Chapter 79

Upon leaving the bar, Renee said goodbye to Zack and the other lawyers and stood alone by the

roadside to wait for her ride.

The cool night breeze brushed against her cheeks, making her feel refreshed.

Her figure was graceful in the white dress, her hair fluttering slightly in the wind like a waterfall. There

was not much emotion on her delicate face, but there was a hint of sadness there, as if it hid many

stories.

Quite a few men stopped their cars and either honked or whistled at her, wanting to take her for a ride,

but she scared them away with her fierce gaze.

Another car stopped nearby. Renee was ready to roll her eyes again. The window slowly rolled down to

show Stefan inside.

Her gaze changed from a fierce one to a cold one, as if she did not even know him.

“Need a ride?”

Stefan invited in a low voice.

“Nope, wouldn’t want you to go out of your way!”

A direct refusal from Renee.

Stefan: ” ”

Go out of his way? They lived next to each other.

But, it seemed the woman’s dislike of him was obvious. She was not even trying to hide it.

What Stefan could not figure out was, if she really had no feelings for him, how could she become the

author of the most popular fanfic about them? She did not seem like she had multiple personality

disorder.

There’s only one explanation – she’s pretending!

Upon coming to that conclusion, Stefan’s mood suddenly brightened.

He did not even mind Renee publicly embarrassing him in the bar earlier anymore. He told himself that

it was because women always acted contrary to how they really felt.

With his long fingers on the steering wheel, Stefan tilted his head slightly and told Renee, “Get in the

car. I’ll tell you some things about the Hunts & Co. Law Firm. The law firm isn’t as simple as you think it

is.”

“I’m alright, thanks.”

Renee smiled and lifted her chin high like a swan, aloof and proud. “I think I can handle it, at least

better than you can.”

Stefan’s eyes darkened for a moment. He said, “You really think everything would be smooth sailing

after you took care of Zack Rosenwell with some petty tricks? The one who’s really difficult to deal with

in Hunts & Co. isn’t him.”

Renee knew Stefan was talking about Sandra Lee, the partner she had yet to meet.

The career woman with a strong attitude and outstanding abilities was the true backbone of

Hunts & Co.

If Renee could not get past the obstacle that was Sandra Lee, Hunts & Co. would still be like a hot

potato that she could not eat nor throw away!

Stefan’s cold eyes were as sharp as a hawk’s. He did not miss the slightest change in Renee’s

expression.

He saw her doubts. Therefore, he generously gave her the chance to choose again.

“The divorce agreement hasn’t come into effect yet. If you’re regretting it, get on the car and we’ll

renegotiate the distribution of assets. I’ll agree to any request you have as long as it’s not

unreasonable. There’s no need to use your uncle as a cover.”

In Stefan’s opinion, he was already doing the best he could as a future ex-husband. At the very least,

he never thought of treating her unfairly in terms of money.

Renee lifted her thin eyebrows slightly, her lips curled into a faint smile, “Thank you, Mr. Hunt, but rest

assured from the moment I agreed to the divorce, every decision I made and

every

word I said came from the bottom of my heart. I will never regret them.”

The arrow had already been let fly. How could a dead heart come back to life with only a few good

words?

Stefan narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to discern whether her words were true.

At that moment, a silver sports car pulled up from behind.

“Sorry, my ride is here…”

Renee swayed past Stefan’s car. She smiled at him and said, “By the way, please don’t be late to

the divorce certificate in a week’s time, Mr. Hunt.”
