'Here for a reason?!' When Stefan heard those words, he remembered his unpleasant exchange with Renee and got angrier."What business do you have? Don't blabber, or I'll block you."After that, Stefan continued to bury himself in work. He had a cold aura around him, as though he was an iceberg completely isolated from the world.'Gee. Stefan's really pissed!' Xavier thought and gulped. He finally realized Rachel's good intentions in telling him to come back another day.As Xavier turned to Rachel, trying to ask for help, Rachel obligingly smiled at him and left. "Mr. Stuarts, please feel free and talk to Mr. Hunt. I'm going back to work."And then... She just left like that!โDamn! Rachel, seriously?!โXavier watched Rachel as she casually locked the door and left the room. He suddenly felt a sense of despair, like heโd been strategically fed to the beast.โNevermind,โ he thought. 'I'm here already. Might as carry on.'After all, who else would suffer here if not him?"Ahem!"

Stefan grabbed his notebook. With a pen, he wrote "How to court a womanโ in capital letters. Xavier took a glance and almost burst out laughing."Stefan, oh, Stefan. Everyone says you're as cold as an iceberg. Why do I feel like you're such a dork? Learn how to court a woman by understanding, not by reading. Why are you taking notes?"Stefan said with a blank face, "There are rules to follow for everything. Courting a woman is no different. I'm not only taking notes, but I'm going to do an analysis later. I'll compare various methods and increase the sample data to evaluate the reasonableness and feasibility of your teachings.""Are you seriousโฆ Do you have to go that far?" Stefan acted as if he was performing a feasibility test on a multi-billion project, which pushed Xavier's pressure sky-high."I take everything I do seriously." Stefan looked up at Xavier with a warning gaze. "You better be serious at teaching. If it doesn't work, you're finished."Xavier suddenly felt nervou

Xavier went on, "If she blocks you, use a different number. Whenever you're free, flirt with her and make her happy. Then, you move onto Step 2โromance.""All women like romantic things, especially dreamers like your ex-wife. If you're romantic enough, she's as good as yours."Stefan pushed his glasses into place and recorded everything carefully in his notebook. He was very serious the whole time. He even raised his hand and asked, "How do I be romantic?""That's an entirely different lesson. I won't go into that today because there's simply not enough time. You can try watching some romantic dramas, especially Korean dramas, and see what the male protagonists do. I'll find the time to make some PowerPoint slides to teach you the specifics.""Okay."Stefan nodded. "Go on," he ordered like he was Xavier's boss. "Step 3 is relaxing. After a period of fierce pursuit, you have to stop for a bit. This is called emotional push-and-pull. It's a crucial stage. You must control how much

Stefan's handsome face was calm. He merely raised his eyebrows slightly and asked the cautious-looking Xavier, "Why not?"Christopher and him, as well as Xavier, became sworn brothers a long time ago. They were even closer than real brothers.Now that the eldest brother was getting engaged, as the younger brother, there was no reason for him not to go.Xavier thought Stefan was just putting on a brave face. He comforted Stefan, "It's okay, bro, Chris said if you don't want to go, you don't have to. He understands. After all, the relationship between you, him, and Cecy is a bit complicated...โ"It's nothing complicated."Stefan said nonchalantly, "One's a brother, the other's an old friend. They're getting engaged. I'll definitely go to the engagement.""But... alright!" Xavier heaved a long sigh with an even stronger look of sympathy on his face.In his opinion, Stefan was obviously just acting nonchalantly.Cecilia was Stefan's first love. Now that his first love was getting e

Stefan picked up his phone and dialed Renee's number with practiced familiarity, only to suddenly remember that she had blocked him. He became even madder."Rachel!" He angrily summoned his secretary.The secretary walked cautiously into the office and asked, "What can I do for you, Mr. Hunt?""Lend me your phone.""M-My phone?"Although Rachel was confused, she still handed her phone to Stefan respectfully.Without saying another word, Stefan dialed Renee's number again.The phone rang for only three seconds before it was picked up."Hello?"Renee's lazy voice, with a trace of joy, came from the other end of the phone.She just swindled hundreds of thousands of dollars from him! Of course she would be happy!"Sounds like you're in a good mood," Stefan said sarcastically with a stiff face.Renee immediately recognized Stefan's voice. She replied, "I'm not feeling too bad!""You have such a great business mind, don't you? You made hundreds of thousands of dollars just like

