“We have feelings for each other?”
Renee stopped eating and smiled helplessly. “Margaret, you’re always good at reading people, but not
today. Unfortunately, you’ve misread the situation. Do you know the reason behind Stefan’s sudden
visit and all that courting?”
“That’s because he can’t let go of you and wants to reconcile?”
Renee shook her head. “He came to plead for his lover. He’s a prideful man but stripped his pride for
such an awful woman.
That’s unacceptable. I’ll never forgive him for that!”
“What—” Margaret looked at Renee, appalled. She did not expect Renee’s former husband, who
seemed so upright and noble. to be so dishonorable. That was a great disappointment.
“I don’t think he’s that kind of man. He should be able to distinguish between right and wrong. He
probably won’t condone his lover and her bad character. Is there some misunderstanding?”
“Misunderstanding?”
Renee sneered, “Margaret, you lack experience in relationships. Do you know? There’s no right and
wrong in love…”
“The favored ones always do whatever they want. I blame my lack of charm. It’s been four years, yet I
never garnered his love.”Renee had always been confident. However, she felt inferior and weak against Stefan and their strange
marriage.
She couldn’t understand how a nice person like herself would lose to a pretentious woman like
Desrosiers. Anyway, screw that. She was done with self–doubt and hurting herself.
Margaret said nothing more. The failed relationship had indeed hurt Renee deeply. However, seeing
that Renee hadn’t let it go, she secretly decided to do something…
Stefan left the Everheart Residence in a terrible mood. Anger swirled around his face, and his stormy
aura would deter even the bravest souls from approaching him with a ten–foot pole.
He frightened H Group’s employees. Now, they were extra cautious and dared not even squeak.
At the same time, Xavier walked into Stefan’s office with a big grin.
“Stefan, Stefan. Are you there? Hey?”
Xavier sensed the strange atmosphere in the office while walking. It seemed like Stefan was the cause.
“Hello, Mr. Stuart! How can I help you? Mr. Hunt is busy today. I suggest you come back another time!”
Rachel, the secretary, tried to hint to Xavier about the situation. She hoped he would read the room and
not get himself into trouble.
Xavier, however, being the goofball he was, said with a big smile, “It’s okay. I’m Stefan’s favorite. He’ll
make time for me even if he’s busy.”
Xavier proudly lifted his chin towards Stefan, who was buried in work.
“Right, Stefan?”The only reply he got was, “Get lost!”
“Ahem!” Xavier flashed an awkward smile at Rachel. “Stefan seems to be in a bad mood today. What
happened?”
“I’m not sure,” she whispered. Everything was fine before, but I heard he became like this after leaving
his former wife’s place…”
“Alas, it must have been hard on Mr. Hunt. Now the world knows about his failed relationship. It’ll be
very humiliating to lose her forever. He’s probably under tremendous pressure!”
Almost eighty percent of the people in the company were fans of Stefan and Renee’s relationship.
Rachel, one of their rabid fans, even stalked Stefan and Renee’s movements.
Everyone unanimously agreed that Mr. Hunt must have been frustrated with the former Mrs. Hunt
again. They all looked at Stefan with awe and sympathy. There was also a sense of pleasure in
knowing that life was fair.
novelbin“Frustrated?”
Xavier sighed and lamented, “I didn’t think the former Mrs. Hunt would be that aggressive. Stefan can’t
even deal with her. I thought he could help get me some connections, but how about now?”
“Right? Mr. Hunt can’t have his way around Mrs. Hunt anymore!”
Both Xavier and Rachel sighed long and hard with sad faces.
Stefan glared at them, warning them coldly. “Don’t you two have anything to do? Do you want more
work?”
“Please, no!”Xavier rushed over and tried to flatter him. “Stefan, I’m here for a reason! It’s serious business!”
