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
Elijah's voice was loud and panicked. Stefan frowned and immediately ended the call.'What is that woman up to this time?' He thought wearily."What's the matter, Stefan? Did something happen to your wife?" Jeremy asked. He had stood up and was getting ready to leave, but after hearing Elijah's voice over the phone, he sat down once more.Naturally, the tea house had a television, which he asked a waiter to switch on.Renee appeared on the television screen. She was wearing plain clothes and had no makeup on, but she was surrounded by over a hundred media companies as she made an announcement sadly."I'm sorry for using up public resources, but today, I want to announce that the four years of marriage between Mr. Hunt and I have officially come to an end. We've chosen to go our separate ways in a peaceful manner. I'm thankful for having known him for the past four years, and I hope he can find his true happiness."Reporters below the stage frantically raised their hands and fough
Stefan sighed helplessly and drove back to Hunt Manor. He knew Timothy would be against his decision of working with Sunder Corporation, but he didn't expect the old man to find out about it so quickly. He figured that he'd receive harsh punishment for what he did a lot later.Oh, well. He could use this opportunity to find out what exactly the Sunder family did.Before Stefan could even walk in, he could already hear Timothy yelling."That kid has gone astray… He's willing to do anything for money! I'll beat the crap out of him today, so don't you get in my way!"The wounds on Stefan's back had yet to fully recover, and he felt a tightness in his chest as he walked forward. It couldn't be helped, though. Timothy had grown up in the military, so his way of disciplining the younger generations had always been harsh. That was why all his children had upright personalities, and even Stefan himself rarely went against his word.Stefan only lost control when Renee was involved…"Grand
Timothy remained silent for a long time after watching Renee's press conference. He seemed to be deep in thought.'Now, Grandpa will finally understand that it takes two to tango,' Stefan thought in relief.Truthfully, he didn't love Renee, and he certainly had done things to hurt her. In his defense though, Renee didn't love him either. While he and Briar pretended to be close, Renee and Liam had genuine feelings for each other. They were even prepared to have children.That's why both of them had agreed to the divorce. How could she make him the sole scapegoat?"Grandpa, as you've just seen, this woman wanted nothing more than to divorce me. That way, she can officially be with Liam. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so eager to make a public announcement that we're divorced. She's not as innocent as you think she is. Everyone's just fooled by her appearance!" Stefan couldn't hide the anger in his voice.Timothy looked away from the television and turned to face Stefan with a frown. "I
A feast had been laid out for dinner, with various types of poultry and seafood served.Stefan frowned slightly when he sat down. Timothy normally had light meals, so why were there so many dishes prepared?This was no simple dinner... The old man was definitely up to something.Stefan didn't ask any questions. He just picked up his cutlery and prepared to eat.Timothy, who was sitting at the head of the table, cleared his throat. "We're still waiting for someone. What's the rush?"Just as Stefan thought! He raised his brows slightly before silently putting down his cutlery. He figured that Timothy probably invited Renee too. Clearly, he was trying to set them up.His tone was icy as he growled, "Grandpa, I know what you're thinking, but these things can't be forced. Renee and I are over, so stop wasting your time.""Hah! Dream on." Timothy leisurely stroked his beard and smiled mysteriously. "I wouldn't force Ren to get with a scumbag like you. That'd only make her suffer!"St
