Chapter 824

Penulis: Mizuki Sei
After considering it, Renee decided to stay and discuss the divorce with the man.

Soon, the Hunt family's doctor arrived at the manor. With his years of experience in the medical field, he diagnosed Stefan with mechanical back pain. His back muscles were slightly damaged, so it would take a lot of effort to even walk or sit.

"Mr. Hunt, your back is severely damaged due to excessive strain. Now, I need to ask you a few questions to determine the appropriate treatment for your wounds…"

"Go ahead."

"Well…" The doctor glanced at the two, hesitant to speak.

"Doctor, is something the problem? Are his injuries so serious that he's going to be partially paralyzed, or worse, bedridden?" Renee asked anxiously.

Normally, doctors would only behave this way if a patient was about to pass. Thus, the woman naturally jumped to the worst conclusion possible.

"Umm, well, no. I'd just… like to know how you hurt yourself, Mr. Hunt. This is a very serious injury, but I didn't think it was appropria

    "You're toying with me again! How could you discuss such intimate topics in front of a woman?!""What do you mean? This is merely a normal conversation between husband and wife…" Stefan said casually, but his eyes were filled with pride. "Don't forget. We are legally married now, so this isn't crossing any lines.""Hmph, legally married?!" This angered Renee, and she scoffed. "You played despicable tricks to obtain my documents and bribed the registration personnel too! How could you bring that up with absolutely no shame?!""Of course. But if you have any objections regarding this matter, you could just try to annul the marriage. We'll see if the judge supports you on that.""You really are a despicable man, Stefan Hunt. You're a fraud!" Renee yelled at the man, helpless. She knew well enough that the judge wouldn't support her even if she tried. Stefan Hunt was a perfectionist and would definitely make sure to avoid every single loophole when carrying this plan out.The woman kn

    Stefan's gaze turned cold, and shock flashed in his eyes briefly. However, he was able to compose himself within seconds, putting on a fake smile. "Your martial arts skills are quite impressive, so that's not surprising."He had long guessed that Renee was someone with great power. Her identity as the gentle daughter of the Everheart family was a mere mask to please the public. Her secret identities would definitely blow everyone's minds if she were to be found out.However, the man never found enough concrete evidence to rip that mask off. Thus, he was very excited to hear her reveal her secrets."Really now?" Renee cracked her knuckles and approached the bed, smirking coldly. "Are you not afraid that you'd be my next target? After all, you can't move. A mere flick of my finger would be enough to take your life. Our marriage would automatically be dissolved then, so I wouldn't have to negotiate senselessly with you."She then placed two fingers on the man's neck as quick as lightn

    Stefan remained composed, despite facing Renee's utter disbelief. "No… No way! That doesn't make sense at all!" The woman had goosebumps all over her body, and she quickly left the room. She had always thought that Stefan had some kind of ulterior motive for pestering her so much. The kinder he seemed, the worse his schemes could be. Hence, she knew that she couldn't let her guard down.Since she couldn't seem to read him, the only thing she could do was distance herself from him, not giving him a single chance to 'plot against her'. However, she was still considerate of his current condition, and knew that he wouldn't be able to survive on his own for the next few days. Thus, she dialed Francine's number, getting straight to the point. "Your son's back is strained, so you should hire a caretaker for him."Francine, on the other hand, seemed overjoyed to receive a call from her. She said brightly, "Oh, my dear daughter-in-law, I was just about to call you! Guess where I am righ

    Just as Renee was wondering if she should just allow Francine to take the kids with her, the old woman's voice turned unusually serious. "Ren, I know you still hold resentment towards the family. I know you hate my son, and you hate me too. I understand that we were horrible towards you, but Grandpa Timothy has always treated you with nothing but sincerity, hasn't he? He always treated you like you were his own granddaughter, right?""I will always remember the kindness he showed me," Renee admitted."So please, can you go along with it just this once? For his sake? We just want him to be happy."Renee remained silent.Seeing that the woman wasn't giving in, Francine sighed. "You might not know this, but the old man's health is deteriorating rapidly. The doctor said he wasn't even sure if he'd make it through winter this year.""What?" Renee felt her heart sink. "But didn't Grandpa Timothy go through a heart transplant surgery? It went really well too! So why…""Child, have you a

