Chapter 189
Everheart residence.
Renee was sitting beside a window on the second floor. She had been staring out of the window for along time, but she had not seen Margaret at all.
She took out her phone and tried calling Margaret again, but her call still could not get through.
“That’s weird. It’s getting dark. Why isn’t Margaret back yet? Where is she?”
When she woke up this morning, Renee saw a note Margaret left on the dining table, saying that shewas going to take care of some personal matters and would be back soon. She told Renee not toworry.
But an entire day had passed and Margaret still had not come home. She could not even be contacted.Something was wrong!
Renee was worried that Margaret might have ran into trouble. Considering her recent situation, therewere many people whonovelbin
were waiting for an opportunity to get back at her.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Renee could not sit still any longer. She grabbed a jacket andwent out to look for Margaret.
The moment she stepped outside, Renee saw a familiar silver sports car parked at the gate.
A slender man was casually leaning against the car, his shadow drawn long under the dim yellow streetlamp.
He held a cigarette between his long fingers. He gave off a cold, aloof aura, deadly attractive.
Renee’s heart throbbed despite herself. She could not move her eyes away.
The man was Stefan, a man she did not want to see at all!
‘That’s weird. What’s he doing here?!”
‘And judging from the remaining length of the cigarette between his fingers, it seems like he’s beenhere for a long time?”
Although Renee was curious, she walked straight past Stefan with a deadpan face, as if he wasinvisible.
Stefan raised his eyebrows, but he was not mad. He casually put out the cigarette and threw the buttinto a trash can next to him, then quietly followed behind Renee.
He was tall, so he had a long shadow, and the shadow soon overlapped with Renee’s, as if they werehugging each other.
There was an ambiguous feeling in the air.
Renee noticed Stefan following her. At first, she tried to ignore him, but she had already walked fornearly a kilometer and
Stefan was still following her. It made her mad for some reason. She suddenly stopped and turnedaround.
“Are you a sex offender? Why are you following me? What do you want?”
Stefan and Renee were walking very close together. When she suddenly stopped and turned around,they almost ran into each
other.
But it was precisely this tiny, awkward gap between them that made both of them feel a bit unnatural.
Stefan cleared his throat and tried to put on his usual cold and aloof face. He smirked and said. “Whyare you wandering. around alone in the middle of the night? You’re making yourself the perfect victimfor a sex offender.”
His words made Renee really angry.
“What kind of stupid logic is that? Are you saying that it’s the victim’s fault? Why have I never noticedbefore what a terribly crooked moral view you have?”

Renee retorted sharply. “But, honestly, it’s no surprise. Can’t expect someone who lets himself getmixed up with a wicked woman like Briar Desrosiers to have a good moral view. I must have been blindto actually marry a man like you!”
Stefan was not angry. Instead, his thin lips curled into a meaningful smile.
That was because he could clearly hear a strong feeling of jealousy in Renee’s words. It made him feelgood.
“I’ve always wondered, why do you always get emotional when you talk about Briar?”
“Duh. Of course it’s because I hate her!”
“Is that so?”
Stefan’s raised his eyebrows slightly as he continued to ask, “Do you actually hate her or do you hateher for ruining our
marriage?”
“You… What the hell are you trying to say?”
Renee involuntarily took a step back. Stefan felt strange tonight, as if he was possessed.
“If I say that my feelings for Briar are not what you think they are, and I’m protecting her for some otherreasons, would you let
her off the hook?”
“Some other reasons?”
Renee frowned and immediately asked, “What other reasons?”
