Chapter 1016

Unexpectedly, the both of them did not believe her.

Jovan argued and threatened, “Things have come to this state, but you’re still playing tricks? Do you think I’ll believe you? You must have pushed her into the river. You’re just stalling for time, aren’t you? If anything happens to her, I’ll kill you, even if I have to risk my life for it!”

Stefan chimed in gloomily, “You don’t have to hide anything now. I told you. I won’t hold you responsible as long as she’s still alive. The rapids are strong, and we can’t delay this!”

“I… I’m not playing any tricks, and I don’t want to hide anything either. She didn’t jump into the river.

Even if you suck out the water from this river, you won’t find her. I don’t want you guys to waste your energy!”

Seraphina helplessly tried to explain.

At that time, Jovan found something strange by the river bank by relying on the light of his phone.

“Doesn’t that clothing belong to Renee? She might have fallen into the river in that position.”

Seraphina looked over and was shocked. “It’s really her clothing. Did she slip and fall into the river?”

Stefan was rendered speechless.

He then pursed his thin lips. While listening to the turbulent water, he struggled out of Seraphina’s support and rushed toward the river bank.

“Renee!”

He groped along the river fence and screamed Renee’s name. However, all he heard was the fierce roar of the gushing river.

Jovan also followed suit and observed the river. He then looked at Stefan, who was beside him, and pointed at a spot in the middle of the water. He said urgently, “Look! Something is floating there. Is it Renee? It seems to have lost consciousness. It’s not moving…”

“Where is it?”

“It’s right before you, at your two o’clock. Can’t you see it?”

Jovan turned on his phone and sounded very urgent. “I’ll call for help now… D*mn it! The signal is bad here. Let me go get the signal. Wait here.”

“There’s no time!”

Stefan did not doubt him at all. He risked everything and dived into the river.

However, the water was simply too rapid, and after looking around briefly, he couldn’t find Renee.

Consequently, he was washed away by the river…”

“Ah, Stefan!”

Seraphina caught up to them and watched as Stefan was washed further and further away. Shock dawned on her, and her mind went blank.

Holding the phone, Jovan walked over from not afar unhurriedly. He stared at the surface of the river expressionlessly. “My insufferably arrogant cousin turned out to be so dumb. I just tested him a bit, and he’s already exposed himself. He’s blind now, but he foolishly dived into the river and dreamed of saving the damsel in distress. He can’t be considered a lovestruck fool anymore. He’s so hopelessly in love that he can’t even think straight. There’s no hope for him now.”

“What did you do? You’re a maniac! What did you do to him?”

“Nothing. I just lied to him that there was something in the river. I just wanted to test if he was blind, but he dived into the river straightaway. I am not to blame.”

Jovan spread his hands and appeared very helpless.

“Jovan, you… you’re simply disgusting!”

Seraphina’s face turned very pale. Shaking, she pounced on him to beat him up. “He’s your cousin.

What you did is murder!”

“Murder?”

Jovan grabbed Seraphina’s hand and smiled coldly and ruthlessly. “He jumped into it himself. It has nothing to do with me. If you find me guilty, you can report me to the police.”
