�Ow ow ow!� Liam couldn�t take it anymore and gave in. �Fine, but I�ll go with you. He�s my master, after all. I�m sure he won�t cross the line if I�m there.�

Renee hesitated for a moment, then nodded. �Okay, you can come, no one can lay a finger on you with me around.�

However, before going through with this plan, she had somewhere else she needed to be.

As the hate was still trending on the internet, H Group�s share prices were greatly affected. Moreover, there were paparazzi outside their headquarters every single day, which only made matters worse.

Stefan was sitting at his large office at the time, massaging his temples out of exhaustion and frustration. He had not expected this grudge from five years ago to be dug up, placing him as the target of everyone�s hate.

Thinking back on his feud with Quinton, he knew that he was indeed too brutal back then. However, he did it out of circumstance, having just taken over the company at the time. He had no choice but to be cruel to secure his position.

His family was unhappy with the fact that he took over H Group, and so were his

employees. The only person they trusted was his brother, Tristan. Hence, being young and reckless, he was eager to make a name for himself and decided he�d like to talk business in Water Dock.

At the time, Water Dock was overrun by the Carmine Pawnshop, which resulted in a never ending rivalry between the two, and they were at a stalemate.

At the very least, it was until a key figure appeared�

�Mr. Hunt, someone is requesting an audience of you.� The secretary knocked on the door, speaking in a respectful and careful tone.

�It�s probably those annoying reporters again, isn�t it? Tell them I�m not seeing anyone!�

Stefan was annoyed.

He simply never expected any of this information to have been leaked, let alone in such a touching article. With that, he really didn�t have a clue as to how to deal with this for now.

�Mr. Hunt, are you sure you don�t want to see anyone?� The secretary asked carefully again.

�Cant you understand me? I won�t be seeing anyone.�

�But� the person requesting an audience is� the ex-Mrs. Hunt.�

Stefan�s expression softened, and quickly spoke without hesitation. �Let her in.�

�Alright, Mr. Hunt.� The secretary nodded and sighed to themselves, i �Mr. Hunt sure has a double standard! How adorable!�

Renee walked into Stefan�s office, led by a secretary. It had been so long since she last

came here, but everything was still the same� except the man opposite her.

Renee stared at him, and sadness filled her. He was standing in front of the large French

windows like he used to, his back as straight as an arrow.

�What are you doing here?� Stefan turned around and shot Renee a cold glare, looking

hostile and unwelcoming. JrNovels.com
