Renee found Stefan's sudden change in attitude ridiculous. It must have been hard for an arrogant guy like Stefan to put up such a gentle facade for his lover. Renee lifted her chin and said with a fake smile, "Haven't I made it clear enough? All you have to do is let your lover kneel and apologize to me in front of all the media.""Don't go overboard." Stefan's eyes turned cold. Somehow, Renee seemed like a complete stranger to him. The old Renee was not so aggressive."I told you. Briar is still in the hospital with an unstable pregnancy. How can you have her kneel and apologize to you?""Is that so?!"Renee silently clenched her firsts. Despite the heartache, she maintained her arrogance and mocked Stefan. "She can't kneel, but you can kneel on her behalf. Well, Mr. Hunt, aren't you a man who would bend over for true love? How touching!"Nothing mattered to Renee anymore. Just let Stefan think of her as a mean and cold-blooded woman. Despite being kind and meek for the past
"We have feelings for each other?"Renee stopped eating and smiled helplessly. "Margaret, you're always good at reading people, but not today. Unfortunately, you've misread the situation. Do you know the reason behind Stefan's sudden visit and all that courting?""That's because… he can't let go of you and wants to reconcile?"Renee shook her head. "He came to plead for his lover. He's a prideful man but stripped his pride for such an awful woman. That's unacceptable. I'll never forgive him for that!""What…" Margaret looked at Renee, appalled. She did not expect Renee's former husband, who seemed so upright and noble, to be so dishonorable. That was a great disappointment."I don't think he's that kind of man. He should be able to distinguish between right and wrong. He probably won't condone his lover and her bad character. Is there some misunderstanding?""Misunderstanding?"Renee sneered, "Margaret, you lack experience in relationships. Do you know? There's no right and wron
'Here for a reason?!' When Stefan heard those words, he remembered his unpleasant exchange with Renee and got angrier."What business do you have? Don't blabber, or I'll block you."After that, Stefan continued to bury himself in work. He had a cold aura around him, as though he was an iceberg completely isolated from the world.'Gee. Stefan's really pissed!' Xavier thought and gulped. He finally realized Rachel's good intentions in telling him to come back another day.As Xavier turned to Rachel, trying to ask for help, Rachel obligingly smiled at him and left. "Mr. Stuarts, please feel free and talk to Mr. Hunt. I'm going back to work."And then... She just left like that!‘Damn! Rachel, seriously?!’Xavier watched Rachel as she casually locked the door and left the room. He suddenly felt a sense of despair, like he’d been strategically fed to the beast.‘Nevermind,’ he thought. 'I'm here already. Might as carry on.'After all, who else would suffer here if not him?"Ahem!"
Stefan grabbed his notebook. With a pen, he wrote "How to court a woman” in capital letters. Xavier took a glance and almost burst out laughing."Stefan, oh, Stefan. Everyone says you're as cold as an iceberg. Why do I feel like you're such a dork? Learn how to court a woman by understanding, not by reading. Why are you taking notes?"Stefan said with a blank face, "There are rules to follow for everything. Courting a woman is no different. I'm not only taking notes, but I'm going to do an analysis later. I'll compare various methods and increase the sample data to evaluate the reasonableness and feasibility of your teachings.""Are you serious… Do you have to go that far?" Stefan acted as if he was performing a feasibility test on a multi-billion project, which pushed Xavier's pressure sky-high."I take everything I do seriously." Stefan looked up at Xavier with a warning gaze. "You better be serious at teaching. If it doesn't work, you're finished."Xavier suddenly felt nervou
Xavier went on, "If she blocks you, use a different number. Whenever you're free, flirt with her and make her happy. Then, you move onto Step 2—romance.""All women like romantic things, especially dreamers like your ex-wife. If you're romantic enough, she's as good as yours."Stefan pushed his glasses into place and recorded everything carefully in his notebook. He was very serious the whole time. He even raised his hand and asked, "How do I be romantic?""That's an entirely different lesson. I won't go into that today because there's simply not enough time. You can try watching some romantic dramas, especially Korean dramas, and see what the male protagonists do. I'll find the time to make some PowerPoint slides to teach you the specifics.""Okay."Stefan nodded. "Go on," he ordered like he was Xavier's boss. "Step 3 is relaxing. After a period of fierce pursuit, you have to stop for a bit. This is called emotional push-and-pull. It's a crucial stage. You must control how much
Stefan's handsome face was calm. He merely raised his eyebrows slightly and asked the cautious-looking Xavier, "Why not?"Christopher and him, as well as Xavier, became sworn brothers a long time ago. They were even closer than real brothers.Now that the eldest brother was getting engaged, as the younger brother, there was no reason for him not to go.Xavier thought Stefan was just putting on a brave face. He comforted Stefan, "It's okay, bro, Chris said if you don't want to go, you don't have to. He understands. After all, the relationship between you, him, and Cecy is a bit complicated...”"It's nothing complicated."Stefan said nonchalantly, "One's a brother, the other's an old friend. They're getting engaged. I'll definitely go to the engagement.""But... alright!" Xavier heaved a long sigh with an even stronger look of sympathy on his face.In his opinion, Stefan was obviously just acting nonchalantly.Cecilia was Stefan's first love. Now that his first love was getting e
Stefan picked up his phone and dialed Renee's number with practiced familiarity, only to suddenly remember that she had blocked him. He became even madder."Rachel!" He angrily summoned his secretary.The secretary walked cautiously into the office and asked, "What can I do for you, Mr. Hunt?""Lend me your phone.""M-My phone?"Although Rachel was confused, she still handed her phone to Stefan respectfully.Without saying another word, Stefan dialed Renee's number again.The phone rang for only three seconds before it was picked up."Hello?"Renee's lazy voice, with a trace of joy, came from the other end of the phone.She just swindled hundreds of thousands of dollars from him! Of course she would be happy!"Sounds like you're in a good mood," Stefan said sarcastically with a stiff face.Renee immediately recognized Stefan's voice. She replied, "I'm not feeling too bad!""You have such a great business mind, don't you? You made hundreds of thousands of dollars just like
However, even after a long wait, no new dialog box appeared.Renee's curiosity was piqued even more. She asked, [Are you new?]Now, even the "typing..." status was gone. The person was playing dead now.No reply?!Renee was originally not interested, but she now had a strong desire to conquer this challenge.The guy was quite the character. He was probably a handsome young man that was used to women's adoration. That's why he's so arrogant.Renee happened to be in a bad mood and wanted to pour out her negative emotions, so she simply treated the person as a tree hole.After all, a tree hole only had to listen and never had to speak. That's its function.The phone lit up with a faint light in the dark room. Renee typed a wall of text into the chat.[Bro, is there anyone who really annoys you? You're young, so probably not, but big sis does know someone like that. The most ironic thing is this person I hate is someone I used to deeply love. I swear, I've never seen a bigger fool
