"I would have come to you ages ago if I was, Mr. Hunt. I don't think your friend would hide her identity," Renee lied,

her heart pounding in her chest.

"No, she might. That's why I dare to hope that... maybe you're her."

"You're overthinking—I'm not her. Plus, I'm willing to give up my eyes for money. What would your old friend want if

she gave up her eyes for you?"

"She..." Jovan trailed off, not knowing how to respond. Renee had children, a successful business, as well as

countless possibilities with Stefan. There was no way she would give up her wonderful life to save a villain like Jovan.

His expression turned cold again, and he muttered, "Go then; well meet again the day after tomorrow. After the

surgery, you can tell me how much you want. I'll be responsible for you and your family."

"Thank you, Mr. Hunt. I won't have to worry anymore thanks to you." Renee casually patted Jovan's chest and left

the balcony.

Meanwhile, Eloise was wringing her hands and pacing worriedly downstairs. When she saw Renee descend the

stairs, she immediately went to her. "How did it go? Did he figure out who you were?"

"Almost."

"And then?"

"I managed to fool him." Renee looked at the balcony and sighed. "He's a really loyal man, and I don't deserve his

love. I'll always feel guilty if I don't return his eyes to him."

"Well... thank you then." Eloise's eyes glistened with tears.

"I'll return to the basement if there's nothing else for me to do," Renee said softly.

"I'm sorry..." Eloise said, feeling ashamed. She had used extreme means to kidnap Renee because she thought that

Renee would be difficult and ungrateful, but it seemed like the woman Jovan fell in love with was no ordinary

person. She had been overly critical and judgy of Renee, who didn't deserve it. Eloise sighed and said, "By the way, I

think you should take your phone back. You have a lot of missed calls. You can either reply to them or not... You can

always leave if you don't want to do this." After thinking it through, she felt that Renee had to do this willingly. If not,

Jovan would dig his eyes out instead of enjoying his sight.

"Sure." Renee felt that her friends and family might get suspicious if she didn't speak to them. She had to let them

know that she was safe so everything could run smoothly. Eloise returned Renee's phone to her, and it started

beeping the moment she turned it on. Renee's eyes widened at the amount of missed calls and texts she received.

There were missed calls from Margaret, Quinton, and Leia, but the person who had called her the most was...

Stefan.
