Chapter: 186

Old Mr. Hunt had absolute authority over the Hunt family. Stefan had always looked up to his grandfather as a role model and had been respectful and dutiful to him. Ever since a child, he had always obeyed Old Mr. Hunt�s orders unconditionally.

However, his marriage with Renee was an exception. He had to disobey him for once.

�You kid. You�re quick at admitting your fault. In that case, I�ll give you one last chance. Be honest with me. Apart from the vacation, what else are you two hiding from me?�

Stefan looked down coldly and remained silent.

�Not saying anything, are you?�

Old Mr. Hunt took a deep breath and showed a meaningful expression. �Even if you stay silent,

I know what happened. I guess Ren must have suffered but dared not resist. That�s why she gave me the pearl as a hint��

�Hint?� Renee listened in confusion. She gave Old Mr. Hunt the black pearl in the hopes that it might bring him health and peace. What did she hint at him? How could she not know?

�As soon as I saw the pearl, I thought of how it symbolized fertility and childbirth��

Old Mr. Hunt�s face turned grim. He sternly questioned Stefan, who was kneeling on the ground. �You b*stard. Tell me honestly. Are the rumors true? Did you really knock up another woman behind Ren�s back?�

Since the matter had digressed to this point, Stefan found no reason to hide anymore. Although he was still on his knees, he kept his back straight and said with a cold and firm voice, �Now that you know, I have nothing to say. The child does indeed have the bloodline of the Hunt family. It needs a legitimate identity and a competent father.�

�You!� Old Mr. Hunt held his chest and almost skipped a breath. Then, he slammed his cane on Stefan�s back with no mercy. �You fool!

�That child needs legitimate status and respect. What about Ren? Have you ever considered her feelings? She�s your wife! Over the years, hasn�t Ren been devoted to everyone in the family, including you and me?

�You�re the closest person to her, yet you don�t care for her or love her. Fine, but how could you hurt her?!�

Old Mr. Hunt became angrier as he spoke. With authority, he ordered, �I don�t care. Send the. immoral woman to the hospital right now and get rid of your illegitimate child!�

�I�ll only accept you and Ren�s children to the family. I won�t recognize anyone else!�

Stefan kept his head down and outright refused. �I�m sorry. I can�t comply.�

Stefan�s reply was the last straw. Old Mr. Hunt was seriously pissed.

�Great. You�re so stubborn, aren�t you? You won�t even listen to me because of a woman. If this is it, I�ll serve you with the family punishment!�

Old Mr. Hunt opened the bookcase after saying that. He took out a long whip and struck it at Stefan without warning. JrNovels.com
