Chapter 118

Author: Mizuki Sei
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

    Stefan's words made Renee's blood boil. Fueled by her desire to beat Stefan, she immediately turned to his grandfather and said enthusiastically, "It's true, Grandpa. Liam and I are officially dating. I hope you can forgive me and give us your blessings. He's the one who can truly protect me and make me happy!"Liam looked tenderly at Renee next to him. He knew this was only an act to make Stefan angry, but he still felt touched by what Renee said. After all, he wasn't even Renee's backup plan.Liam suddenly felt a rush of happiness at the feeling of being Renee's boyfriend. It was like he'd won the lottery!Timothy remained stern for a few seconds before suddenly bursting into laughter. He smiled at Renee and said kindly, "Silly child, of course I'll offer you my blessings. I wouldn't have invited you two over for dinner otherwise. I only wanted to see if this kid was reliable, and if he could look after you. You've just got out of a painful relationship, so how could I possibly le

    Stefan blinked at Liam, dumbfounded. Naturally, he couldn't answer. Although he and Renee had been married for four years, he could count the number of times they'd dined at the same table. Even when they did, he never really paid attention to the food she liked."I don't waste time on pointless things like that," Stefan scoffed arrogantly."Pointless things?" Liam's playfulness instantly disappeared, and was quickly replaced by rage."That's right. A cold-blooded reptile like you will always be selfish. Why would you ever think of someone else?" Liam wasn't afraid of making Stefan angry. In fact, he would have loved to teach Stefan a lesson with his fists instead!"You know, I feel sorry for Ren. She poured her heart and soul into the relationship. She knows that you like mild-flavored food, not spicy food. She also knows you like your steak cooked medium rare, and learned over a hundred ways of cooking steak for you. Unfortunately, her thoughtfulness and efforts were just a waste

    The annual Global Technology Summit was being held at Lux Hotel.Various media companies and reporters were waiting outside the hotel at the break of dawn with their equipment, eagerly waiting for two particular people to show up. One of them was a man troubled by his divorce, the future heir of the Hunt family, and also the CEO of Hunt Enterprise, Stefan Hunt. The other was a well-known researcher in the field of electronic chips, who also happened to be KCL Holdings' largest shareholder, Mr. Y. Mr. Y attracted a lot of public attention not just because of his mysterious identity and the fact that he'd never shown up in public, but also because he had a tight-knit relationship with Stefan. The chips created by KCL Holdings were only sold to Hunt Enterprise, which meant that Hunt Enterprise occupied 75 percent of the market in the electronics and technology industry. On top of that, Stefan frequently met with a mysterious man in a hotel. It was rumored that this man was most likel

    "What do you think two men might be up to if they're staying in the same hotel room?" Someone said teasingly, and the group started laughing again.This 'rumor' regarding Stefan and Mr. Y had actually started out as a funny little insult within the industry. However, a series of coincidences made it sound like it was true."Besides, I heard that Mr. Hunt didn't divorce his wife because he was cheating with another woman. That 'mistress' was actually a paid actor, hired by Mr. Hunt and Mr. Y…""No way!"Renee was dumbfounded. She immediately recalled her interactions with the man. The way he avoided women, how there were never any scandals involving him, and how he didn't smile often around her… 'It does feel like there's some truth in this rumor, but if he really was gay, why did he… do that to me the other night?' Renee felt immensely confused, and opened up Google on her phone.There were so many people around that Renee was squeezed out of the crowd once the search results ap

    "I don't know how to tell you. I'm sure you can understand." Renee could not bring herself to say more because it was a humiliating privacy. She might as well keep it to herself."Let me guess…" Justin's gaze grew sharp as he went straight to the point. "The man in your story is Stefan, isn't it?" Silence washed over Renee as she kept her head bowed. It was a silent approval.Justin burst into reckless laughter, which was scary. He looked down at his cut wound and laughed pathetically. "This is why he could make you fall in love with him, and I couldn't. I'm too cultured compared to him.""Don't say that, Haze!"Seeing how defeated Justin was, Renee became uneasy. "It isn't written in the stars for us. Plus, I've fallen in love with Stefan a long time ago before I even got to know you. I also rely on him physically and psychologically. I can't control my feelings. It's not something we can change. We…" "Stop!" Heartbroken, Justin pushed away everything in front of him and s

    Time passed by. Gradually, the pain knocked some sense into Justin. He no longer wanted to take advantage of Renee."Let me get you some water." Renee had no idea what she could do for Justin. After some contemplation, she got to her feet and poured him a glass of water.Finally, she studied the room closely and found that it was a wedding room as Justin had mentioned. Everything was set up according to her preferences, which she had occasionally mentioned to Justin. For example, she loved keeping some ceramic ornaments on the bedside cabinet and hanging some seashell wind chimes at the windows. The entire room was painted in beige and green, which were her favorites, too. Beige gave a sense of warmth, while green gave a sense of gloominess. All of those details became the perfect wedding room for Renee.If everything went on smoothly, she would spend most of her time there, and he would be her life companion. Unfortunately, there were no ifs in the world.Renee handed the gla

