Chapter 401
Mandy leaned against the elevator wall and said dreamily while taking in the bustling and gorgeous
nighttime scenery.
Renee naturally did not believe in these legends that were meant to fool children. She said with a
smile, "So if I miss a founding father really, really badly, would I encounter an elevator filled with cash?"
"C'mon, Renee. You're not romantic at all. If you don't look forward to a sweet encounter, how would
you meet your true love?"
"Let me teach you a life lesson as an older woman, Mandy. To live a good life, true love wouldn't help
much. Money is way more important.
Something like true love will only become a weapon for others to hurt you with."
Renee told Mandy seriously. She did not look like she was joking at all.
Although these words sounded too cruel for an 18 year old girl who had just started to develop
romantic feelings, the earlier she understood this fact, the less she would get hurt.

for curing pain. Why would it cause pain?
You're just scared of love now because you were hurt by it once. You look brave and carefree, but
you're actually timid and cowardly because you dare not love again."
"Uhh..."
Renee was speechless.
'Do all the kids nowadays mature this early?' she thought.
The elevator finally reached the top floor.
The restaurant was decorated elegantly with fresh flowers everywhere. A person was playing the violin.
The atmosphere was beautiful and romantic.
"Ren, the top donor is waiting for you. This candlelight dinner is for the two of you, so I won't stay to be
the third wheel. I'm going home."
After saying that, Mandy took the elevator down and left the restaurant.
"Welcome, our only female guest for the evening. This way, please."
The waiter bowed 90 degrees and led Renee into the restaurant.
The man standing in front of the French window had a tall, straight figure. He was dressed in an
elegant black casual suit that had good cutting, complementing his excellent figure nicely. His regal
temperament gave him the air of a king that came out of a medieval castle.
Anyone would be captivated by his height and his aura. No wonder Mandy nearly fell for him.
Renee subconsciously quickened her pace. She walked over to stand behind the man and said, ’Hi."
The man slowly turned around. His perfect, handsome face could only be described as a masterpiece
of nature. There was currently a mischievous grin on it. "Long time no see, my goddess."
"Ugh!"
Renee almost fell down.
In those short few steps, she had made countless guesses about the man's identity - she had even
guessed that he might be Xavier - but she would never have guessed that it was him!

Haze chuckled and joked calmly.
For four years, he had tried every method possible to trace Renee's whereabouts, but his efforts were
in vain.
He kept decrypting the protection she set up, and she kept using more sophisticated techniques to set
up a new protection. It was like a game of cat and mouse. Every attack made his blood boil with
excitement.
So when he learned that Renee was back, he got really excited. He immediately got into a bidding war
with Stefan during the live stream and ultimately scammed Stefan of 4 million dollars while he himself
reaped the benefits.
"Haze, what have you been through the last few years? You look so different now."
Renee was still in shock.
That was because the Haze she remembered was an unruly and carefree person. He was always
wearing a black hat, a black T-shirt, and a pair of black pants.... But now, he was wearing a black suit
like a proper adult! No wonder she couldn't recognize him at first!
Haze moved closer and closer to Renee. His deep eyes were passionate and emotional. "We haven't
seen each other for four years, and that's the first thing you say to me?
