"No. What's his name?" Renee asked, slightly dazed.Although she was speaking to Dino, she couldn't take her eyes off the handsome, aloof man next to him.Throughout the years, she had only experienced this feeling with one other person."Julian's very handsome, isn't he? From a certain angle, he looks a lot like Stefan Hunt, Hunt Enterprise's president. That's why his fans call him Little Stefan Hunt…""Stefan Hunt?" Renee instantly came to her senses when she heard that, and quickly averted her gaze, gritting her teeth.Why did everyone have to bring up that man wherever she went? He was haunting her like a ghost!Dino thought Renee didn't know who Stefan was, so he started explaining earnestly, "Do you know what Stefan looks like? If you don't, I have a picture of him… See? Don't you think he looks a lot like Julian?"Renee wasn't in the mood to look at the picture. The only thing on her mind was how bad her luck was!She'd finally met someone she felt attracted to after get
"Umm…" Renee couldn't get any words out, no matter how hard she tried.The man was a little too close for comfort. His handsome face, which reminded her of Stefan, seemed even more attractive up close. Renee's heart was beating fast, and she began to feel nervous.His eyes looked identical to Stefan's… It was almost as if he could see right through her.The only difference she could see was that Stefan's eyes held a steely dominance, whereas Julian's weary gaze suggested he had been through a lot in life.Renee sighed softly. Humans were indeed creatures of habit.Four years ago, it was love at first sight when she met Stefan. Four years later, she felt her heart skipped a beat for another man who looked just like Stefan.At this point, she couldn't even tell if she was attracted to this handsome man or Stefan."What are you thinking?" The man murmured. He moved even closer to Renee, and she felt his warm breath on her skin. His deep voice was intoxicating and smooth, like wine
Renee hailed a taxi, and she and Julian got in together. Renee then told the driver where they wanted to go, and within twenty minutes, they'd arrived at their destination."We're here. Let's go!" Renee led the man out of the car by his tie.Before them stood dome-shaped houses with bright exteriors. They glowed dimly under the pale moonlight, making them look like little stars. The atmosphere was rather romantic."It's a big place, and it's pretty. What do you think?" Renee turned around and looked at Julian proudly. "This is my secret base, and it's where I come when I feel stressed. Not many know about this place.""Secret base?" Julian looked at the houses and raised his brows in silent appreciation. "Interesting."An attendant greeted them warmly when they entered. "Ms. Everheart, will you be using Room No.3 as usual? We've already prepared everything you need.""Thank you." Renee smiled at the attendant. It looked as if she was a frequent customer here.Room No. 3 was the
Stefan heard a mechanical voice in his ear: "Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service."‘Not in service?!’Stefan tried to control his rage. Maybe Renee had changed her phone number, and she wasn't trying to avoid him.He clicked on Renee's contact, opened up the messaging application, and sent her a question mark. The message didn't go through. Clearly, he had been blocked."Damn it!" Stefan cursed under his breath, his expression dark.That woman had cut him off completely. She really was merciless!They'd only been divorced for a week, but she'd already pried away Hunt Enterprise's major clients, and was now spending her evenings in nightclubs with different men. Her life seemed to be full of fun and excitement, didn't it?Her ex-husband's reputation was practically ruined!Stefan massaged his temples and gritted his teeth in frustration. After pondering for a moment, he dialed Elijah's number."I want information on all guests who checked into hotels in Beach Ci
Renee instantly stopped humming, and her smile died on her lips. She instinctively turned around to leave, as if she'd encountered something unfortunate.'Damn it.' She could only blame herself for procrastinating. Although she'd already decided to move, she hadn't found a suitable place to move into yet. She lived right across Stefan, so even if she intentionally avoided him outdoors, she would have to bump into him eventually when she came home.Renee didn't step out of the lift, and the elevator doors automatically started to close.Stefan reached out to stop the doors from closing, his expression unreadable. "What's the matter? Weren't you having a lot of fun earlier? What's the point in feeling guilty now?"'Guilty?!' Renee stepped out of the elevator with her chin raised defiantly. "You're hilarious, Mr. Hunt. So what if I was having a lot of fun? I didn't rob or kill anyone, did I? Why should I feel guilty? You, on the other hand, are the president of a large corporation. It
Stefan opened his eyes, and impatience flashed in them. "Woman, you can play hard to get, but don't push me. A little bit keeps things fun, but don't go overboard."After saying that, he started moving closer to Renee.He believed Renee was playing hard to get and trying to make him jealous. After all, she loved him so much in the past, so how could she have moved on so easily?Renee was completely speechless. She took her phone out and started taking pictures of Stefan's face. "Stefan, I think you need therapy. Is this your idea of revenge because I was in the news? I suggest you leave, or I'll take you to court tomorrow!"Stefan stopped moving and squinted at the phone in her hand. "What are you doing?"Renee didn't answer him. After taking the pictures, she immediately called the police. She pretended to cry while she spoke, "Officer, please help me! I'm at Sunup Residence. A stalker followed me home, and he's trying to harass me. I can't get him to leave. Please hurry!"Stefa
Stefan didn't take Renee's warning seriously. He figured that the most she could do was make him jealous by being with other men.The next day, Stefan arrived at Golden Tea House according to plan. He had a business meeting with Jeremy Sunder, the chairman of Sunder Corporation.Sunder Corporation was one of the four major distributors of electronic products in the country. South Group, which used to have a close business relationship with Hunt Enterprise, was on the same level as Sunder Corporation. However, now that South Group had been pried away by Renee, Stefan had to quickly find a new partner so that Hunt Enterprise's electronic products wouldn't experience a drop in sales.Jeremy had been waiting for a long time in the VIP room of the tea house. As soon as he saw Stefan, he stood up and shook Stefan's hand with a smile on his face. "Stefan, it's been a long time. Do you finally have time to sit down for a cup of tea with your uncle?""I'd be delighted, Jeremy." Stefan had a
When Jeremy heard this, he narrowed his eyes a little before smiling. "Stefan, it has to be a misunderstanding. Your grandfather is a great wartime hero, and I admire him. Why would there be any bad blood between us?""Is that so?" Stefan asked slowly. He took a sip of his tea, wondering whether Jeremy was telling the truth. In reality, he had already carried out a thorough investigation on Sunder Corporation before deciding to work with them, and the results hadn't given him any reason to think that there was any bad blood between the Sunder family and the Hunt family.However, Stefan also hadn't had the best relationship with his grandfather. The latter had refused to see him for a long time, so Stefan couldn't ask him about this in person."Of course, it's true," Jeremy said firmly. However, he seemed a little guilty. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to be frank. "Back then, I used to be a young and energetic man, so I might have had a bit of conflict with your deceased
