Chapter 371

The church’s door was shut. Stefan considered pushing the door open and walking in but decided against it since it would make him seem shameless. So he waited outside the door, cleared his throat, and said,” Come out on your own.’

There was no reaction from inside.

Hiding his embarrassment while appearing noble and frigid, he continued,” There is a limit to my patience. You’ll be sorry if I have to go inside.’’

Thinking about how he flew and went all the way here and climbed the mountain for hours only to see her angered him. Presently, there seemed to be no other choice but to enter the church since she did not reply to him at all.

He spun back and yanked the door open with fury. * Renee, you’ve gone too far, you…”

“Surprise! Stefan, you’ve been fooled.”

Renee was nowhere to be seen in the church. In the midst of the empty church, there was just a teddy bear.

The teddy toy had a microphone inside and appeared to come to life as it laughed madly at him.

“Hahaha! Mr. Stefan, you’re a moron for coming here to look for me.”

‘ Don’t squander your energy. You won’t find me if I don’t want you to find me.”

“I’ll appear on my own. Just make sure you’re ready for my arrival!”

Stefan was mocked by every word the teddy bear said.

“Renee!”

He never imagined that a woman would dupe a wise guy like himself.

His gorgeous face clouded, and he seized the teddy bear with the intention of ripping it up.

The teddy bear continued to say, “Don’t you dare break me, or you won’t leave this island. If you don’t believe me, try looking for your wallet.”

He reached into his pocket, and indeed, it was gone.

He came to his senses quickly and realized that the little girl had taken it.

She would be far away now, so it was pointless for him to chase her.

“Damn it! What do you want from me?”

Stefan was so mad that he was on the edge of losing his mind.

Then, the teddy bear spoke again calmly, “Hahahah. Now you know that everything is not as it seems on the surface.”

Stefan was speechless. His mood shifted from rage to irritation.

He was exhausted and had no money, so he couldn’t even get water. This was probably where he would perish.

As he looked back at his past, he realized he had never been this stupid before, nor had he been in such a terrible situation.

This was all a trap set by Renee.

“Now, I want you to hold the teddy and tell 100 islanders: ‘Renee is the world’s kindest human. I am blind to blame her. I am stupid.’ Once you are done with the mission, you will get your wallet back.”

“Renee, don’t be so mean. You…”

“Beep beep!”

The sound of the connection getting cut off could be heard.

It was obvious that Renee, who was hiding and operating at some corner of the island, had cut off the connection.

Stefan pointed at the teddy bear; his expression was cold and deadly as he thought, ‘I won’t say such humiliating words!’

At the other end of the island, Renee lay on the couch, eating a popsicle while laughing as she watched some real-time footage. In the footage, the cold and overbearing Stefan was sweating and panting as he said to every person he met, “Renee is the world’s kindest human. I am blind to blame her. I am stupid.” ‘Hahaha. You’re too naive to think that you’ll be able to find me with that little hacker of yours,’ she thought.
