Renee sat on the toilet in the restroom, so enraged that she drew a pentagram on the floor with the tip of her shoe, viciously cursing Stefan."Damn you to hell, Stefan Hunt! You wanted to die so much that you even got yourself a grave, huh? Well, then… I hope you choke to death when you drink water or when you swallow your food! I hope you get struck by lightning when you're on your phone or fall down a hole and die while you're walking…"Suddenly, she heard the voices of women coming from the nearby stalls."Ah, no imitation can beat the real thing… Jovan might be cute, but he's nothing compared to Stefan! They're as different as day and night. Oh, can Stefan be any more perfect? If only I could marry him one day!""Stop daydreaming—he's already found his true love! If you think you'll actually get a turn to be with him, you should get your head checked…""True love? You mean his ex-wife?""No, dummy! It's the woman Mr. Hunt has been protecting for four years—Briar Desrosiers!
There were a few men inside the men's restroom standing at the urinals, doing their business without a care in the world. When Renee stormed in, they were shocked and hastily covered their private areas with their hands."You…" One of them sputtered indignantly, his face red in embarrassment."What are you looking at?" Renee shouted at the men, holding her head high. "Have you never seen a woman in the men's restroom before? If you can't deal with it, then get out!"The men in there were all respectable gentlemen, and they had probably never encountered such a tough and intimidating woman before. Instantly, they hurriedly zipped up and ran out.In a few seconds, the restroom was empty, except for the lone figure at the innermost urinal—Stefan Hunt. He stood straight and tall, like a cold and flawless marble statue. He managed to exude an air of superiority and unattainable perfection even as he stood in front of a urinal.He had not yet done his business before Renee barged in, so
In a desperate attempt to stop her from walking away, Stefan stretched his leg out to block her path and grabbed her tiny shoulders with both of his hands."Don't you have anything to tell me?" He asked meaningfully."Is this a joke? What would I have to tell you?" She glared at the big hands on her shoulders and warned him in an icy tone, "Let me go!"Stefan gazed into Renee's eyes as he asked her, "I hid the truth from you because the situation forced me to, but what about you? Don't tell me you're not hiding anything from me!""What…" Renee was starting to feel unsettled. "What are you talking about?""You know what I'm talking about… In your eyes, I'm the stupid one, aren't I? You hid in a corner where I couldn't see you, and you laughed at me for years, didn't you?"Stefan's grip on Renee's shoulders unconsciously tightened, and his calm expression now gave way to a mixture of anger, pain, and helplessness… as if he was powerless against the woman in front of him!Renee was
Trepidation was written all over Renee's face. She was full of guilt, but she raised her fist and said threateningly, "Go on and speak if you dare, Jovan!""Ignore her," Stefan coldly stated. "Tell me everything you know."Jovan smiled wickedly, then began in a meaningful tone, "If I'm not mistaken, your marriage to Renee lasted for about four years. In our current society, that's not a short marriage at all. Do you think you know her well? Do you know what her real personality is like?"Stefan's expression turned ugly, and he said in a dangerously icy tone, "What exactly are you trying to say? Stop beating around the bush—I don't have time to chat with you.""Answer my questions then. Do you understand her? What kind of a person is she in your eyes? Once I've got your answers, I'll tell you the shocking secret that she's been hiding from you…"Jovan's words aggravated both Stefan and Renee, but in order to satisfy his curiosity, Stefan forced himself to keep calm and answered the
Renee was so angry that she punched Jovan in the back twice. She did it so naturally that it was like they knew each other for a long time—there was no awkwardness between them at all.Stefan's expression twisted even more, and he subconsciously clenched his fists."You see, Stefan… this is Renee's real personality. She's not dignified or gentle like you said, nor is she elegant or prim and proper. The real Renee Everheart has a violent temper, and she beats people up when she's displeased with them. She always beats me up when she sees me; she's basically a tigress! I bet you've never seen this side of her, have you?"Although he'd just gotten punched, Jovan could not be happier. In fact, he even looked proud as he crowed triumphantly, "You were married to her for so many years, but I bet she's never punched you, has she? That's too bad… Research shows that when a woman is relaxed enough to show her real self to a man, she is more likely to love the man with all her heart and spend
With that, only Renee and Jovan were left standing in the men's restroom awkwardlyLike a villain who had succeeded in bringing his evil plan to fruition, a sinister yet childish smile cropped up on Jovan's face. He told Renee, "You see? You clearly made the right choice in leaving your ex-husband because all he ever wanted was a tool to perfect his image. He was never interested in you, he never understood you, and he never even wanted to understand you. What a failure.""Why, thank you for the enlightenment, Jovan!" Renee could not help but roll her eyes as she pointedly sneered, "If you have that much spare time, why don't you worry about yourself instead? How stupid can you be? You've been played like a fiddle and wiped out from your position, yet you're still here bragging like an idiot!"Jovan wasn't angered by her words, and instead approached Renee with a cheeky smile. "So, you're worried about me, huh?"Renee let out a frustrated snarl and kicked Jovan in the butt before r
"I'm going to hang up now," Renee told Leia with a sigh. "It's time to pick up the kids."She then ended the call and headed straight to Monte Perry Kindergarten.The streets in front of the kindergarten were always full of cars and crowded with people. All kinds of luxury cars were lined up at the Monte Perry Kindergarten gates, making it look like some kind of car exhibition was going on.After a while, Renee finally found a parking spot. She parked her car and was about to get out when Margaret suddenly called her."Hello?" Margaret's voice was shaky with panic. "Ms. Renee, are you here yet? Come quickly! Something… something happened!""What happened?" Renee asked quickly, then said to Margaret soothingly, "Don't panic… Speak slowly.""I'm useless, Ms. Renee! I deserve to die a thousand deaths! I was about to pick up the kids just now, but the teacher told me that… that…" Margaret sounded as if she was about to burst into tears."The teacher told me," she continued anxiously
Ms. Apple looked somewhat conflicted. Her eyes darted around before she cryptically answered, "Please don't worry, Ms. Everheart. The twins are definitely fine, and I'm sure they'll be home in no time. As for the person who took them away… Please forgive me, but I really can't tell you anything about him."Hearing this, Renee dug her nails into her palms and forced herself to remain calm as she said with a sneer, "This man really is powerful, isn't he? He's so powerful that he can easily kidnap other people's kids in public, and even their own mother doesn't have the right to know about it.""He is indeed very powerful. In fact, only a handful of people in the whole of Beach City would dare to go up against him, so…" Ms. Apple paused for a few seconds, then told Renee in a lowered voice, "The twins both called him Daddy without hesitation and were very friendly with him, and the man himself… is connected to the Hunts.""Connected to the Hunts, huh?" Renee frowned slightly as she tho
