"Underground casino?" Renee asked urgently, "Which underground casino?" "That's hard to say. Youdon't understand gambling addicts-they'll go to all the underground casinos once they're addicted. Theywon't stay put in one place.’ "You're lying!" Renee didn't believe Jovan. Firstly, Stefan would contactRenee immediately if he was alive-there was no way he would be lingering in underground casinos.Secondly, his properties were enough to support him for his whole life, so he didn't have to hide even ifhe lost money every day. Also, Renee had never seen Stefan show an interest in gambling from thetime she'd first met him. It was impossible to imagine Stefan becoming addicted to gambling in the onemonth he went missing. There was only one possibility when she thought about it, and that was thatJovan was lying to Renee on purpose.

"I know you don't trust me, so I wasn't planning on telling you." While talking, Jovan picked up apancake and munched it slowly. "But I saw you speaking to Briar that day. I figured you must bedesperate to know how he's doing now, so after a lot of contemplation, I decided to tell you." "You..."Renee swallowed, feeling awkward. "How did you know I asked Briar about it?" "What else could it beabout?" Jovan sneered. "Plus, I know much more than you think. I've known about the thing you didn'twant me to know, and I've known it for a while now."

Coldness gripped Renee, and shame made her cheeks burn. "And... what would that be?" "The thingyou're thinking of right now."

Renee was at a loss for words. It seemed like Jovan had seen those photos before her, which was whyhe was being so shameless and relentless. He might have figured that her relationship with Stefan wasunstable after the incident with Briar, and that even a strong relationship would be hard to maintainonce there was a crack; it would fall apart sooner or later.

"I sometimes think that you might have never truly understood my so- called flawless cousin. Youthought he didn't gamble, but he was seen in an underground casino. You thought that he was loyal toa fault, but he..." Jovan trailed off, then slowly took a sip of his wine. He didn't say anything more on thesubject.

Renee clenched her fists, her fingernails stabbing into her palms. She forced her tone to be calm asshe said, "I know what kind of person he is, I don't need opinions from outsiders like you. The thingsyou said weren't confirmed by him, so there has to be some kind of misunderstanding. I'll clear it up, Iassure you." "You're bold. I'll wish you luck." Jovan lowered his eyes and smiled sadly. Love truly wasblind. Stefan could make countless mistakes and Renee would forgive him because she loved him. Onthe contrary, Renee would not care about Jovan regardless of how perfect he was because she didn'tlove him.

After leaving the restaurant, Renee looked at the crowded streets, unsure of where to go. After a while,she took out her phone and dialed a number she hadn't called for a long time...
