Floating Cloud Villa.

During the day, the primeval forest with dense vegetation was a natural oxygen bar for the wealthy, a

place for them to take vacations and recuperate. However, during the night, it was a dangerous place

where all kinds of wild beasts roamed,

At the center of the forest was a sealed underground bunker surrounded by vines and thorns. Few

people came to this area. Right now, it was emitting a faint blue light which looked like ghost fire in the

dark night.

Rence was sitting at the bottom of the hole. The humid air carried a musty smell, and occasionally mice

and cockroaches would crawl past her. Her delicate little face was expressionless. She was calm.

Heh, that fool Jane South thought that if she tricked Renee into this air-raid shelter and locked her in,

she would be teaching Renee a lesson.

However, Renee’s grandfather had taught her survival skills in the wild when she was little. This

environment was no doubt a nightmare for ordinary people, but for her, it was nothing

In truth, Rence had a hundred ways to escape, but she did not.

Not only did she not escape, she even intentionally made herself look like she was in a

miserable state, like she was about to die at any moment.

Renee rubbed the ground with a stone to start a fire, then made use the light to write on the

wall with a stone.

“10, 9, 8, 7…”

She counted down in her mind.

According to their plan, Liam would be rushing here with Jerome South’s men very soon.

Rence was worried that she might not look miserable enough, so she quickly ruffled her hair even

more, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, and wiped it on her cheeks.

Sure enough, Rence soon heard the sound of an SUV being driven at full speed. It was getting

closer and closer to her.

She quickly extinguished the fire and lay “dying” on the ground…

In the dark, quiet night, the metallic door of the air-raid shelter was forcibly pried open with a

bang.

Amidst the moonlight, Renee saw a tall figure jump down from above. She cleared her throat and was

preparing to tragically cry out for help.

But the next second, she heard a voice that completely took her by surprise.

“Renee, are you okay?”

The cold voice that carried a bit of nerve was so clear yet sounded so unreal in the dark.

Stefan?!

How could it be him?!

“1”

Renee was so confused.

What was Stefan doing here in the middle of the night? How should she continue her act with his

sudden intrusion?

Stefan tightly grasped Renee’s thin shoulders with his big hands and carefully examined her whole

body under the dim moonlight. After confirming that she was not injured, his tightly furrowed eyebrows

relaxed slightly.

“Jane South has gone too far! This is unforgivable!”

His cold, stern face, outlined by the moonlight, was so perfect that Renee could not stop looking at it,

as if she was bewitched.

She quickly shook her head and tried to keep a clear head.

“Umm… Mr. Hunt, I’m fine. Liam will be here to rescue me soon. You can go back now. Don’t worry

about me.”

Renee distanced herself from Stefan and said politely.

After all, being alone in a space like this was inappropriate for two people who were about to get a

divorce.

But more importantly, Liam will be here with Jerome South’s men to rescue her soon. She had a whole

show planned out.

If Stefan stayed, or worse, took her way, the show could not go on!

“That no-good pretty boy again…”

Stefan’s handsome face turned gloomy. He held Renee’s tiny face with his long fingers and stared

deep into her eyes, as if to see through her.

“Can you explain to me what kind of charm Liam Osborne has? How did he bewitch you to this extent?”

Renee was frightened by how fierce he looked. She put on a docile appearance and a fake smile.

“Well… maybe it’s because he’s handsome? His face confirms to my sense of aesthetics.”

It was merely a random excuse to make Stefan leave as soon as possible. “That’s why you can go

now. Let him be the hero that saves the damsel in distress. You’re just the ex-husband, so you should

stay out of this,”

Stefan’s face darkened. He fought back the urge to tear her into pieces.

Haha, because he’s handsome?

He, Stefan, was widely recognized as the most handsome man in the entire Beach City. How could

Liam Osborne with his influencer-like face even compare to him?

“Shut up!”

Stefan could not be bothered arguing with her. He simply swept Renee off her feet and was prepared to

carry her away from the place.

Rence was about to resist when she suddenly sensed an incoming danger. She immediately froze and

warned Stefan in a soft voice, “Be careful… Stefan, don’t move!”
