"Have you considered a partnership between Azure Group and Hunt Enterprise?" Stefan asked slowly. "We've been competing for years, but there was never a clear winner while losses continued to mount. Maybe we could reach new heights if we worked together.""A partnership?" Renee was surprised—the man took her for quite a ride, only to start discussing business?It didn't make sense. Azure Group was small fry to Hunt Enterprise at best, and they were at completely different levels. Even if Azure Group did see rapid growth and aggressively cut a territory of its own in the stock market, they were far from the level needed to necessitate a partnership with Hunt Enterprise.So why would Stefan suddenly come up with something like that? Was he extending an olive branch?"Take your time to consider. If possible, we can discuss the details with Quinton next Wednesday." With those words, Stefan unlocked the car doors and said coolly, "And if there's nothing else, you can get out of my car."
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1159
In reality, Renee was hoping to get Stefan to make peace with Quinton—even if Stefan did not extend an olive branch.Their families had been allies for three generations, and their grandfathers were practically brothers who supported each other for years—they certainly would not want them to turn against each other. Quinton was too impulsive and radical—he would inevitably upset many, and they would certainly come seeking revenge. However, if Quinton allied himself with the Hunt family, those enemies would have to be wary of both families, which spared them a lot of unnecessary conflict.To put it roughly… Renee was helping her brother get a sugar daddy. If the day came when she was not around or something bad happened, at least he would not be alone and helpless."Consider it, Quinton. If there are no issues, we can talk to him about the finer details next Wednesday," Renee said earnestly, hoping that Quinton would say yes.Quinton, however, snorted coolly, the look behind his

Quinton returned to his bedroom with Chase following closely behind, at his beck and call as always."Welcome back, sir. None of us had been sleeping soundly ever since we lost contact with you—we almost brought the cavalry down on the heads of the Hunt family!" "You've lost contact with me plenty of times before. Why so serious?" Quinton asked, impassive even as he took off his mask and suit.Chase quickly went to take both, and hung them up primly. "Yes, we did, but this is Stefan Hunt we're talking about. You two have history, so what if he decided to pull the trigger?'Quinton raised a brow, but said confidently, "You don't have to worry about that. He won't go for the kill like me, or it's over between him and my sister."Having fought Stefan for years, he dared say he knew Stefan better than Renee. From a certain perspective, they were like eternal rivals—if either of them won, their dynasty won as well.And Quinton was convinced that if every Everheart could see him now,

"Who's there?" Chase immediately started struggling in his attacker's grip, and elbowed the person hard."Calm down, it's just me." Renee awkwardly removed her hand from the man's eyes and rubbed her aching stomach. "I was just messing with you! I didn't expect that you'd be so skilled at martial arts—that elbow of yours nearly killed me!" "Oh, it's you, Ms. Everheart! I'm so sorry. Please punish me as you see fit." Chase lowered his head guiltily, about to kneel. He was wearing a white suit, which made him look gentle and elegant."Please don't. You don't have to be so careful in front of me, I'm not like my brother." Renee glanced at Quinton's bedroom, then quietly asked, "Is my brother asleep?""Yes, Ms. Everheart.""Let's go and grab a bite then." "Ms. Everheart, we can't. You're my superior, so how—""Chase, I told you before that I'm not my brother. Let's go." Renee dragged him to a street nearby that was full of hawker stalls. "Sir, we'd like to order burgers, chips,

"No, I was just a lackey. It was all because of my boss' great wisdom that Carmine Pawnshop became successful. You don't know how hard he worked back then. He was even dragged a few dozen metres from a car just to get an item his enemy had! He truly risked his life to establish Carmine Pawnshop bit by bit." "I know he's always been a hard worker. I feel like a worthless piece of trash who muddles through life compared to him…" Renee admitted."You can't say that, Ms. Everheart. You come from a totally different background. You're a rich, young lady that enjoyed luxury and led a worry-free life… but my boss was different. He couldn't even afford to eat when he was younger, and his foster parents used to abuse him. Only his sister was a bit nice to him, but at last, she also..." Chase stopped, realising he had said too much, then quickly continued, "In short, you can't blame him for being extreme. He's had to suffer his whole life just to survive." "I know that he's suffered, we're
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1163
Chase was silent for a while, then finally heaved a long sigh. "Forget it. Ms. Everheart, I can tell you if you really want to know. I believe that you're the only one in this world who truly cares about him and wants him to be happy. I won't regret it as long as he can resolve that hatred of his. Even if he wants to punish me for it, I'm willing to take the risk..." The man abruptly gulped down his beer, then started to talk about their past."You know that he was abandoned when he was young, right? After that, he got adopted by a poor couple in that small fishing village. The couple already had a son and a daughter, so they were very reluctant to adopt my boss. Because of that, they used to hit and scold him all the time, and they also didn't give him food and made him do heavy labour every day." Chase had also grown up poor in that small fishing village, but because he was the only son in his family, he had lived a worry-free life."When we were young, the boss was very handsome,
The Untouchable Ex-Wife Chapter 1164
"Yes, Ms. Garcia was wonderful. She was like a pure flower—simple and naive without any malice in her. She was my boss' motivation to survive. Eventually, he gained enough power to leave the small fishing village, but he suppressed his talent and capabilities just so he could be with her. He stayed in that tiny village and became a humble fisherman...""What happened afterwards? Where did she go? Why didn't my brother mention her?" Renee had so many questions."After that..." Chase frowned and murmured, "That wicked brother of hers bullied her, so my boss beat him up and ran away with Ms. Garcia. I was a rebel too back then, so I went with them. We were just broke kids at the time, so we decided to go to the chaotic Water Dock to survive. We then risked our lives to establish Carmine Pawnshop.""Quinton really is amazing... All of you were." Renee could not imagine how three penniless youths established Carmine Pawnshop in that land of chaos. It was the border of three countries, an