However, even after a long wait, no new dialog box appeared.Renee's curiosity was piqued even more. She asked, [Are you new?]Now, even the "typing..." status was gone. The person was playing dead now.No reply?!Renee was originally not interested, but she now had a strong desire to conquer this challenge.The guy was quite the character. He was probably a handsome young man that was used to women's adoration. That's why he's so arrogant.Renee happened to be in a bad mood and wanted to pour out her negative emotions, so she simply treated the person as a tree hole.After all, a tree hole only had to listen and never had to speak. That's its function.The phone lit up with a faint light in the dark room. Renee typed a wall of text into the chat.[Bro, is there anyone who really annoys you? You're young, so probably not, but big sis does know someone like that. The most ironic thing is this person I hate is someone I used to deeply love. I swear, I've never seen a bigger fool

In the Obstetrics and Gynecology ward, Briar was lying on a hospital bed, looking very anxious.There were sufficient evidence and witnesses to charge her with stealing. She was currently on bail, pending trial. There were police officers outside the door watching over her.In other words, if Renee refused to drop the case, Briar would go to jail for at least three years.Although she did not have to stay in jail during the pregnancy and breastfeeding period, she would be after that.More importantly, her life would be completely ruined once she was convicted of a criminal offense,If she had known that Renee was such a tough opponent, she would have kept low and stayed far away from Renee!Briar had tried calling Stefan many times, but he didnโt answer any of her calls. It was obvious that he did not want to talk to her. She did not know if he would even save her.She had really made a mess of things this time!At that moment, her attending physician came in. He closed the doo

After the doctor left, Briar rubbed her belly, angry and disappointed. She said, "You should have done better. God gave you a chance to be born into the Hunts, but you actually have a genetic defect... You're gonna stop developing anyway, so don't blame me for being cruel!"What the doctor meant was obvious. Regardless of whether the baby was aborted or not, it would not survive.In that case, she would much rather let the baby die in a miscarriage so that she would not be held responsible.As for how the miscarriage would happen...Briar's eyes became poisonous. Didn't that bitch Renee despise her? In that case, it's completely possible for Renee to โlose control of her emotionsโ and kill her baby.When that happened, Stefan would definitely make the person who killed his dead brother's child pay. Briar would not even have to do anything else and Renee would die a miserable death.Thinking of that, a content smile crept onto Briar's face. Her touch on the belly became a lot gent

In the past, Jovan had always regarded Stefan as a coward. Stefan couldn't forget about Renee, but he kept pushing Renee to another man. It seemed like Justin was more responsible, considerate, and gentle. Of course, Renee would lead a very happy, steady, and comfortable life with such a man. At the very least, Jovan felt that he could not be that meticulous and considerate. He would only drive Renee mad just to get her attention. "Hmph! Are you trying to humiliate me or yourself?" Justin didn't find that a compliment. Instead, it sounded like smockery. Jovan made it sound like Justin was a nice guy, but would not be picked by Renee. Usually, people like that had to suffer and would not end up well."I'm praising you." Jovan was helpless because of his reputation as the villain. Although he had said a lot of annoying things, he did want to compliment Justin. His love was probably as deep as Justin's, but his and Stefan's ways of loving Renee were much inferior to Justin's.

"That's unnecessary." Justin stood in front of Renee, his face cold. He said firmly, "She's unwell and can't have wine." "Is she unwell? I didn't see that." Jovan sized Renee up before he sized Justin up. Then, he sneered, "And who are you to her? You can't stop her from having wine.""It's none of your business who I am to her. I said she can't have wine." Justin always kept peace with others, but at that moment, he was dominant. He didn't always want to control Renee, but she had drunk a lot of wine that day. It might have hurt her belly. Hence, he felt it better for her to abstain from wine lately. However, Jovan was unaware of that affair. He simply found Justin purposely showing his ownership over Renee, which disgusted him."Waiter, get her a glass of milk. She only wants that," Justin instructed a waiter, showing his consideration for Renee. "It's okay. I can have a little wine. Plus, I'm rather good at drinking. It's not easy for everyone to get together tonight. I do

They danced for around ten minutes. Renee danced to the song heartily. Her initial gloomy mood also improved.Renee drank some water and took a few deep breaths. Then, she sincerely praised Leia, "Alright. Your welcome ceremony is bizarre, but it helped relieve my stress. I like it very much!"She could tell that Leia had painstakingly prepared that gift for her. After all, it was not easy to ask the Zambawi people from primitive tribes to sing an English song. "I'm glad you like it. I did this because I wanted you to relax and stop taking things seriously. You need to stop being so hard on yourself and get rid of all the pressure!" Leia said honestly. The Zambawi hand-drum dance came with the charms of a primitive dance. Its goal was to set people free. Of course, it was suitable for Renee to relieve her stress."Yeah, your stress is relieved. From now on, you'll start afresh. This is for you. I'm sure it'll be one of your happy memories." Liam handed the previous Polaroid to

