Stefan stepped forward calmly, his arms crossed over his chest.

Grandpa Hunt was already upset, and seeing Stefan in this nonchalant state made him even angrier.

�Didn�t you hear what she said? She no longer has feelings for you, and she won�t get back together with you. In fact, she even suspects that you killed Tristan! How terrible of a husband were you? that she�d think of you this way?�

�She�s just too dumb to tell right from wrong,�

Stefan scoffed, his voice asncold as ice. If it hadn�t been for the bigger picture, he�d have come out and knocked Renee on the head so she�d be able to think clearly.

�Hmph, you�re the real idiot here!� Timothy scowled. �Her impression of you was already at an all-time low, and now you�re faking your own death?!"

�What the hell were you thinking? You were already growing apart, but this time, you�ve really dug your own grave! How are you going to mend things now?�

Stefan replied, �I have my plans. She hated me when I was alive anyway, so I can just use another identity to stay by her side and win her heart again.�

�Have you lost your mind?!� Timothy was furious.

�Who do you think you are? In everyone�s eyes, you�re already dead! Do you think she�d stay single forever just to mourn your death? I don�t care what you�re planning, I just need you to clean this mess up! The more you stall, the harder it gets to deal with! You�ll regret it if she marries a random man just to fill the hole in her heart!�

Stefan�s gaze grew cold, his possessiveness showing as he growled, �I will never allow that!�

The reason he chose to fake his own death was so that he could capture all of H Group�s rivals. So far, the plan seemed to be going extremely well, and all they needed to do was wait for the right moment to seize those who were against the company.

However, his grandfather�s words, along with Renee�s, made the man feel slightly panicked.

He was worried that they�d drift further apart, so much so that they wouldn�t have the chance to get back together again.

After all, the woman was even starting to suspect that he had murdered his own brother.

He was completely innocent when it came to his brother�s death � his grandfather was the one who had ordered him to destroy the evidence from back then.

�Grandpa, I still don�t understand why you asked me to destroy the footage of Tristan getting shot, and why you wouldn�t allow me to hire someone to investigate it� Now look at what�s happened , I can�t clear my name at all! It looks like I�m a cold-blooded murderer who killed my own brother just to inherit the company!� Stefan sighed.

Moreover, now that he was �dead�, he wouldn�t be able to explain himself to Renee, no matter the accusation.

�This is so frustrating!� He thought.

�I have my reasons. And if what you saw was an accident, it will be known as an accident as well. People who truly know you wouldn�t doubt your innocence, so I�m sure Ren will come to the right conclusion.� JrNovels.com
