Stefan's gaze was frigid as he stared at Renee.

"There's no one here, so you can just be honest with me. What happened to them? They need to be released

immediately. I'm willing to give up everything forthem - even my life. Don't push me, Stefan, I'm warning you."

Renee clenched her fists tightly, her entire body tense. She had given birth to Addie and Abby and raised them with

all her love and attention. They weren't just her life, they were also the Everheart family's future.

Stefan might have tried to take them away, but she would definitely get them back.

"I'm not sure what you're saying." Stefan looked perplexed as he frowned at her. "Who are you referring to?"

"Stop acting dumb!" Renee burst out furiously. She was so enraged that she approached him, grabbed him by the

collar, and warned, "I'll count to three, and if you don't give them to me, I'll break your neck. You already know I'm

capable of it!"

"You want to break my neck?" The corners of his lips curved upwards into a lazy smile, and he whispered

challengingly, "Go ahead... Do it."

"Do you think I'm afraid?" Renee's eyes blazed with anger, and her lips twitched as she bit out, "Three, two, one..."

To her surprise, the lights in the room went out before she could do anything to him. It was now pitch black, and

even the lights in the surrounding mansions were out.

"What's happening?" She demanded, letting go of Stefan as she looked around.

'Have I walked into their trap? That has to be it! Stefan kidnapped Addie and Abby, lured me here, and is now trying

to kill me so he can get custody of the kids!' She thought in horror. Her skin prickled just thinking about it.

'The Hunt family might be cruel, but you underestimate my abilities." Renee growled, then reached out to wrap her

slender fingers around Stefan's neck again. "Don't try anything. If anything happens to me, you'll die with me."

"You're overthinking. We're not that bored, and even if we wanted to hurt you, we wouldn't get our hands dirty

doing it," Stefan scoffed.xo.com fast update

'After so many years, she's still an overthinker. How could she think that we would use such an amateur way to hurt

her?' He thought.

"Then what is going on? Why did all the lights go off?" Renee asked him impatiently.

"Obviously, the power is out," Stefan said irritatedly.

At that moment, they heard a servant's voice from outside the room. "I apologize, Mr. Hunt and Miss Renee.

Something went wrong with the mansion's circuit, and the electricity has gone off completely. Can you wait for a

while? We'll get someone to repair it right away."

'Wait?" Renee swallowed nervously, suddenly realizing she was a bit too close to Stefan.

'Are they actually expecting us to stay together in the dark?' She thought anxiously.
