Renee became even more irritated. She roared at the reporters and influencers, "I already said I'm in a hurry. Are you all deaf? Get out of my way or I'll beat you up!”The reporters and influencers who were blocked outside the venue were all nobodies. They were an unscrupulous bunch who would do anything to get views. When they saw Renee lose her temper, they got even more excited. They kept testing her patience, hoping that she would lose control.Renee was surrounded. She couldn't move a single step. She clenched her fists and was ready to start beating people up.A Maybach slowly pulled up. A handsome man in a suit got out of the car, escorted by security guards.“Why are you guys bullying a weak woman like her? Come at me instead!”The man who spoke was none other than Jovan, the protagonist of today's press conference.“It's Jovan Hunt, the rising star in the business world!”“He's rumored to take over the Hunt Enterprise, which means he's about to replace Stefan Hunt as t
“Rumor has it that the two of them were in love first. It was Stefan who stole Renee away from Jovan. And now, Jovan Hunt has returned to take back his lover.”“In that case, maybe those two were involved in Stefan's death... Tsk tsk, wealthy families are so scary!”Renee could not be bothered by their speculation. She walked straight into the hotel lobby.The hotel decoration was grand and magnificent.There was a podium adorned with the Hunt Enterprise's logo. Various microphones with logos of television stations from around the world were placed on the podium. Reporters sat in chairs below the stage, while senior executives of Hunt Enterprise sat on the stage.Renee was not considered a senior executive of Hunt Enterprise, so she kept a low profile and chose a seat in the last row.The same could not be said for Jovan. As soon as he entered, he was the center of attention. He received a warm welcome from the audience.In addition to reporters, there were also representatives
“I was wondering who the person that has been constantly sniffing for my traces over the years was! That IP was like a virus. I intercepted it time and time again. So it was you... my savior.”Renee's red lips curled into a smile as she looked at her old friend.Who knew that there was still an old friend in the vast Beach City who still cared about her. She was touched.“You call me your savior, but you hid from me for four years, making me worry about you for four years. Is your heart made of stone?”Seeing the woman who had become more charming, more attractive, and more elusive than before, Xavier's emotions were complicated.After all, this was the woman who once made his heart race and the woman he risked his life to save. Even if it was impossible between them, she still held an important spot in his heart.Rather than saying that he and Stefan had searched almost every corner of the world for Renee all these years, it would be more appropriate to call it his personal obse
“A weak woman?”That made Renee laugh. "They should pray that they don't lose all their teeth when they try to eat me alive!”“Nice. Your courage is commendable. I'll give you a round of applause.”Looking at the confident Renee, Xavier almost overflowed with admiration.“To be honest with you, the only person I'm afraid of in the entire Beach City is Stefan Hunt. But now that Stefan is gone, those old fools are destined for defeat now that Stefan is gone.”She knew her words were very arrogant, but it was not without reason.“That means you're hoping that Stef's dead for real. Tsk tsk... Poor Stef. He's so sincere to you, but you want him dead.”“Sincere?”Renee snorted. "How could you utter a blatant lie like that? Stefan's sincere to me? Would you want that kind of sincerity?”“I know you have a lot of resentment in your heart, but Stef has his own difficulties too. There are some misunderstandings between you which have been brewing inside you for four years. Neither of yo
It caused a huge uproar. The cameras flashed non-stop. The major drama that everyone was eagerly anticipating had arrived surprisingly quickly.Renee and Xavier also stopped chatting to focus on the stage.Jovan did not panic. His thin lips curled into a smile as he bowed and gestured an invitation to Alexander. "You're right, Uncle Alexander. Although you only have shares but no real power in Hunt Enterprise now, you still have the highest status outside Grandpa's generation in the Hunts. Since you're here, of course you should take this seat instead.”Alexander had no intention of putting on an act with Jovan. He accused Jovan in front of all the reporters. "Do you think I'm only referring to that seat? You did so many dirty things while the Hunt Enterprise was in chaos. In ancient times, you would be like a thief usurping the throne. It's a crime punishable by execution!”“Your words are too extreme, Uncle Alexander. After Stefan met with an accident, Hunt Enterprise became lead
“That's not it!” Renee denied it coldly. "That's just my moral principle. It has nothing to do with him.”The press conference continued under the supervision of the staff.A representative from Hunt Enterprise's PR Department showcased to the media the company's ongoing projects, financial power, and organizational structure.Finally, the PR representative enthusiastically told the media, "Hunt Enterprise is about to embark on a new journey. Let's welcome Mr. Jovan Hunt, the new CEO jointly selected by the board of directors and the major shareholders of Hunt Enterprise, to give us a speech.”The venue suddenly erupted with enthusiastic applause. The atmosphere was even more enthusiastic than when Stefan held a press conference in the past. It was heartbreaking to watch.Jovan spoke eloquently in front of the media.“Hunt Enterprise is currently facing an unprecedented crisis. For the future of Hunt Enterprise and the entire Beach City, I took on the responsibility of CEO at the
Everyone looked toward the direction the sound came from, including Renee.She saw Stefan's tall figure casually walking into the venue like a deity.Originally, Jovan was the center of attention, but as soon as Stefan appeared, he immediately became the side character, like a piece of glass compared to Stefan's diamond.The place exploded. The atmosphere, which had reached a climax before this, became even more intense. The sounds of shutters and flashes were deafening.“N-No way! Stefan Hunt?! But you're already...”Jovan went pale, like he had just seen a ghost. He slumped down in his chair, devoid of his earlier energy and enthusiasm.Stefan's gaze at Jovan was as cold and sharp as a dagger. He said, "You seem disappointed, Vice-CEO.”The senior executives and shareholders sitting to the sides showed various reactions. Some were happy, while some were not.Those who supported Jovan had their backs pressed against their seats. They sweated profusely and found it hard to brea
Stefan sat there like a king, dazzling and charming the people around him. Clearly, the man was a born leader—nobody could take their eyes off him. Even the reporters from popular media companies who were initially only interested in getting their hands on sensational news were now so captivated by Stefan's charisma that they forgot to take notes.Sitting amidst hundreds of other guests in the audience, Renee's icy gaze was locked on the man on the stage. Her fists were clenched so tightly that her fingernails dug deep into her flesh.So, Stefan had been alive all this time… and had now returned more powerful and arrogant than ever! It was truly a pity that she'd spent all that time grieving and shedding tears for him. It was all for nothing! Renee felt like laughing at how foolish she had been.Xavier crossed his legs, looking as if he knew all along that this would happen."I can't believe Stef actually went through with his outrageous plan!" He exclaimed with a grin. "But I've g