    "Oh, to think you were just saying how I'm the only woman you'd marry! And now I'm not supposed to know about your family matters?" Renee burst out sobbing. "Have you ever wondered how I'd feel if Grandpa Timothy passed away all of a sudden?!"Stefan flashed her a cold smile. "How would you feel? You think everyone in the Hunts is evil anyway. You avoid all of us like we're the plague!""Stefan Hunt, you jerk!" Renee stormed over to him and raised an arm to punch him. However, she remembered that he was currently injured, and couldn't bring herself to harm him. Instead, she merely yelled at him in a fiercer tone, "Who do you take me for? I'm not a cold-blooded monster like you! You know how much I love Grandpa Timothy, and you know I see him as my second grandfather! Why did you hide his illness from me?! Do you want me to feel guilty for all eternity?!""And what can you do about it?" Stefan's gaze was hostile, his voice disdainful. "It's not like anything would change after you

    'Wait, did he find out that I was in a fake relationship with Mr. Q?! We did really well in playing the role of a loving couple to fool the kids though… No one should know about our fake relationship apart from us! Unless… Mr. Q decided to come clean with Stefan Hunt about this for some reason. If that's the case, what is their relationship with each other? What secrets are they hiding?' Renee's mind was working overtime thinking about all this."What are you thinking about?" Stefan asked."N… Nothing.""Really?""Of course!" Renee clicked her tongue, feeling guilty. "I mean what I say. Why would I ever lie to you?""Okay then." Stefan looked at Renee with a knowing smirk as if he saw right through her. He knew exactly what she was thinking at that moment, but he knew he couldn't let her find out about the truth. If she did, she'd definitely beat him to death."What do you think about my suggestion, Stefan? If you agree, let's pay the old manor a visit, for Grandpa Timothy." Rene

    The '81 Curve' was the most difficult route in the area, with several risky turns, and was a natural racing course. The road had 81 turns in all, thus the name.Many underground racers enjoyed racing there, and as a result, many died there too. Although racing was no longer permitted on the track, many people still went to race there at night. Renee was one of those courageous individuals.Stefan grinned as he looked out the window at the greenery that flashed past him. "You can go as fast as you want; I'm not as weak as you think. You don't have to hold back in front of me."Renee used to hide her real feelings in order to be the ideal wife in front of him. The more she strived to be flawless, the more he loathed it, and it had created a tremendous gap between them. He couldn't fall in love with someone who buried her emotions behind a mask, but he was so passionately in love with her now that she had ceased caring about his opinion and was genuinely herself."I read somewhere that th

    In Hunt Manor, Timothy was overjoyed, and his eyes welled up with tears as he saw Francine bring Aiden and Abigail home."Kids, this is the grandpa I mentioned. He's the Hunt family member who likes your mother the most and who your father fears the most." Francine gladly introduced Timothy to the children. After interacting with them for a few days, she had come to understand their thought process—anyone friendly to Renee and hostile to Stefan was an ally.She had become their ally by criticizing Stefan on occasion, and she hoped that by introducing Timothy in such a way, the children would warm to him.To Francine's delight, her plan worked. Aiden, who was usually cautious, approached Timothy on his own.He raised his head and looked at Timothy's wrinkled face, then gently hooked his finger around the old man's wrinkled finger and murmured, "Great-grandpa, I can tell you're a good person. Thank you for looking after my mother."When Abigail saw this, she went up to her brother and ha

