Then, he turned around and walked away just like that!“???”Renee's mind was filled with question marks.That guy was so shameless. Shouldn't he ask for her opinion first?Stefan walked back to his sports car. Before getting in, he stopped, turned around, and asked Shelley, "Can you drive?”“Of course. What do you want me to do, Mr. Hunt?”“Take her car back.”After giving Shelley the command, Stefan turned to Renee and said, "We'll go in my car.”“Yes, Mr. Hunt. What a reasonable arrangement. I wish you two a pleasant meal!”Shelley could read the mood. She quickly drove away in Renee's car while Renee stared at her speechlessly.“Get in.”Stefan was very satisfied with Shelley's cleverness. With a hint of a smile on his lips, he called out to Renee, who was frozen in place.Renee was seething. She started to suspect that the assistant she had carefully selected might have been a spy Stefan planted near her.“If you don't get in, I'll drive away without you.”Stefan was
Renee felt that, sometimes, Stefan was pretty crazy himself, and he's someone who had seen a lot of stuff.If even he thought that Rubio was crazy, then Rubio must be really, really crazy. Her understanding of Rubio may not have been comprehensive enough. She may have heard only a small part of the rumors.Stefan snorted and said, "Do you know why Rubio is already 48 years old but still looks so young and healthy?”“Maybe he's just born with good genes. Maybe he works out a lot. You can't accuse him of being crazy just because he looks young. You young people from prestigious families get jealous so easily...”“You know nothing!”Stefan was so angry at Renee's accusation that he decided not to be subtle anymore. He told her bluntly, "It's because he likes to take nourishment from girls under 18 years old to absorb their vitality!”“I've heard of that rumor...”Renee flipped her hair and replied calmly, "All men have desires. Some like lolis, and some like older women. Considerin
Renee could not stop Stefan from talking nonsense, so she could only cover her ears with both hands.The scenery outside the car gradually changed from a beautiful suburban environment to a bustling city center. They eventually arrived at a Western restaurant.“We're here,” Stefan said without any gentlemanly manner.Renee sulked in the passenger seat and refused to get out of the car. To be precise, she did not want to dine with Stefan.'There's a huge rift between us, and we dislike each other, but now we have to eat at the same table? Doesn't he feel awkward?'After taking a few steps, Stefan realized that Renee had not gotten off the car, so he returned to the car and looked down at her with a slightly puzzled expression. "Why are you still in the car? It's already so late. Aren't you hungry?”“I'm not hungry!”Renee continued to sulk, hoping that the man could read the mood.”Are you sure you're not hungry? “Stefan was amused.It was already 8 pm, so it was long past di
”Ahem!”Renee cleared her throat a few times and tried to cover up her embarrassment by drinking water.Stefan pretended not to hear anything. He elegantly spread a napkin on his legs, then wiped his hands with a hot towel. His movements were dignified and elegant.The waiter soon brought some exquisite dishes to their table, including braised beef in red sauce, braised cold shrimp with lime, caviar, prime sirloin steak, and a fruit salad.Renee's eyes were glued to the delicious food on the table. Not only did her stomach growl even harder, but she also could not help swallowing her saliva again.Stefan wordlessly carved a piece of steak and put it in his mouth. He chewed it slowly and then showed a regretful expression. "I consider myself a picky eater, but the quality of the steak here is really something else. Too bad you're not hungry, or you could have tried it.”Renee tried to shift her gaze to the outside of the window. She raised her chin high and said disdainfully, "It'
The red liquid ran along Stefan's hair and dripped down to his cheeks. Although he was in a mess, he still exuded a regal air.“Stef!”A woman's voice came from behind them.Seraphina was holding onto the hand of her best friend, Lina Hepburn, while staring at Stefan incredulously.After confirming that it really was him, she dashed over to Stefan with large, unladylike steps and wiped the wine from his head with a napkin.“My silly brother! What is going on? Why would someone as respectable as you let her splash wine on you in public? Look at you. Your hair and clothes are all wet. Oh, it pains me to see you like this!”As she wiped, she mumbled about how angry and upset she was, then turned angrily and admonished Renee, "Renee, you're in the wrong here. We're all civilized people, so there's no reason to act like this. Splashing wine on my bro's face is like splashing wine on my face. Even if he wouldn't pursue the matter, I would...”Seraphina disliked Renee. When she had to
“Aah! I'm so mad! I'm so mad! Stefan Hunt, you bastard! I hope you choke on that steak!”After Renee left the restaurant, she finally couldn't maintain her dignified demeanor anymore. She started cursing Stefan out.She never knew that he could be this shameless. After making her so mad that she almost had a stroke, he actually had the gall to sit back down and enjoy the food she paid for with Seraphina Murphy, who kept finding faults with her. What did he take her for? His credit card?!Renee hated how easily she let him affect her emotions even after all these years and even though she had maintained a clear mind... It made her feel useless and powerless.Stefan Hunt was the bane of her existence. Nothing good happened whenever she ran into him. She must stay as far away from him as possible from now on.Thinking of that, her emotions finally calmed down a bit.If she could not deal with him, she could just avoid him, right?She reached out for a taxi and returned to her apart
“The Rainbow Glaze?”“The Rainbow Glaze is exquisitely designed and made from glasses of seven different colors. Each side is carved with images of rare birds and beasts. It's a famous, auspicious treasure. In that chaotic era, it ensured the peace of Manchest for a hundred years. It is said that owning the “Rainbow Glaze” can lead to prosperity, long life, and fulfilled dreams. I've wanted it for a long time.”Renee continued to roll her eyes. She was exasperated. She asked, "You're not asking me to help you find this so-called ‘treasure’, are you?”“You're so smart, Ren. As expected of someone that I knew could be a great friend to me right away. You figured it out so quickly.”Renee was howling inside. She said through gritted teeth, "You're not doing this to toy with me, are you? Maybe this bottle is just folklore that doesn't exist. How am I supposed to find it for you?”“It's precisely because the task is difficult that it can prove your capability...”Rubio smiled and said
“You've found it already? Adie, you're so amazing!”Renee was delighted. She quickly got up from the sofa and moved over to the computer.“Look, Mommy!”Aiden pointed to the exquisitely shaped Rainbow Glaze on the computer screen. His chubby little face was proud as he said, “The latest information I've managed to trace shows that this item is currently stored at the Carmine Pawnshop. If you like it, just ask Q to give it to you. He said that everything he has is yours if you agree to be his wife anyway.”“That's... bizarre.”Renee's feelings were complicated. She did not know whether to feel happy or awkward.Why must this thing be in Mr. Q's possession? Now she did not know whether she should ask for it or not.If she did, it might make him think that she was after his assets.But if she did not, she would not be able to make a deal with Rubio Pascal. He only gave her one week...While Renee was stuck in a dilemma, the doorbell rang, and something even more bizarre happened.
