Chapter 1526

Author: Mizuki Sei
Stefan's late arrival at Hunt Enterprise upset the shareholders greatly. They were already unhappy with him because the sales report from the secretary had been dissatisfactory, and the atmosphere in the room was tense when he entered.

"You saw it, didn't you, Mr. Hunt? The profits for this year have plummeted, and our stock price has been decreasing. Undeniably, the company is on the verge of death. As the head of Hunt Enterprise, I wonder what your solution to this is." Shane Webb, one of the seven large shareholders, rarely appeared. He only came during the annual shareholder meeting, and he was always the most crafty and unkind. He never took Stefan seriously because he owned the most shares besides the Hunts.

"In the world of business, it's inevitable that profits will fluctuate. You never mentioned the dramatic rise in profits after Mr. Hunt took over Hunt Enterprise, and this is just a minor setback. Isn't it normal? The economy for the past two years has been bad, and most co

    "Why do you say that, Mr. Hunt? The purpose of this meeting is to identify problems. We've got many competitors, and the internal conflicts in this company are getting serious. Also, many of our talents have resigned. If we don't come up with something, it's only a matter of time before the company crashes and burns." Wesley added fuel to the fire, nearly exposing his idea of dismissing Stefan.Stefan glared at Wesley coldly and sneered, "So, Mr. Jennings, what do you think is a good solution to this?" "Well... I can't bring myself to say it!" When Wesley met Stefan's gaze, timidness got the better of him. He kept his head low and didn't dare to speak. Shane then took over and said boldly, "His idea is simple—he wants you to rest and get better, and we'll appoint someone else as the president of Hunt Enterprise."The conference room instantly became silent.However, Stefan remained calm. He smiled and said, "Mr. Jennings, is that what you meant?" Wesley waved anxiously. "I...

    All the shareholders looked at Jovan in shock."What? Isn't Mr. Jovan Hunt blind?""He was demoted from vice president because he looked frail, but he seems very energetic now!""I'm glad he's back. There's hope for Hunt Enterprise after all!"Everyone welcomed Jovan's return and hoped that he could replace Stefan to help Hunt Enterprise out of its predicament. Smiling, Jovan walked over to Stefan. "Stefan, I'm sorry you had to manage Hunt Enterprise alone all this while; it must have been tough on you. But I've recovered now, so I'm here to help you."Stefan stared at Jovan coldly, and when he saw Jovan's eyes, his heart skipped a beat. An unsettling theory emerged in his mind, but he didn't want to think about it. "Work well for Hunt Enterprise then. We're in the same boat, so if you can help revitalize the company, your return is more than welcome." "You're a generous and insightful man, Stefan. Don't worry—I won't let you down. If it's necessary, I might even take up your

    "I share the same opinion as Elijah—I think Hunt Enterprise should play safe instead of expanding its projects," Stefan said finally."Mr. Hunt, why have you become so conservative? Do you want this company to be knocked off its pedestal?" Wesley said to Stefan rudely."Calm down, gentlemen. I know why Stefan's become like this..." Jovan explained to the others, "You know that he was down and out for the past six months, and his body has become quite fragile. That's why his character has changed a lot, and he's become conservative. However, what you don't know is that he's had two brain surgeries, which would be a huge blow to anyone... Harry, send Stefan's medical report to all the shareholders.""Okay, Mr. Jovan." Harry nodded and sent Stefan's check-up report to the shareholders.Enraged, Elijah snarled at Jovan, "What are you doing?! Mr. Hunt's medical report is meant for his eyes only! What gives you the right to hand it out?" "Mr. Young, calm down. I agree that medical repo

    Jovan's words struck Stefan speechless. Stefan had only learned much later that it was all because of Jovan's eyes and blood that he had survived. Technically, he owed Jovan his life, so he couldn't argue with him about this. "If that's the case, we can experiment with your plan in the next season, Jovan. We'll see the effects after the expansion," Stefan sounded regal and dignified as he spoke and all the shareholders present listened to him attentively and dared not object."You're insightful, Stefan, and it seems like you truly care for the company… but there's something I'm curious about. What's your next step if the profits of the company do skyrocket after the next season?" Jovan faked a smile as he asked Stefan slyly. "What do you want me to do?" Stefan boldly met Jovan's gaze, staring him down. The atmosphere became tense. After a while, Shane said, "Mr. Stefan, we all know you're a generous man. If Mr. Jovan can help the company prosper, I'm sure you'd be willing to giv

    Jovan was getting more and more agitated. He had gotten what he wanted, but somehow, it felt like a loss.However, Stefan just ignored Jovan. While packing up his things, he fished his phone out and called Renee. His expression softened the moment the call was answered. "Hello, dear. How are you feeling today? What would you like to eat? I'll cook for you after I get home from work." Renee said something, making Stefan smile very sweetly. Before he hung up, he blew her a kiss, and he looked like a young boy in love.Jovan stared at Stefan in shock, watching his aloof cousin acting like a lovestruck fool. As Stefan was about to leave, Jovan blocked his way. "I heard that you've made up with Renee. Didn't you forget about her? Why are you back with her so quickly? Are you going to hurt her again?"Stefan and Renee had fallen out with each other, but in only one or two months, they had gotten back together and were more lovey-dovey than ever. Jovan found it unacceptable. He had tried

