Chapter 305
‘200,000 dollars that it’s over!”
The outcome of Stefan and Renee’s love life instantly became the subject of a bet. From senior management to cleaners, the
entire H Group enthusiastically participated in it. They all looked forward to the pay day!
CEO’s Office.
“What’s going on?”
Stefan’s originally calm expression immediately faltered the moment the door closed. He asked Francine urgently, “Who’s Renee
running away with?”
Francine could tell from Stefan’s reaction that her iceberg of a son had truly fallen in love this time.
She did not know whether to be happy or not at that.
*1 don’t know who that guy is. He’s quite tall and handsome and has a wild feel to him. He’s completely different from you. If
Renee’s taste has really changed, you’re in trouble...”
Francine told him honestly.
Stefan was emotional, but he pretended not to care. He shrugged and said casually, ’So what if her taste has changed? We’re
already divorced. She’s free to like whatever type of man she wants. It’s none of my concern.”
“You brat! Are you really gonna act tough in front of me?!”
Francine felt the urge to kick Stefan.
Rather than her good genes, her emotional idiot of a son had inherited her pride instead.
“If you really don’t care, then sure, let her get away. Don’t let me catch you crying into your blanket at night.”
Francine exclaimed angrily, “That good-looking guy said he’s gonna take Renee to see his parents. He didn’t look like he was
lying. If you have the balls, go get her back right now!”
Stefan’s heart suddenly tightened. He asked tentatively, “Was the man Liam Osborne?”
“No!’
Francine said, “If it was that Osborne brat, I wouldn’t be so worried. Renee and Liam Osborne were obviously just fooling
around. They’re not serious...
■
’But this good-looking guy is different. He has an aura about him, so he should have a considerable background, at least on par
with yours!”
It was precisely because he gave her a strong sense of crisis that she immediately rushed here to urge Stefan to go get his wife
back.
Stefan’s handsome face was cold and silent.
‘How impressive, Renee Everheart. It’s only been three months since we divorced, but your suitors already come knocking at
your door one after another. There are so many of them that the door must be breaking down by now!’
When Francine saw Stefan keeping quiet, she said, “But don’t be intimidated. After all, you and Renee were married for four
years. No other man can match that...’
“Also, I went to look for her today to probe around and see how she really feels about you. I don’t think she’s moved on from you
yet. It’s just that there’s Briar standing between you two, and she cant stand that. She made it clear that there can be only one
between her and Briar. Maybe you should think of a way to get rid of Briar.”
Stefan’s eyes turned cold. He asked, “Did she really say that?”
“That’s right. She can’t tolerate Briar!”
Francine shook her head and said, “I can understand where she’s coming from. If I really love someone, I wouldn’t be able to
stand it either. So... you must abandon one of them.”
“I won’t do anything to Briar.”
Stefan’s attitude was firm.
This confused Francine.
“Son, what are you thinking? You obviously don’t like Briar, so why are you protecting her at the cost of hurting the person you
like?”
“There are more than affection and love in this world. There are also things like responsibility and morality... If she really detests
Briar to that extent, it can only mean that we’re not actually a good fit.”
Stefan said with clenched fists.
Francine found his words hard to understand. “Then what are you going to do now? Are you really gonna let Renee meet with
that guy’s parents? Are you sure you’re okay with that?”
