Everheart residence.

Renee was sitting beside a window on the second floor. She had been staring out of the window for a long time, but she had not seen Margaret at all.

She took out her phone and tried calling Margaret again, but her call still could not get through.

"That's weird. It's getting dark. Why isn't Margaret back yet? Where is she?"

When she woke up this morning, Renee saw a note Margaret left on the dining table, saying that she was going to take care of some personal matters and would be back soon. She told Renee not to worry.

But an entire day had passed and Margaret still had not come home. She could not even be contacted. Something was wrong! Renee was worried that Margaret might have ran into trouble. Considering her recent situation, there were many people who were waiting for an opportunity to get back at her.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Renee could not sit still any longer. She grabbed a jacket and went out to look for Margaret.

The moment she stepped outside, Renee saw a familiar silver sports car parked at the gate.

A slender man was casually leaning against the car, his shadow drawn long under the dim yellow street lamp.

He held a cigarette between his long fingers. He gave off a cold, aloof aura, deadly attractive.

Renee's heart throbbed despite herself. She could not move her eyes away.

The man was Stefan, a man she did not want to see at all!

'That's weird. What's he doing here?!"

'And judging from the remaining length of the cigarette between his fingers, it seems like he's been here for a long time?"

Although Renee was curious, she walked straight past Stefan with a deadpan face, as if he was invisible.

Stefan raised his eyebrows, but he was not mad. He casually put out the cigarette and threw the butt into a trash can next to him then quietly followed behind Renee.

He was tall, so he had a long shadow, and the shadow soon overlapped with Renee's, as if they were hugging each other. There was an ambiguous feeling in the air.

Renee noticed Stefan following her. At first, she tried to ignore him, but she had already walked for nearly a kilometer and Stefan was still following her. It made her mad for some reason. She suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Are you a sex offender? Why are you following me? What do you want?"

Stefan and Renee were walking very close together. When she suddenly stopped and turned around, they almost ran into each

other.

But it was precisely this tiny, awkward gap between them that made both of them feel a bit unnatural.

Stefan cleared his throat and tried to put on his usual cold and aloof face. He smirked and said. "Why are you wandering. around alone in the middle of the night? You're making yourself the perfect victim for a sex offender."

His words made Renee really angry.

"What kind of stupid logic is that? Are you saying that it's the victim's fault? Why have I never noticed before what a terribly crooked moral view you have?"

Renee retorted sharply. "But, honestly, it's no surprise. Can't expect someone who lets himself get mixed up with a wicked woman like Briar Desrosiers to have a good moral view. I must have been blind to actually marry a man like you!"

Stefan was not angry. Instead, his thin lips curled into a meaningful smile.

That was because he could clearly hear a strong feeling of jealousy in Renee's words. It made him feel good.

"I've always wondered, why do you always get emotional when you talk about Briar?"

"Duh. Of course it's because I hate her!"

"Is that so?"

Stefan's raised his eyebrows slightly as he continued to ask, "Do you actually hate her or do you hate her for ruining our marriage?"

"You... What the hell are you trying to say?"

Renee involuntarily took a step back. Stefan felt strange tonight, as if he was possessed.

"If I say that my feelings for Briar are not what you think they are, and I'm protecting her for some other reasons, would you let

her off the hook?"

"Some other reasons?"

Renee frowned and immediately asked, "What other reasons?"
