Regret soon consumed Stefan after the divorce. He never expected that his boring ex-wife would move on overnight, and be living her best life. Not only did a young heir of an influential family claim to be her underling, but a famous celebrity confessed to being her fan as well. Even one of the wealthiest people in the country referred to her as their senior…‘I don’t care how strong your background is, Renee Everheart. I’ll make sure to tear down your walls!’ With that, the second son of the Hunt family set out to protect the woman in secret. Stefan: “My ex-wife is so fragile that she can’t even stand on her own two feet, you mustn’t take advantage of her.”To which everyone replied, “Who would dare to mess with her? She’d rip our heads off if we ever get into a minor disagreement!”Stefan: “My ex-wife is far too naive, you shouldn’t toy with her feelings.” And yet people would say, “I’m sorry? We’ve never seen a naive woman act so unapologetically!”Stefan: “Come, darling. Let me introduce you to this powerful figure!”To which the powerful figure responded with a deep bow, “No, no, she’s the boss around these parts! I hope you accept my sincerest admiration!”Since then, Stefan has had to live a double life. He was an almighty CEO during the day, but come night time, he’d be sobbing on his knees, hoping to win Renee’s heart back.
View MoreStefan's words made Renee and Quinton look at each other in dismay. They had no idea what he was talking about. Stefan explained his idea. "Simply put, Joanne's fear came from this woman's suppression and disrespect. It traumatized her. If this demon respects Joanne and apologizes to her, do you think she'll feel at ease instead?" "Oh, I get it." Renee instantly understood what Stefan was trying to say. In short, whoever started the trouble should end it. Joanne needed her bully to eliminate her fear to feel better.Talia was her bully. If she did not make peace with Joanne, Joanne would always think of her, which would be more painful. It would make Joanne emotional. Hence, Talia was quite significant in helping Joanne to resolve her trauma. "You got it?" Quinton was stupefied. He frowned and asked, "What do you mean? What is he trying to say?""I don't understand, either. I feel you." Standing in a corner, Elijah suddenly found himself sharing Quinton's thoughts even though
"This is none of your business. Cut the crap!" Quinton glared viciously at Stefan.Initially, he and Stefan were sworn enemies because of Joanne. Hence, Stefan's interruption infuriated Quinton more."Don't do this, Quinton." Renee tried to persuade Quinton to calm down before she asked Stefan, "What do you have in mind?" Stefan did not sink to Quinton's level. A long sigh escaped him as he looked at Joanne, who was on the verge of having a mental breakdown. "Joanne is traumatized because she was mentally tortured instead of physically injured. If you want her to avenge herself using the same method, it'll only traumatize her more. You can't change anything. You'd just give her more pain."Renee agreed with Stefan. "I agree. We can't use this kind of extreme solution, given Joanne's current state of mind. If you go on, I think she'll lose her mind." Joanne appeared like she was dying, on the verge of losing her mind. If she were asked to take revenge on her past bully, it woul
"I don't want to! Let me go! Let me go now!"Joanne had been silent, but at that time, it seemed like her inner demon was released. She was very agitated as she kept screaming and struggling in Quinton's arms.Such a scene attracted a lot of students. Many of them took out their phones to record it. "Quinton, stop!" Renee rushed over to stop Quinton and said nervously, "Can't you see how frightened Joanne is? Stop forcing her!"She forcefully snatched Joanne from Quinton.Seeing Renee, Joanne seemed to have found her savior. She firmly hugged Renee and refused to let go. "There, there! You're fine now. No one can harm you. We'll protect you here." Renee gently patted Joanne's back to pacify the latter as if the latter were a child. "Let go of her!"Quinton frowned and said to Renee seriously, "You don't understand. People can only grow after defeating their most fearful thing. This woman had been bullying Joanne since high school, traumatizing her. Her thinking was changed.
Elijah scratched his head. He still didn't understand why they went to this deserted, remote high school in the fishing village.Renee flexed her fingers, her tone melancholic. "Joanne was bullied here. I think Quinton wants to make the bully have a taste of her medicine. It's like what was said in the movie. We can only regain our dignity by returning to our native land.""Oh, I see!" Elijah was enlightened. He looked at Stefan and Renee, thinking that they were a great couple who shared the same thought. Only compatible people would understand each other's hidden meanings with a little hint. The three of them successfully entered the school without many obstacles.It was noon, almost the time for the lessons to end. The school felt hot as the students lazily listened to the teachers."It's a small school. It doesn't cover a large area." Renee anxiously walked around the school but failed to find Quinton and the others. She was downcast. "Why can't I find him? Did we read
"Where do you think Quinton will take them to?" Renee didn't think she was stupid, but she felt she was right now. She was helpless. At this time, she subconsciously wanted to rely on Stefan. She felt that she could resolve any difficulty or get an answer to all questions as long as he was around.After some contemplation, Stefan raised a profound question. "Have you ever watched a movie called Malena?" Flabbergasted, Renee and Elijah looked at each other in dismay. They had no idea what Stefan wanted to express since he had made it sound quite profound and mysterious. Renee clenched her fists and held back to urge to scold him. She gnashed her teeth and asked, "Do you think it's time to talk about a movie now?" Things had gotten urgent, but he had the leisure to talk about a movie. It was hard not to wonder if he was trying to stall for time and wanted things to get worse for Quinton.Stefan appeared calm and kept describing the movie. "There's a line in the movie. We can on
"I don't know. Quinton doesn't think like normal people." Renee knew Quinton was unstable, so she kept the incident of Joanne being bullied a secret from Quinton for fear that he might lose control and do something irreversible.Unexpectedly, she failed to keep Stefan from blabbing about it to Quinton. Standing behind them, Elijah made a guess. "Could he have brought them home?" "It's possible." Renee frowned and fished her phone out to call Margaret. Margaret sounded anxious, too. "Ms. Ren, what happened to you? Why aren't you at home?""There's no one at home?" Renee asked. "You, Mr. Everheart, and Ms. Garcia aren't at home. What happened?" Although Margaret was a servant, she was considered an elder at home. She regarded Renee and Quinton as her children.She had made breakfast early for them, but none of them came. Even Joanne was gone.The two children kept asking her where Renee and Quinton were. They were gone from the night before. Margaret had no idea how to ex
