Chapter 1514
Stefan frowned and asked, “Why? I thought Ren’s parents loved each other a lot, and that I should learn from them.”
A chuckle escaped Margaret, and she said meaningfully,” Naturally, outsiders like us wouldn’t know what happened behind the scenes. Besides, every couple has a different way of getting along-you need to find the one that suits you and Ms. Ren best.”
“Can you tell me about Ren’s father then? That year—”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Hunt. I’m old, and my memory is failing me, so I can’t tell you much. It’s getting late, and I’m going to bed. You should rest early too, Mr. Hunt,” Margaret interrupted Stefan quickly, and headed for the door. Before she left, she turned to Stefan and said quietly, “If you find anything, I suggest you stop looking into it. Sometimes, it’s better to not open Pandora’s box, no matter how tempting it is.
Everything is going well now, so why don’t we keep it this way?”
After Margaret had left, Stefan sat there, deep in thought. Maybe Margaret was right, and there was no need to bring up a past long buried. He didn’t want to ruin this peaceful life he was living. After contemplating it, he called Elijah.” Stop the investigation for the time being, and wait for my instructions.”
Jovan’s manor was dark and gloomy as usual, giving off an oppressive feeling. Jovan sighed, then asked sternly, “Did you give up your eyes to me?” At that moment, he was sitting in front of his desk and reading the information in his hand, comparing it to the girl standing in front of him. He knitted his brow in confusion.
“Yes, sir.”
The woman was wearing a pair of sunglasses and was blind, and even her voice sounded like what Jovan had heard that day, but for some reason, Jovan felt like she wasn’t the one he had spoken to.
“Do you know the consequences of lying to me?” Jovan growled, then stood up and walked up to her. During the six months that he was blind, his perception had grown strong. Nowadays, he evaluated things with both his eyes and heart, and his heart told him that something was off with this woman.
“Mr. Hunt, please… please don’t frighten me. I’m not lying to you, and you said that the consequences would be very serious if I did. I wouldn’t dare do such a thing,” the woman replied, trembling.
“Yes, it seems you know what’s at stake here, so I’m going to give you two choices. First, I’ll pay you three times the money the others paid you to lie, and you tell me the truth. Or, you can take the second option and keep lying, and suffer the consequences once I find out the truth.”
Immediately, the woman dropped to her knees, sobbing.” Mr. Hunt, please spare my life… I… I’ll tell you everything!”
“Good! At least you’re smart.” Jovan took his seat at the desk again and crossed his legs, waiting for the woman’s reply.
At that moment, a subordinate approached Jovan. “Mr.
Hunt, Ms. Seraphina is here to see you.”
“What bad timing…” Jovan sighed in frustration, wanting to send Seraphina off, but then decided against it. “Let her in.” After that, he said to the woman kneeling on the floor,” Leave. I’ll interrogate you later.”
Once everyone had left, Seraphina walked into Jovan’s study.