"Hmph! Of course." Chase snorted in disdain. "He's just a sanctimonious and disloyal man who'll do anything to get what he wants. He was so shameless that he even tricked and fooled a pure, naive girl! Even if he behaves differently and does a lot of charity now, he can’t hide the fact that he's rotten to the core." Chase's opinion of Stefan was similar to his opinion of Joanne—though he hated the man, he couldn't deny that he respected him very much too. After all, he had been Stefan's subordinate for four years at some point. During that time, the despicable man seemed... not as despicable as Chase had thought. It was very conflicting."The light that saved him turned out to be a knife that stabbed him... Joanne's betrayal was a fatal blow to Quinton. No wonder he hates Stefan so much!" After listening to Chase's explanation, Renee finally understood Quinton's character.A betrayal by the person you loved the most was the worst—it could turn even the most innocent person into a m

Renee said seriously, "I would like a plate of pasta with more vegetables and is not spicy. I'm afraid this is my last meal."Jovan was rendered speechless. Although Renee was being sarcastic, he still went to the kitchen to make her a delicious plate of pasta. He added some vegetables and a nice fried egg for a balanced diet. "It's done." Jovan had sent off all the servants of the mansion, leaving Renee with him. Hence, he was the one who cooked the pasta and served it to her. "Wow, you're fast." Renee wanted to get a chance to run away since she had sent him away to cook for her, but she couldn't come up with any trick.In the end, she got hungry when she saw the pasta. It was mouth-watering. She was starving!Jovan was good at cooking pasta, even though he didn't seem reliable. The pasta he made tasted like home-cooked food."Give it a try." Jovan didn't say much. He meticulously blew on the pasta and handed her a fork and spoon. Renee accepted it, eager to start eatin

Jovan watched Renee fall into a deep thought. His gaze deepened, filled with renewed ferocity.Jovan turned his wrist and said slowly, "Okay, stop overthinking. I can tell you the truth if you want to know it." Renee abruptly looked up. Her eyes were teary as she begged him, "What's the truth?" "Listen to me and stay with me." Jovan frowned. After a short contemplation, he grinned and continued, "Stay with me for ten days or half a month. Then, I'll tell you.""That's not possible!"Renee immediately refused him, growing cold. "I have to leave right away. I can't watch the two families get into a fight."If she didn't return to North City immediately to explain things, the Baldwin and Hunt families would get into a big fight. Regardless of her circumstances, she didn't want them to fight. They were good people, and she refused to see them hurt. "Just let them fight. It's just a fight among bad people. Your family can grab this chance to get back to the top. Don't you want tha

Jovan felt that he wasn't as passionate and loving as Stefan."Stop beating around the bush. Why is he trying to hold himself back? You made a scumbag sound like he'd suffered a lot!" Renee snarled.She gnashed her teeth. If her foot was not chained, she would have long beaten Jovan up for being evasive and mysterious."I think he was forced to give up his beloved woman because of his identity. He has suffered a lot." Jovan frowned, his tone laced with sympathy."What about his identity? I've already known about that. Our grandfathers decided on our marriage. What are we, Romeo and Juliet?" Renee had wondered if their families were sworn enemies. It might be the reason why Stefan was in a dilemma.However, her grandfather made the Hunts take care of her when her family was doomed. Her grandfather always wanted the best for her. He held her hand and told her that only Stefan could make her happy, and only the Hunt family could protect her. It seemed unreasonable that Stefan was

Jovan was stunned to hear Renee's words. He was so furious, he laughed."Maybe!" He agreed with her and looked at her wickedly. "Since I can't win him over, I want his beloved woman.""You're out of your mind!" Renee was disgusted as goosebumps gripped her. "I'm not his most beloved woman. He loves Briar the most. You got the wrong person. You should kidnap Briar instead. Then, you can get to him."She was acting out of spite, but she meant what she had said.In the past, she was confident that Stefan loved her the most. After so many things had happened, she was no longer as confident. Stefan eventually broke up with her because of Briar. It was enough to prove her position in his heart."Haha! Do you really think so?" Jovan shook his head, his lips a complicated smile. He seemed to be muttering to himself or hinting at something. "Unfortunately, he can't always do a good job. His romance is a mess. His most beloved woman doesn't understand him. How pathetic!""Stop mumbling!

