Chapter 1003

Renee had no doubt escaped from this deadly experience. However, she didn’t intend to seek revenge on Seraphina after this, as she found her experience extremely pitiful.

She knew that her brother was completely in the wrong for making that call, and she decided to find a way to make it up to Seraphina. She owed her at least that much.

As for Stefan… She realized that she needed to part ways with him properly. Even if they weren’t together now, they didn’t have to leave any regrets between each other. Moreover, it would be much better if they could look back on their memories fondly.

“Let go of me, Everheart! You b*tch! Fight me head-on instead!” Seraphina struggled and screamed hysterically, being the one tied to a pillar in the warehouse this time.

“Don’t panic. This’ll be just temporary. Once I’m done handling my business, I’ll have someone release you,” Renee said calmly, trying her best to comfort Seraphina. “I know I have wronged you, but I will make it up to you no matter what.”

“Don’t act like a saint, b*tch. Either kill me right now or let me go! You don’t have to torture me this way!” Seraphina’s eyes reddened from anger, her voice hoarse from all the shouting.

“Though I have to give it to you, I can’t believe you managed to escape that situation! I guess this is what people call fate. I am destined to lose to you! So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and kill me!”

Renee let out a long sigh and shook her head. “Believe it or not, I never wanted to hurt you. And I was being honest before. I can tell you love Stefan more than I do, so I hope you can take care of him in my stead. I promise that I won’t have anything to do with him from now on.”

“Enough with your charade. Do you think I have no idea that you’re just going to seduce Stef again?!

Well, too bad… he won’t forgive you this time. He hates your guts. Even if you go looking for him, you’ll just be wasting your time and energy.” Seraphina growled, not worried that their love might rekindle at all.

After all, if they really got back together, Stefan would no longer be the man she was once in love with.

She didn’t want a man who had nearly no dignity or backbone.

“Think whatever you want.” Renee didn’t bother to reason with Seraphina any longer, ordering the Albus Order to look after her right before leaving. She then tidied herself up, hoping to look slightly presentable.

It was already night when she headed out. As dark clouds covered the skies, the entire world seemed to be drowned out in pitch blackness.

After hearing from Seraphina that Stefan was currently staying at Hunt Manor, Renee immediately called a cab.

She was highly agile and very familiar with the manor layout, so she could sneak in easily.

At that time, Stefan was sitting in a bamboo chair in the backyard and enjoying the chilly night breeze.

He was wearing black casual clothes and seemed rather languished. He looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness, especially since his dashing aura was long gone.

Renee decided to hide behind a large rock pillar, hesitating to approach the man.

Although she had planned to say her goodbyes, her legs were glued to the floor, and she didn’t dare to move a muscle. She didn’t know what to say, worried that breaking her promise could potentially affect Stefan’s health.

She wasn’t superstitious, but she didn’t want to risk the man’s life to prove her beliefs.

“Stef, it’s getting cold, and it’s late. Aren’t you tired? Let’s get you back to your room, okay?” Francine draped a wool jacket over the man’s shoulders, her eyes filled with tears.

She was absolutely heartbroken over the fact that her high-flying, confident, and proud son had become so depressed and gloomy.