    Renee covered her lips, her tone filled with disbelief. "I…cut myself." Justin leaned against the corner and frowned deeply. He was in deep pain."Why did you cut yourself?" Renee was scared out of her wits and grew more sober. In her panic, she threw herself at him and tried to stop his bleeding.Justin reacted aggressively as he waved his dagger and warned fiercely, "Get away from me! Don't touch me!" "I…" Renee paused, too afraid to act recklessly. She pointed at his wound and said, "I'm just worried about you. You're bleeding. It must hurt a lot. Why did you hurt yourself?" "It's better to be in pain!" Justin gnashed his teeth and said in agony, "The pain will knock some sense into me, so I won't act like an animal and lose control of myself.""I see…" Stunned, Renee was moved to tears. She understood why he cut himself. Surprisingly, he wanted to stay sober and not be controlled by the drug in the wine.He could have used her to satisfy his desire, and she would never b

    "You're playing with fire!" Justin leaned close to Renee's ears and said fiercely, "What do you think there is in the wine? Maybe I'm not someone who will take liberty on women, but I can't promise that the wine won't make me so." "So, you're saying that the wine…" Suddenly, Renee realized the wine was not as simple as she thought. She also understood why Rose had behaved in such a mysterious manner. "Stay…away from me!" Suddenly, she became frightened and wanted to keep some distance from Justin. She knew that people could not be trusted completely, especially under the effects of chemical reactions. Things would certainly get out of control. Justin probably did not want to do anything to her, but both of them would lose their minds under the effect of the wine and do something that would fill them with regret. The only way to prevent such an incident was to avoid each other."You want to stay away from me, but it's too late now. I'm no saint. I'm just a normal guy!"Just

    "I'm so thirsty!" The burning sensation of the wine made Renee thirsty. She wanted to drink some water.In the dark, she heard some rustling. The next second, something was on her lips. It seemed to be someone else's lips. She wondered if someone had secretly kissed her."Who are you?" Renee grabbed the person in front of her and interrogated angrily, "How dare you kiss me without my permission! Do you know who I am? I'll cut off your lips!""Let's see if you can do that or not." The man sounded dull and drunk, but he was also overbearing.Although Renee was drunk, she could discern who it was. She called out in the dark and tried to confirm her doubt. "Haze…?" "Yeah, it's me," Justin admitted, but he did not plan to let her go. He used a more overbearing manner and trapped her between him and the door."What do you want?" Renee panicked. She wanted to kick him away, but she did not resist when she learned that it was Justin. After she had done so many things to hurt him, s

    The servant walked forward with trepidation and helped Justin back to his room. Austin's eyes were dark. He whispered to his assistant, who nodded and immediately carried out his order.After two glasses of strong wine, Renee felt dizzy and could not stand steadily. "It's weird. Is this wine this strong? I just had two glasses of it, but I feel quite dizzy." It was hard for her to exit the hall. She could not stand properly, so she supported herself against the wall."Ms. Everheart, you didn't seem well. Let me help you to get some rest." Austin's assistant caught up to her and stood behind her. He even sounded respectful. "It's… fine. I can go back to my room." Renee waved; she didn't want to trouble others. Besides, she did not want others to see how miserable she was. She had assumed that she was good at drinking and would not get drunk, but it seemed like she had overestimated herself. After two glasses of wine, she became quite drowsy. She would not easily leave if s

    Renee blinked and smiled brightly at Justin, asking him, "Are you worried about me?" "No, I'm not worried about you!" Justin said angrily. "I don't want you to get killed here. I can't explain it to your brother and kids. It's hard to handle the three of them."He was not lying. Although he had befriended Quinton, Adie and Abby might make a scene there if they realized that Renee had drunk so much wine at the party. They were witty, always full of ideas.Hence, it was better not to cause trouble. Before they could make a scene and things get out of control, Justin must stop Renee. He wasn't worried about her at all. "So, you're not worried about me?" Renee's gaze turned dull as she sighed. "It looks like you didn't forgive me. So, I must drink this glass of wine." Something was wrong with Renee, or perhaps she just wanted to torture herself. It seemed like she insisted on drinking the wine. She swung off Justin's hand and gulped down the wine."You're out of your mind!" Justi

    The aged white wine was strong. Ordinary people would find it hard to drink a glass of it. Yet, Renee had drunk two glasses of it consecutively. It was a little dangerous. Everyone at the dining table was initially watching the fun, but they showed Renee some pity after she drank two glasses of wine consecutively. After wiping her lips clean, Renee staggered and said to Justin, "Let me toast to you now. I've wronged you the most." Justin, sitting there, said with a poker face, "You don't have to say sorry to me. We don't hold each other any grudge. After all, we can't make others fall in love with us.""No, I must apologize to you. It's for my sake." After that, Renee used a bigger glass and filled it with wine."Whatever!" Justin frowned and ignored Renee. He had no idea what was wrong with her. He had yielded and let her off, but she stubbornly wanted to keep drinking the wine.He wondered if she had forgotten the fact that she had just recovered from a serious illness. She

    Suddenly, Justin became mature and stopped making jokes. He talked steadily and was no longer emotional. It filled Austin with worry because it made him feel like Justin was an emotionless robot.In comparison, he liked Justin's previous self better. At that time, Justin was simple and sentimental. He was the grandson Austin doted on the most.Sophia grinned and commented, "Dad, you don't have to worry about Justin. Men will change. Previously, he was just a childish kid even though he was in his twenties. He didn't know how to see through people's pretense. But he's all grown up now. He knows what's right or wrong. That's a great thing!" As a mother, she naturally did not want her son to get hurt. Although she favored Renee and wanted the latter to be her daughter-in-law, she would give up since Renee had let her son down and harmed him. All she wanted was to see Renee get away from her son."Yes, you're right. People need to grow up. He has grown up a lot lately, but the price
