Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 923

It was rare to see Jovan being friendly with other people.

“Ah, this is…” Scarlet and Sam looked at Renee, then turned back to Jovan with knowing smiles. “Oh Van, you’ve

finally settled down. We’re so happy for you!”

“You sure are pretty, girl! No wonder you captured his heart! You’re the only one Van has ever brought here!”

“Our hotpot restaurant is Van’s secret hideout, and he always says that some good hotpot is all you need to solve

any problems in life! We hope you’ll be happier after having some of ours today!”

Jovan had always behaved like a madman with absolutely no boundaries, but today, he was as bashful as a young

teen in love as he brushed Scarlet and Sam off. “You guys, stop being so nosy! You should get back to work!”

Jovan and Renee headed over to a table next to a window and sat down. The woman was still quite depressed, and

she rested her head in her hands, her eyes gloomy.

“Alright, chairman, don’t be so sad. You fought and won beautifully, so let’s have a drink.” Jovan opened up two

beer bottles and poured them into two large glasses, then clinked the woman’s glass.

“I’m not sad, I’m just confused…” Renee took a sip with a dejected look, frowning. “I just don’t understand why

Stefan changed so suddenly. How can he be willing to choose Murphy and put H Group at risk?”

Jovan’s expression turned cold. “What is there to understand? I told you, it’s true love.”

“If it really is true love, shouldn’t they have been dating long ago? They didn’t have to wait till now. I think Stefan

and Murphy must have made some kind of deal, and they’re hiding it from me.”

“So what if that’s the case?” Jovan chuckled frostily. “No matter what the reason is, he still chose to hurt you. That’s

unforgivable in itself.”

“What if he was just trying to protect me?” Renee hit the nail on the head, and Jovan stayed silent.

“See? I’m right! He only hurt me because he wants to protect me!” Renee chirped, her gloominess replaced with

joy.

She then tried to get more information out of Jovan. “You must know something, right? Can’t you tell me?”

“I don’t know anything, so stop asking.” Jovan scowled, focusing on his meal instead.

Scarlet then brought them another plate of fresh, thinly sliced meat. Cooking the meat in the hot broth, then

dipping it into some sauce made it an absolute delicacy.

The man was quite frustrated, but… ‘Some good hotpot is all you need to solve any problems in life! If I’m still

unhappy after this plate of meat, I’ll just order some more!’

“Jovan, don’t just eat! You must know something, so please tell me!” Renee grabbed the man’s wrist, pleading.

Jovan stared at Renee’s hand, not saying anything for a few minutes. After that, he said cryptically, “That’s right, I

do know all about it.”

After all, he didn’t just know the entire story, he was the one behind all of it.

“Really? Tell me! Tell me now!” Renee exclaimed excitedly.

“I can tell you, but you’ll have to promise me something first…” Jovan started grinning as if he were the devil

himself.
