"Your daughter-in-law?"A playful expression crept onto Haze's handsome face.So the well-dressed woman in front of him was Francine Milford, Renee's former mother-in-law."As far as I know, Ms. Everheart is currently single. It's a bit inappropriate for you to claim to be her mother-in-law like this.""What do you know?"Francine raised her chin high and said, "If she's my daughter-in-law for a day, she's my daughter-in-law for a lifetime. Until the day she remarries, no one can replace my position as the “mother-in-law”."Haze put his hands in his pockets and chuckled. “In that case, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I'm actually here to take Ms. Everheart to meet my parents. If everything goes well, she'll have a new mother-in-law soon."Francine already had an impending sense of crisis before this, but after hearing what Haze said, the sense of crisis became even stronger. She immediately interrogated him, "Who are you? Who are your parents? What's your relationship with Re
"300,000 dollars that it's over!"The outcome of Stefan and Renee's love life instantly became the subject of a bet. From senior management to cleaners, the entire Hunt Enterprise enthusiastically participated in it. They all looked forward to the pay day!In the CEO's Office, Stefan asked, "What's going on?"Stefan's originally calm expression immediately faltered the moment the door closed. He asked Francine urgently, "Who's Renee running away with?"Francine could tell from Stefan's reaction that her iceberg of a son had truly fallen in love this time.She did not know whether to be happy or not at that."I don't know who that guy is. He's quite tall and handsome and has a wild feel to him. He's completely different from you. If Renee's taste has really changed, you're in trouble..."Francine told him honestly.Stefan was emotional, but he pretended not to care. He shrugged and said casually, "So what if her taste has changed? We're already divorced. She's free to like whate
Stefan's expression was cold and indifferent. "She can do whatever she wants. She's single now. It's not like I can tie her up."Francine glared at her son with a frown, lamenting his incompetence and lamenting his misfortune. "Yeah, keep acting tough. I hope you won't regret this."To be honest, it was not as if she liked Renee that much. She only wanted her as a daughter-in-law because her son had fallen in love with her.In addition, the lemon pie made by Renee were truly amazing. Her impression of the woman had improved because of that.Therefore, she could not bear to see a good daughter-in-law like her slip away!Francine became increasingly angrier the more she thought about it. She decided to turn her anger into appetite. She opened the box filled with lemon pie and started to gnaw on one.The aroma of the lemon pie filled the entire office.Stefan stared at his mother who was stuffing her face with lemon pie without any care for how unladylike she looked, his handsome f
Francine patted Stefan on the shoulder and encouraged him, "I believe that as long as you're willing to fight for it, the thing you lost will surely come back to you with a firmer attitude."Francine said no more and left the Hunt Enterprise.Staring at the remaining pie in the lunch box while standing alone in his spacious office, Stefan felt like he could imagine Renee getting busy in the kitchen. It warmed his heart...-At Hunt Villa, Renee and Margaret made a lot of dishes to entertain Haze, who had suddenly come for a visit."Haze, Margaret was able to escape danger thanks to you. I've always wanted to invite you to dinner to express my gratitude, but I haven't been able to find the time. Today's the perfect chance... Think of this fruit juice as wine. Here's a toast to you!"Renee picked up a glass filled with juice and said gratefully to Haze.Margaret also stood up, poured herself a full glass of wine, and raised it towards Haze. "Mr. Haze, thank you for everything. Che
Upon hearing that, Stefan's handsome face became even colder. "Damn that woman. She really ran away!"Margaret carefully provided Stefan with useful information. "I heard them say they're going to Sutton. They're on the way to the airport now. If you hurry, you can still catch up to them...""Sutton?!"With clenched fists and a chilly look in his eyes, Stefan said, "She better pray I won't catch her, or I'll break her leg!"Without saying another word, he drove his expensive sports car straight towards the biggest airport in Beach City.When he walked into the airport lobby, he happened to run into Renee and Haze, who had just arrived themselves."It's you!"Stefan was surprised to see Haze standing next to Renee."What are you doing here?"Renee was surprised to see Stefan too. She felt guilty for some reason, like she had been caught cheating. She subconsciously took a step back.Haze smiled calmly and reached his hand out to Stefan. “Mr. Hunt, long time no see. Are you goi
Stefan took a deep breath and tried to keep his anger under control. He asked Renee, "Since you already know what kind of person he is, why did you still get close to him? Is there something wrong with your brain?""What kind of person he is?"Renee looked directly at Stefan's fierce eyes and gave him a mocking smile. "He's a hacker. People pay him to do stuff. Isn't that reasonable? What's the problem?”"But you... you would go to any length to protect your little lover, wouldn't you? Including destroying evidence in secret. I think your personality is even shadier. You're the one I should stay away from!"“...”Stefan pursed his lips. He was rendered speechless again.Renee was right. In terms of shadiness, he was even shadier than Haze. What moral high ground did he have to criticize Haze's character?Haze looked at his watch and said with a smile on his face, “I'm sorry, Mr. Hunt, but our flight is about to take off. Please make way. This is the first meeting between Ms. Eve
The scene startled the passers-by at the airport.Stefan and Renee were also surprised. They could not make heads or tails of the situation.Haze's eyebrows furrowed. He looked at the elderly man kneeling before him with some displeasure. “Albert, didn't I make it clear that I'll board the plane myself when the time comes? Don't make such a scene!"The elderly man bowed his head in reverence but said with some degree of forcefulness, "Sir, everybody's waiting anxiously for you. They're worried that you might change your mind again, so they sent me to escort you back. I've already chartered the entire plane. Please cooperate with me!""Escort me?" Haze rolled his eyes. "More like keeping an eye on me. After all these years, Grandpa is still so domineering. Was it any wonder that I ran away?""But this time, you don't have to worry because I'm bringing his future granddaughter-in-law back with me. I wouldn't run away halfway!"Upon hearing that, Albert's eyes lit up. He immediately
After saying that, Justin confidently tried to pull Renee back.Unsurprisingly, Stefan did not let Renee go. He narrowed his eyes at Justin and sneered, “Is that so? We'll see just how capable you are then!”Meanwhile, Renee was not enjoying being stuck in the middle of these two men as they played tug of war with her.“Stop it!” Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore and screamed at them. She kicked both of their legs and broke free from their grip angrily.“What's wrong with the both of you? Do you think I’m a toy to play around with? Have you even asked me what I want?” Renee snapped at them, crossing her arms over her chest.Stefan and Justin stopped glaring at each other and turned to her.Stefan said coldly, “If you had a brain, you'd know he has a motive for getting close to you… You should know what to do.”When Justin heard this, he shrugged and admitted, "I do have a motive. The truth is that I'm in love with you and want to marry you. I feel the Baldwins and the Hunts
