Chapter 413

"Come on, hit me! Aren't you a great fighter? Beat me till I bleed, or you can always return the favor and choke me to death!" Stefan declared as he shifted her hand to his neck, his expression serious to show her he wasn't joking.

"Are... Are you insane?" Renee was utterly stunned by the man's actions, and her anger morphed into confusion. She tried to pu her hand away, scowling. "There are cameras here, so don't you dare try to get me in trouble!"

"Then I'll just let them see that I allowed you to hit me! If you kill or cripple me, I'll take full responsibility for it."

"You've definitely gone mad!" Renee was finally able to escape his grasp, and quickly stepped away from the man like he was a rabid animal.

'Ugh, as expected from the madman Stefan Hunt - he's actually willing to get beaten up! It's pretty creepy, honestly..."

"I wronged you four years ago, so now I'm giving you the chance to take revenge! You're the one who refused the opportunity, so let's not bring this up anymore. It'll only damage our relationship." Stefan looked at Renee coldly, his demeanor returning to his usual aloof pride.

Only then was Renee able to understand his motives.

"Hunt, who the hell said we still had a future with each other?! We don't have a relationship to begin with, so what is there to damage?" Renee said incredulously, trying to calm herself down.

'I swore that I'd never let this man affect my mood so easily!1

"We can always build a relationship even if we don't have one. Even if the end result is resentment, it's still worth it!" Stefan said with a smirk, his tone teasing but his expression serious.

Renee gulped nervously, then scoffed, "Looks like you've really lost your mind."

Just then, Briar regained consciousness. As if she had become a completely different person, she rushed towards Renee and dropped to her knees before her. "I'm so sorry, Miss Everheart! I won't try to take Stef from you ever again, so please let my child and I go! Please have mercy, I beg you..."

"What... What's going on?" Renee watched in shock as Briar begged and groveled, feeling like her entire worldview had just collapsed. Was this just her bad luck or was something really going on?

Stefan seemed cold as he helped Briar to her feet. "Briar, did you not take your meds before heading out today?"

"I... I..."

"Damn it." Stefan let out a long sigh, and fished out a jar of pills from his pocket. He took one out and ordered Briar, "Take it." "Stef, I don't want to... The medicine is so bitter, and I can't take such things when I'm pregnant! It'll be bad for the baby! Please don't make me take the pill... I won't mess around or bother Miss Everheart anymore, just please... no pills!" Briar begged pitifully.

However, Stefan was stern. "Eat it!"

"Okay, okay... Please don't get mad and abandon me..." Briar took the pill and swallowed it with a face full of tears.

Renee, who had been watching everything, was speechless. She couldn't help but feel conflicted, and whispered to Stefan, "What happened to Desrosiers? Why is she acting like this?"
