The moment Renee returned to her apartment in West Langsmith, she immediately pulled out her laptop. With just a few clicks, she disabled the virus planted in the Hunt Enterprise’s system, allowing it to return to normal.The negative remarks on the internet soon came to a half, and Hunt Enterprise’s stock price slowly regained stability.“Boss, what’s going on? We’re just getting started. Why did you disable the virus all of a sudden?” Liam sounded agitated over the phone. He called as soon as he caught wind that Hunt Enterprise was recovering. “Didn’t you say you’d focus on your career now? And that you’d be targeting Hunt Enterprise? Don’t tell me you’ve started to feel bad for Stefan. Do you still like him or something?”For the past few days, the malware in Hunt Enterprise’s system resulted in a massive leak of their client’s information. A few of their partners ended their contracts with Hunt Enterprise out of anger and turned to work with a new company instead.On the surf
Renee directed a reassuring smile at the secretary. “Don’t worry, I’ll be able to handle it”After that, she lifted her chin and strode confidently into Stefan’s office. Just as she expected, she found the little mistress, Briar, in there.The woman was sobbing in Stefan’s arms but quickly moved away as soon as she saw Renee enter the office as if she had been caught red-handed doing something bad.“Ms. Everheart, please don’t misunderstand, we were just…”“Save it.” Renee put up her hand. Turning to Stefan, she said, “Sorry for interrupting your date, Mr. Hunt, but I’m here for the divorce settlement. I’ll leave once I’ve obtained your signature.”Stefan rested his arms on his desk and without a hint of emotion on his face, he responded, “Oh that… do you really need it in such a hurry?”‘What the hell is he saying?’ Renee thought as she suppressed the urge to beat him up. Through gritted teeth, she growled, “What do you think?!”“There’s still ten days till we are legally div
Despite being married for four years, they rarely stood this close to each other. The air between them abruptly rose in temperature.Renee’s face was bright red as she tried her best to regulate her breathing. “Yeah, so I hope you can give us your blessing, Mr. Hunt. I’ve given you my blessing after all.”Stefan’s eyes darkened, huffing coldly. “Who is it? Is it Geronimo’s youngest son? If I remember correctly, that guy’s three years younger than you. You know that, right?”His words alone were enough to upset Renee. ‘What? Is he implying that I’m too old? Then why can other men date girls who are decades younger than them, but women can’t date someone just a couple of years younger?“And what about it? Why does it matter to you? Besides… don’t you know that a lot of younger guys prefer mature women now? Oh, how hard it was to resist his adorable efforts when he was pursuing me.”“I don’t care if you’re dating a younger guy, but Liam Osborne is off-limits.” Stefan narrowed his eye
“Please darling, we’ve been married for four years, you know? Even if you did cheat on me… I forgive you, because… my love for you is true… Please… just don’t be so cruel to me…“I wasn’t asking for much either, I just wanted the least valuable law firm that you own. You can’t just divorce me and leave me out on the streets to starve, right? I’ll die!“I’ll give you my blessing… I’ll leave quietly for your sake! I won’t bother you at all, I just want you to be happy!”Renee’s acting was immaculate. Tears were flowing down her cheeks and she damsel in distress. Riled up by her performance, the viewers left countless comments as the stream continued.[What a jerk! Stefan Hunt really is as cruel as they say! How inhumane can he be?!][Men like him should rot in hell! She just wanted a law firm, that’s pocket change for him!][This bastard and his mistress should burn in hell!][I’m unfollowing them! Men are all the same! What a waste of good looks!]Stefan was visibly enraged at t
“Mr. Hunt, calm down! Leave Mrs. Hunt alone!”“You know that domestic abuse is a crime, right? Mrs. Hunt is such a great person! She loves you so much too! How could you ever bring yourself to hit her!?”“We’ll quit our jobs if you dare to hit her one more time! And we’ll file a lawsuit against you for the abuse you’ve put her through!”These people were employees of Hunt Enterprise, specifically the ones Renee handed her lunchboxes in secret to. Looks like the few extra snacks Renee gave them finally paid off.At the time, Stefan and Renee were still in a rather… inconvenient position.Looking from afar, it seemed that Stefan was forcing himself on Renee, using his tall figure as an advantage to her feeble body. To an outsider, it was truly an infuriating sight.Stefan’s actions had caused an uproar. Even his most trusted assistant, Elijah, was on Renee’s side this time.“Mr. Hunt, I have to be real with you here.“Mrs. Hunt is a great person. You should know that. For the pas
After the live stream incident, Stefan found himself in a PR disaster where netizens cursed him out daily. Some of them even went as far as to expose his mistress, Briar’s past relationship with his late brother.Everyone was absolutely furious with Stefan’s indecency, especially with how he was sexually involved with his brother’s girlfriend. Hunt Enterprise, which had barely recovered from the recent cyber attack, was also affected by this. Their stock prices tanked as soon as news of their CEO’s scandal spread.“Stef, what in the world happened in that live stream? Just look at how you treat Renee… How could my son be such a bastard!“Your cheating is now being published on every platform too! Aren’t you proud of yourself?!“And how dare you abuse Renee! If I weren’t traveling abroad to find a suitable heart donor for your grandfather’s surgery, I’d make sure you won’t see the light of day!”The sun had just risen, but Stefan had already received an earful from his father.W
Stefan’s patience was wearing thin. “Just spit it out, what’s the hold-up?”“After careful data analysis on every platform, we’ve arrived at the conclusion that most netizens feel upset for the unfairness that Mrs. Hunt has faced. “If you were to obtain Mrs. Hunt’s forgiveness, and show the public how your relationship has improved, I think we have a good chance of changing public opinion toward you,” Rachel explained while looking away from Stefan.She knew just how prideful her boss was. In fact, it wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that everyone perceived him as the ruler of Beach City. Now, they were asking for him to grovel before a woman he had abandoned. It just didn’t seem possible.“No.” Stefan was very straightforward with his answer. “Since those netizens love wasting their time on gossip, then so be it.”“They are naive if they think they’re able to take Hunt Enterprise down,” Stefan scoffed haughtily. Hunt Enterprise has branched out into various industries, in
Stefan did not expect to find 300,000 active users on this forum, which placed it in the top five most active groups on the entire website.He foolishly thought that this was just a small interest group, but it seemed that they were as big as an army. It was no wonder a single live stream was able to put him in the headlines.Stefan continued scrolling down the page, his eyes completely focused on the screen.[This is so sweet! Just look at them! Look at them!][Oh my god, my precious little Renee is looking at that bastard with such loving eyes!][They’re definitely the opposites attract trope! The cold tsundere CEO, Stefan Hunt, loves his wife just as much as she does!]The forum was incredibly active, and new threads containing old stories, photos, and theories would pop up every few minutes, all revolving around Stefan and Renee’s relationship. This was the first time Stefan realized that he actually had this many pictures with Renee. Moreover, he noticed just how deeply in
