Chapter 227

’Dance?” Renee cleared her throat awkwardly, and pretended to be uninterested. “I’m not a fan of dancing.”

Julian smiled, a knowing look on his face. He stared into Renee’s eyes challengingly. “Is that the truth, or are you just scared?”

‘ Are you kidding me? Why would I be scared?” Renee scoffed, but she couldn’t meet Julian’s gaze.

Julian’s piercing eyes reminded her of Stefan. When he looked at her, it was as if he could see all her secrets.

Truthfully, how could she not care that Stefan was dancing with another girl? She was only pretending not to care, but unfortunately, her acting wasn’t good enough. As soon as she saw Stefan chatting and laughing with that girl, her walls came down… She got so distracted that she forgot about the game and dragged her team down.

‘If you’re not afraid, then dance with me. I’m sure you’ll feel much better after we dance,” Julian insisted, and offered his hand to Renee again.

Although he was Stefan’s nephew, he was only one and a half years younger than Stefan. He had grown up abroad where there was more freedom, so he was a bit more carefree and transparent compared to Stefan.

Renee nibbled her lip and hesitated. It would be too obvious if she danced, but if she didn’t, she’d seem like a coward.

Liam had also noticed that Renee hadn’t really moved on from Stefan – she wouldn’t have gotten distracted at her best game otherwise.

Stefan clearly knew his wife was here, so why was he dancing so intimately with another girl? Clearly, he was trying to provoke Renee!

As Renee’s number one guardian, Liam couldn’t let her lose!

Liam offered his hand to Renee too. “Boss, if you want to dance, it’s best that you dance with me. After all, we’ve known each other for years, so we’d be better dance partners.”

Julian and Liam’s behavior attracted a lot of attention in the bar, especially from the women. They began whispering to each other, directing envious glances at Renee. After all, being asked to dance by two handsome men was a major accomplishment…

“You two are terrible. You’re just trying to mess with me!” Renee felt extremely awkward with everyone watching her. She didn’t want to choose either of them, but she suddenly noticed that Stefan seemed to be looking her way.

It was an extremely unfriendly stare that almost seemed like a warning. At the same time, Stefan also whispered something to the girl in the white dress.

Ugh, he was such a jerk!
