To be precise, she was impregnable now, so she did not have to show anyone any respect.

�You�re so arrogant! I have no idea why the Hunt family would let an uncivilized woman like you marry Stef in the first place!�

Seraphina Murphy took the opportunity to belittle Renee. �No wonder you failed to win over Stef�s heart even after four years of marriage. You�re not the type that Stef likes at all. He likes dignified, cultured and gentle women. You don�t fit those criteria in the slightest!� �You�re rude to Stef first, so don�t blame me for teaching you a lesson on his behalf!�

After saying that, Seraphina grabbed a decanter and tried to splash the red wine inside on Renee�s face.

�Leave her alone!�

Stefan, who had remained silent all this time, reached out and grabbed Seraphina�s wrist. He said coldly, �What happened this evening is my fault. If she likes to hang out with snakes and rodents, who am I to object? I shouldn�t have interfered.�

�What?�

Seraphina did not want to let Renee off so easily. She yelled, �Why are you protecting her even after what she did to you? This is the only thing I dislike about you � you�re too soft-hearted. I�m the only one who cares about you!�

Renee almost threw up. She could not stand it anymore. She said to the waiter, �Check, please.�

Then, she turned to Stefan and Seraphina and said, �You two take your time. It�s my treat. I have some business to take care of, so see ya!�

�You�re gonna leave just like that? You haven�t apologized to Stef for splashing wine on him yet!�

Seraphina Murphy refused to let the matter rest. Stefan sat back down expressionlessly and went back to his meal as if nothing happened. He said in a cold, arrogant voice, �Since it�s Miss Everheart�s treat, let�s not waste her generosity. Sit down and enjoy the meal with me.�

����

Renee paused for a moment, then left coldly without saying another word.

�Aah! I�m so mad! I�m so mad! Stefan Hunt, you bastard! I hope you choke on that steak!�

After Renee left the restaurant, she finally couldn�t maintain her dignified demeanor anymore. She started cursing Stefan out.

She never knew that he could be this shameless. After making her so mad that she almost had a stroke, he actually had the gall to sit back down and enjoy the food she paid for with Seraphina Murphy, who kept finding faults with her. What did he take her for? His credit card?!

Renee hated how easily she let him affect her emotions even after all these years and even though she had maintained a clear mind� It made her feel useless and powerless.

Stefan Hunt was the bane of her existence. Nothing good happened whenever she ran into him. She must stay as far away from him as possible from now on.

Thinking of that, her emotions finally calmed down a bit. If she could not deal with him, she could just avoid him, right? JrNovels.com
