Chapter 1155
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Stefan stared at Renee, who was on the verge of a breakdown.
âI wonât tell you where Jovan is even if you were naked,â he told her evenly. âBecause I have no idea where he is.â
He finally admitted the truth since things were getting out of hand. With the ridiculous thought processes that Reneeâs mind appeared to be prone to, one of them would soon be driven insane!
Renee was half-undressed and froze right then. âWhat are you talking about? What do you mean you donât know where he is?â
âHe never stays put like you, and I guess heâs now actually missing. It only begs the question of why you came to me at all,â Stefan replied, leaning back against his seat with an impassive look, staring at her contemptuously as if she was an idiot.
âHow could you not know?! When that explosion happened, the chauffeur clearly heard the person who abducted Jovan say, âMr. Hunt sends his regardsâ! And there is no other Mr.
Hunt except you!â
âWhy me? There are plenty of Mr. Hunts across the globe,â Stefan sneered. âMoreover, why are you so sure that the chauffeur was telling the truth? What if he was trying to frame me?â
He had no idea why someone would pin the blame on him, but this was not unprecedentedhe certainly was used to being scapegoated, especially with the multitude of rivals he had in Beach City!
âThat makes sense,â Renee was calm enough to agree with Stefanâs insight-she knew him well enough to tell that such a crude move was not his style at allâ¦
In fact, it happened to fit Jovanâs style. Was it possible that Jovan had arranged his own abduction?
However, Renee quickly shook her head-that was impossible, since Jovan was not that nonsensical despite his crafty nature.
And what could he have hoped to achieve-did he want to drive a wedge between her and Stefan? There was already no sentiment between them whatsoever, so Jovan did not have to go that far.
It just doesnât make sense!
âIf it wasnât you, then whyâd you leave this note for me?!â Renee cried out in agitation, and whipped out the piece of paper that she had been carrying around. âThis is obviously your handwriting! âYou reap what you sow. Come to me if you want him back.â Obviously it means I should meet you if I want him back. What do you have to say now?â
Stefan glanced at the note, and admitted, âI did write the note, but I wasnât referring to Jovan.â
âNot Jovan? Then who?â
âQuinton. Thatâs your biological brother, no?â
âMy brother⦠You mean youâre the one behind what happened to him?!â Rene tensed up immediately-it was really one bombshell after another! She had just been worrying that there was no clue as to who her brotherâs assailants were, only for this man to admit it!
âHow dare you hurt my brother! I should skin you⦠and itâd still serve you right!â Renee was absolutely furious. She searched the whole car and finally found a swiss army knife. She picked it up and pressed the blade to his neck. âWhereâs my brother?!â
