Chapter 277

Umm… What did Renee mean? Why did she hold his arm for no reason?

Besides, her fingers were so slender, and her palm was so soft that it instantly softened his heart.

Xavier’s mind ran wild, and his thoughts went slightly out of control.

He quickly shook his head and forcefully withdrew his arm. He said rather unfriendly, “What are you doing? Men and women are different. Although I’m very charming, you’d better behave yourself and don’t touch me.”

Renee became quite helpless, but she saw that as a joke. So, she hurriedly agreed, “Okay, I’ll behave myself. Mr. Stuart, please stop being so charming! ■

In the past, all she was aware of were his mean remarks. It was only now that she realized that he was actually rather amusing.

It seemed pretty beneficial to befriend such a person.

They went to Starfee and sat at a table by the window. Xavier ordered an iced Americano, while Renee got herself a warm Cappuccino.

Renee sipped her coffee and found that it was still the taste she liked. It instantly uplifted her spirits.

“Spill it. What favor do you need from me?”

She did not beat around the bush and questioned.

Xavier was shocked, and he almost spat out his coffee. He asked, “How… How did you know that I needed a favor?”

“I know you. Why would you be so polite if you didn’t have a favor to ask? You would have mocked me and never bought me coffee.”

Xavier soon had a new impression of her, given her analysis.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and sized Renee up for a long time, scrutinizing her. He then said, “I didn’t have a good insight before and failed to notice how smart you are. I thought that you were just a mindless, pretty face who survived solely by clinging to the Hunt family… No wonder! Stefan is such a picky person, but he took such a fancy to you.”

She raised her brows and felt that he was just teasing her.

Humph! How would Stefan take a fancy to her? He would just be angry.

“Stop flattering me. Just tell me what it is. As for whether I’ll help you or not, it’ll depend on my mood,”

Renee replied straightforwardly.

Xavier heaved a long sigh before he elaborated, “I’m in a very troublesome lawsuit. There’s only one person who can win this case in Beach City, and that’s Zack from Hunts & Co. Law Firm.”

“Got it.”

Renee snapped her finger. “You committed a crime, and you want Mr. Rosenwell to help you of it. Am I right?”

“No!”

Xavier roared, infuriated by Renee. “It has nothing to do with me, but that woman died at my place. As the person in charge of that place, that woman’s family members sued me and requested I be held responsible.

“Someone framed me. They weren’t willing to resolve it in private, no matter how much I spent, and they even asked for protection from the police officers. Even if I want to use special means, I don’t have such a chance… I got into such a mess!”

While talking, he ruffled his hair in frustration. He almost collapsed from all the mess.

Renee lowered her eyes and ruminated on it for a while before she asked,” What’s the reason for her death?”

“The police investigation found out that she had injected too much of that substance into her body, so her body couldn’t take it, and she died suddenly n He then added furiously, “Damn! She indulged in herself too much and died. It has nothing to do with me. Why did they ask me to be responsible for it? I’m so unlucky!”

“Of course, you have to be held responsible because she died at your place. You’ll even have to assume criminal responsibility if you were found to be the ones who provided the substance, or if she took it under your encouragement…”

“Okay, stop it!’

Xavier became increasingly anxious. He uttered angrily, “So, that’s why I came to beg for your help cheekily. Based on the previous cases, there’s only one chance of victory in this kind of situation, and Zack was the lawyer. So… Just tell him to help me!”

If he were not left with no options, he would not have used that method. It was too humiliating.

Renee answered with a faint smile, “Sure, I can help you, but I have one condition.
