Stefan thought Renee was crazy. He said coldly, �Do you have any idea what you�re doing? What kind of problem you�re gonna face? What kind of risk are you taking?�

Stefan�s interrogating questions were so sharp that Renee felt a bit overwhelmed and did not know how to respond.

She could not understand why he was so emotional. Was he afraid that Azure Group would grow so big that it would take away H Group�s market share? If so, that�s some serious lack of confidence!

Xavier could not help teasing him, �Bro, it�s none of your business. Don�t forget that you two are divorced now. She can do whatever she wants, whether it�s falling in love or investing in something. As for what risks she�s taking and if she can deal with the consequences, it�s got nothing to do with you!�

�That�s right, why should I care?�

Stefan stood up and said expressionlessly, �I�m done eating. Goodbye!�

Then, he just left.

The atmosphere instantly became extremely awkward.

Xavier looked at Renee and Zack apologetically and said, �I�m sorry, he�s a bit grumpy. He�s not normally like this!�

Renee and Zack looked at each other and nodded in understanding. �No need to explain. We all know how he is.�

So, dinner went on with the three of them taking turns roasting Stefan�

They parted ways after the meal. Zack and Renee were going in the opposite direction while Xavier happened to be going the same way as Renee, so Renee took Xavier�s car home.

The two of them chatted happily in the car, oblivious to the impending crisis�

The car arrived at the Everheart Residence.

Xavier stopped the car and looked around. �This place is pretty nice, but it�s not very lively. I even heard it�s haunted and that�s why the previous owner moved away. Aren�t you scared of staying in such a large place by yourself?�

Renee smiled and said, �What�s there to be scared of? Humans are much scarier than ghosts. I�m not even scared of humans, so why would I be scared of ghosts?�

She unfastened her seat belt, opened the door, and was about to get out of the car.

Xavier stared at her and suddenly felt like he wanted to spend more time with her. He couldn�t help but ask cheekily, �Aren�t you going to invite me in for a cup of tea?�

Renee turned around with a gentle smile on her face. She said calmly, �Sure. I happen to have some high quality Earl Grey.�

Her smile was like a blooming red rose, charming and brilliant. It captivated Xavier� JrNovels.com
