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
Renee took a deep breath and walked into Stefan's office.Comment by Felicia C: insert 2 hashtag before first paraStefan's slender body stood in front of the bright french window. His broad shoulders and long legs gave him a dashing appearance.However, the chilly air emanating from his entire body lowered the temperature in the office to a freezing point.It appeared the big iceberg knew everything now.However, Renee did not panic. She calmly took out the share transfer contract and said to his back as if nothing had happened, "Mr. Hunt, if you're free right now, please sign this. We should split up the assets cleanly now so that the divorce can proceed without a hitch.”Stefan turned around. The sun added a bit of warmth to his cold, handsome face, making him look even more charming."Why are you in such a hurry to get the divorce? Don't you think you should explain yourself first?""Explain myself?"Renee's expression was calm. She had nothing to lose anymore. “There's no
"What papers?"Renee felt like a fish that could breathe again. She was finally able to think normally. Her bright eyes were focused."Didn't you want me to sign the share transfer contract? Give me the papers before I change my mind!"Stefan's words were cold and proud.He actually agreed?!Renee could not believe it. She quickly handed him the contract and a pen in a respectful manner."If you would, Mr. Hunt!"She did not even dare to breathe too loudly during the process lest the temperamental man went back on his word due to a perceived slight! Stefan signed the contract with a cold face and then said without any emotion, "You better not advertise the content of our divorce agreement to the public. If you want anything, just tell it to me straight. There's no need to play dirty."His words struck her like ice cones, cold and painful.Renee froze.She thought the reason he signed the share transfer contract so readily was because he did not believe any of Elon's nonsens
The man's clothes were plain and he was wearing a face mask. He was patiently wiping the leaves of a plant on the desk, making sure each leaf was spotless clean.Hearing Renee's voice, he gently raised his eyes and looked over curiously. "The new boss of Hunts & Co., I presume? The poor woman about to be abandoned by Stefan Hunt?"Renee felt a little awkward. She cleared her throat softly and said, "The second part was unnecessary."The man put down the spray bottle and took off his mask. His middle-age face looked kind and gentle, exactly as the information said.From the information Liam sent her, Renee knew that the Hunts & Co.had three partners—two men and a woman—and this man, John Wayne, was one of them.Among the three partners, John was the oldest and the most experienced. He looked like he would be easy to get along with, but he was actually the most cunning one.John said, "I'm curious. We haven't met before and I'm dressed like this, so how did you recognize me?""It'
Three days passed.The Sporadic Star Bar was a relatively famous bar in Beach City. It was an elegant and artistic-looking two-story establishment.Xavier and Christopher were currently sitting in the VIP area on the second floor. Not only did it have a great view, it also provided a certain level of privacy.The two already had a few drinks, but Stefan, who had agreed to meet them here, was still nowhere to be found."What's up with Stefan? This is the first time in four years us Golden Trio are meeting up with just the three of us. He wouldn't stand us up, would he?"Xavier was holding a glass of wine with a slightly anxious expression. He kept looking towards the entrance."I asked to see him today because I have something important to talk to him about. If I don't take care of this, my father will surely break my leg when I go home tonight!"Christopher, being the oldest in the Golden Trio, was as calm as ever. He said unhurriedly, "Bro, calm down. You know how Stef is. If h
Stefan frowned slightly after a hint of surprise flashed across his cold face.What have Renee done? Why was Zack willing to pour drinks for her?Three years ago, when Hunt Enterprise acquired the Hunts & Co., Zack left a deep impression on Stefan due to his arrogance and lack of respect.However, because Zack's professional capabilities were so outstanding—he would easily help Hunt Enterprise solve all kinds of legal issues—Stefan simply let him be.All these years, Stefan had always left the Hunts & Co. alone. He did not care how much money they made as long as they could be useful in crucial moments.But those lawyers simply turned the law firm into a “retirement home”. Not only did the law firm not make money, it was losing money every year!Renee actually gave up $40 million dollars and a luxury house in exchange for this law firm. In Stefan's opinion, it was so not worth it.He was sure that there was no way Renee could deal with the difficult people in the law firm, consi
The two men went downstairs. Because of their good looks, they attracted a lot of attention.Unfortunately, Renee's group was too immersed in their drinking game to notice.Therefore, the two young noblemen were... completely ignored!Xavier was used to being the center of attention everywhere he went and had never experienced such a cold reception before. Moreover, he was feeling mad on Stefan's behalf, so the words that came out of his mouth were very arrogant. "Look how excited they are over a stupid drinking game. So childish."Only then did the group notice them. The atmosphere that had been merry a second before rapidly dropped to a freezing point.Stefan's eyes met with Renee's. An invisible tug-of-war began.Although neither of them spoke, the others could clearly sense the fireworks that were going off between them. They could tell a silent battle was raging.The new boss versus the old boss. The lawyers were in a tough spot.They immediately made the decision to step
