Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 969

“I couldn’t believe it either! I didn’t think Miss Everheart would be so cruel to Stefan, the man she truly loved. Her

love may have turned sour, but she shouldn’t have been so cruel. Unfortunately, it was indeed Miss Everheart’s

doing. Love can be so beautiful, yet so scary sometimes!” Seraphina sobbed, deliberately slandering Renee.

Renee’s brother was the one who harmed them anyway, which was the same as Renee hurting them.

“Stefan was reluctant to tell you for old time’s sake. Miss Everheart was the one who did it, but he did not want you

to act impulsively and try to avenge him.” Seraphina watched Francine’s expression and continued to add fuel to

the fire. “Also, when I went to save Stefan, Miss Everheart retaliated and hurt me. I…”

Seraphina hesitated, then burst into tears.

“Good girl, calm down. How did she hurt you? Tell me…”

“S-She ordered a bunch of men to violate me. I almost died!” As Seraphina spoke, she lifted the hem of her

nightgown, revealing the shocking bruises on her legs.

“Oh, that’s terrible!” Francine shivered when she saw the marks on Seraphina’s thighs. It was obviously the result of

multiple assaults.

“Miss Francine, you may not believe that Miss Everheart made Stefan go blind, but this was all her doing. I didn’t

think she would hate me this much… I don’t want to live anymore! I don’t deserve Stefan!”

“Good girl, please don’t say that. You may have lost your body’s purity, but a certain someone is far more

despicable for losing her pure heart!” Francine put her arm around Seraphina. “You and Stefan have suffered. I

won’t let you two suffer in vain. Renee…” She said with a cold look in her eyes, “I won’t forgive her!”

Francine was a little sceptical of Seraphina’s words at first as she trusted Renee’s character. However, Francine had

no choice but to believe the story after seeing the marks on Seraphina’s body.

“P-please, Miss Francine. Don’t take revenge on Miss Everheart. If Stefan finds out, he’ll be angry!” Seraphina

begged.

“Even if he’s angry or tries to sever ties with me, I must take revenge for him!” Francine clenched her fists and said

coldly, “My son is too emotional. I thought Renee was a good and kind girl and wanted to get them back together…

It seems I didn’t know her true colours. How could she do such a cruel thing?!”

Meanwhile, at Sun Island.

Renee was dressed in a floral dress and had on a huge sun hat that covered her small and delicate face. She was

lying in the hammock, feeling bored. The bright sun shone on her face as Renee swayed the hammock back and

forth. She looked like she had been having a good time.

Renee had been back on Sun Island for the past few days, but felt like a visitor in her own home. It was quite

irritating to see how Adie and Abby had already formed a new family with Xavier and Leia. They even went fishing

early in the morning without inviting her!

Renee was bored out of her mind. Suddenly, her brother Quinton video called her.

“Sis, as you requested, I have sent the guy back to Hunt Villa safe and sound. When are you coming back?”

“We’ll see. I’m fine here,” Renee answered lazily. She was relieved to know that Stefan was safe and sound, but she

wasn’t brave enough to go back to Beach City. She feared getting entangled with Stefan again.

After all, she had sworn to God – if he lived, she would never go back to him. What if she broke the promise and put

him in danger again? She would rather wait for him to recover first.

“I knew you’d stall again…” Quinton shook his head affectionately. He couldn’t say no to his sister. Finally, he asked

teasingly, “I have something nice here. Do you want to see it?”
