Chapter 23
Despite being married for four years, they rarely stood this close to each other. The air between them abruptly rose in temperature,
Renee’s face was bright red as she tried her best to regulate her breathing.” Yeah, so I hope you can give us your blessing, Mr. Hunt. I’ve given you my blessing after all.”
Stefan’s eyes darkened, huffing coldly. “Who is it? Is it Geronimo Osborne’s youngest son? If I remember correctly, that guy’s three years younger than you. You know that, right?”
His words alone were enough to upset Renee. ‘What? Is he implying that I’m too old? Then why can other men date girls who are decades younger than them, but women can’t date someone just a couple of years younger?’
“And what about it? Why does it matter to you? Besides… don’t you know that a lot of younger guys prefer mature women now? Oh, how hard it was to resist his adorable efforts when he was pursuing me.”
“I don’t care if you’re dating a younger guy, but Liam Osborne is off-limits.” Stefan narrowed his eyes, his tone stern. “Ask around and you’ll see how much of a womanizer he is! A modest girl like you won’t be able to handle him.”
Renee didn’t understand what Stefan meant by that. She thought to herself, ‘We’re getting a divorce, so why would he care about who I’m dating?’
‘Isn’t he the almighty Stefan Hunt, the cold and distant ice block? When did he become so concerned about his ex-wife’s love life?’
‘You don’t have a say in whether I can handle him or not. So what if I like womanizers? Doesn’t that make the relationship all the more exciting?” she exclaimed.
Not wanting to drag this on any longer, Renee continued urging for his signature. “I know you’re a busy man, so just sign the papers! Let’s just get this over with!” 2
“Did you lose it? Doesn’t matter, I have the pdf file right here, we can just have it printed right away…” said Renee as she pulled out her phone. Her impatience to obtain his signature irked Stefan.
While their marriage was loveless, one still couldn’t deny the fact that they had been legally married for four whole years. To Stefan, it felt like someone stole something that belonged to him, and it didn’t sit well with him. 2
‘What if I don’t sign it?” Stefan said as he arrogantly planted his hands into his pockets.
“Seriously?” Renee scoffed. 1
‘As expected, men suck! It doesn’t matter if he’s good-looking, it doesn’t matter how decent he seems. They’re all f*cking pr*cks!’
“If that’s how the game you want to play, don’t mind if I do!” Renee gritted her teeth as her fingers danced on her phone screen quickly.
‘What are you doing?” Stefan asked with furrowed brows.
He was starting to realize this woman wasn’t as gentle and obedient as he remembered. There were too many sides of her that he’s never seen before.
Moments later, Renee smirked as she pointed her phone at Stefan.
“I’m live streaming,” she replied.
“What the hell?” Stefan was confused by what the woman was trying to achieve.
On the other side, Renee started wailing all of a sudden, as if she was being starred in a soap opera.
“Everyone… Please help me out, I… I can’t do this anymore!”
‘This is my husband, Stefan Hunt… You may know him as the second son of the Hunt family in Beach City, or the CEO of H Group…
“I just… I just found out that he cheated on me! He even knocked up his mistress in the process! But he… he won’t sign our divorce settlement, saying that he refuses to give me a single penny!”
“Can the rich just do whatever they want now? It’s… just so unfair that he’s refusing me financial support, even though he’s the one at fault here!”
Stefan wondered if the woman had gone mad.
‘She couldn’t possibly think that this little act would fool anyone, right? Is this her feeble attempt at threatening me?*
However, he soon received a panicked call from Elijah. ‘What’s happening, Mr. Hunt? Why is Mrs. Hunt crying on our company’s official account?” 1
‘There are about thirty million viewers by now, and everyone’s calling you a cheating bastard in the comments! They’re even saying they’d take down every project H Group is currently working on!” 3
“Is this your way of flirting with each other? Just get a room! The stream isn’t doing us any good, please just shut it off!” 1
Stefan was still in a state of disbelief. He grabbed his laptop and logged into H Group’s official Facebook account. 2 ‘She really did it! The stream on the account is clearly my office! And it’s beingUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
streamed on every platform!’
