teeth, wishing she could punch that flawless face of his! How could a man so ruthlessly cold and uncaring even exist? Was he a robot with no heart?

�Don�t you think I deserve an explanation about this whole situation?� Renee asked, trying to calmly communicate with Stefan while stifling the urge to choose violence.

�I don�t think there�s anything to explain�� Stefan replied with a nonchalant shrug. �As you might have seen, H Group needed to weed out some bad seeds, so I had to use some tricks to lure them out and eliminate them.�

�And� that�s it?� Renee stared at the man�s unfeeling expression, feeling like she was looking at a total stranger.

�So,� she smiled bitterly, �you didn�t actually get in danger because you tried to save me. Looks like all that guilt I shouldered was for nothing! It must have been hilarious to you, hmm? You must have been laughing your heart out back then seeing how gullible and stupid I was!�

�Does that mean,� Stefan asked, staring at Renee with a complex emotion in his eyes, �that you were really worried about me, that you were upset about my death? So, you not caring about me was a lie, wasn�t it? You haven�t given up on me, have you?�

�Don�t flatter yourself!� Renee pretended to throw up into the urinal before coldly adding, �I�ve completely given up all my feelings for you. I just don�t like feeling indebted to someone, especially someone like you, Stefan Hunt! If you had really died for me, I would have just despised you for the rest of my life!�

�In that case,� Stefan slowly replied, �I�ve made a huge mistake. If I�d known how much I�d affect you, I wouldn�t have returned so soon. I should�ve waited to see how much you would despise me.�

Stefan�s odious righteousness wore off the last remaining reserve of patience Renee had. She started to hurl insults at him like a foul-mouthed shrew, pulling no punches, �Didn�t I make it clear to you just now? You�re nothing more than a disgusting turd, and every time I see your face, it�s like seeing a big pile of poo! I despise you so much that I lose my appetite when I see you! I can�t stand being around you for a second longer!�

Once she was done cursing at him, she felt instantly relieved, so she turned around to leave.

�Stop right there!� Stefan hammered down his order as if it was an imperial decree, his voice carrying a sense of authority that was impossible to defy. However, Renee was a rebel at heart, so as soon as Stefan ordered her to stop, she defiantly walked away from him.

In a desperate attempt to stop her from walking away, Stefan stretched his leg out to block her path, and grabbed her tiny shoulders with both of his hands.

�Don�t you have anything to tell me?� He asked meaningfully.

�Is this a joke? What would I have to tell you?� She glared at the big hands on her shoulders and warned him in an icy tone, �Let me go!�

Stefan gazed into Renee�s eyes as he asked her, �I hid the truth from you because the situation forced me to, but what about you? Don�t tell me you�re not hiding anything from me!�

�What�� Renee was starting to feel unsettled. �What are you talking about?�

�You know what I�m talking about� In your eyes, I�m the stupid one, aren�t I? You hid in a corner where I couldn�t see you, and you laughed at me for years, didn�t you?�

Stefan�s grip on Renee�s shoulders unconsciously tightened, and his calm expression now gave way to a mixture of anger, pain, and helplessness� as if he was powerless against the woman in front of him! JrNovels.com
