Chapter 25
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âMr. Hunt, calm down! Leave Mrs. Hunt alone!â
âYou know that domestic abuse is a crime, right? Mrs. Hunt is such a great person! She loves you so much too! How could you ever bring yourself to hit her!?â
âWeâll quit our jobs if you dare to hit her one more time! And weâll file a lawsuit against you for the abuse youâve put her through!â
These people were employees of H Group, specifically the ones Renee handed her lunchboxes in secret to. Looks like the few extra snacks Renee gave them finally paid off.
At the time, Stefan and Renee were still in a rather⦠inconvenient position.
Looking from afar, it seemed that Stefan was forcing himself on Renee, using his tall figure as an advantage to her feeble body. To an outsider, it was truly an infuriating sight.
Stefanâs actions had caused an uproar. Even his most trusted assistant, Elijah, was on Reneeâs side this time.
âMr. Hunt, I have to be real with you here.â
âMrs. Hunt is a great person, you should know that. For the past few years, sheâs been nothing but a diligent and responsible wife. And yet you cheated on herâ¦â
âTo think youâre now refusing to sign the settlement⦠This is just crossing the line!â Elijah continued as he scowled at Stefan, without an ounce of worry that he might be sacked for insubordination. 1 âWait, could it be that⦠youâre still in love with Mrs. Hunt? Is that why youâre refusing to sign the papers, Mr. Hunt?â
Hearing this, everyone started nodding along.
âThat must be it! Mr. Huntâs cheating was just a stupid mistake on his end, he still loves Mrs. Hunt after allâ¦â i âHow could his mistress be any better than Mrs. Hunt? He just wanted to spice up their relationship!â
âMr. Hunt, donât be shy. Just admit that you still love her! If you apologize to Mrs. Hunt sincerely, sheâll surely forgive you!â
âIf I were you, Iâd get on my knees right now! It might be a little embarrassing, but your ego is nothing compared to the woman you love!â
Although the employees knew that their statements could cost them their jobs, they were giving their all in order to save their OTP.
Renee didnât expect things would go this way.
A few minutes later, she snapped back to reality and chimed in as well. âDo you really still love me, darling? Is that why youâre being difficult on purpose? It was all just to make me stay by your side?â
âIf you do love me, you can just tell me that! You donât have to hide your feelings at all! Your employees are right, you know? Iâll forgive you if youâre willing to beg for my forgiveness!â
âRenee Everheart!â Stefan glared at the sly woman, his face twisted from sheer anger.
He suddenly realized that he was completely helpless when it came to Reneeâs antics, despite his experience within the business field.
âStop overthinking! How could I possibly love you?!â
Stefan refused to let this madness go on. He retrieved the amended divorce papers from his drawer under his office desk, and with a quick scribble, he signed his name at the bottom of the paper.
âYouâre only doing this just to get my signature anyway! If thatâs what you want, here!â he said as he flung the document toward Renee coldly. 1 At the very same time, Renee ended the live stream. With a raised eyebrow, she smiled as she picked up the papers. âThank you so much, Mr. Hunt. If itâs possible, please initiate the ownership transfer as soon as you A can.
She admitted to herself that she was indeed hurt by the manâs words, but it didnât matter, as she had gotten what she wanted in the end.
With the document in hand, Renee left the H Group headquarters with a satisfied grin. 1 âMrs. Hunt, wait!â Elijah called out to her from behind.
âWhat is it?â Renee asked as she turned to look at him.
Whenever Stefan had something to discuss, he would always have Elijah relay the message. Hence, they were no strangers. In fact, Renee found him to be rather easygoing.
âItâs nothing, actually. I just wanted to apologize to you for what Mr. Hunt didâ 1 âAnd⦠Iâd like to ask why you want Hunts & Co⦠Donât you know that the three lawyers working there are unreliable people? The law firm is basically worthless at this point! You realize youâre basically getting nothing out of this divorce, right?â âWellâ¦â Renee smiled mysteriously. âYouâll understand, soon enough.â
