Justin was wearing a thin shirt, and shrugged half-heartedly.
"We came at the same time.”
"You're ridiculous. Weren't you bored sitting here for five to six hours?" Even so, Renee still moved aside a little to give him some
space.
Justin gladly sat down next to her and smiled. "Didn't you do the same thing though?"
"It's because there's something troubling me. Time passed by very quickly.”
"Well, we're the same. Watching you is like watching the most beautiful scenery in the world—hours passed in the blink of an
eye.”
"Stop that!” Renee playfully pushed him and sighed. After a while, she said slowly, "This afternoon... Umm, I'm sorry. I was so
anxious that I accused you for no reason. I wasn't targeting you; I would have scolded a dog too if it carne at that time."
Her explanation amused him. "It's fine. Anyone in yourposition would've done it.” He didn't want her to blame herself. Despite
everything, he still wanted to marry her and bring glory to his family. It was fine if she saw him as a villain or a schemer, as long
as he got what he wanted in the end.
"You know yourself well, don't you? Ah, you're just a cunning man and no one can see through you.” Renee tapped his forehead
and shook her head. "How nice it would be if we were just hackers... We could earn extra money and join some competitions.
We wouldn't have so many feuds and problems to settle either. It would be nice to lead such a simple life.”
"Yeah, it's more fun to type codes and compete against you.
" Justin watched the pond, reminiscing about the past. His family never meddled in his business and let him lead a carefree life,
but his grandfather was getting old, and his father was ill. As the only son, he had too many responsibilities to bear. He could no
longer lead his life the way he wanted.
"I wonder when we can return to a time when things were simple..." Renee clutched the ring in her hand as her eyes turned
watery. It felt like her heart was twisting in her chest.
Justin turned to her, and saw how sad she looked. It made him feel sorry for her. "If you're tired, let me help you. Tell me what
you want to do, and I'll help you do it. You can stay a hacker and lead a simple life. What do you think?”
"Do you want to help me do it?” Renee chuckled and turned to look into his eyes intently. "Do you dare to kill Stefan then?
"You... want to kill Stefan?" Justin was flabbergasted. ‘Aren't they secretly in love with each other? Why has she changed all of a
sudden?’
"Calm down. I won't ask you to kill people, let alone him.”
She felt a pang of guilt, ashamed that she was biased towards Stefan instead of Quinton.
"Did... you find something out?” Justin immediately sensed something was wrong, and asked, “Did you find out who hurt
Quinton?"
Renee was speechless.
