Chapter 71

Renee took a deep breath and walked into Stefan’s office.

Stefan’s slender body stood in front of the bright french window. His broad shoulders and long legs

gave him a dashing appearance.

However, the chilly air emanating from his entire body lowered the temperature in the office to a

freezing point.

It appeared the big iceberg knew everything now.

However, Renee did not panic. She calmly took out the share transfer contract and said to his back as

if nothing had happened, “Mr. Hunt, if you’re free right now, please sign this. We should split up the

assets cleanly now so that the divorce can proceed without a hitch.”

Stefan turned around. The sun added a bit of warmth to his cold, handsome face, making him look

even more charming.

“Why are you in such a hurry to get the divorce? Don’t you think you should explain yourself first?”

“Explain myself?”

Renee’s expression was calm. She had nothing to lose anymore. “There’s nothing to explain. Number

one, Elon Barnes asked you for $7 million of his own accord. I have nothing to do with it. You can

believe what you want.”

“Number two, the vulnerabilities in H Group’s customer database have always been there. It’s only a

matter of time before it’s attacked. I’m just making you aware of the ticking time bomb in advance. If

you want to retaliate, feel free to do so.”

“Number three, the divorce agreement stated in black and white that the law firm belongs to me. Even if

you don’t sign the papers now, the court will eventually enforce it anyway.”

Stefan stared at Renee with a deep gaze and a very complicated expression. After a long while, he

coldly said, “What are you talking about?”

“Was my explanation not clear enough? Make your move! Stop wasting time!”

Renee expected that Stefan, who always paid his debts, would not let her get away scot-free. She

could only wait for him to take action so that she could deal with it.

St

rowned and said in a chilly voice, “The hacker just now said you’re his ex-girlfriend, e reason why you

agreed to the divorce so easily is so that you two can get back together… I want to hear your

explanation.”

“What?! His ex-girlfriend?!”

Renee was so surprised that she almost choked on her own saliva.

“That’s what he told you?”

“What else should he have told me?”

“Lies! Absolute lies!”

Renee raised two fingers and said sincerely, “I swear, I don’t even know him that well. If I’m lying, my

future husband will die a long, painful death!”

Stefan: “…”

Somehow, he felt like he was the one being cursed.

However, judging by Renee resolute attitude, she was probably telling the truth.

His gloomy face softened a little.

“Umm… besides that nonsense, did he say anything else?”

Renee asked carefully.

“No.”

“Good. Goood.”

Renee breathed a sigh of relief.

A false alarm! It was a false alarm!

It appeared that, even though Haze always had a lackadaisical attitude, he was not that bad of a

person. Maybe this was what they call “honor among thieves”.

Stefan suddenly walked up to Renee and forced her step back towards the desk. He asked in a low

voice, “From the way you say it, it sounds like there were a lot of stories between you two?”

“Absolutely not!”

Renee shook her head, her cheeks turning slightly red.

Why did this guy suddenly move so close?

at did you two talk about while you were alone earlier?”

As he said that, he moved even closer to her.

Through the clothes and fabric, she could feel the warmth of his body and his heartbeat. The

atmosphere in the room was strange.

‘Dammit, what is this situation? Is it really appropriate for two people who are about to get a

divorce to be this close?’

Just as Renee thought he was going to kiss her, Stefan returned to his usual aloof demeanor. He

seemed to be in a good mood as he said, “Give me the papers.”
