Chapter 994

Quinton was reading the newspapers at the time, and as he lowered his hands, a sharp glare was revealed.

“I… I’m just going to tend to some work in the company. There’s going to be a lot of new projects coming in, so I figured I should head back to work after such a long vacation.”

“You’re my sister. As long as I’m here to provide for you, you can have a lifelong vacation if you so, please. Besides, it’s been quite dangerous lately, so I’d say you should rest a little longer before returning to your work.”

Quinton was considered the current head of the Everheart family, hence somehow taking up the father figure role. He couldn’t help but wish he could place Renee under lockdown forever just to ensure her safety.

After all, Beach City was currently in an ever-changing state. Moreover, he had made many enemies in the past and was very worried that his sister would be dragged into his mess.

“Oh, now you’re just being dramatic. I’m not a weakling! If anyone dares to try something on me, that just means they’ve got a death wish! Don’t worry!” Renee waved nonchalantly, then kissed Adie and Abby on their cheeks.

“Be good, you two, and listen to your uncle and Aunt Margaret. I’ll be back in a jiffy.”

“Alright, be careful, Mommy, and stay safe!” The little ones pecked her back on the cheek, not worried about their mother’s safety.

‘Uncle may not have seen how great Mommy is, but we have! Many, many times! She can do anything!’ They thought to themselves.

“Ah, Miss Ren, wait!” Margaret got up and caught up to her. “Take this medicinal pouch with you. I just feel like your nightmare is some kind of bad omen. Anything that might prevent it counts.”

“Relax, Margaret, I’m not scared of anything or anyone! I’m confident that I can take down any monsters or demons in my way!” Renee replied confidently as she tucked the pouch into her pocket.

However, the woman wasn’t heading toward the company but instead a filming location.

When she returned from the hospital last night, she could contact Shirley through certain methods.

Shirley seemed overjoyed after realizing it was her and immediately agreed to meet.

Coincidentally, the venue was in Strix Island, exactly where she and Briar fought.

“Talk about bad luck!” Renee gulped as she parked her car, staring at the familiar space in front of her.

She had a bad feeling about this.

“Hello, Miss Everheart. I’m Shirley’s manager. She’s still busy with the film at the moment, so I’ll be taking you to the waiting area first. Is that alright with you?” The manager came up to Renee with all smiles. Her enthusiasm felt odd to Renee.

“It’s okay. Let her finish up with her work first. I’m not in a rush.” Renee responded courteously, as she wasn’t one to shut down friendliness.

The waiting area was around a sheltered flat ground, and she had a clear view of the film set.

“Miss Everheart, here are some snacks.” The manager came over with a few slices of various fruits and then rambled.

“You know, I’ve admired you for the longest time! I actually didn’t want to take in any more newcomers when Mr. Stuart mentioned he had someone he wanted to recommend. I was planning on retiring after all. I already have superstars like Miley, Yasmine, and many others too. But the moment I saw Shirley, I immediately changed my mind… Want to know why?”

“Uhm, why?” Renee asked awkwardly. She had no problem socializing but was still somewhat wary of overly friendly people like these.
