The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Chapter 237
Stefan looked at Renee and asked casually, “So, what are your plans?”
Renee drank another mouthful of soup, then asked, “What plans?”
‘You can’t really stay in the business field forever, right? It’s a complicated and dangerous world, you won’t be able to handle it
for long,’ Stefan explained, as he had experienced the struggles within the industry as well.
He figured that a woman like her wouldn’t be able to bear the stress of managing a business. Although they were divorced, he
didn’t wish such an uneasy life on her.
’How would you know if I can’t handle it?'” Renee looked towards the man, a confident smile appearing on her face. “Just look at
me now, aren’t I doing well? Azure Group has only been established for a few months, and we were able to sign a big contract! I
even became the president of the Electronics Technology Association! Everything is going well as of now, so sorry for not seeing
the dangers in this field, I guess.”
‘You’re too naive!” The man shook his head, replying in a serious tone.” First, South Group is clearly a bomb waiting to explode.
Jerome South may have offered you a lot, but wait till it is time to reap profits. You’ll see just how heartless he can be then!
Besides, there is just so much power you can have in this industry. After being appointed as president all of a sudden, others
may find it unfair, even if I don’t! Being in the spotlight has consequences, you know? I advise you to leave this industry as soon
as possible, or you might have to face unthinkable consequences.”
Everything he said was based on his personal experience, and he genuinely hoped Renee could step out of this incredibly
painful path.
‘If you ever need money, just ask. We used to be husband and wife, alright? I will take responsibility in taking care of you for the
rest of your life,’
Stefan said sincerely, but was only met with Renee’s scoffing.
‘ Don’t you think it’s too late to be the nice guy now, Mr. Hunt? Besides, it’s pretty arrogant of you to assume that I won’t survive
in the industry. You think I have to completely rely on you to survive, don’t you?’
Stefan turned cold. ‘That’s not what I meant.”

’So what do you mean, huh?”
‘I just...” Stefan wanted to say something, but paused. His expression was cold as ice.
‘Don’t you remember how your parents died? Don’t you remember how the once renowned Everheart family met their downfall?
Do you think you are stronger than your parents were, or do you think you’re even stronger than me? Did you know that my
brother died right before my eyes? Did you know I couldn’t do anything to save him? Did you know I was forced to watch him
take his last breath?!”
While speaking, Stefan clenched his fists, his eyes red as tears started welling up in them. Tristan would always be the main
source of his pain and grief. His brother’s death was a constant reminder as to how weak and incompetent he was.
Hence, he really did not hope Renee would feel the same pain he did.
The woman finally realized that he was genuinely concerned about her, which made her feel quite guilty. “Umm, hey, you don’t
have to worry about me...’
She then took a deep breath and continued. ’I’ll just be honest with you. I actually never intended to make my mark on the
business industry either. It’s too tiring, and I just don’t have the energy to deal with everything.”
‘I just want to follow my plan and earn enough to live comfortably. Once my plan succeeds, I’m out of here.’
’Out of here?” Stefan stared at her and questioned further. “Where are you going?”
’Now, that’s confidential! All I can say is I’m not going to be in Beach City, that’s all.” The woman replied. She’d actually hoped to
leave in secret, but she didn’t mind coming clean at this point.
Stefan was visibly conflicted after hearing this. After a brief pause, he said frostily, “If you think leaving will make you happier,
then you should go.”
Even though he was unwilling to let Renee go, he knew that he was in no place to ask her to stay.
Their meal had been exceptionally peaceful. There wasn’t any resentment, arguments, or sarcasm this time. The two simply
looked past their past, and had a long conversation with each other, as if they were old friends...
As they were about to leave, Renee suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, with an odd scene playing before her. She immediately
grabbed Stefan’s arm, sounding rather nervous. “Stefan Hunt! Wait!’