    Stefan remained quiet as he calmly watched Renee. He extended his hand to touch her face but retrieved it before he could.She used to be the woman he was familiar with and the one he had hugged and kissed countless times, but now, he didn't even dare to touch her. "I think she doesn't even want you here. She must hate you so much and is disappointed in you. She'll be even more pressured if you stay here, and it'll push her further from this world. So please, get the hell out of here if you want the best for her!"Justin could not hold himself back from scolding Stefan. If Jovan was telling the truth, Stefan must be aware of the fact that Jovan was holding Renee hostage. Yet, he remained indifferent and feigned ignorance. He didn't even care if Renee was fine. What a cruel bastard! Justin was disappointed in Stefan. He wanted nothing more than to see what was really on Stefan's mind."Take good care of her." Stefan did not want to defend himself. He glanced at Renee, relucta

    "What did you do to her?!" Stefan interrogated Jovan coldly, his eyes teary. "She isn't the kind to kill herself! What the hell did you do to her?" "Try to wake her up if you want to know." Jovan was pale. His previous sickness, coupled with his recent blood donation to Renee, made him very weak. Despite that, he refused to stop infuriating others. "Do you think I can't do anything to you? Do you really think that?" Stefan could no longer hold himself back and strangled Jovan. "I'm going to kill you! Repent for the terrible things you've done!"He couldn't imagine the kind of thing that could force the strong and stubborn Renee to resist by using such a desperate means. "You obviously won't go easy on me! I'm sure of that!" Jovan sneered. His pale face turned flushed as he suffocated from Stefan's powerful grip. "But you'd better kill yourself first if you want to avenge her! She ended up like this because of you." "What?" Stefan's face was frosty. He strengthened his grip a

    Jovan slowly got up from the ground, looking incredibly weak. He whispered, "She lost too much blood. The doctor claimed she's out of danger, but…she hasn't woken up.""What did you say?" Stefan and Justin were bewildered. They couldn't process his words."So, she was the female college student who tried to kill herself?" Stefan said. He staggered after linking the information he had heard from a nurse with the things that Jovan had said."Stop acting dumb! You're so smart, how could you have missed that?" Jovan glared coldly stared at Stefan, scrutinizing him in disdain. "You were just too scared to face the truth and your woman! You're such a coward! You're an embarrassment to your family!""Agreed!" Justin added; he suddenly found Jovan useful, especially when the latter started insulting Stefan. It felt just right."Although I'm a fallback guy, I'm braver than you. I accept that she doesn't love me, and I'm willing to give it a try with her. And although this guy's a vill

    Stefan frowned, doubtful. He looked vigilantly at Jovan, who had collapsed on the ground. "What do you mean by this?"Jovan kept coughing and said nothing. His lips grew pale as he sneered.Justin's eyes were cold, and he held back his urge to beat up Jovan. "Hmph! Obviously, this is a scam!"He demanded condescendingly, "How dare you barge into my territory and take away my woman! Don't you fear my family and me at all?"Jovan, filled with disdain, looked at Justin as if he was a fool. "Stop talking. You don't even have the right to join this battle."To Jovan, only Stefan was qualified and powerful enough to be his enemy."How dare you say that!" Justin was infuriated. He got down on one knee and grabbed Jovan. "Your family always says nasty things! You two are the same. If we start fighting, I'll make sure to cut your tongue first!""Did I say something wrong?" Jovan sized Justin up, ridiculing Justin with mock compassion. "Don't you have any self-awareness? You're just a fal

    Stefan frowned and asked solemnly, "Aren't you a top hacker? Hack into this hospital's inpatient system. Then, we'll know where she is.""Yes, you're right." Still, Justin wanted to challenge Stefan. He said indifferently, "But you're Jovan's cousin. It's more convenient for you to make a call instead of me hacking into their system."Yes, Justin could hack into their system, but calling Jovan would be quicker. And what they needed the most was time."He and I…" Stefan sneered, flexing his fingers. "The fact we didn't kill each other is considered peaceful. He's not as obedient as you think.""You'll know by calling him."Justin had heard about the complicated internal fights of the Hunt family, but he felt that Stefan was exaggerating."Jovan is a Hunt no matter what. Plus, he's still working at Hunt Enterprise. Just call him," Justin said. "Fine." Stefan found Justin logical. His private grudges with Jovan were not important because finding Renee immediately was the most impo

