Chapter 1017
While the heated argument ensued, two rays of light appeared in the dark. After that, the sound of tires screeching
could be heard.
Renee opened the door of the driver's seat and got out of the car coldly. She aloofly stared at the two people who
were illuminated by the rays of light.
"What are you guys doing?"
She demanded arrogantly and superiorly.
Both Jovan and Seraphina were stunned.
"Great! Renee, here you are!"
His tense facial features were instantly relaxed. He was so unsettled that his eyes turned watery. "Do you know how
you scared me? I nearly jumped into the river to look for you..."
Renee frowned slightly and asked in a trance, "Why did you want to jump into the river to look for me?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter she left Hunt Villa, she wanted to return to Carmine Pawnshop. However, she was still worried about
Seraphina, so she went back there to release her and talk to her about Stefan.
When she drove to the warehouse, she saw two people having a heated argument at the river bank. Unexpectedly,
they were Jovan and Seraphina.
Before Jovan could answer, Seraphina struggled out of his grasp and rushed toward Renee crazily. She then slapped
Renee hard.
"You jinx! Why are you still alive? Stefan dived into the river to save you. If anything happens to him, I'll fight you
until my last breath!"
"Stefan?"
Renee could no longer keep her aloofness. She asked in disbelief, "What are you joking about? Isn't he at Hunt Villa?
Why did he come here? Did he... dive into the river?"
"What do you think? He did that to save a jinx like you. Why didn't you kill yourself? Just go to hell! Once you're
dead, all of us will be free!"
Seraphina's hatred toward Renee had reached its peak. Completely unhinged and unrestrained, she attacked
Renee. Her hair that hung loosely about her made her look like a deranged psychopath.
"Seraphina, are you out of your mind? You can't hurt her!"
Jovan reacted fast and rushed forward before he grabbed Seraphina's hair and pushed her to the side.
"Are you okay? Does your face hurt? Did he scratch you?"
He held Renee's face and looked at the clear slap mark on her face with deep heartache. He then said fiercely, "I
think I'd better push her into the river as well so she won't scheme against you again."
Seraphina collapsed on the ground and appeared enlightened. Her fingers trembled as she pointed at them. "I see.
You guys conspired to harm Stefan. You pretended to go missing to lure Stefan here, then Jovan lied to him about
someone in the river. Stefan was just a fool. He stupidly dived into the river just like that. You two are so wicked and
cruel. What a cheating couple!"
"Shut up! You're noisy."
Jovan shot Seraphina a cold glare and found her quite annoying. He then said calmly, "I did lie to that stupid Stefan,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand he dived into the river as a result. But I didn't expect him to be so dumb. He's blind, but he still tried to act
strong and save the damsel in distress. It serves him right if he's dead... But this thing has nothing to do with Renee.
She's a victim too. If you speak nonsense again, I'll push you into the river so you can reunite with Stefan."
Renee gradually learned about the ins and outs of the incident from their conversation. Her eyes turned red, and a
spear drove through her heart. She sobbed and looked at Jovan, "Did... Did you mean that Stefan dived into the
river just... to save me?"
"That's right. He dived into the river a few minutes ago. I'm sure he's crushed to mush now. That's because he's
dumb. It was a trap, but he jumped right in like an idiot,” Jovan spat arrogantly before he lowered his head gently.
He held her swollen face tenderly. "I won't let anyone bully you again. Never!"
"Don’t touch me!" Renee roared at him. "At first, I thought
that you were just crazy. It turns out that you're not only crazy, but you're wicked... wicked to the core."
Jovan felt excruciating pain before he cracked a sinister and stubborn sneer. "Yes, that's true. Of course, I have to
be wicked. If not, I can't defeat him for the rest of my life, let alone gain you... Do you know how much I love you,
Renee?"
"Love?"
