“How can I help?”

Renee looked helpless, the confessed, “I tried to plead for him earlier, but Grandpa stopped me from

saying anything. He even warned me. If I nag again, Grandpa will punish me with him. There’s really

nothing I can do to help,”

Rence thought she had done enough as Stefan’s ex-wife. How could she get herself into trouble for

Stefan’s sake? She realized that her feelings for him were not that deep after all.

Lurch was glad to see Renee softening up and hurriedly said, “You don’t have to ask Old Mr. Hunt for

mercy. You just have to help Master Hunt cheat,”

“Cheat?”

“Simply put, you just have to secretly take care of Master Hunt, Only you can help with this. Old Mr.

Hunt dotes on you so much that even if he catches you, he won’t punish you. If we try to help, that’ll be

a different story.”

After saying that, Lurch quickly placed the medicine and dinner in a box and handed it to

Renee.

“Mrs. Hunt. Whether Master Hunt can get through this will depends on you now. I’d like to thank you on

behalf of the family!”

“It’s… Isn’t it a bad idea?”

Rence knew she should have refused, but her action said otherwise. It was as if someone controlled

her hands as she took the box. Her legs refused to listen to her, and she couldn’t stop herself from

following Lurch to the memorial chamber.

Perhaps actions did indeed speak louder than words.

It was dark at night.

The Hunt family memorial chamber was erected next to the Hunt Residence as a separate building

standing on its own. There was dedicated staff for cleaning and maintenance during the day, but it was

eerie and cold with only two lights on at night.

Renee could see Stefan’s figure from afar. He knelt with his back straight in the middle of the memorial

chamber. His white shirt was stained with blood and looked more severe than

Lurch’s photo.

“This fool. He’s too honest. His back is so straight. Does he think he’s filming a movie?!”

Renee tightened her fingers slightly. She did not want to admit it, but deep down in her heart,

she was still a little worried about him.

Lurch sighed, looking heartbroken. “It can’t be helped. Master Hunt has been strong-willed since

young. He respects Old Mr. Hunt and has never defied him. He probably wants to use this to prove his

determination to be with that woman…

”

‘Anyway, we’ll be counting on you for the next few days,” Lurch said and gave a look to the man

guarding the door.

The guard immediately turned away and looked up at the stars.

Meanwhile, Renee carried the box and slipped into the chamber with ease.

Stefan did not turn around when he heard the movement. He continued kneeling with a firm posture,

seemingly unmoved. However, he was seriously injured. Without having a single drop of water and

food, his forehead was clammy, and he looked frail.

“Ahem!” Renee did not know how to break the silence, so she cleared her throat awkwardly. 1

Stefan, however, maintained his firm posture, unmoved. It was as if he had guessed that Renee was

coming.

“Get out!”

Stefan’s stony voice echoed in the empty chamber. He seemed particularly hard-hearted. ” Outsiders

aren’t allowed into the Hunt family’s memorial chamber.”

“You!” Renee was infuriated by his words. Just listen to that. How rude! Was that even acceptable?

She brought him food, water, and medicine out of kindness, only to be treated this way?! How could he

be so rude?!

“I didn’t want to come. Lurch said you were dying and begged me to come and save you. Otherwise, I

wouldn’t have bothered… How ungrateful!”

“What does my well-being have anything to do with you?”

Stefan was still the same cold and heartless man, repeatedly rejecting others. “Haven’t you gone

through so much trouble just to see me in this state?” he growled. “Why are you pretending to be kind?”

“What? What are you talking about?” Renee was confused. She thought Stefan was simply accusing

her, shooting her randomly like an out-of-control machine gun.

“You’re still faking it!” Stefan sneered. “You deliberately gave Granpa a pearl as a hint of my child with

Briar. Then, you dropped the divorce certificate to let Grandpa know we were divorced.”

“I…” Renee was speechless, unable to explain herself.

How could she have known about how imaginative Old Mr. Hunt could be? Somehow, he associated a

pearl as a gift to the child. She kept the divorce certificate carefully, and the last thing she expected

was for it to fall out of her hands.

“You’ve hooked up with other men, but you’re still playing the victim and pushing all the

blame on me…”

Stefan’s gaze turned steelier. “I underestimated you, Renee!” he croaked between parched lips.

Renee could not argue, so she just stopped. “Yes, I’m devious and cunning. Believe whatever you

want!”

She placed the box with medicine and meal next to Stefan and turned around to leave. Anyway, they

divorced and were strangers again. Even if this would make her look bad, it no longer

mattered.
