Chapter 1717

In the past, Jovan manipulated Stefan's feigned death to snatch away the company, but it had beenStefan’s trap. He had waited for Jovan to walk into it, and the ending had been delightful. However, thistime...

Xavier and Quinton had worked with the villagers living in the mountains to look for Stefan every day,but they failed to replace any clues related to him. He was missing, and it broke Xavier's heart. Xavierknew that Stefan would not easily fall to death, but right now, it was the only plausible option.

Stefan would not go missing and give them no news if he had not fallen to his death.

"I know even if you don't tell me. It must be bad... You haven't found him, right?" Jovan asked slowly."You wouldn't look this worried if you had. I believe what the rumors say-my pitiful cousin might havefallen off a cliff and got eaten by beasts." "Shut up!" Enraged, Xavier threw another punch at Jovan.

A sigh escaped Jovan. "You might not believe me, but I don't want him dead. I have yet to fight himfairly, so I won't be happy if I win like this." The real competition between Jovan and Stefan had notstarted, so Jovan didn't want things to end with a forfeit.

Meanwhile, Leia was exhausted from beating Briar up, and accidentally knocked off Briar's mask. Hereyes widened when she saw Briar's scarred face. "You..." Leia felt uneasy seeing Briar lying on theground with her hair messed and her face scarred. ' How did your face end up like this?" At first, Leiahad thought that Briar was just wearing the mask to look cool, but now she knew the truth... It seemedlike Briar had not had it easy during the time of her disappearance. For some reason, Leia suddenly feltsorry for Briar. Ugh, was something wrong with her? How could she pity such a bad person?

"You should ask your best friend since you're so curious." Calmly, Briar put her mask back on, hatredgleaming in her eyes. "I'm not a good person, but neither is your friend. She should be grateful that I'malive. If not, she would become a murderer." "W-What do you mean? Don't slander Ren!" "Go back andask her then..." Briar sneered and added, "If you want to know where she is, I can tell you." Then, sheexposed the address of Jovan’s manor. "She's enjoying her life there, and doesn't want to leave..."Briar purposely tried to sow discord between Leia and Renee. "You're worried sick about her, but she'sbeing all lovey-dovey with her rebound. Your friendship with her is just one-sided." "Nonsense!" Leiaprotested. "Ren must be locked up. She knows that I'm worried about her, and would have contactedme if she could." "Go and see for yourself if you don't believe me. Then, you'll know how pretentiousyour so-called bestie is!"
