Zack noticed Renee's embarrassment and wanted to help her out."Yeah, I think this punishment is boring too. I wouldn't want to offend His Royal Majesty Mr. Hunt, so I decided to forfeit my punishment right."Many an eye were rolled in the crowd.Zack's double standard was too obvious. He was singing a completely different tune a moment ago. His preference for the new boss was way too obvious!Stefan's expression did not change much, but his perfect, cold face was unreadable under the flickering light.He stared at the woman next to him with a cold gaze and suddenly smirked. “I underestimated your charisma. You sure know how to win people over.”“...”Renee simply sat there. She did not know how to respond.'Why is this guy being so sarcastic?'She just helped him evade punishment. Was he not supposed to thank her? Why did he look so unhappy with her?'Men are so unreasonable!'The game continued. This time, the arrow pointed at Xavier."Hahaha!"Xavier laughed out loud. H
Upon leaving the bar, Renee said goodbye to Zack and the other lawyers and stood alone by the roadside to wait for her ride.The cool night breeze brushed against her cheeks, making her feel refreshed.Her figure was graceful in the white dress, her hair fluttering slightly in the wind like a waterfall. There was not much emotion on her delicate face, but there was a hint of sadness there, as if it hid many stories.Quite a few men stopped their cars and either honked or whistled at her, wanting to take her for a ride, but she scared them away with her fierce gaze.Another car stopped nearby. Renee was ready to roll her eyes again. The window slowly rolled down to show Stefan inside.Her gaze changed from a fierce one to a cold one, as if she did not even know him."Need a ride?"Stefan invited in a low voice."Nope, wouldn't want you to go out of your way!"A direct refusal from Renee.Stefan was speechless at her response.Go out of his way? They lived next to each other.
In the silver sports car, Liam paid full attention to the road ahead. Each ounce of force he exerted on the accelerator was done with deliberate care, lest he cause any unnecessary bumps for his goddess and the two little babies in her belly."Boss, you're such a naughty mother. How can you visit a bar while you're pregnant? That's bad prenatal education.""It's a restaurant bar. I didn't drink any liquor."Renee sat in the passenger seat with her head propped up on her hand, looking absent-mindedly out of the window. Her mind seemed preoccupied.Liam may seem carefree, but he was actually quite observant.He could immediately tell that Renee was still feeling troubled about Stefan, so he said, half teasing and half testing, “Boss, since you haven't officially divorced the Iceberg yet, why don't you tell him about your pregnancy and see who he chooses?""Based on what I observed, it's not like he's completely devoid of any feelings for you. At the very least... he's still rather
The next day, Renee headed for Floating Cloud Villa in a casual beige suit. Her hair was tied into a neat ponytail. She looked young, like a fresh college graduate.Floating Cloud Villa was located in a primeval forest more than 50 kilometers away from the urban area of Beach City.The place had dense vegetation, a high level of oxygen concentration, natural hot springs, golf courses, and natural fishing grounds. It was the first choice holiday destination for many wealthy people.Due to a bit of traffic on the road, Renee arrived at Floating Cloud Villa at exactly 10:01 am, so she was a minute late.Upon arriving there, she saw a group of people enthusiastically gathered around someone who was walking out of Floating Cloud Villa.That person was Jerome South, chairman of the South Group, and the person Renee was going to meet.South Group was a powerful company with a strong background. It was one of the top investment companies in Beach City and a loyal partner of Hunt Enterpri
"Give it to me!"Jerome grabbed the brown paper bag and pulled out the documents inside, his fingers trembling slightly due to excitement.It was a freshly-issued winning verdict for an appeal.Except for Renee, no one there knew how significant this verdict was to Jerome.After a long time, Jerome finally turned his gaze away from the verdict.He looked at Renee. His shrewd eyes had a hint of barely noticeable wetness in them. He said, “Come with me!"And so, as everyone watched on in disbelief, Renee successfully obtained the opportunity to meet with Jerome, the chairman of South Group, alone.In the high-end luxury box, Jerome was very emotional."The appeal is successful. Finally, the appeal is successful. Five years... I've waited way too long for this moment!"He repeatedly read the contents of the verdict. Even now, he could still hardly believe it.Jerome's reaction reminded Renee of her late father. She sighed. “Justice is always present. I believe Ms. Chase can defi
The next second, a beautiful and boisterous figure burst in.Comment by Felicia C: insert 2 hashtag before first para"Daddy, I heard a slut is trying to seduce you, so I came to see what the shameless woman looks like!”Jane South was wearing black high heel boots and carrying a limited edition bag. She was shouting and making a scene like a typical spoiled rich girl.She instantly saw Renee sitting across from Jerome South. Surprise crept into her willful face."It's actually you... the woman that Stefan has hated for four years but is still shamelessly clinging onto him!” said Jane through clenched teeth. She looked at Renee with contempt and jealousy. Her attitude was full of hostility.Renee's smiled faintly and extended her hand to Jane, unperturbed. "Hello, Ms. South. I'm honored that you still remember me."She had met Jane before. She knew Jane was Stefan's number one fan. Because Jerome doted on Jane, Jane had grown up spoiled and willful.Generally speaking, Renee ha
Gourmet Pavilion was a top-class restaurant in Beach City. It was the preferred place for many businessmen to socialize and entertain guests.Currently, in their most luxurious dining hall, the Swan Hall, Stefan was sitting at the main table, receiving praises and flattery from everyone. He was undoubtedly the center of attention.“You're definitely the most outstanding individual in the entire Beach City, Mr. Hunt. You repeatedly lead Hunt Enterprise to achieve new heights! The likes of us can only look up to you!"A steady stream of toasts accompanied by flattery would make anyone dizzy.But not Stefan. He remained steadfast, his cold eyes unreadable. The regal air he exuded was a far cry from the crude air around the other businessmen.At that moment, a young voice cautiously said, "Although Mr. Hunt is incredible, there are many rising stars lately. Take Liam Osborne, the young son of Geronimo Osborne, for example. The Azure Group he runs is on a roll right now!"In the midst
About ten minutes later, a waitress in a traditional dress led Jane into the Swan Hall."I finally get to see you again, Stefan. You can't avoid me this time!"She went straight to Stefan's left side. The person sitting to Stefan's left was very tactful and immediately offered his seat.Everyone in Beach City knew that Jane, the future heir of South Group and the pampered only child of Jerome South, was crazy about Stefan Hunt.Hunt Enterprise and South Group were strategic partners that had cooperated for many years.The two young people were comparable in age and family background. A marriage between them seemed like a matter of certainty.But a certain Renee Everheart suddenly appeared out of nowhere..."Stefan, you've grown even more handsome since the last time I saw you. You have no idea how much I've missed you. All I could dream about was you...”Since Jane came in, her eyes never left Stefan. She intimately grabbed his arm and said coquettishly, "How could you be so cr