"This is your welcome ceremony. This hand-drum dance is to help eliminate bad luck." Leia held Renee's arm, satisfied with her arrangement. She said happily, "Listen to their song! It's a great song!""Is there a song?" Renee frowned; she felt that Leia was always doing bizarre things. She wondered how Leia could come up with such a preposterous welcome ceremony."Mm, listen carefully! It's English. You can understand it." At that point, Leia said to the Zambawi people, "Put on your microphone. And sing louder."The Zambawi people gave their cooperation. They used their typical Zambawi singing to sing the English song. While listening to the song, Renee found it very familiar. "The flowers will bloom in spring, and the birds are free. I'm still waiting, waiting for my love to come back. Hurry home!""Isn't that Spring Flowers by Curtis Harrett?" Renee finally recalled what song it was. It was a song with a happy beat. It could make people happy. The Zambawi people made th

"I don't know, either. All I ever remember from when I was young is that I led a very painful life. I once tried my best to make the Garcia family accept me. I did all the dirty and tiring jobs. I went out to work at an early age to get money for them. I also did all the house chores. "But my foster parents were never nice to me. They would always beat me up or scold me. My elder foster brother also saw me as an eyesore. He always tried to get me killedโฆ" Quinton calmly described his past. He no longer seemed to be in pain. All that was left in him was numbness, as if he were talking about someone else.However, Renee was always in pain whenever she heard him talk about his past. She felt like she had returned to his past with him and experienced those painful things. It was normal for her to feel that way because they were twins. A lot of their thoughts and feelings were synchronized. "I suddenly recalled that I would inexplicably become gloomy many times when I was young. I

"I'm sorry." When Renee heard that from Quinton, she realized the conflict between him and Stefan had yet to be resolved. It was temporarily put aside because of her. She occasionally saw him and Stefan talk to each other and drink together, but they merely put on a show to ease her mind. Their hatred for each other hadn't been eliminated. Instead, it was growing secretly. If Renee were Quinton, she might never forgive the person who had snatched away her beloved and seized her identity. That person even ruined her face."Why did you say sorry to me? It's the resentment between him and me. It has nothing to do with you. Plus, I didn't know he was my brother-in-law then. If I knew, I wouldn't have fought him." When Quinton recalled those affairs, he realized that people were nothing but the sport of fate. If there had been no resentment between him and Stefan, Renee might not have broken up with Stefan. Their families might even get closer. "Stop bringing up the past. It's

During these days, Renee was under pressure because of her affairs. She had no chance to ask Quinton about it. Now, the long flight gave them a chance to have a deep conversation. They could talk about their woes and seek consolation."Me?" Quinton lowered his head and shook his head helplessly. "I'm still the same old me. Nothing is troubling me. I've been busy with Carmine Pawnshop. I have no time to think about other stuff.""You have no time?" Renee touched her chin and smiled naughtily. "Then, you must have been dwelling on other stuff. Let me guessโฆ Is it the thing between you and Joanne?" "Stop asking so much." Quinton did not deny it but refused to talk much about that. "It looks like I made the right guess. You fell out with Joanne, didn't you?" Renee knew Quinton well. Generally, his work would not affect his mood. The only person who could affect his mood was Joanne, who shared a complicated relationship with him. Before Renee left Beach City, she had created a l

After a long while, Quinton turned around. He looked at Renee, who was across from him, and heaved a long sigh."We're about to go home soon. Why do you look this gloomy? What's wrongโฆ? Are you reluctant to part with this place?" Quinton said. "No, I'm not." Renee poured herself a glass of orange juice and sipped it. She frowned and dwelled on it before she said, "I feel empty inside. I don't know if I made the right choice.""Empty?" Quinton asked curiously."I think I've said goodbye to a steady life since I decided to leave. Maybe I'll keep on wandering from now on," Renee said melancholically. The reason why she chose to give it a try with Justin because she was tired. She was exhausted from leading a wandering life and wanted to settle down with someone. Others could not give her the sense of security like Justin. When she saw him, she inexplicably wanted a home. At that time, she thought she could forget about everything and start a new life with him. Unexpectedly, she

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
