�So, are you Phoenix?�

Renee could not help feeling somewhat guilty, and she quickly averted her gaze. She could easily fool the others, but she knew full well that the scarily shrewd Mr. Hunt was not someone to be trifled with.

All she could think of was to give him an ambiguous answer. �If you think I am, then I am. If you think I�m not, then I�m not.�

�Very good,� he responded. �That�s exactly the right kind of meaningless crap to say.�

His strikingly handsome face was emotionless as he demanded, �Give me your phone.�

After all, the entirety of anyone�s secret life would surely be hidden on their phone in this day and age. If there really was something suspicious about Renee, he could easily figure it out just by browsing through her phone for a while.

Naturally, there was no way that Renee would ever let him go through her phone, because there were so many things there that could never see the light of day!

�You�re invading my privacy here,� she told him directly. �Please forgive me, but I won�t cooperate.�

She stood her ground just as firmly as Stefan. It was as if the two were playing a game of tug-of-war, and neither was prepared to give up and be subdued by the other.

The onlookers broke out in a cold sweat. None of them even dared to breathe. They truly did not expect that Mrs. Hunt, the woman who had always been so gentle, well-behaved, and compliant, would have the guts to go against Mr. Hunt. Was she so unafraid because she had a special status as his wife? Haze�s eyes darted back and forth between Stefan and Renee. Suddenly, a mischievous smile appeared on his handsome face, which had been partially hidden by the brim of his cap.

Fascinating� Extremely fascinating!

�Ah, it suddenly occurred to me that there really is something wrong with my codes!�

He then turned to the crowd and laughingly said, �I�m incredibly sorry, everyone. I�ve made a fool of myself! I�ll go back and improve. I promise that there won�t be any mistakes next time!�

And just like that, the tense atmosphere instantly relaxed.

Haze�s answer made everyone heave a sigh of relief.

Earen Renee secretly loosened her clenched fists. It would not have been that big of a deal had her secret identity been exposed, but if Stefan really did check through her phone, then the secret of her pregnancy would be out � and that would open up a huge can of worms!

She furtively glanced at Haze and saw him smiling and laughing like he had nothing to hide. She was confused. Why had he decided to help her?

�In any case,� said Haze, �I�m sure that Phoenix is one hundred percent not Mrs. Hunt. Do you guys want to know why?�

The crowd stared at Haze in eager curiosity.

�Because,� he explained with a half-smile, �Phoenix�s coding style has always been meticulous and neat. They were never sloppy. A person who could write that kind of code would never cling to a cheating man!� JrNovels.com
