Chapter 822

Stefan froze, and finally realized that Renee could have misunderstood him.

They didn’t exactly sleep with each other, they merely slept together, but… he didn’t exactly intend to clear things up. Instead, he smirked slyly and teased, “What do you take me for? Do you really think you can just sleep with me whenever you like?”

“I take you as a toy, okay?” Renee blushed and quickly got out of his embrace. She then rummaged through her pockets and took out six hundred dollars, finally throwing the cash at the man’s handsome face.

Putting on an arrogant face, she said nonchalantly, “Here’s your payment – just tell me if it’s not enough.”

Stefan was speechless, and smiled icily. “How generous!”

“Good! Now bye!” Renee waved and opened the car door, getting ready to make her escape.

‘You’ll have to be a little shameless if you want an easier life, after all! Anything that seems indecent won’t make you feel as bad, nor would you need to face the consequences.’

For example, although she slept with Stefan, he couldn’t exactly blame her for her actions. He only has his good looks to blame. He was clearly trying to seduce her!

Stefan tried to get out of the car as well, but his entire body was feeling quite stiff and sore, especially his back. Just as he sat up, he heard a cracking sound coming from his back, and then he couldn’t move.

“Damn it!” He cursed. Elijah was right after all – Stefan had strained his back.

“Everheart!” Stefan called out to the woman coldly.

“What is it now?”

“Come and help me out.” Stefan was quite embarrassed, as his ego didn’t allow him to ask for help unless absolutely necessary.

“Help you?” Renee turned around, staring at the stiff man in confusion. “You don’t look like you need help though.”

“I strained my back, I can’t move.”

“Why would you strain your back out of nowhere?”

“Why do you think?” Stefan scowled menacingly. “You slept on me the whole night – anybody’s back would strain!”

He only intended to rant about how Renee had slept on top of him for the entire night, causing his entire body to become stiff from overexertion. However, hearing this made Renee blush, and she scolded herself in her mind. ‘Damn, what the heck, Renee Everheart? Just how much did you take from this man? That’s the legendary Stefan Hunt, and his back has been strained… If people find out about this, I’d be known as a succubus that hunts down strong men!’

“You… really strained your back?” Renee might blame herself, but she still refused to believe that she had done so. “You’re not trying to scam me, are you?”

Stefan’s expression darkened, and he clenched his fists as he huffed. “You would’ve been done for… if I could move.”

Renee pondered slightly and figured that he was right, letting out a sigh of relief. She walked up to him, and put a finger under his chin, lifting his head slightly. “Hey pretty boy, if your body is in such bad shape, don’t talk big! If you need my help, you can be a little sweeter about it, you know? What are you so mad about?”

“Don’t push your limits, Everheart!” Stefan bit out icily.

“I’m just stating the facts. You’re pretty weak, aren’t you? Your back was strained after just one night!

How long has it been since you stopped training? Those old gears are rusting…” Renee gave a cheeky smile and pinched his face, then punched his chest and sighed deeply.

“Ah, this poor man won’t admit that he’s weak. No matter how much potential you have, you didn’t train yourself well! It’s a waste of talent, you know?” Renee said dramatically.

Stefan wanted to punch someone, but knew that he had no choice but to compromise.
