Everyone in the room froze!No one expected that Renee, who looked gentle and docile, would have this side to her."My husband is such a perfect man. Let's see who's blind enough to dump him!" When she said this, she wrapped her arms around Stefan's affectionately, expressing her desire to defend her husband.But of course, it was mere pretense. Regardless, out of curiosity, she wanted to confirm if her guess was correct.Sure enough, the elegant lady sitting on the couch lowered her head sheepishly.Christopher's expression was also somewhat stiff.Xavier seemed to care a lot about the woman and immediately retorted surly, "It doesn't matter who dumped him. Since she’s Stefan's first love, she must be a hundred times more perfect than you in every way! It is important to know one's weaknesses. You and Stefan are not even from the same world and you can't see eye to eye. Why did you still marry him, knowing that? You're doing him and yourself a disservice!"Christopher's sof
"Hah, you'll be shocked when you find out!"Xavier said proudly, "Do you know Petersville University? Cecy studied astrophysics there, their most difficult subject. When she presented her research paper, she was even awarded the first prize in the Starburst Competition!""Wow, you're really an outstanding student, Cecy!"The crowd cast adoring glances at Cecilia. It was not that their reaction was exaggerated, but in fact, it was because it was very rare for those who were born with a silver spoon to excel in academics, so an astrophysics top student was a feat to them.Cecilia smiled lightly and said softly, "It's not that I am good, it's just that I happened to pick the topic that the judges liked.""Don't be so humble. You should just admit it if you are good!"Xavier put his hands into his pockets and looked at Renee pompously, and asked, "Do you know what astrophysics is? I guess a housewife like you, who never leaves the house without her husband, must have never heard of i
"Why would I not dare to?"Although Renee did not know what trick he was pulling this time, she did not chicken out and took out her cell phone confidently.Perhaps she wanted to compete with Cecilia deep down.After all, Cecilia was Stefan's first love whom he could not get over, so she was curious about what was so memorable about this woman. "Did you download Apex Heroes on your phone?"When Xavier said this, he cast an even more adoring gaze at Cecilia and said, "Cecy is not only a top student, but she was also an advanced game player. Apex Heroes is the most popular game worldwide and she is the third-best player in Aeos!"Renee smiled and said calmly, "Is she really that good? Then let’s stop wasting time and play a match.""You even know how to play games?"Xavier was a little surprised.It seemed like this demure wife was not as boring as he had thought!Anyway, he guessed that she would only be a rookie who would never beat his Cecy.After losing the battle just no
"How... do you want me to make you feel better?"Renee asked earnestly, her back pressed tightly against the seat, her eyes innocent and clear.Honestly, she didn't know how to feel.She should have felt elated and vindicated to see the man in this predicament. Yet, seeing how sad he was, she felt a little bad.'The best way to forget someone is with time and a new love. I have plenty of time. But a new love...'Stefan stared at her intensely. He lifted her chin slightly with his long finger and said in a low voice, "Everyone said that you're a better version of Cecilia. How about you become her substitute for a few minutes and give me a comforting kiss?"He closed his eyes. His pronounced facial features were perfect, as if they were sculpted. His thin lips slowly moved closer to Renee.No woman could refuse such a handsome face.The old Renee would have fallen for it too...But now, her mind was crystal clear. Her fists tightened.‘You want me to be a substitute?!‘In yo
Stefan noticed her discomfort and asked, "What's wrong?""Nothing, just a little cramp because I crouched down for too long."Renee endured the discomfort and returned to the passenger seat.She must be careful not to let Stefan find out about her pregnancy.Upon returning home, Renee could not endure it anymore. She immediately lay down on the sofa and did not dare to move.She took out her phone and called Liam. "Come here and take me to the hospital right now!"Liam drove Renee to the nearby hospital in his super expensive sports car as fast as he could.After a series of examinations, Renee was placed on a hospital bed to wait for the examination results.Liam paced back and forth restlessly. He was so confused.Why was Renee in the obstetrics department?He finally received the answer when the examination results came out. He was petrified."What the hell... six weeks pregnant?"The doctor pushed his glasses and told Renee and Liam, "What were you guys doing? You’re pa
After a few days of rest, Renee's body completely recovered.She brought the law firm share transfer contract to Hunt Enteprise to get Stefan to sign it.Hunt Enteprise had a serious atmosphere today. A security cordon had been set up outside the building. Supposedly, an important person was visiting the company with guests. Many reporters had heard the news and were waiting outside.Renee was stopped outside the cordon. She had to wait until the visit was over before she could enter the building.She saw Stefan in the distance. He was in a black suit. He was standing in the center of the building, gracefully and calmly taking a group photo with the visitors.Stefan's handsome face and cold eyes gave him a naturally regal air. He was always extremely attractive.Suddenly, a commotion rose in the crowd."Let me in! Don't you know who I am?"A man was struggling to break through the cordon to get to Stefan.Elon Barnes!Renee's brows furrowed and her fists tightened.Elon, lik
Stefan's strong presence caused Elon to shrink back a little.However, with so many cameras aiming at them, he did not think Stefan would dare do anything funny!"What else could I want, my nephew-in-law?"Elon cleared his throat and said loudly, "My niece has been your wife for many years. She has always been a responsible wife. Now that you want to dump her, all you're giving her is a stupid law firm? How is she supposed to live from now on? Considering how rich the Hunts are, surely you don't have to be so heartless?” His words caused an uproar in the crowd. The reporters frantically pressed their shutters."My niece is shy and timid, so she begged me the whole night to help her fight for what she deserves..."I'll keep it simple. Give us $7 million, and we promise to disappear from your life completely!"Elon could hardly wait to extort Stefan."Elon Barnes, shut the hell up!" Renee said through clenched teeth.His words had dragged her reputation through the mud. She wis
Haze looked at Renee casually with his hands in his pockets and said pointedly, "What a coincidence. You're here too, Mrs. CEO's wife. A wonderful show is about to begin. Why don't you stay for the show, seeing that you're one of the main protagonists?”Renee was not stupid. She naturally heard the hidden meaning in Haze's words.It looked like his threat to expose her as Phoenix if she refused to work with him was not just an empty threat, but a real one!Before Stefan transferred the law firm's shares to her, her identity as Phoenix must remain a secret!"The famous Haze! I've long been an admirer of your skills. Could I perhaps have a quiet word with you?"Although it looked doomed, Renee was unwilling to give up. She decided attempt a desperate Hail Mary.You never know, Haze might take mercy on her plight and give her a chance."Of course."Haze's long, narrow eyes shined with a glint of cunningness as he said with a smile, "Since the CEO's wife personally requests it, who