    Stefan returned to Everheart Manor right after the minute the meeting was over. He used to be a workaholic who always worked overtime until midnight, but now he was a good family man who didn't want to work overtime for even a minute. Since the president behaved that way, all his staff stopped working overtime too, creating a very good working environment for the company.On his way home, Stefan bought a bouquet and a good steak because he wanted to have a candlelight dinner with Renee that night. Although he was away for only half a day, it felt like half a year to him, and he missed Renee dearly. Coincidentally, Abby and Adie were away for two days because of a school trip, so Renee was alone at home with a female caretaker called Tess Perez, who was responsible for taking care of Renee. "Mr. Hunt, you're home." Tess was only a part-timer, so once Stefan got back, she packed up to leave.Stefan looked around the living room and the manor, but there was no sight of Renee. He turne

    Renee picked up the bouquet from the table and hugged it, smiling happily. "Are these roses? They smell so good. I'm sure they're very pretty." "I saw them on the way here. Roses suit you well because you're as pretty and passionate as them," Stefan said charmingly to Renee."You're so different now—everything you say is romantic! You never said anything like this in the past," Renee complained shyly. In the past, Stefan was serious and reserved, and never even spoke much to her. Things had not been easy for them all these years, so Renee cherished these moments greatly. Stefan helped Renee cut the steak up, knowing she might have a bit of difficulty with it.Renee lowered her head to eat, and pretended to ask nonchalantly, "Was it difficult for you during today's meeting?"Stefan paused and replied calmly, "Being president has never been easy. I'm used to it.""They must have made things difficult for you. After all, the internal conflicts in your company are now on the news."

    Stefan's reaction frightened Renee, and she realized she had gone too far. "I'm sorry. I just... didn't want you to regret it in the future," Renee mumbled. She knew he was a privileged man who was used to power and respect. If he one day became an outcast because of family and love, she would be heartbroken. She didn't want to see him sad."It's up to me if I'll regret it or not. I'm an adult, and I can tell what's important to me." Stefan held Renee's hand and said tenderly, "Our love is like a crystal—it's beautiful and pure but very fragile. We need to take care of it together; I don't want to see the love we finally found disappear. Can you have a little confidence in me?" "Okay, I'll stop trying to persuade you. We'll face the storm together." Renee took a deep breath, wondering if she was convincing him or herself. Honestly, she was the one with the most doubts and fears. Back then, she was brave because she still had her sight, and she knew she could help Stefan face any cha

    Adie was still a child, but he acted like a smart person and could see through a lot of things. He could guess why Austin took them to the Baldwin residence. He had also heard the servants of the Baldwin family rebuking Renee in secret. After combining various situations, he learned about what had happened between Renee and Justin. Despite everything, Justin could forgive Renee under such circumstances. He also treated Adie and Abby nicely. It proved that he was a very compassionate man. A small regret gripped Adie. He wondered why Renee didn't date Justin right from the start. If Renee were with such a kind man, she might be very happy. She wouldn't have to suffer through so many hardships either. "No, you don't know me. I always sweat the small stuff."Justin was displeased since Adie had claimed that he was a good guy, like Renee had. He heaved a long sigh and said, "But it's useless even if I sweat the small stuff, so I stop trying. It all comes down to fate. We can't forc

    Renee turned and found Jovan unscathed. Relief washed over her. She said grumpily, "It's none of your business!""Tsk! How cruel!" Jovan clutched his chest and pretended to be in deep pain. At the same time, he teased, "I know. Your soulmate is better. I'm so jealous of him, though he's still a fallback guy.""Go to hell, Jovan!" Jovan's nasty words drove Renee mad. She grabbed a piece of napkin, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at his face. "If I knew you'd talk so badly, I wouldn't be bothered to save you. Maybe you'll get reborn in Ulria. Then, you have to watch your tongue!""Hey! Yeah, I was wrong. You don't have to curse me like that!" Jovan raised his hands to surrender, but felt quite moved. He poured himself a glass of milk and devotedly toasted to her. "Thank you for caring about me and trying your best to save me. I'll toast to you. And you can do whatever you want.""You're so childish." Renee rolled her eyes and was amused.Justin was quite jealous to see them

    "What's that?" Justin frowned and said with disdain, "That's something to fool naive women like you. Only lovestruck fools will believe that." As a materialistic person, he never believed in things like horoscopes and fortune-telling. At most, they were mixed with some psychology. They weren't trustworthy at all.If Renee wanted to use those things to talk about their relationships and destinies, it would seem very childish. "Don't be so extreme. Those things are real and logical." Renee acted like an experienced salesperson and gradually eliminated Justin's prejudice. She said patiently, "If you believe those things, they can guide you and help you to see things through. If not, you can use them to kill time. Just try to get to know them. Isn't that nice?"Finally, Justin was convinced. He had some milk and asked her leisurely, "Fine. Tell me what kind of relationship we have based on those things." "I learned that our relationship is a declining friendship based on our birt

