Liam hurled his glass onto the floor and snarled, �Stefan is a heartless scumbag! He�s playing with someone�s feelings. He�ll get his karma soon enough!�

Liam returned to Renee�s side with his head hung low. �Sorry, Boss� I didn�t avenge you. I wasn�t expecting him to be such a jerk!�

Renee didn�t react to his words. In fact, she smiled as she shuffled the tarot cards she was holding. It seemed like she didn�t care about what happened earlier at all.

"Boss, don�t be sad. You�re divorced already. He can find someone new, and so can you. If he�s going for someone younger, you can go for someone younger too!�

Renee didn�t say anything, and slowly placed the shuffled cards on the table. She then randomly picked one and smiled. �The sun card� It represents freedom and success. My luck is about to change, so there�s nothing to be sad about.�

Liam and Leia looked at each other. They felt sorry for Renee. When a girl started believing in superstitions and mystic arts, that meant she had been hurt badly and was hoping to heal. Although Renee appeared to be very carefree lately, she was probably struggling on the inside�

�I�m tired. Let�s go home!� Renee said suddenly and stood up.

When she walked past Christopher�s table, he called out to her. �Ms. Everheart, do you have a minute?�

Renee stopped walking and turned to look at him.

Christopher smiled apologetically. �Stefan is the emotional equivalent of a rock when it comes to relationships. He doesn�t know how to express how he truly feels, so please don�t mind his childish behavior.�

Renee shrugged. �It doesn�t matter. We have nothing to do with each other now, so he can do whatever he wants. I don�t care.�

Christopher shook his head and didn�t say anything.

After that, he retrieved an invite from his bag. �Cecilia and I are getting married tomorrow. I wanted to ask Stefan to pass this to you, but it seems like a better idea for me to personally hand it to you. I hope you�ll come tomorrow.�

Renee was a little surprised. She and Christopher had only met on two or three occasions, so she wasn�t expecting an invitation to such a private event.

However, after thinking about it, the Jacobs family was very powerful in the realm of politics. Being on good terms with them would be very helpful for the Everheart family�s future developments.

Renee accepted the invite with a grin. �Thank you for inviting me. I�ll make sure to show up in style.�

After Renee left, Christopher grabbed hold of Julian. �Kid, you�ve got some explaining to do. Why are you so close to your aunt-in-law?�

�Didn�t you hear? They�re already divorced. She�s not my aunt-in-law anymore,� Julian answered casually.

"Don�t mess around. Your uncle is serious this time,� Christopher said sternly.

�Really? I couldn�t tell.� Julian�s arrogant demeanor was very much like Stefan�s. �I already gave him a chance. He didn�t appreciate it, and he even made things worse. He can�t blame me for giving it a shot now.� JrNovels.com
