Chapter 2466

"Oh, I see…" Renee looked a little disappointed, but was soon calm. She even laughed at herself secretly. She could not understand why she still held expectations for Stefan. She found herself quite shameless. Honestly, his current attitude was what he should have. He no longer regarded her as his beloved but merely the mother of his children. Hence, all of his concerns toward her sounded reasonable. "So, you don't have to feel stressed. Tell me if you run into any trouble. I'll be glad to help if I can. If you're happy, the kids will be happy, too. When the kids are happy, I'll be happy, too," Stefan said indifferently, stuffing his hands in his pockets. His words showed what a scumbag he was, but they were reasonable. "If you're that curious, I'll tell you. If not, I'll be out of my mind if I must endure it alone." Renee grew angrier while listening to Stefan's indifferent and distant words, but she had no right to vent her anger. Hence, she decided to let it go and confide in him. It was fine whether he helped her or not. She could complain to him and release her stress. "I'm all ears." Stefan could tell that she merely needed a listener. He purposely approached her and sounded calm. "Well, I went to Beach High School with Joanne today…" Renee looked around and confirmed that Quinton would not suddenly appear. Then, she heaved a sigh and told Stefan everything. Stefan chuckled after listening to her story. "I thought it was something serious. It turns out that she just went missing." "Isn't it serious?" Renee punched him. "Stop laughing! Aren't you anxious for me? Oh, I know—you're just here for the gossip! You want to laugh at me. If I knew, I wouldn't have told you." "Calm down." Stefan hurriedly explained, "An adult wouldn't go missing that easily. Plus, Joanne isn't someone ordinary. She could even survive and run away from Benjamin. Beach City is governed by law. Do you think something will happen to her?" "We can't be sure of that. Although Beach City is more peaceful than Pinebell, there are still crazy people. If they do anything to Joanne, then…" Renee faltered. "Stop making wild guesses. Well… She should still be at school since she went missing there. Let's go there and look for her. I think we can find some clues," Stefan analyzed calmly. "I think so, too." Renee nodded, agreeing with his analysis. Based on her understanding of Joanne, Joanne would not leave alone if she did not get to see Renee after the self-study. She would have called Renee or texted Renee. But Joanne had gone missing and was unreachable. She must have had an accident at school, so Renee needed to go there to find first-hand clues. "What's your plan?" "If you don't mind, I can get some men to search the school thoroughly," Stefan said seriously. "Not at the moment!" Renee immediately refused.
