Chapter 213

“Brother Stefan, Sister Renee, it’s been a long time since I watched a movie. Let’s go see one!” Jane

chirped energetically, and held their hands as they walked towards the cinema.

“Umm…” Renee stole a glance at Stefan. She figured that watching a movie would be a boring activity

for Stefan given his status and position surely he would refuse Jane’s request.

However, he said indifferently, “I haven’t watched a movie in a long time too. The new animation called

Soul Travel should be nice.”

“You know about Soul Travel?” Renee asked immediately, her eyes lighting up. “I’ve been wanting to

watch that movie! I heard it’s good, but not many wanted to watch it, so they don’t play it much. If we

don’t watch it now, it’ll soon be out of theatres.”

Stefan nodded. “True. It’s about saving one’s soul. My Grandma Coco, which is produced by the same

company, is pretty good too.”

“Yeah, I liked that one. I watched it when it was first released, and cried like a baby in the cinema…”

Before they realised it, they were chatting with each other like old friends. They found that they were

both film enthusiasts, and had watched almost the same movies as the other. Their comments and

understanding of the movies were oddly similar too. Both of them felt that they had finally found

someone else with the same taste, and they regretted not finding out sooner.

In the end, Renee chuckled and said, “Stefan, I always thought that you were just an emotionless

capitalist who only cares about money, but it turns out that you’ve got a soul too!”

Stefan raised his brows and scoffed, “Likewise. I always thought that you were just a dumb and gullible

pretty girl.”

The movie was about to start. They held their tickets and went to line up to enter the hall. The line was

long, and Stefan stood behind Renee in the line. They were both quite eager to watch the movie.

As they were lining up, Renee suddenly felt like something was amiss. “Stefan, do you feel like

something’s missing?”

He tilted his head slightly and inquired. “What’s missing?”

Renee’s eyes widened and she gasped, Jane! She’s gone!”

Stefan looked around, his eyebrows raised in surprise. They looked at each other anxiously, realising

how serious the situation

was.

“Jane! Jane!” Renee panicked and shouted Jane’s name. She was so nervous that her voice was

shaky.

Jane was Mr. and Mrs. Wood’s beloved daughter, and even Renee loved her like she was her own

child. Jane was missing due to their own carelessness. What if she had been kidnapped by a human

trafficker? It was too horrible to even contemplate, and Renee prayed it wasn’t the case.

“Jane, where are you? Come back now! Don’t scare me, Jane!” Renee scurried around the crowded

cinema, panicked and desperate. Her eyes soon became red and watery as she held back tears.

Seeing her like that made Stefan’s heart ache, and he rested his large palms on her shoulders

reassuringly. Stefan’s voice was calm and steady as he told her, “Don’t worry, she’s probably still in the

mall. I’ll ask people to block all the exits here. We’ll find her!”

Renee was at a loss for words. She nibbled her lip unsurely, her eyes full of tears as she looked up at

him. Even though she hated Stefan, she felt like as long as he was here, the issue would be solved.

Even if things got out of hand, he would definitely figure a way out.

They looked at each other intently, emotions whirling in their eyes.

Suddenly, they heard a chilling scream from nearby.

“Ah! He’s going to kill her! Run!”
