'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
In the Obstetrics and Gynecology ward, Briar was lying on a hospital bed, looking very anxious.There were sufficient evidence and witnesses to charge her with stealing. She was currently on bail, pending trial. There were police officers outside the door watching over her.In other words, if Renee refused to drop the case, Briar would go to jail for at least three years.Although she did not have to stay in jail during the pregnancy and breastfeeding period, she would be after that.More importantly, her life would be completely ruined once she was convicted of a criminal offense,If she had known that Renee was such a tough opponent, she would have kept low and stayed far away from Renee!Briar had tried calling Stefan many times, but he didn’t answer any of her calls. It was obvious that he did not want to talk to her. She did not know if he would even save her.She had really made a mess of things this time!At that moment, her attending physician came in. He closed the doo
After the doctor left, Briar rubbed her belly, angry and disappointed. She said, "You should have done better. God gave you a chance to be born into the Hunts, but you actually have a genetic defect... You're gonna stop developing anyway, so don't blame me for being cruel!"What the doctor meant was obvious. Regardless of whether the baby was aborted or not, it would not survive.In that case, she would much rather let the baby die in a miscarriage so that she would not be held responsible.As for how the miscarriage would happen...Briar's eyes became poisonous. Didn't that bitch Renee despise her? In that case, it's completely possible for Renee to “lose control of her emotions” and kill her baby.When that happened, Stefan would definitely make the person who killed his dead brother's child pay. Briar would not even have to do anything else and Renee would die a miserable death.Thinking of that, a content smile crept onto Briar's face. Her touch on the belly became a lot gent
