�Hold that thought!� Renee was so annoyed by his constant blabbering that she considered blocking him again.

�I promised Grandpa that I won�t go back to that life anymore. If you really do see me as your boss, you better keep this a secret.�

It appears that her past was rather �interesting�, to say the least. However, she wasn�t in the mood to talk about it.

�I called because I want you to help investigate something��

After talking some more with Liam, Renee hung up the phone, only to receive a text message from Stefan.

Her heart started racing as she tapped her phone screen ever so lightly.

[Beach City Courthouse, 9 am tomorrow.]

Short and simple, as if she didn�t deserve any more than that. The butterflies in her stomach dropped dead in an instant. She realized how foolish she had been for expecting more from this man.

[Ok.]

Renee replied, matching his energy

The next day, Renee showed up at the courthouse at 8:30 am, even though they agreed to meet at nine.

Not only did she arrive early, but she also made sure to put on heavy makeup and her favorite outfit, a rose-red halter dress. With her long hair tied up into a ponytail, the skin on her neck and back glowed under the bright sunlight.

When paired with her elegant, yet cold demeanor, she looked angelic from afar.

Unfortunately, she had caught a cold the night before. Her body was burning up, which made her feel quite weak.

At 9 am sharp, a silver Bugatti Veyron cruised into the parking lot in front of the courthouse. Soon after, she was greeted by Stefan�s ice-cold expression as he exited the vehicle.

His eyes sparkled for a split second when he saw Renee standing there, but this was quickly replaced with a contemptuous expression for some reason.

�Well, aren�t you excited?� Stefan scoffed as he walked past Renee, heading straight towards the department that handled divorce cases.

��What�s his deal?!� Renee thought to herself as she stared up at the tall figure. �Aren�t you the one who�s excited? You�re practically running to the counter!�

The procedure went very smoothly. All they had to do was sign a few papers, which took less than ten minutes.

�According to the new law, there is a one-month grace period for all divorces. Should any of you wish to call off the divorce, you can bring along the required documents before the thirty days are up,� explained the staff as he handed them their application forms. JrNovels.com
