Chapter: 5

Having worked at the courthouse for years, he had witnessed countless tears and fights during divorce proceedings. This was the first time he had come across such calm individuals at the courthouse.

He simply couldn�t fathom why this couple was divorcing each other. They appeared to be made for each other, especially given their good looks.

Renee immediately took the papers and read through the clauses. She mumbled to herself sarcastically, �There�s a grace period for divorce, but not marriage? If this law applied to marriages as well, I-�

Stefan�s expression darkened. With a cold smirk, he snapped, �Oh? Are you saying you wouldn�t have married me if there was a grace period for marriage?�

�Nope!� Renee lifted an eyebrow. �I got 40 million out of you. 40 million! The average woman wouldn�t even dream of making this much money in their lifetime. I guess you could say I struck gold!�

Stefan was visibly upset by her reaction. He tugged on his tie out of frustration.

The Renee from before was always very lenient as if she didn�t even have her own opinions. The closer they got to the divorce, the more sharp and spiteful her words became.

Just as they were about to part ways, a soft voice came from behind. �Fan, are you done yet?�

Renee turned around, only to realize it was Briar!

Briar was wearing a white sundress, her gaze filled with a tinge of sadness. She looked like a dandelion that would crumple apart at the slightest breeze. There wasn�t a single shred of arrogance left on her face, unlike the other night when they initially met.


Besides that, Renee had also noticed a slight bump on her belly.

�Didn�t I tell you to wait for me in the car? What are you doing out here?�

�It�s cold out here. This child is important to our family, we can�t afford to have you fall ill while pregnant.�

Stefan�s voice sounded cold and distant as usual.

Seeing the two, Renee couldn�t help but feel betrayed. Deep down in her heart, she felt extremely aggrieved.

�Don�t you think you owe me an explanation, Master Hunt?�

Stefan stared back at Renee expressionlessly.

�I don�t owe you anything."

�Just look at how unabashed this man is acting! This is ridiculous!� Renee thought. She had always viewed Stefan as someone who was morally sound and would never commit adultery.

In the end� the very same man she thought so highly of, dropped a nuclear bomb on her. Not only did he intend on marrying his mistress, but they were expecting as well. JrNovels.com
