Chapter 419
Looking around, Renee finally found her phone nearby, only to realize that it was broken. She couldn’t turn it on at all.
“Agh, that useless Stefan Hunt! I knew he was bad luck!” Renee cursed as she scanned her surroundings. It was pitch black,
with no one remotely near.
Renee immediately felt scared. “Is there anyone out there?! Somebody, please help!” She screamed, her voice echoing
alongside the caws of crows.
The pain in her head and leg was overwhelming, and she was finding it difficult to even scream for help at this point.
“I won’t die here, right?! That’d be too unfair...”
In the old Hunt manor, the family had gathered around the dining table to have a nice dinner together, but the atmosphere felt
rather odd for some reason.
Francine was trying to ask Stefan over and over again if he had contacted Renee. She had just found out that Renee, who’d
disappeared for four whole years, had returned to Beach City all of a sudden.
The woman felt conflicted when it came to Renee. She couldn’t help but hate Renee’s guts for murdering Briar’s child, and had
even hired some people to find the woman so that she could pay for her crimes. However, in those four years of her absence,
she watched as her poor son lived in misery... It had been a very long time since he smiled.
She knew that Stefan still loved Renee very much, and that Renee was the only person who could return Stefan’s smile. Hence,
as time passed, her resentment faded, as she only wished for her son to follow his heart and find true happiness.
“Stef, there’s no pressure, alright? As your family, we will support all of your decisions no matter what. We should let bygones be
bygones... The most important thing now is to live life to the fullest!” Francine said enthusiastically.
“I have my plans.” Stefan continued eating, clearly hoping for this conversation to end.
Everyone noticed how annoyed he was, and decided to keep their mouths shut, focusing on their meals as well.
Suddenly, Francine remembered something and said, “Stef, have you been visiting that cemetery a lot recently? I already told
you how off-putting that place is – you should go less often. A few days ago, I saw on the news that a few influencers went
adventuring there, and all of them died because they fell off a cliff! You-“
“Fell off a cliff?” Stefan’s expression shifted instantly.
“Yes. The area is very confusing, and it’s always surrounded by fog! It’d be dangerous if you ever got lost in there. Ugh, this is all
because of that shaman... Why did he have to choose that secluded cemetery of all places? ■
Timothy chimed in as well. “It was an untimely death, so he had to choose a secluded place to bury it. Stef just needs to go there
less often.”
“Stef doesn’t even want to go, it’s all because of Desrosiers...”
Just as the conversation was getting heated, Stefan stood up abruptly and said, “I need to head out for a bit.