    Both Stefan and Justin arrived at Grace Hospital quickly. However, Stefan suddenly stopped before he entered the hospital. He looked at Justin curiously."Let's go! It's urgent. Stop standing here!"Justin hurriedly ran. When he turned around, he found that Stefan had not caught up with him. Confused, he asked Stefan, "Something is puzzling me. Don't you want me to stop seeing her? Why did you let me come with you?" Stefan narrowed his eyes and interrogated Justin suspiciously, "Did you lie to me? Or are you plotting something?" "That's nonsense! Don't take me as you. I'm not full of schemes like you!" Justin sounded disdainful. In comparison to Stefan, Justin was not full of schemes. He also looked down upon Stefan since the latter was always vigilant.Justin answered honestly, "Yeah, I don't want you to meet her ever, but I'm sure she wants to see you if she's in danger. Yes, I hate you—but I want her to be happy." He guessed that Renee must be in a serious state since Jov

    "Uh…" After some contemplation, Elijah nodded. "I know what to do, Mr. Hunt. It looks like you can see far beyond the current situation. Just leave this to me.""Of course, the most important thing is to have fun."Stefan remained calm; he didn't feel like he had stepped over the line. He merely wanted Justin to learn about the cruelty of the world since Justin was always being protected so well. Whenever he did something wrong, he had to pay a price for it.Besides, Stefan merely did it for his aunt, who had taken the gunshot for nothing. When they reached a consensus, Justin came to meet Stefan. "Hey…" After a pause, he said with dissatisfaction and helplessness, "Would you like to go with me?"Stefan raised his brows in confusion."I mean, do you want to visit Phoenix with me?" Justin sighed. He looked naive, like a college student, as he confessed, "I found Jovan. I don't know why he's so good at countersurveillance. After exiting the emergency room, he transferred her to

    "So, what do you want to do?" Stefan asked emotionlessly. He kept watching Nora, who was lying unconscious in the ward."At the very least, we have to teach the Baldwin family a lesson and make the public aware of your family's power as the head of The Great Eight of Beach City. It's not just about venting anger, but more about which side the various great families will take. It concerns the future of your family, too. We can't take it lightly!"Elijah could not hide his indignation. As Stefan's assistant, he was no longer merely an ordinary employee. He was loyal to Stefan and the Hunt family. He couldn't bear to see Stefan suffer any injustice or watch the Hunt family get humiliated. If Stefan hadn't stopped him, he would have gathered all the manpower to fight the Baldwins. Although he had fought Cadmus and Tiger, he had yet to defeat them. He tried to figure out a way to make a counterattack, his face shadowed in gloom.Stefan turned and calmly looked at Elijah. "How shoul

    When Justin was willing to send them on an errand again, Cadmus was eager to express his loyalty."No, you don't have to risk your lives for me. That's bloody and horrible. All you need to do is find someone for me." After a pause, Justin added, "Jovan Hunt, Stefan's younger cousin." Cadmus clenched his fists and said fiercely, "It's another Hunt! Old Master Baldwin is right. The Hunt family is full of bad people. If we knew, we shouldn't have dismantled the bombs in Hunt Enterprise. The Hunt family has strengthened their security system now. It's hard to set up bombs there if we want to." Justin felt a headache when he heard Cadmus babbling. He rubbed his temples, and said tiredly, "Stop. We don't have to blow up Hunt Enterprise. I just want to find him. Do you get me? Find him. That's enough!"He stressed his intention of locating Jovan as if he were giving a simple and clear order to robots. Most of the time, Cadmus and Tiger were like AI. Real robots were probably more obedie
