She said sarcastically, "Wow, fancy seeing you here, Mr. Hunt. Why aren�t you keeping your �bro� company? She hurt her foot and needs your� brotherly love�.�

Stefan frowned and ignored Renee. Instead, he looked at Rubio Pascal and asked in an icy voice, �What did you do to her?�

Rubio Pascal was a man in his forties who had a shrewd face. He gave Stefan a smile that did not reach his eyes and said with an ambiguous expression, "Miss Everheart and I had a very pleasant time. We spent more than three hours together, just the two of us, and we�ve grown very close. As for what happened between us, I think it�s Miss Everheart�s decision whether to tell you or not.�

�Anyway, for me personally, I�ll treat it as a little secret between Miss Everheart and I.

I will occasionally think back on it with much fondness.�

Hearing that, Renee lowered her head and blushed shyly. �Mr. Pascal, I get embarrassed easily. If you�re too embarrassed to say it, then it�s even more the case for me. Why don�t we make a promise with each other? We�ll keep what happened this afternoon a secret. Whoever leaks the secret gets on Santa�s naughty list!�

�Hahaha, that�s fine with me. It�s your decision.�

Rubio Pascal gave Stefan a meaningful look. He then hugged Renee affectionately and said, �Okay, that�s it for today. Next time you come, let�s have some fun again.�

"Then, about the land where the Everheart Residence is��

�Don�t worry, leave it to me. I promise I�ll take care of it.�

Rubio Pascal waved goodbye to Renee and walked back into the Pascal Manor.

Stefan, Shelley, and the group of armed burly men remained rooted to the spot with confused expressions.

�Ms. Everheart, you scared the hell out of me. I called you earlier, but you didn�t answer. I thought that Pascal guy must have done something bad to you. I was afraid that the police wouldn�t be able to handle it, so I called Mr. Hunt for help!�

Shelley was both excited and relieved. �I was worried that Mr. Hunt wouldn�t come, but not only did he come, he came really quickly and brought a lot of people with him. That means he really cares about you and you�re very important to him!�

Stefan said icily, �I didn�t think that far. I was just afraid that the Hunt family would be disgraced because I know what kind of man Rubio Pascal is.�

At first, Renee felt a little grateful towards Stefan, but his words irritated her so much that the gratitude instantly evaporated.

�Heh, you�re funny, Mr. Hunt. Pray tell, what kind of man is Mr. Pascal? And how did I disgrace the Hunt family?�

Stefan�s dagger-like eyes looked Renee up and down. He said emotionlessly, �You know what kind of man he is, and you know very well how you disgraced the Hunt family.�

Renee became even angrier. She retorted coldly, �Sorry, I have no idea what kind of man Mr. Pascal is. After all, I only spent three hours with him, which I don�t think is enough to tell a person�s character. I feel like he�s a pretty straight forward guy. At least he doesn�t pretend to be a good guy like a hypocrite.�
