Charles gulped before stammering. �B�because� Mr. Sunder heard that the Everheart villa was haunted. The neighbors around here, including his close friends, expressed their fear� H�he�s a righteous man he said we should clean up this unclean place for everyone�s sake!�

�That�s bullshit!�

Renee could feel her brain cells deteriorating from the man�s nonsense. Was he insulting their intelligence?

Enduring the pain in her abdomen, she coldly snorted, �Do you think I�m an idiot? Or are you saying Mr. Sunder is stupid? You�re boldly using his name and portraying him as a fool. You seem to be really tired of living, don�t you?�

�Miss Everheart, calm down. Mr. Sunder really did say��

Charles was also in disbelief at his own words, but what else could he do?

He couldn�t say that Jeremy knew that Renee had moved back into the Everheart residence and had deliberately sent Charles to get rid of her, right?!

After all, Renee was still Stefan�s wife. Even if the two were divorced, the man wouldn�t stand back and watch his ex-wife get bullied, that�s for sure!

�What did Mr. Sunder sent you here to do it again?� Stefan asked nonchalantly, attempting to display an attitude of indifference.

�H�he asked us to clean up this dirty place��

�So, you�re saying that my ex-wife is dirty?�

�N�no! That�s not what I meant!� Charles was sorely tempted to bury his head in the ground. At this moment, he was only digging a deeper grave for himself.

�Y�you misunderstand, Mr. Hunt! I was only� I just�!�

Charles carefully studied Stefan�s face, at a complete loss at how to answer the man. Whether they were divorced, Charles was even more insignificant to Stefan than Renee.

He felt that whichever way he answered would be wrong.

Renee was uncomfortable as she listened to the conversation. Somehow, she felt like Stefan was indirectly insulting her.

Stefan looked at Charles coldly, then suddenly raised his foot to step on Charles� head. �Go back and tell Jeremy that there�s nothing I hate more than bullies! The deal between H Group and Sunder Group has been terminated!�

�Y�yes, sir!�

Charles didn�t dare protest or say more. Gesturing wildly to the other men, the group scrambled and left the villa.

What a mess! Charles hadn�t expected that his luck was so bad that he�d run into Stefan, now like a knight riding in on a white horse to save the damsel in distress. JrNovels.com
