Chapter 1720

Renee was rather obedient that night in Jovan's manor. Not only did she have dinner, but she alsostayed in the living room for a long time, waiting for Jovan's return.

Jovan, who was exhausted, was filled with warmth when he returned and saw her in the living room."Are you waiting for me?" He walked over to Renee and sat close to her on the sofa, and the dimlighting made the atmosphere look intimate.

"Are you that surprised?" "I am." Jovan looked serious. "I'd imagined this scene countless times in myhead... but I know you’d only wait for me like this if you needed something from me."

Renee smiled. "Is that how you see me? As someone who's cruel and selfish?" "No, I can only blamemyself for not being charming enough. I failed to make you fall in love with me even after pursuing youfor such a long time." Jovan shook his head, a bitter smile on his face. He knew very well how sheregarded him and dared not fancy wishful thoughts.

"I do have a favor to ask." Renee was wringing her hands nervously, looking quite uncomfortable tohave to ask Jovan for a favor.

"What do you want me to help you with?" "I got bored today and asked Lisa to turn on the TV. I listenedto the news and learned that it's chaos out there..." Renee clenched her fists as she spoke, her bodytrembling. "The mass media is saying that Stefan... is dead. They say he fell off a cliff, and animals atehis corpse. You have full control of Hunt Enterprise, so... you let Briar join the board of directors. Doesthe fact that you agreed to such a preposterous thing mean that those rumors are true? Is Stefandead?" Renee figured that Jovan probably knew something he wasn't letting on, which was why he haddone something so reckless.

"If I told you that I don't know whether Stefan is alive or dead, would you believe me?" Jovan looked atRenee, disappointment clear in his voice. She had actually waited for him to come home... but it wasbecause of Stefan. Basically, Jovan had Stefan to thank for this privilege.

"I wouldn't." Renee shook her head and said sharply, "If there was a possibility that Stefan is alive, youwouldn't go all out like this. You must have heard something." "I don't know where Stefan is or how he'sdoing. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xavier or Quinton-they were the ones who went there. It'sbetter for you to ask them instead of a bad guy like me," Jovan explained honestly.

"But it's impossible..." Renee shook her head, looking confused. "If you don't know the current situation,and if Hunt Enterprise hasn't lost their leader, how could Briar join the board of directors? It's verystrange." "Grandpa agreed to let Briar join the board of directors. As for the reason he did it..." After apause, Jovan said cryptically, "You'll know in a few days."
