Francine shouted at Renee, "You've already divorced Stefan, yet you still pester him. Now you even dare to come to Hunt Villa and provoke us. How could there be such a shameless woman like you!"Elijah wanted to explain, but he was cut short by Renee, who was a step quicker. She retorted back venomously, "Ms. Francine, please open your eyes wider and see who’s bothering who. You failed as a mother for having a son so shameless.""You…"Francine was so mad that she couldn’t form her words properly.“Before this, I was your daughter-in-law, and I respected you. But now that I am no longer related to the Hunts, I will sue you for emotional harm if you offend me again.”After speaking, Renee tried to push Stefan away with all her strength but failed.She couldn’t help but suspect that he was doing it on purpose."Stefan, are you done fooling around? Let go of me, or I will hurt you!"Renee had her fist clenched, and she was about to strike him.She didn't want to spend another sec
After Renee left, Briar smiled satisfyingly.She carried the drunken Stefan and said to Francine, “Ms. Francine, I'll take Stefan to the room now. I believe my engagement to Stefan will be sealed soon after tonight.”Francine nodded. “Yes. We need to grab hold of the opportunity.”Although she wasn’t satisfied with Briar, compared to Renee, Briar listened to her more.She hoped that Briar could make use of tonight so that Renee doesn’t try to come again.Elijah was getting anxious as he stood by the side. He felt that Stefan was in danger.He couldn’t figure out how Renee would be willing to give up the man she loved to a woman like Briar.‘Does Ms. Everheart really not love Mr. Hunt anymore? If that’s the case, Mr. Hunt will be in a lot of trouble!’ he thought.“Stefan, I’ll take you to your room.”Suddenly, Stefan pushed Briar away and said emotionlessly, “Go away. You’re not her.”Seeing this, Briar was a little stunned and asked carefully, “Stefan, have you sobered up?”
Stefan woke up the next day with his head weighing a million pounds.He looked around and saw Elijah sitting in front of the bed, observing him with a frown."Mr. Hunt, you’re finally awake. My mission is done. I can leave now." He let out a sigh of relief and seemed excited.With Stefan completely out of it last night, all he could do was guard him the entire night. Elijah feared that Briar, who was yearning for a chance with Stefan, would sneak in and take advantage of the man while he was out of commission.Stefan rubbed his temples and frowned as he tried to recall everything that happened last night.The only memory he had was playing finger guessing with Renee."Did I get drunk last night?"He resumed his cold demeanor, sounding indifferent. "Based on my skills, there's no way I lost control," he stated firmly.Hearing this, Elijah rolled his eyes secretly.'Here we go again. Every time Mr. Hunt gets drunk, he will forget everything that happened, and he would deny all h
Today was the day that Renee was supposed to officially move out of Sunup Residence.Although it was mainly because she wanted to avoid her ex-husband, Stefan, she had also been dreaming about moving to her new place for four years.Her new place would be the Everheart Manor!After the Everheart family went bankrupt four years ago, the court sold off their three-story mansion.Nevertheless, since her parents had passed away at the manor, no one dared to purchase it, even at a modest price.It was auctioned off again a few days ago.This time, Renee bought it for 1.5 billion without further hesitation.She only told Leia and Liam about her new home, who both wanted to throw her a housewarming party. Leia even said that she'd be bringing a mysterious guest.Renee quickly agreed to it as she wanted the abandoned Everheart Residence to feel lively again.She hadn’t stayed in Sunup Residence for long, and there wasn’t much to pack. Before leaving, she gave the door one last look
Renee noticed that the iron fence had been knocked down, and in one spot, the tall grass had been trodden on, with footprints in the wet mud.It was obvious that someone had come to the house before. The footprints, however, indicated that they went in but never came out.There was a high possibility that the person was still inside!Behind her, the man from the moving company put down her baggage and wiped his sweat nervously. "Miss, I’ve put all your stuff here. I’m not going in there. A word of advice, get out of here as soon as possible when you can."Renee turned around to look at the man and asked worriedly, "Do you know what’s wrong with the house? Everyone seems to be saying there’s something wrong with it."The man gulped nervously and stole a glance at the house. “Haven’t you heard? The couple who owned the house ended their lives there. Their ghosts are trapped there, and the house has become haunted!”"I know the owners passed away, but I believe it's nothing more tha
A handsome man in a black suit walked down from the second floor."Haze!" Renee’s eyes widened in surprise.He had disappeared after letting her go when he didn't reveal her identity as Phoenix in front of Stefan the last time.She thought he'd returned to Aplen.His appearance made her assume he must harbor a hidden motive for suddenly appearing in her house and helping her clean."Judging from the disappointed look on your face, I guess I'm unwelcome?"He walked to the middle of the stairs and looked down at Renee. His smile had a sense of wickedness to it. "I’ve been busy since the afternoon. I’m so tired that I feel like my back will break. If anything happens to me, you're the one responsible.""Ahem!" Renee shuddered from embarrassment. She never thought that the intelligent hacker would be this flirtatious. "Stop your gloating and get down here!"Liam glared at Haze and stated sternly. "There’s no way you’ll do all these without a price. If my sister didn’t want you he
The three of them looked confused as they opened their phones.Then, Leia began to scream."Oh my god! I can’t believe this. Are Ren and Stefan trending on Twitter now?"At the same time, both Renee and Liam stared at their phones as they were shocked by the news.Most of the topics trending were about Stefan and Renee.[Oh my! It’s a video of Mr. Hunt begging his ex-wife, trying to win her back!][How did he become a simp!][If a CEO can become a simp, why can't ordinary guys become one?][This is Mr. Hunt's first step in his attempt to win back his wife.]Every item she clicked on had a video of Stefan tightly clutching Renee and refusing to let her go. It was sweet but humorous, and it was really an interesting video!Netizens began a heated discussion and even made funny edits to the video. As a result, the video remained at the top of the trending searches."Hahahahahaha!" After a long silence, Liam and Leia eventually burst out laughing."Boss, is this video real or
That night, Liam and the rest left Everheart Manor reluctantly under Renee’s request.Before leaving, Leia held on to Renee’s hand and asked worriedly, “Are you sure you’re okay living alone in the huge manor? I heard that there are ghosts at night. Aren’t you scared?”“Of course, I’m not. This is my house. Even if there are ghosts around, they’re my family, so they won’t hurt me,” Renee said with a smile.They only left after getting her affirmation.After all, ghosts were not as terrifying as the terrible people Renee had previously encountered!After the three of them left, the temporarily vibrant home became silent, with the property's moist odor permeating the surroundings as though confirming nobody had been here for years. However, Renee was unbothered by it.She started cleaning the dishes while humming a tune to herself. She then filled the vase with water and placed the sunflowers inside before setting them next to her bed.Although the manor looked decayed from the
