Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 61

Stefan pushed open the door and saw that Micah, who was under the influence of the drug, was

pinning Charlotte beneath him and trying to have sex with her.

“Stefan, help me!”

As of seeing a lifeline, Charlotte screamed at Stefan for help.

Although Micah was her boyfriend and they had had sex a long time ago, this was a situation she just

could not accept. It was too humiliating!

Stefan’s eyes coldly swept across the two on the floor and took away what belonged to Renee on the

table.

“Serve you right!”

He left without looking back after saying those words.

His cousin was spoiled to the point of being too lawless. It was time for her to taste some pain.

When he got downstairs and saw Renee waiting at the door, he frowned. “We are not divorced yet. You

are still the mistress of this villa.”

“No, thank you!”

Renee took the things in the man’s hand and left without bothering to say goodbye.

It was already late at night at the moment.

Renee stood outside the villa and tried to call for a cab, but because it was too far from the main city,

no driver was willing to take the order.

Not long after, Stefan pulled up in front of her in his silver Bugatti Veyron. His handsome face was cold.

“Get in!”

It was not an invitation, but an order.

Renee hesitated for a while but did not refuse. She pulled open the passenger door and got into

the car. (1)

But when she saw the things on the seat, she was a little surprised.

“Where did you get this?”

She saw an amber pendant on the car bench. It was identical to the one she had found in the

graveyard this morning.

A bold guess came up in her mind. Could he be the one who visited her parents’ grave today and

dropped the amber pendant? But it couldn’t be. Why would he buy two identical pendants? Was it just

a coincidence?

“Your pendant…”

“Don’t touch my stuff!”

He sounded hostile and snatched away the pendant coldly.

“Tsk!”

She was a bit disappointed, thinking that it should be a coincidence and she must have been

overthinking.

Stefan did not even care about her, so how could he remember the death anniversary of her parents

and bother to send flowers to pay respects?

It was a love me, love my dog kind of thing. What was she expecting?

She looked out the car window, hoping to get home as soon as possible.

However, she immediately discovered that the route he took was not right.

“This was not the way back to Sunup Residence. Where are you going?”

Stefan did not answer. His eyes were focused in front. “You’ll know when you get there.”

She furrowed her brows and said, “Stop the car. I’m getting off.”

If it were not for the difficulty of getting a cab in that area and he so happened to live in the same

neighborhood as her, she would not have considered getting into the car!

But now, the road was unfamiliar and she did not dare to get into a stranger’s car.

“Sit tight!”

He pressed the lock button and stepped on the gas pedal harder, and the car picked up speed

immediately, overtaking several cars in a row.

“What are you doing? Don’t drag me with you if you want to die. Slow down!”

Renee was so scared that her back was pressed against the seat and her fingers were gripping the

armrest.

It was not that she was a coward. She had learned car racing back then and experienced a higher

speed than this. It was just that she was worried about the babies in her belly being scared.

“We are almost there. Don’t worry. I’m not going to sell you!”

Stefan’s handsome face was expressionless when he continued to speed up.

It took about ten minutes for the car to pull up at Paris La Nuit Club.

Renee knew about this club. It was very high class and had a strict membership system. Those who

were members were either the rich or the aristocrats of Beach City.

This was weird. Why would this man bring her to such a place all of a sudden?

“Get out of the car.”

Stefan parked the car and unlocked the passenger door.

Renee, seeing that she was free, hurriedly opened the door to run away.

But Stefan grabbed her wrist with his big palm and said in an absolutely assertive tone, “You have to

accompany me to this meeting today.”

“We are in the middle of a divorce. Why should I play along with you? What’s in it for me?”

Renee, who was no longer her past self who was at his beck and call, said proudly, “My appearance

fee is very high, you know?”

“One hundred thousand per minute.”

“Deal!”

She replied immediately with a bright smile, “You are indeed generous, Mr. Hunt!”

Thinking about her past self, she really found that she was very silly to be willing to be his puppet who

was ready to accompany him to any occasion at any time without getting anything in compensation.

Even reckoning made long friends, what’s more with husbands and wives!

The two were led by the waiter to the room on the highest floor of the club called the “Night

Banquet.”

This room was the classiest in the entire club and was only used to receive their most

Sunguished members.

Renee heard cheerful voices and laughter from afar.

The moment Stefan entered the room, he suddenly pressed the pause button, and all the voices

stopped awkwardly.

A tall, handsome man rushed over, his eyes widening. “Holy sh*t, Stef, am I dreaming? Are

you really here?”
