Chapter 1014

Jovan was the mysterious man who gave her the video of Renee pushing Briar down the cliff.

She successfully broke Stefan and Renee up by relying on that video.

However, they were just separated. The feelings Stefan had for Renee never changed, but they intensified.

A great sense of defeat washed over her when she saw him sacrifice himself just to protect Renee. On the contrary, she felt like her dignity was being violated. Naturally, her hatred for Renee grew with time.

All she wanted now was for Renee to die.

Seraphina believed that Stefan would belong to her if Renee died.

Unfortunately, Renee was too tough, and she escaped repeatedly. She was indeed hard to handle.

“Seraphina, tell me honestly. You’re lying by claiming that Renee had jumped into the river, aren’t you?

She won’t do such a stupid thing given her character.”

Jovan used the last bit of sanity he had to analyze the possibility of Renee jumping into the river.

“Humph! Jump into the river to search for her. You’ll know if I’m lying to you.”

Seraphina laughed coldly and said, “You claimed that you love her, but you’re chickening out. Frankly, all men love themselves the most. How will you endanger yourself for an uncertain factor?”

As she mocked him with gusto, she suddenly glanced at the door of the warehouse, where she caught a glimpse of a tall and upright figure.

She recognized the person at first glance. He was Stefan.

It was because only Stefan possessed such a perfect body figure.

“Stefan, why… why are you here? Did Miss Francine come with you?”

Seraphina, unable to keep appearing as if she was teasing Jovan, was concerned now. She struggled anxiously and tried to rush toward Stefan.

“Stefan?”

Jovan turned around and looked at the door of the warehouse. He was trying to sound Stefan out.

“Didn’t they claim that you’re suffering from an infectious disease and that you can’t even get out of bed? You look fine and healthy now!”

It was too dark, so Jovan could only see a dark figure. He could see nothing, so he could not affirm whether the rumors were true.

Stefan stood there uprightly. It did not affect him at all, no matter how dark the surrounding was. Hence, he was currently the most sensitive and responsive one among the three.

“Seraphina, can you repeat what you said just now?”

Stefan ignored Jovan and tried to seek confirmation from Seraphina. “What happened to Renee?”

“She, she…”

Seraphina became flustered. She was at a loss for how she should answer the question.

“Be frank with me. Did she jump into the river?”

Stefan’s voice turned low and cold with an innate autocracy.

Seraphina swallowed. She seemed to be placed in a dilemma now, and she could not make up her mind.

“I don’t know. I know nothing. She may be in danger, or she may still be safe. Go and look for her… Or, you can let me go first. We’ll look for her together.”

Seraphina’s words made them relax a little.

“Okay, let’s look for her together. If we can’t find her, I’ll make you jump into the river.”

Jovan knitted his brows and shot the iron chains that bound her. He broke them with a gunshot.
