Chapter 623

Stefan’s gaze was frigid as he stared at Renee.

“There’s no one here, so you can just be honest with me. What happened to them? They need to bereleased immediately. I’m willing to give up everything forthem – even my life. Don’t push me, Stefan,I’m warning you.” Renee clenched her fists tightly, her entire body tense. She had given birth to Addieand Abby and raised them with all her love and attention. They weren’t just her life, they were also theEverheart family’s future.

Stefan might have tried to take them away, but she would definitely get them back.

“I’m not sure what you’re saying.” Stefan looked perplexed as he frowned at her. “Who are you referringto?”

“Stop acting dumb!” Renee burst out furiously. She was so enraged that she approached him, grabbedhim by the collar, and warned, “I’ll count to three, and if you don’t give them to me, I’ll break your neck.You already know I’m capable of it!”

“You want to break my neck?” The corners of his lips curved upwards into a lazy smile, and hewhispered challengingly, “Go ahead… Do it.”

“Do you think I’m afraid?” Renee’s eyes blazed with anger, and her lips twitched as she bit out, “Three,two, one…”

To her surprise, the lights in the room went out before she could do anything to him. It was now pitchblack, and even the lights in the surrounding mansions were out.

“What’s happening?” She demanded, letting go of Stefan as she looked around.

‘Have I walked into their trap? That has to be it! Stefan kidnapped Addie and Abby, lured me here, andis now trying to kill me so he can get custody of the kids!’ She thought in horror. Her skin prickled justthinking about it.

‘The Hunt family might be cruel, but you underestimate my abilities.” Renee growled, then reached outto wrap her slender fingers around Stefan’s neck again. “Don’t try anything. If anything happens to me,you’ll die with me.”

“You’re overthinking. We’re not that bored, and even if we wanted to hurt you, we wouldn’t get ourhands dirty doing it,” Stefan scoffed.

‘After so many years, she’s still an overthinker. How could she think that we would use such anamateur way to hurt her?’ He thought.

“Then what is going on? Why did all the lights go off?” Renee asked him impatiently.novelbin

“Obviously, the power is out,” Stefan said irritatedly.

At that moment, they heard a servant’s voice from outside the room. “I apologize, Mr. Hunt and MissRenee. Something went wrong with the mansion’s circuit, and the electricity has gone off completely.Can you wait for a while? We’ll get someone to repair it right away.”

‘Wait?” Renee swallowed nervously, suddenly realizing she was a bit too close to Stefan.

‘Are they actually expecting us to stay together in the dark?’ She thought anxiously.
