Chapter 628

Francine leaned against the door, looking more and more confused. “This doesn’t sound right. Now it’s Stefan screaming… Is he getting beaten up?” “How can that be? Mrs. Hunt is so graceful and delicate, like a feeble, wealthy lady. She couldn’t possibly do such heinous things.”

“Ah, you don’t know her. Don’t be deceived by her kind exterior – she’s actually a tough fighter on the inside. She reminds me of myself when I was younger!”

“If that’s the case, don’t be concerned. It demonstrates Mrs. Hunt’s ability to keep Mr. Hunt in check.

Well, I never imagined Mr. Hunt would have such a day. I’m embarrassed to hear what’s going on inside.” Lisa couldn’t help but cover her face as she imagined what was happening.

“You’re right… She can keep him in check!” Francine’s eyes shone and she praised Renee, saying, “Renee is a gem. She excels at everything, even this! She really is flawless. Oh, my wish to have a grandchild seems to be coming true.”

They quickly left, and the electricity was suddenly restored.

Stefan and Renee had no idea their strategy would be so successful. When the lights came back on, they were in a very intimate position. Renee was straddling Stefan as she tickled him, and Stefan’s arms were wrapped around Renee’s waist possessively.

However, when the lights came on, they froze, looking embarrassed.

“Looks like we no longer need to act.” Renee dusted her clothes and got off him awkwardly.

Stefan also felt uneasy, and he muttered under his breath, “Yeah, it seems like there’s no need for it anymore.”

Renee went to open the door, and it opened promptly. She sighed in relief and turned to Stefan.

“Everything was just a misunderstanding. I’m sorry for bothering you.”

“What is the misunderstanding?” His voice was firm but playful. “You haven’t told me who you’re searching for yet.”

“Nobody.” It was clear from Margaret’s messages that Stefan had not abducted Adie and Abby. That meant that the whole Hunt family was unaware of the children’s existence.

“You wouldn’t just come all the way here for nothing,” Stefan’s gaze was searching as he stared into her eyes.

“The reason for my visit is…” She paused briefly before remarking cynically, “I came to see whether you really are dead. After all, you were supposedly reduced to ashes in a cemetery.”

He wasn’t upset. “Are you happy I’m alive?” He sarcastically said, crossing his arms against his chest and leaning against the door frame.

She rolled her eyes at him and turned around. “I’m not going to give up. Since you’re still alive, our war has officially begun.”

Renee went down the stairs and spotted Timothy pretending to read the newspapers on the sofa.

She squinted at the old man suspiciously. “Were you in on this, Grandpa Hunt?”
