Chapter 91
Seeing his look of despair, Renee felt like laughing, although she knew it was terrible thing to do.
Hahaha! Every dog has its day. It was rare to see the cold and arrogant iceberg wither like this. How could she easily let the chance go?
Renee lowered her eyes and tried to put on a serious expression. “Yes. Accidents happen, you know. Life is full of ups and downs. That’s life.”
Stefan closed his eyes and said, “Get out. I want to be alone.”
“I can’t do that. This happened to you because you came to save me. I’ll definitely share this burden with you.”
Renee’s kindness was met with Stefan’s ruthless rejection. “No need!”
‘Are you sure?”
“Get out!” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Stefan’s words were so cold they seemed to have come from the north pole. “I don’t want to say the same thing twice!”
Right then, Stefan’s phone rang. It kept ringing without showing any signs of stopping, as if it would keep going as long as Stefan did not answer.
“Mr. Hunt… I’ll get out and leave you alone now.”
Renee raised her eyes and said “kindly”.
The phone continued to ring. Stefan’s handsome face had gone extremely dark. Finally, he could not stand it anymore and said in a low voice, “Bring me the phone!”
“What’s that, Mr. Hunt? I couldn’t hear you very clearly.”
Renee put her hands behind her ears. She looked very mischevious.
“I said… bring me the phone!”
Stefan clenched his teeth and forced out one word at a time.
Of course he knew that she was doing it on purpose, but what could he do? He needed her help!
Renee smiled and said, “That’s right. If you need help, speak up. If you’re too proud to ask for help, you’re the one who will suffer in the end.”
While saying that, she took out Stefan’s phone from his suit pocket and placed it by his car.
The caller was Elijah, Stefan’s personal assistant. The moment the call was answered, Elijah blurted out in a rush, “Mr. Hunt, where are you? We haven’t been able to contact you since you left the Gourmet Pavilion restaurant. Your mother has been calling me to ask me to remind you that your grandfather will be arriving in Beach City tonight. She said you must not forget to pick him up from the airport!”
Stefan frowned and said coldly, “Tell the public that I’m on vacation with my wife abroad and I won’t be making any public appearances for a while.”
“A vacation abroad? You and Miss Everheart? You two…”
“That’s all!”
Stefan rudely interrupted Elijah’s questioning and used his eyes to signal to Renee to hang up the phone.
Renee did so obediently.
“Grandpa Hunt is returning home tonight? I wonder how his surgery went. Do you want to give him a call so that he wouldn’t worry about you?”
The only person Renee felt sorry for in the divorce was Grandpa Hunt, who treated her like a granddaughter.
He’s also the only reason why she still maintained a somewhat peaceful relationship with
Stefan.
“No need!”
Stefan’s expression was cold, but his face was filled with pain.
He’s a useless quadriplegic now. He did not want to have any contact with the outside world.
Seeing him so depressed, Renee’s heart softened. Maybe she had taken the joke a bit too far.
She was about to confess to him when she heard Stefan’s arrogant voice say, “From now one, you’ll be personally taking care of me. I’ll pay you well. You’ll get at least ten times the profit of
Hunts & Co. Law Firm.”
He disliked being touched by women, but if it’s Renee… he seemed to be fine with it.
Renee was speechless.
It really was hard for a person to change. Even after becoming a quadriplegic, he’s still
ordering people around like a CEO. He thought money could solve every problem?
“What if I refuse?”
Renee said coldly.
