"Me?"

Renee furrowed her brows, unable to figure out Julian's plan.

Renee was just a stranger to Stefan and had nothing to do with the Hunt family. How could Julian ask her for help? Julian must be overestimating her kindness.

Julian continued with a grave expression. "Six months ago, I stepped down as Chief R&D Officer at KCL Holdings and sold some of my shares. KCL Holdings has changed ownership now. I heard that the new chairman is also from a technical background but is more business-minded than me. He's going to carry out a radical reform of the whole group, from all levels of staff, internal management, and external partners. I'm no longer as influential after stepping down from my position…"

Renee arched her brow and said nonchalantly, "A business is like a kingdom. Changes are inevitable, even for a prosperous kingdom. So what exactly are you trying to convey?"

"I'm a free spirit. I love freedom and don't want to be involved in these business disputes. I don't care about

    "Nothing. It's finally over between Xavier and me," Leia said gloomily after curling up on the couch.Renee walked over and thoughtfully handed Leia a glass of warm water. She then sat down beside Leia. "Weren't you two doing just fine? How did things take such a sharp turn all of a sudden?""That was just an illusion."Leia took the water and sipped silently. She still looked gloomy.Although she was clear-headed now and had made up her mind to break up with Xavier, the thought of it still made her stomach turn.Heartbreak, after all, was like catching a bad cold. The process was bound to be unpleasant, but eventually, one's immune system would get them through it.What Leia needed right now was to clench her jaw and endure the most painful stage. Once she got past it, she would truly be free."You still can't let go, can you? In that case, why not try a different solution?" Renee asked carefully."A different solution?" Leia turned to look at Renee curiously."If breaking up

    "Uh, I didn't see anything. Please continue!"Renee covered her eyes and backed into the bedroom.Only then did Xavier let go of Leia. He looked a little embarrassed. "Why is she here, too? You could've told me.""I would have, if you gave me the chance," Leia replied with a frown.She was getting worked up a little, but she forced herself to stay calm.After all this time with Xavier, and even when he had professed his love countless times, she still felt that his feelings for her weren't the same as for Renee or Shirley.One was natural affection, while the other was just out of convenience.The more she thought about it, the more she realized that staying apart was the wisest choice. It would at least stop the emotional drain."I'm not joking. I really chose to break up with you, and I want you to take it seriously. Respect me. Don't make me hate you," Leia said firmly after taking a deep breath."Are you sure?" Xavier's expression returned to normal, but his gaze turned sl

    "Cut it out. I'm not your girlfriend. Please respect my boundaries!"This time, Leia's tone was calm. It was cool, distant, and unmistakably firm.For her, some things could be said in jest and taken back the next day, but others were spoken only after serious thought. For the latter, once she said them, they were final."I'm going back to sleep. Please leave."She finished speaking and moved to close the door.Xavier shamelessly stretched out his arm and braced it against the door. "Come on, don't be so cold. Even if you're not my girlfriend, we're still friends, right? And even if we broke up, I still have the right to pursue you. Let me come in and sit for a bit. At least have breakfast before you go back to sleep. How about that?"Leia hesitated for a second when she saw how sincere he looked.That single second was all Xavier needed. He seized the moment and slipped right past her."Hey! What do you think you're doing? I didn't say you could come in. Get out!" Leia shout

    Xavier froze for a moment. There was a lot he wanted to say, but he didn't know where to start.From an outsider's perspective, he and Leia seemed perfect for each other, but only he truly understood the problems between them.Regardless of what happened, he knew he had to try to fight for this relationship."Whether she's right for me, I'll decide for myself. I'll figure out our problems. I'm not like you, hiding behind the idea of true love because you’re too afraid to act!"After saying all that, Xavier stormed off. He was still seething.He didn't even know what exactly he was angry about. Maybe, deep down, he had projected too much of his own feelings onto Stefan and Renee, seeing in their relationship a mirror of what his future with Leia might look like.They were happy and complete, and that gave him hope that he could be happy too.However, every relationship was unique. He couldn't compare his feelings or project them onto someone else. He had to fight for his own rela

    Stefan listened to Xavier in silence for a long moment before finally speaking. "Let things take their course. If fate wants us together, then we'll be together. If fate wants us apart, I'll accept it willingly."At first, when Stefan learned about the long-buried grudges between the two families, he felt hopeless and pessimistic. All he wanted was to cut ties with Renee, thinking it was the best way to protect her.He told himself he was a ruthless man. He thought he could make hard choices and sever emotional attachments for the greater good.But the moment he realized he could lose Renee, fear hit him. When he heard that Renee was going to marry Justin, the pain nearly killed him, but he forced himself to suppress the urge to steal her back.It wasn't until later, when Jovan went through with that wedding heist for him, that Stefan realized he wasn't nearly as detached as he'd thought. He simply couldn't let Renee leave his world completely.After struggling with it for so lo

    "I don't think you realize how serious it is. She's not going to stand here and look at you forever. She's going to change."Xavier grew agitated. He punched the table and said indignantly, "She's a human being with individual thoughts and feelings. She'll feel pain and be sad. You keep turning her down. It's repetitive torture. Even if she won't go, her patience will one day be depleted. She won't keep loving you!"The previous conversation with Renee made Xavier realize how desperate and disappointed Renee was. Renee persuaded him not to lose Leia. Of course, she was trying to persuade Stefan not to lose her. However, Renee did not dare to say that to Stefan face-to-face out of her dignity as a woman. As Stefan's best friend, Xavier felt it necessary to help Renee transmit the message. "You're not clear about our situation. So, I have nothing better to say. It's fine even if she's changed. I sincerely hope that she can change," Stefan said, heartbroken. "Why can't you make