"You're trying to take revenge on Stefan, aren't you? What did he do? Why do you hate him so much?" Renee demanded.She was particularly clueless.At the very least, she felt that Stefan and Jovan didn't have a grudge even if they couldn't get along. Besides—back then, Stefan survived because of Jovan's blood.In a sense, they should be close to each other. Stefan was able to live on because of Jovan.Yet now, Jovan wanted to ruin the one he had once risked his life to rescue."No, I don't hate him," Jovan answered honestly. "I even admire him, and I'm jealous of him. He's my role model, the pride of my family.""Then, you're envious of him!" Renee went straight to the point. "You can't defeat him, so you tried to make him disappear. When that happens, you'll feel better. No one will block you, and you'll get a chance to shine."Jovan, speechless, slowly stopped smiling. Renee had accurately guessed his innermost thoughts. Since he couldn't defeat Stefan, he would let Stefan b

The thing Renee feared the most was that Jovan's action would infuriate the Baldwins.Quinton, Adie, Abby, and Margaret were still there. If the Baldwin family wanted to do something bad, Renee's family would be in danger. Her happiness was secondary. She just wanted to ensure that her family was safe and sound.It seemed Austin was full of schemes. Though he seemed to have brought her family to live with her, he in truth just wanted hostages to control her…Unfortunately, she couldn't go back in time even though she had seen through his tricks."What's the rush?" Jovan watched Renee with a meaningful smile. "Someone will handle it even if it's a big mess. Your family will be fine. My foolish cousin won't let them be in danger. At most, the two families will fight fiercely."Renee was shocked. She glared at him, and suddenly understood something. "So you did it on purpose! You wanted to watch them fight and get something from it.""That's not my concern. Once, I was more powerf

After all, Jovan was a human being. Such direct physical pain made him shake and groan. Normally, he should get angry and try all means to make her stop biting him.However, he was not an ordinary man. Although he trembled in pain, he maintained his posture and let her bite him as if he wanted to see who would give up first.Renee kept biting him fiercely, as if her teeth would gnaw through his palm. Blood oozed out of the wound. She was full of hatred, wishing to vent her anger. "Just bite me hard as long as you're happy. I'm enjoying myself too!"Jovan looked at her, whose head was lowered as she kept biting his palm fiercely. It was a bloody scene, but his words made everything sound ambiguous. Renee noticed his underlying meaning and was disgusted. She immediately let go of his palm. "Bah! Disgusting! You're sick!"Her lips were still stained with blood. From afar, it looked like a blooming rose from afar. It looked attractive on her. Aroused, Jovan held the back of her

The bed was around seventy inches large. Renee's eyes were closed as she moved anxiously.She thought she was still sleeping in the West Chamber, but the mattress didn't feel the same. Then, she abruptly opened her eyes. She saw a luxurious bedroom in the Paris La Nuit Club style. Above her hung a brilliant chandelier akin to the ones in medieval castles. A fragrant scent permeated the air. "You're finally awake…" A man's bewitching voice came from an inconspicuous corner. "Renee."Jovan was sitting in a luxurious chair, his legs crossed, swaying a glass of red wine. He appeared like a stereotypical vampire as he stared wickedly at Renee. "Are you out of your mind, Jovan? What did you do to me?" Renee yelled.Recalling what had happened, she abruptly sat up. Once she realized her situation, she started snarling at him. "Do you or your family hold a grudge against me? Why did you kidnap me from my engagement party?! Have you thought about the consequences? I'm sure you know h

"I… I don't know! I really don't know!" The makeup artist's face was flushed, her eyes rolling back. She felt like she was about to faint again."Are you still trying to hide the truth?" Justin continued flexing his fingers. He was certain that the makeup artist who suddenly wanted to modify the size of the gown must be aware of the truth.With her eyes rolled back, the makeup artist begged him, "I'll tell you…! Please let me go! I'll tell you everything!" Hearing that, Justin slowly released his grasp.The makeup artist finally got a chance to breathe. She kept taking deep breaths and almost cried because of her terror. "What should I tell you?" She truly knew nothing."What?" Justin's gaze grew fierce."Oh, I remember it now…" She drew in a cold breath and hurriedly said, "A handsome guy came not long after you were gone. I think he's Mr. Hunt. When Ms. Everheart saw him, she was very…"She paused, trying to find her words. "She was very…?" Justin urged her. This was the