    "I…" Renee paused. For a moment, she had no idea how to answer that question."Don't put yourself in a difficult position. Just follow your heart," Justin said calmly. "If you want to stay, my family will still welcome you readily. If you want to leave, I'll come up with a way to help you leave smoothly."After listening to Justin, Renee answered honestly, "Maybe it's better for me to leave, though I know this choice will hurt you."She could choose to stay to protect Justin's dignity and give Austin a good explanation. It would be more relaxing and steadier for her. However, Renee knew that it could only last briefly. She would cause Justin greater harm. She might as well be decisive and stop the damage in time. "Don't say that." Justin cracked a bitter smile and said with relief, "I've stopped taking things too seriously. If you like me, you won't stop loving me even if we're apart. Similarly, you'll think about another man if you don't like me, even though you're always b

    Austin was having breakfast in the dining room. When he saw Justin and Renee walk over intimately, he finally believed that they had slept together. They seemed like a real couple."Good morning, Grandpa Baldwin!" Renee obediently greeted Austin just like before. She acted normally."Good morning." Austin nodded, unable to suppress his smile. After sizing them up, he calmly said to Renee, "We know how apologetic you are after you toasted to us last night. We'll forget about the past. You're still a part of my family." "Grandpa!" Justin interrupted Austin; he was very protective of Renee. "She's a woman, and we're not married yet. Please don't say that. A woman's reputation is the most important thing.""You…" Austin wanted to refute Justin, but their conflict was just resolved so it would be bad to pressure them more. He shook his head and said, "Fine. You two always have a bland romance. Finally, you've made some progress. I'll let you two decide what to do next.""Got it, Gr

    "Hey, Haze! What are you doing? Get off of me!" Renee struggled in confusion."Hush!" Justin gestured and stopped her.In a while, someone unlocked the door of the room."Mr. Baldwin, let me help you and Ms. Everheart change your clothes." A kind middle-aged woman walked into the room casually. When she found them sleeping together intimately, relief washed over her. "Oh, you guys are still sleeping… Fine, I'll leave you be." Then, the woman exited the room.After that, Justin stopped hovering above Renee, looking awkward. "I'm sorry. It happened all of a sudden. If I hadn't done that, they wouldn't let us go. I just did a small thing to resolve the issue." Justin was fully aware of Austin's thoughts. Although Austin was still angry at Renee, he was satisfied with her and wanted to see her get into a real intimate relationship with Justin. If that did not happen, Austin might tie them up together since the drug had failed. Justin could only act with Renee to avoid the in

    Renee grinned, satisfied after a long rest. "Why didn't you sleep a bit longer? This bed is comfortable and fluffy." While talking, she behaved like a fish as she extended her limbs and rolled around in bed childishly. In comparison to her calmness and ease, Justin behaved gingerly and did not dare to move as he lay in bed."Do you have any idea what had happened? We aren't dreaming. We're lying in the same bed," Justin said.He was certain that Renee was not fully awake. It explained why she was that composed. Otherwise, any normal woman would get out of bed with a start and keep screaming if they found herself lying in a man's bed."I know!" Renee said. After having a great time rolling around, Renee faced Justin with her head on her arm while lying on her side. "I wanted to drink wine to say sorry to you guys last night, but your family drugged the wine. You drank the same wine when you tried to stop me. We were controlled by the drug and were locked up in this room. T

    Renee instantly understood what Justin meant by that. It turned out that the incident was just a part of the Baldwin family's plan. If she left, the Baldwin family would not easily let her off the hook.Justin still cared about her at a time like that, which moved her. "Thank you. You're great." Renee cried; she had no idea how to repay him. "You don't have to thank me. I'm not so great, either. I just hate that they always pester me." Justin purposely sounded relaxed. He finally calmed himself down as he casually grabbed some bandages to bandage his wound. Then, he lay in bed.He slept on one side of the bed and said to Renee, "It's late. You should rest early. This bed is large enough. If you don't mind, you can lie in bed too."The bed was large. It was more than enough even if Renee and Justin lay there."I…" Renee hesitated briefly before she finally got in bed. She trusted Justin. If he wanted to do something indecent to her, he would have long done that. He would no

    "I don't know how to tell you. I'm sure you can understand." Renee could not bring herself to say more because it was a humiliating privacy. She might as well keep it to herself."Let me guess…" Justin's gaze grew sharp as he went straight to the point. "The man in your story is Stefan, isn't it?" Silence washed over Renee as she kept her head bowed. It was a silent approval.Justin burst into reckless laughter, which was scary. He looked down at his cut wound and laughed pathetically. "This is why he could make you fall in love with him, and I couldn't. I'm too cultured compared to him.""Don't say that, Haze!"Seeing how defeated Justin was, Renee became uneasy. "It isn't written in the stars for us. Plus, I've fallen in love with Stefan a long time ago before I even got to know you. I also rely on him physically and psychologically. I can't control my feelings. It's not something we can change. We…" "Stop!" Heartbroken, Justin pushed away everything in front of him and s
