�Are you out of your mind, Haze?! So the person who�s been tormenting me, pushing me around from behind the scene as if I�m an idiot, was you?!�

Initially, Haze had been like the cool and handsome protagonist in a drama, but now he turned out to be the abominable villain who deserved a good beating.

�Are you surprised to see me?� he asked with a sly smile. �Are you shocked? Don�t you think I look pretty cool appearing like that just now?�

�I think you need to get punched once or twice!� Renee yelled through gritted teeth.

She thought of how she scrambled all over the place doing everything she could to get the Everheart Residence back, how she even lowered her pride and stopped as low as begging for the Rainbow Glaze from Stefan Hunt, and it turned out that Haze was behind all of this. It made her really want to� stab the man!

�I did give you a hint,� Haze argued with an innocent face, his arms stretched out helplessly. �I told you that you would need me someday. It was you who completely disregarded me. I�ve been waiting for you to come to me, asking for my help, but� you insisted on doing everything yourself.�

�Stop talking nonsense!� Renee was not in the mood to chat with Haze. She just wanted to solve this tricky problem as soon as possible, so she asked him bluntly, �Just tell me now, what do I need to do to get you to transfer the rights to land to me?�

�If I tell you,� Haze smiled impishly, �are you going to do absolutely everything I want without question?�

If he had known that it took some �shameless� tricks to pursue a woman, he would not have been such a gentleman in the past and wasted so much of their time�

�Hmph, you crafty, conniving man!�

Renee could not even guess what Haze was scheming right now, and she was no longer in the mood to skirt around the subject, so she told him point-blank, �Just tell me what you want. If it�s something that�s within my power, then I�ll try my best to do anything you like.�

�Marry me!� Haze half-joked with a faint smile.

�Don�t even dream about it!� Renee refused without even thinking.

It was not the first time the guy made such a shamelessly preposterous proposal to her, and it was certainly not the first time she refused him. As time passed, such a gesture no longer affected her. The only thought that crossed her mind now was that Haze was deliberately looking for a chance to get beaten up.

�I just knew that you�d say no,� Haze clutched his chest as if Renee�s answer had deeply wounded him.

�If you keep on acting crazy like that,� Renee warned him coldly, her fists tightly clenched, �then I�m not going to hold back any longer. Tell me exactly what you want to do and get straight to the point this time!�

�Okay, okay! Jeez, I get it, you scary tigress��

The playful look on Haze�s face then disappeared, only to be replaced by a serious one as he told her,

�I want twenty percent of the shares of Azure Group.�

�What?!� Renee roared so angrily that she almost lost her voice. Her delicate face turned vicious, and she ferociously added, �Twenty percent?! Do you know what owning twenty percent of the shares means? It means you�ll be the biggest shareholder, besides me! If you have the audacity to ask for that, then why don�t you just snatch the company away from me?!� JrNovels.com
