Liam chuckled. �You�re funny, Mr. Jacobs. We�re a couple� How can anything be pure? I�ve made my feelings for Renee are very obvious, and there�s nothing pure about it!�

After Liam said this, everyone looked at Stefan. However, Stefan took a sip of alcohol without saying anything. He didn�t seem to care at all.

�Christopher, you heard what he said. He�s clearly here to provoke us. I think you-� Xavier started heatedly, but stopped when Christopher sent him a warning glare.

Christopher might seem like a handsome and quiet person, but he was ten times more aggressive than Stefan when he was angry.

Although the Jacobs family wasn�t one of the eight most powerful families in Beach City, the family had been involved in politics for generations. They had connections that spanned far and wide in the country�s politics, so he was definitely someone you didn�t want to piss off!

Since Christopher had welcomed Liam to the group, Xavier would be disrespecting Christopher if he kept threatening Liam.

Finally, Xavier decided he would just shut his mouth and watch the show!

Liam picked up two glasses and filled them up � one for him, and the other for Stefan. �Here� a toast from me to you. Thank you for giving Renee her freedom. It�s a new beginning for her, and she�s so much more confident than before. You�re a living saint!�

Liam downed his glass after saying that. He didn�t just say that to be polite � he really did mean every word. If Stefan wasn�t such a jerk and forced Renee to get divorced, she�d probably just be seen as �Stefan�s wife�.

Stefan looked at the glass Liam handed him, emotions whirling in him. Anyone could tell that Liam didn�t have good intentions, but deep down, he actually agreed with what Liam said.

To everyone�s surprise, Stefan accepted the glass from Liam and chuckled. �Indeed� She�s changed after leaving me. She�s like a fish that�s returned to the ocean and a bird that�s taken off to the sky. She�s found her own haven.�

"I thought a boring woman like her would suffer without the Hunt family�s protection, and not many men.would like her, but now�� Stefan looked at Liam before shifting his gaze to his nephew, Julian. He then shook his head with a half-hearted smile. �She�s doing much better than I thought. I genuinely hope she can be happy.�

Liam nearly choked on his drink. He suddenly didn�t know what to say. He never expected that heartless man to say something so emotional� He sounded genuine too.

What Liam said next made him seem a little petty in comparison. �Well, Mr. Hunt, you�re certainly very.diplomatic. Renee is doing great, and I bet there are people lining up all the way to Fraser just to pursue her. It�s a lot of pressure for me! However, you seem to be doing pretty well yourself�

"You�ve only just ended things with Renee, but you�ve already found yourself a new woman. It seems you change women like you change clothes!�

Liam thought Stefan might deny it. From what he observed, Stefan didn�t seem particularly close to this fake version of Renee. They looked like strangers.

However, Stefan pulled Shirley into his arms. �She�s very naive and adorable. I do like her.�

Everyone was shocked.

Although Xavier didn�t know why Stefan was lying, he was loyal to him. �I bet you�re surprised. Stefan can�t help it when he falls for someone� it was like love at first sight for these two!�

�Love at first sight?� Liam sneered. �Why does this girl look so much like Renee then? Are you telling me you never fell for Renee, but you fell for this fake version of her instead?� JrNovels.com
