"This is my wedding ring, which symbolizes my marriage to my husband. Although it might not be the most priceless item here, it is still endowed with a special meaning. Now, I would like to donate it, and I hope it would garner a good price and help as many people who needed help as possible."This move instantly stirred the crowd into a flurry. How could she so easily decide to donate her wedding ring?! Some people praised her generosity and charitable nature and for not binding herself to sentimental attachment to objects. But others were beginning to suspect if the rumors about the rift in the marriage between Stefan and Renee were true after all.Stefan, who was right in the center of the audience, exuded a chilling aura that warned people from approaching him. His dashing face betrayed no signs of emotions. Meanwhile, Liam could not be more delighted. With a wicked smile, he uttered the following words as if they were cuts from a dagger aimed at Stefan's heart, "Tsk tsk tsk,
Renee could have just left then and there. After all, in less than ten days, she would be officially divorced from this guy, and they would forever have nothing to do with each other anymore.Besides, if he really did die this evening, she would inherit a massive chunk of his fortune as his wife—she would be unimaginably wealthy then!But in the end, she realized that she could not be that cruel and that she could not just turn a blind eye to this, so she returned to the auction hall. What else could she do when that scumbag was the biological father to her two children? If her children found out in the future that she had just left their father to die without helping him, they would certainly hate her forever!The atmosphere in the auction hall had almost reached a fever pitch by the time she returned to her seat."Five million!""Six million!""Six and a half million!" Celebrities and public figures from all walks of life enthusiastically raised their bidding placards. The
Stefan and Renee both went on stage. Under the dazzling light, they looked like a match made in heaven. The host discussed the issues between her and Stefan as the crowd cheered for them. Renee's sharp gaze swept through the crowd as she tried to find the problem. However, everyone seemed normal, and no one appeared suspicious. 'Did I mishear it? Or is that a prank?' she thought to herself. At this moment, she heard the host say, "Let us congratulate Mr. Hunt for successfully auctioning off the ring for fifteen million dollars, and we will have our presenter hand the ring to him." Stefan was gracefully presented with the display box containing the diamond ring by the tall and stunning presenter in a white gown. "Let's have Mr. Hunt put the diamond ring on his wife's finger again. We are all here gathered around to witness the consistent and beautiful love between Mr. and Mrs. Hunt!" The host had unexpectedly become a wedding host, as it seemed he was hosting Stefan and Re
When Stefan woke up, he realized he was lying on the hospital bed. The nurse came in and was glad to see him awake. "Mr. Hunt, you're finally awake. You've been in a coma for an entire day." "An entire day?" 'Shit!' he cursed inwardly. His blood phobia was getting so serious that he kept fainting at critical times. The last thing he remembered before blacking out was Renee getting shot. At the thought of this, his heart tightened. He grabbed the nurse's arm and asked coldly, "How's Renee? Is she okay?" Stefan's sudden movement caught the nurse off guard. "You mean Mrs. Hunt? She only needed a slight patching up. She left after bringing you here yesterday," she said cautiously. "A slight patching up?" When he heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her injuries weren't as serious as he had imagined them to be. "Yes. after she was done, she left with Mr. Osborne," the nurse added. "She left with Liam?!" When Stefan heard this, he instantly asked to c
"Stefan, put me down. We're not that close with each other!" Renee said as she struggled to break free from the man.She was embarrassed that she couldn't beat him despite her skills and reputation."Stop moving. You're hurt." Stefan shot back with a poker face as he carried her to the bathroom.She was as light as a feather, which stirred a huge urge in him to protect her.Renee was a little speechless. Her arm was only slightly injured. It wasn't like she had broken her leg or waist that she couldn't care for herself. She became worried when she saw that he had not intended to leave after he had placed her inside the bathtub."Stefan, you're not really going to shower me, right? I'm warning you, don't you dare take advantage of me!"A sly smile appeared on the man's face after he had placed her inside the bathtub. His slender finger hooked underneath her chin, and he asked, "What if I want to? After all, the bathtub is huge. It has enough space for two people.""No!" Renee shouted wi
"What happened?" Stefan called out as he hung up the phone and went straight to the bathroom door. Just as he was about to open the door, he heard Renee's panicked voice coming from inside, "I'm fine. Don't come in!" And a series of loud banging sounds followed afterward. It doesn't seem like she was fine. After moments of hesitation, he pushed the door and entered. "Ah! Who told you to come in? Get out!" Renee was standing up in the bathtub. She quickly wrapped a towel around her naked body when she saw that he had entered. Although her movements were quick, he still saw her body. He froze in place and swallowed harshly, feeling his lips turn dry. He hadn't known that she was so stunning! He wondered why it had taken him so long to realize that he had been living with a hidden treasure for the previous four years. After a while, he finally calmed down. Only then did he realize that the clothes on the rack had fallen, which meant Renee's clothes and towel had dropp
It was already late at night when Stefan and Renee finished changing their clothes. She lay on the bed, losing all patience as she gazed at the handsome man sitting on the couch in blue pajamas. "I only have a slight injury on my arm. You don't have to stay here and look after me all the time. You should return to your house, and we should keep our distance like before." "You got hurt saving me, so I'm responsible for it," Stefan calmly replied as he folded the magazine he had been reading. He coldly gazed at her and asked with seriousness, "Do you need me to tuck you in bed?" "That's not necessary!" Renee said, immediately crossing her arms and turning to the other side of the bed. She reasoned that if he persisted in guarding her, she should leave him to his own devices since she was sleeping comfortably on the bed and not the one suffering on the sofa! The orange light from the table lamp illuminated the room. A calm silence filled the room as time passed, and the only s
The following day, the sun shone brightly. Elijah immediately sent Stefan all the pieces of information he had on Renee. After reading it, Stefan was shocked, and he had a new perception of her. They had been married for four years and were about to get a divorce, and only now did he find out that his wife was the infamous genius that graduated from BC University. She skipped two grades in high school and entered BC University without needing to take the exam. She studied Electronic Communications and Technology, majoring in Electromagnetic Field and Electromagnetic Wave Direction. She became the lecturer's assistant in her second year, and whenever she was in class, it would be full of students. During her second year of postgraduate, she went to Asken as an exchange student and continued to have exceptional grades. However, everything changed when she was in her final year. The Everheart family faced insolvency and declared bankruptcy. Her parents committed suicide because
