Hunt Villa was empty. The garden was deserted. The living room was not lit. The inside of the villa was pitch black. The air had a stale odor.The only light that was turned on was the one in Stefan's room on the second floor. A tall figure could be seen at the window.Renee walked into the living room and climbed the rotating staircase to the second floor.Stefan's door was slightly ajar, and through the crack in the door, she could see a man standing by the window.However, she could only see his back.The back figure was tall, straight, and cold. It must be Stefan!At that moment, Renee felt a passion that she had not felt for a long time.She rushed forward and pushed the door open. "Stefan! I knew you were still alive!”The man by the window slowly turned around. His thin lips curled into a smile as he stared at Renee with mischievous eyes. He shrugged and said, "My dear cousin-in-law, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not that man you're thinking about day and night.”
She did not want to cripple him and be pestered by him her whole life!“I knew it. You still care for me and can't bear to hurt me...”While swinging around his arm that almost got dislocated, Jovan continued to make fun of Renee, challenging the limit of Renee's patience without any fear of the consequences.Renee tried her best to calm herself down. "You're not actually trying to replace Stefan and take away everything that belonged to him, are you?”“Stefan is history now. Hunt Enterprise cannot remain leaderless forever. I'm doing Hunt Enterprise a huge favor by taking over the company right now. How can you call that taking away?”“Hmph, your plan won't go that smoothly. Even if Stefan is no longer here, Grandpa Timothy and Uncle Alexander are. They won't let you do whatever you want. You should just give up if you know what's good for you, or you might lead yourself into a desperate situation!”Renee had always felt that Hunt Enterprise would not easily have a change in dyn
Renee raised her eyebrows and feigned ignorance, "What exactly do you mean? I don't understand.”“Did I not make myself clear enough?”Jovan greedily took in the sensation of being so close to the goddess of his desire. His hand boldly slithered towards Renee's slender waist. His deep voice was cheeky, but carried a hint of seriousness too. "In ancient times, there was Helen of Troy, the face that launched a thousand ships. If I can have you, I would launch a thousand ships for you too.”Renee couldn't help but roll her eyes. “Get to the point!”“Simply put, if you become my woman, Hunt Enterprise is yours to do with as you please. If you want it to shut down, it'll shut down, and if you want it to keep operating, it'll keep operating.”There was a cold determination in Jovan's eyes.The whole world knew that he, Jovan Hunt, was just a carefree playboy. He had no interest at all in competing for power or building a business empire.The reason why he had been working so hard to r
Both of them were shocked to see each other.Renee had conflicting emotions regarding her former mother-in-law. On the one hand, Renee hated her, and on the other hand, Renee sympathized with her for having lost two sons in a row.But Francine also had conflicting emotions regarding her former daughter-in-law.From her initial dislike and disgust of Renee, to appreciation, and later on, to hatred—it was enough to write a novel that was millions of words in length!“Good evening, Madam Francine.”Renee swallowed awkwardly and greeted Francine, "Fancy... running into you here.”“Someone told me the light in my son's room was turned on so I rushed over to check, but turns out it's just you...”Francine's eyes were filled with both hatred and sadness, which gradually turned into gloom. She lowered her head and said, "Sure enough, there are no miracles in this world.”Renee was a mother too, so her chest tightened hearing that. She comforted Francine softly, "My condolences. Don't b
Upon seeing Renee's reaction, Francine's eyes brightened. She excitedly pulled Renee's hand and asked, "Did you think of something? Tell me, quick!”“I knew my son wouldn't die so easily. I knew he left clues for you!”Renee shook her head. Her helpless expression seemed sincere. "He didn't leave me any clues, but if even you, his mother, can't be sure if he's dead, then I'm even more uncertain... At least, so far, I've only learned about his death from other people.”“Since you've already chosen a grave for him, surely you must know where his corpse is?”Francine's bloodshot eyes were sad as she said, "Stefan's father said he had an accident and died in the hospital. Apparently, the way he died was horrible. His father was worried that I might not be able to take it if I saw him, so he was cremated overnight. We chose the grave together, but I still don't believe that he's dead. I think they must be planning something in secret, so I turned a blind eye and went along with their ac
But her mouth was still as vile as ever. She kept spouting various unpleasant words, challenging Jovan's patience.Fearing that something more serious was going to happen, Renee immediately stepped forward to stop them. "Jovan, let go of her. She's your aunt. This is disrespectful.”“Hmph, have you ever seen such a cruel aunt? If she doesn't respect me, why should I respect her?...”Jovan had no intention of letting Francine go. His eyes became increasingly cruel, as if they contained decades of accumulated anger. He looked like he was going to break Francine's hand!“This woman is the most arrogant and snobbish woman I've ever seen. In her eyes, everyone else except for her two precious sons is trash. Even though she humiliated me for years, I never thought of getting back at her, but she just had to insult my mother... I'm not venting my anger, I'm teaching her a lesson on my mother's behalf!”“Aah! My hand! You little bastard! You immediately start to retaliate the moment you g
Renee quickly left the villa, giving Jovan and Francine no chance to catch up to her.In her opinion, those two were just as bad as each other. When they get crazy, they were both pretty terrifying. She would leave them alone and keep her distance so that she wouldn't get hurt in the crossfire!Renee returned to the apartment. Her children were already sound asleep.Margaret was not asleep yet. She was organizing the items and materials needed for the two children's first day at school tomorrow.Renee was deeply touched when she saw Margaret still working this late at night.“Margaret, it's already so late. Don't overwork yourself. Go get some rest. I'll take care of it.”Margaret turned around and smiled kindly at Renee. "Ms. Ren, what are you saying? This is just simple work. You, on the other hand, have been working until now. You need to pay attention to your health and not overwork yourself. If you collapse, what will happen to the two children?”“Don't worry, Margaret. I k
“That may be true, but when you need a man, you need a man. For example, when I filled out the enrollment information just now, there was a column that asked for the name and occupation of the children's father. What are we supposed to write there?”The reason why Margaret started nagging Renee again was that she faced a dilemma when she filled out the enrollment information earlier.It made her realize that, be it Renee or the two children, they all needed a man in the house.“Just write “none”. There are plenty of people who lost their spouse or their father in this world, so why can't we be in that situation too?”Renee continued to paint, her mood not affected in the slightest.The moment she decided to divorce Stefan and leave Beach City for Sun Island, she had already anticipated these situations and had accepted them. She did not think it was a big deal.“We can't do that!” Margaret was a bit agitated. "Ms. Ren, you're too carefree. Nowadays, kindergarten teachers treat ch
