Chapter 471

“I don’t believe you!” Leia was still worried. She turned to look at Liam.” Liam, think of something.

Renee must’ve experienced something devastating. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so downtrodden.

Although you guys broke up, you can’t just ignore her. Didn’t you wait all night to talk to her after she returned? Why are you being silent?’

Leia had always been hot-headed. She directly pushed Liam into Renee’s room and closed the door with a bang. She then locked the door from the outside.

Liam instantly panicked and tried to open the door, but it wouldn’t budge.” Leia, damn it! Open the door!’

“I don’t care. You have to make Renee feel better tonight. Otherwise, don’t even think about coming out,” Leia uttered. Worried that the lock might not hold, she even attached a steel bar as a latch for good measure.

It couldn’t be helped -her brother was too passive-if she didn’t lend him a hand, he wouldn’t even stand a chance!

Renee and Liam were left in the large room all alone. They looked at each other.

“rm sorry. You know how my sister never thinks things through.” Liam chucked his hands into his pockets. He pretended to be casual and nonchalant. It was as if their argument in H Group had never happened.

Renee smiled exhaustedly. ’I’m the one who should apologize. Jovan is a nutcase. I thought I could get some useful information from him, but I realized he was full of nonsense. It was a complete waste of my time. It even affected our relationship. I’m such an idiot!” Renee’s head hung low while she sat in front of the dressing table. She buried her head in her hands, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

Liam frowned when he saw this. He felt bad for her. “Looks like you’ve found out. Cry if you want to.

You don’t have to pretend that you don’t care. This isn’t something to be embarrassed about.”

From the moment Jovan showed up, Liam knew that it was impossible to keep Stefan’s death a secret.

He reacted so strongly in H Group and insisted on not letting Jovan get close to Renee, worried that Renee couldn’t handle the news.

Unfortunately, she still found out in the end…

‘Haha. I… What have I found out? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Renee was still pretending, but she wasn’t doing a good job at it. This made Liam feel even worse for her.

He walked up to her and gently patted her on the shoulder, as though channeling energy into her body.

’Just let it out. After all, he’s the man you once loved deeply. It’s normal that you’d want to cry for him.”

“Just don’t stay sad for too long. You have to get back on your feet and live your life. Adie and Abby are still waiting for you. You can’t give up…” He added.

“Don’t make things up!” Renee suddenly looked up at Liam. Her eyes filled with tears of anger. “Jovan lied to me, and so did you! Do all of you think I’m so easy to fool? Stefan is a tough man, and he won’t die so easily. This is a laughable lie!”

“I know you don’t want to face the truth. Well, let’s just pretend he’s still alive. If it makes you feel better, I’ll tell you he’s still alive too. You can stop crying for him.” Liam could tell Renee was greatly affected by Stefan’s death.

Renee was normally not quite as weak. Why wouldn’t she be able to face the truth?

Since she was unwilling to accept the truth, he’d continue lying to her for the rest of his life. This was what he planned to do from the very beginning.

“Whether he’s dead or alive has nothing to do with me. I won’t shed a single tear for him. Even if he died saving me, I could only say that he’s too unlucky…” Renee took a deep breath and walked shakily to her bed. She fell onto the bed and said with her back to Liam, “I’m tired. I want to sleep.

Save it for tomorrow.”

Liam looked at her scrawny figure as she wept and shook uncontrollably and felt like he had been stabbed in the chest…

‘Stefan, are you dead or alive? If you’re alive, just come out. How can you call yourself a man when you make a woman cry for you?
