Chapter 397

“But I don’t think you like my brother, do you? He’s always been your underling. No boss marries their underling.”

“Marriage is less about liking someone and more about whether the person is suitable.”

Renee smiled self-deprecatingly. “Take me, for example. You know how much I loved a certain man in the past? And how did that work out?”

“It’s hard for me to become close with someone, especially men. Liam has been by my side all these years – helping me, supporting me, warming my heart. He makes me feel at ease. I don’t think there’s anyone in this world more suitable for me than him.”

‘The reason you would think he’s suitable for you is because he suppresses his own nature to appeal to you… no, that’s not entirely right.”

Leia frowned as she searched for the right words. “It’s like he’s hiding his sharp edges to cater to you.

In truth, my brother is extremely cocky. He has lots of ideas, lots of ambition and he’s very capable.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be notoriously known as the “Little Demon King” in Beach City. He’s not the cute little obedient puppy that he appears to be in front of you.”

“I know.”

Renee said, “After all, your family earns money through the gray industries. Without some degree of ability and courage, how could you possibly keep the people in those industries in check? As the child Mr. Osborne values the most, Liam will take over the Osborne family one day. Of course he’s not a cute little obedient puppy.”

“If you know that, then don’t joke with him…”

Leia was rarely this serious. She earnestly pleaded with Renee, “My brother’s feelings for you are sincere. He might look carefree and heartless, like nothing could bother him… but he’s actually very loyal. When he falls in love, he falls in love for life. If you’re not sure that he’s the one for you, don’t give him hope. I’m worried that he might spend the rest of his life trying to forget you.”

Although Liam and her were always fighting, they were born together, so they knew each other very well.

No one knew better than Leia how much Liam loved Renee.

And no one could say for sure whether Renee had really gotten over Stefan.

If Renee got involved with Stefan again, then her brother would get hurt!

“Don’t worry, I know what you’re worried about. The things you’re worried about won’t come true.”

Renee was very clear about what choices she should make. Her voice was firm. “Maybe Liam is not my Mr. Right, but he’s definitely the man I’m willing to spend the rest of my life with. Our relationship has already transcended a normal relationship between a man and a woman.”

“I’m glad to hearthat. Maybe I’m overthinking it.”

Leia nodded.

Although she had received assurances from Renee, deep down in her heart, she still did not have high hopes for them. She could not help feeling like something would go wrong somewhere.

They soon arrived at the Everheart Residence.

There were always stories about the place being haunted, and it even burned down some time ago, so all the inhabitants nearby had moved away. The area had become a wasteland overgrown with weeds.

From a distance, the house looked gloomy and desolate. It was still cordoned off.

“Look what happened to the house I grew up in!”

Renee frowned looking at the desolation before her.

This place carried the joyful memories of three generations of Everhearts. It had a very special significance to her.

Seeing one’s home in ruin was like seeing the most precious thing in one’s heart being tainted. It was painful.

“Yeah. After the big fire, this place has become a forbidden area for Beach City’s inhabitants. It’s been abandoned for a long time and should be quite difficult to rebuild. You’re better off just buying a new house…”

Leia sighed with a regretful look on her face.

To think that this place used to be known as a wealthy area. You really couldn’t predict what would happen in life!fast update ‘There can be many houses, but there’s only one home. I’ll definitely rebuild the Everheart Residence, no matter how difficult it is.”

Besides dealing with some matters related to the Azure Group, the main focus of Renee’s trip back to Beach City was to rebuild the Everheart Residence.

They pulled the cordon up, wanting to go in to take a look.

Suddenly, someone ran over and yelled at them. “Who are you people? You can’t trespass on private property!”
