"Try it… if you're not afraid of becoming impotent!" Renee gritted her teeth and prepared to strike him where he was weak."Do you think I'm afraid of that?" Stefan, on the other hand, wasn't scared of her threats at all. He was calm, his eyes fixed on her crimson lips as he prepared to kiss her.“Don’t!” She closed her eyes, and rejection was written all over her face.The kiss she was expecting never came, and she slowly opened her eyes to find Stefan looking at her in disgust."Do you honestly believe I'm that perverted? You should know that I hate forcing others. You may leave now!" He stood up abruptly after speaking and didn't look at her again. Even though she had gained her freedom, Renee was suddenly hit with disappointment.She stood up and fixed her hair. She gazed at his icy back and wanted to say something before leaving, but she didn't."Ren, have you returned the item to him?"As she walked down the stairs, she noticed Timothy returning from the garden, held by
“What? You really told her that you want to reconcile?" Seraphina's expression immediately darkened.Stefan's confirmation stung the most. “Yes.”"However, it's in the past," he said honestly. "I'm not that dumb anymore."He then strolled down the steps with no emotion on his face. He didn't even glance her way as he went by.Renee remained locked in place, her cheeks flushed.She hadn't expected Stefan to hear her pompous statements earlier—she just wanted to annoy Seraphina. She herself thought it was immature to flaunt the attention she got from a guy in order to feel good about herself.She realized she had grown into the kind of person she despised.Seraphina was overjoyed, and she grinned widely. She embraced Stefan as if they were the closest friends and stood close to him. "That sounds more like it. If you turn into a simp, I'll be the first to judge you. You are Stefan Hunt, the most wealthy guy in Beach City. Do you realize how important that title is to you?"Stefan
Renee's question made Seraphina and Timothy curious. They stared at Stefan and waited for his answer.His face was emotionless as he said without hesitation, “I think that it's a strong alliance between two families as we are both affluent, so it’s a very good match.”Hearing this, she was stunned. She hadn’t expected him to be this honest. However, she couldn't deny that she felt sad.‘We were a failure, but they are a strong alliance. Knowing this hurts even more!’ She thought to herself unhappily.Meanwhile, Seraphina's eyes shone with happiness, and she was thrilled. “Stef, are you serious? Do you think that we are a good match for each other?”He didn't glance at her and instead focused his attention on Renee. He said cynically, "In contrast to my last disastrous marriage, we’re a perfect fit." It was as if he was purposely provoking Renee.“Oh my god! This is wonderful.” Seraphina jumped up and pulled Stefan’s hand as she said excitedly, “Since that’s the case, what are we
After Renee had left, Seraphina was even more thrilled. “Ms. Everheart is gone. Nobody can stop us now!”She looked up at Stefan and held his arm as she exclaimed, “Let’s go, Stef. Let’s get married!”However, he yanked his arm from her grasp, and his handsome face turned cold. “Enough. It's hilarious when it's a joke, but it's no longer funny when taken seriously."Seraphina's smile faded instantly, and she cautiously asked him, "Stef, what do you mean it's a joke?""When I said I'd marry you, I was joking. Take nothing seriously." His tone was ice cold as he spoke."Well, what about when you said we are a strong alliance and would make a perfect match?” She asked hesitantly.“That was a joke too. I thought you would understand since you have known me for so long,” Stefan said indifferently.“No. I don’t understand!” She clenched her fists tightly, feeling humiliated. "You can make jokes about everything except emotions and marriage. I believed you because you said it. I-”“Si
After Renee left Hunt Manor, she debated whether she should get married to Mr. Q before Stefan and Seraphina got married. The plan seemed a little crazy because if she went through with it, Mr. Q would officially be her husband. If she regretted it in the future, it would be her second divorce.However, if this was the only way to maintain custody of her children, she wouldn’t object to it.While she was lost in thought, her tire came in contact with a screwdriver, flattening it and causing her car to stop on the side of the road.Seraphina drove her sports car over and honked at Renee, then drove slowly to the roadside as well. She stuck her head out of the window, a smug expression on her face. “Miss Renee, is your tire flat? What a shame. Do you need me to give you a ride?”“It’s fine. I’ll call a tow truck.” Renee didn’t want to interact much with Seraphina and didn’t even spare a glance at her.“That’s so troublesome. I have a tow hook in my car, so I can tow you to the repai
Seraphina succeeded in passing vehicles on the road while dragging a car behind her, which was very impressive to Renee."Do you like racing?" Renee inquired calmly from the passenger seat."Stef and I are well-known F-C1 Racing Club racers. You've seen my abilities, but I'm a little inferior to Stef. That's one of the reasons I respect him. He is so gifted that he excels at whatever he attempts. How could he be that gifted?" Seraphina passed another automobile smoothly as she spoke.Renee was taken aback by the unexpected acceleration and grabbed the door handle. "Oh my goodness, be careful! This slope is 60 degrees. Do you want to die by speeding here?""Don't worry. I know exactly what I'm doing. It's only a hill—no one will die," Seraphina said confidently. She drove fast and had no intention of slowing down.Renee rolled her eyes. "Of course you're protected. If something happens here, at the speed you're driving, the passenger is the one most likely to be killed."When she
Renee was clearly hinting at something. Seraphina wasn't stupid, so she saw what Renee was implying right away. "I know things were difficult when you and Stef split. You had been banished from the Hunts and had nowhere to go." Seraphina let down her guard and sympathized with Renee."When it comes to vying for Stef's heart, no one can beat that lady. She managed to persuade Stef to defend her with only her innocent expression. It made me furious to watch him pamper her like a baby!" Seraphina felt enraged as she talked, and she couldn't help but smack the steering wheel angrily.Briar was, without a doubt, the lady she was referring to. Renee's previous life had been a living nightmare because of her!"It's pointless to be angry. Your closest buddy likes ladies that seem naive. Instead of battling me, learn her methods and appear to be fragile and weak. It would be ideal if you could discover a way to get pregnant with his kid since he would then have no option but to marry you.
Renee was a bit taken aback. She had done extensive research and had discovered that the property was owned by Rubio.However, according to him, it belonged to someone else."Since the boss' identity is unique, he is unable to seize control of the property using his own name. Fortunately, the Pascal family has the financial means to purchase the property, so I helped him with it. On the surface, it seems that I am in command of the land, but I do not make the decisions. Additionally, it wasn't me that wanted the Rainbow Glaze, but him."Rubio purposely reminded her, “I'm warning you now—we can’t afford to offend the boss. Don’t try and do anything under his watch.”"I want to meet the person who can make you call them 'boss.' I'm not concerned about regaining ownership of the land. I just want to meet him," she said excitedly. She was like a lively child eager to start a new game.She wasn't really pleased to see Rubio since she felt he was rather plain. However, now that she knew
