Chapter 496

Renee grimaced and hurriedly let Julian go. Then, she got up and made herself look presentable. She said coldly, “Are you saying you made that glass of Blue Flame earlier?”

Julian looked nonchalant as he remained seated on the beach sand. Julian propped his arms and looked up and Renee. Then, he asked in reply,” What? Did you think Stefan made it for you?”

Renee rolled her eyes coldly before shifting her gaze to the deep dark sea. She pursed her lips and said nothing.

Julian explained, ‘Stefan made this drink for me before. I pestered him for a long time before he gave me the recipe. He said it was your creation. I found the drink interesting. The heat of vodka and the coolness of the mind are the most incompatible things. However, they created such a magical chemical reaction together… Well, it’s just like you and Stefan.”

Renee snorted disdainfully. “You’re overthinking. I didn’t think much and concocted it on a whim. I didn’t remember the recipe until you reminded me of it.”

“Why are you still acting tough? If you really forgot the recipe, why did you chase after me so frantically just now?”

“So, were just tricked me?”

Renee glared at Julian and questioned him in annoyance, “You teased me like I’m a fool. Do you think it’s cool? I should’ve known. All men in the Hunt family are abnormal. Stefan is cold. Jovan is crazy, and you’re childish!”

Thinking back, the image of her frantically chasing over Julian and shouting at him was just too embarrassing.

Renee was not only angry with Julian. Instead, she was mad at herself for losing her mind over the man’s side profile, which resembled Stefan’s. How could she?

Julian did not defend himself. He patted the seat next to him and invited Renee. “We haven’t seen each other for four years. A lot has happened since we parted. I’d like to talk to you.”

Renee refused ungraciously, “I’ve got nothing to say to you. It’s late. I’m going home.”

Renee did not have much to talk about with Julian. As far as she was concerned, Julian and Stefan were on the same team. Renee did not want to get involved with anyone in the Hunt family!

“What if it’s about Stefan?” Julian watched as Renee turned away coldly and indifferently. Then, he said meaningfully, “Aren’t you curious about how is he now?”

Renee’s fingers stiffened. At last, she turned over, followed Julian, and sat on the beach.

“Go ahead. Let me hear what you can say!”

Renee felt extra awake as the cool sea breeze and humid moisture enveloped her. She never believed that Stefan was dead and needed a firm answer from Julian.

Julian stared at the undulating sea with melancholy in his eyes. He said with a faint smile, “I’m not sure if Stefan is still alive. If I said that, would you hit me?”

Renee clenched her fist and said through her gritted teeth, “Yes!”

“Don’t hit me first. I’ll tell you what I know, and I hope it’ll help you…”

Julian began telling his story. “H Group has been growing at accelerated growth. The company seems to be developing quickly in the past four years, but there are many problems and vicious competition.

Many want to snatch the power. If Stefan had really gotten into something bad, it wouldn’t be an accident. It’s planned, just like Tristan’s death years ago!”

Renee was shocked. “So you’re saying… Stefan and Tristan were both murdered?” “Yes.” Julian nodded. “If I’m right, it’s likely that the same forces are plotting against them, and l-l need your help!
