The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Chapter 611
Stefan Hunt sat there like a king, dazzling and charming the people around him. It was clear that the man was a born leader –
nobody could take their eyes off him. Even the reporters from popular media companies who were initially only interested in
getting their hands on sensational news were now so captivated by Stefan’s charisma that they forgot to take notes.
Sitting amidst hundreds of other guests in the audience, Renee’s icy gaze was locked on the man on the stage. Her fists were
clenched so tightly that her fingernails dug deep into her flesh.
So, Stefan Hunt had been alive all this time... and had now returned more powerful and arrogant than ever! It was truly a pity
that she’d spent all that time grieving and shedding tears for him. It was all for nothing! Renee felt like laughing at how foolish
she had been.
Xavier crossed his legs, looking as if he knew all along that this would happen.
“I can’t believe Stefan actually went through with his outrageous plan!” He exclaimed with a grin. “But I’ve got to give it to him –
this time he really managed to beat that slimeball Jovan Hunt! He went overboard with his little scheme, though; I didn’t think
he’d disappear for so long, especially with all those crazy rumors about him going around... He’s like one of those medieval
knights who’d endure torture and humiliation for the sake of victory!”
“You mean,” Renee said slowly, “you knew he was alive, and others knew it too? Was Alexander Hunt in on this too?”
“Of course!” Xavier replied enthusiastically. “It’s a huge undertaking, after all! He did give us hints that he was safe so we
wouldn’t be worried about him or do anything rash. If we’d done something, like go after Jovan, we’d never be able to lure out the
mastermind backing him...”
When Renee was silent, Xavier turned to her and asked hesitantly, “You didn’t actually think that he was dead, did you? Didn’t
Stefan drop you any hints?”
“No,” Renee shook her head, her face sullen with disappointment, “he didn’t. M
“No way... He wouldn’t possibly hide such a big thing from you! You’re the most important person in the world to him, so he
definitely would’ve hinted at something. Anybody would know that you’d be worried about him!”
Xavier blurted out, defending his friend even though he figured that Stefan had clearly not thought this through.

Stefan Hunt had dug his own grave, and Xavier couldn’t help him out of it.
Renee smiled bitterly, thinking how foolish she was to have worried about him. “Clearly, I’m nothing to him, so why should he
think of me when he decides to do something?”
“Um...” Xavier inwardly kicked himself, and hastily added, “That’s not what I meant, Renee... Maybe it’s because you mean so
much to him that he had to keep you in the dark about it. That way, it’d be more believable, and the target would definitely take
the bait.”
“So, I guess that just makes me one of the pawns in his plan, huh?” Renee sneered, now understanding why Jovan had taken
her to Stefan’s grave that day. Despite him wanting to boast about replacing Stefan, he probably wanted to see her reaction to
the news. When he saw how genuinely upset she was, he was then convinced that Stefan really was dead.
“Don’t say that, Renee! There’s always a misunderstanding between the both of you, and if you think that way, it’ll only get
worse! When are you both going to move past it?” Xavier protested.
“Never!” Renee snarled, her eyes shining with rage. “It will never be resolved, because from now on, Stefan Hunt and I will
forever be strangers to each other! If we ever cross paths in this dog-eat-dog world of business, it would be as competitors, not
friends, and if that happens, you can be sure that I’ll fight him to the death!”
Just as Renee finished her sentence, she noticed a microphone hovering near her mouth. Realization struck her, and she slowly
looked up to see everyone’s eyes on her, including Stefan’s...
