Chapter 1239

Renee was curious when she heard someone walking up the stairs. When she saw the newcomer's face, she gaped

slightly in surprise. "Haze, what... are you doing here?"

She hadn’t seen him ever since they had said goodbye back then. Now, she was tongue-tied and didn't know what

to say.

"It's been a long time, Phoenix." Haze smiled at her, dressed casually as usual. With both hands in his pockets, he

looked like the very picture of nonchalance. "I've been thinking about you and watching you from afar."

Renee got goosebumps hearing that, and stuck her tongue out at him. "That sounds creepy, you know? People

might think you're a stalker who's been having a crush on me for years."

Quinton glared at Renee and scolded, "Renee, don't be rude. Mr. Baldwin is our important comrade. His family is

very powerful and influential, and they're the only family that can fight against the Hunt family. If we want to defeat

the Hunt family, we need the Baldwin family's support. Also, he's the reason I got this place. If not, our home

would've turned into a sewage treatment plant. You should be thanking him."

Renee rolled her eyes. "Quinton, you're too naive. They wanted to set up a sewage treatment plant here because of

him. He just used some petty tricks to make us owe him a favor. What's so great about that?"

In her eyes, Haze was just a rookie she defeated four years in a row during the Global Hacker Championship

regardless of his powerful background. Of course, she could diss him any way she wanted.

However, Haze was not at all angry. He pursed his lips and said, "Quinton, I'm sure you don't know this, but Pheonix

and I are actually good friends. She not only shares my trade, but she's also my fiancee. My family hopes that I can

marry her and take her home soon so I can bring glory to my family!"

"Pfft!" Renee knew he would brag, but couldn't control her laughter when she heard his dramatic statement. "Dude,

just stop. My brother will believe you."

"I'm not lying, am I?" Haze approached Renee and said pitifully, 'TH be honest with you-my main reason for coming

to Beach City was to make you fall in love with me and marry me willingly. But what did you do? You ignored me

and let me fend for myself in this strange city."

Renee smacked her forehead and groaned, then said, "If you don't stop, I'm going to beat you up."

"Okay." Haze immediately shut his mouth. He was fully aware of Renee's martial arts skills, especially since he had

experienced her violence every time they met.

He really didn't want that to happen now, or he would embarrass his family greatly.

Quinton was very pleased when he saw their interaction. He nodded and said, "I didn't expect you two to be so

close. Well, our cooperation will surely become smoother because

of this. I'm sure we'll claim the top spot in Beach City when both of our families form an alliance!"
