The one who spoke was a childhood friend of Stefan's, Xavier Stuart.When Xavier saw Renee who was standing next to him, he let out an even more exaggerated yell. "Oh my god, come and see this. Not only did Stef come, but he also brought his wife with him. Will wonders never cease? What a rare occasion!"Stefan's attractive face remained unfazed as he strode into the room and said in a meaningful tone, "Since I received the invitation, I naturally had to come."Renee was still confused about the situation, so she acted like a good and dignified wife and followed the man obediently. Since she had received a fee of a hundred thousand dollars per minute, she naturally had to play her role as his puppet well.The interior of the room was extravagantly luxurious. It was spacious and lavish, with lights glimmering and glinting, as if they had entered a palace.A few couples were seated on the couch. She could tell from their appearances that they were children of the rich. The ones who

"Hah, you'll be shocked when you find out!"Xavier said proudly, "Do you know Petersville University? Cecy studied astrophysics there, their most difficult subject. When she presented her research paper, she was even awarded the first prize in the Starburst Competition!""Wow, you're really an outstanding student, Cecy!"The crowd cast adoring glances at Cecilia. It was not that their reaction was exaggerated, but in fact, it was because it was very rare for those who were born with a silver spoon to excel in academics, so an astrophysics top student was a feat to them.Cecilia smiled lightly and said softly, "It's not that I am good, it's just that I happened to pick the topic that the judges liked.""Don't be so humble. You should just admit it if you are good!"Xavier put his hands into his pockets and looked at Renee pompously, and asked, "Do you know what astrophysics is? I guess a housewife like you, who never leaves the house without her husband, must have never heard of i

"How... do you want me to make you feel better?"Renee asked earnestly, her back pressed tightly against the seat, her eyes innocent and clear.Honestly, she didn't know how to feel.She should have felt elated and vindicated to see the man in this predicament. Yet, seeing how sad he was, she felt a little bad.'The best way to forget someone is with time and a new love. I have plenty of time. But a new love...'Stefan stared at her intensely. He lifted her chin slightly with his long finger and said in a low voice, "Everyone said that you're a better version of Cecilia. How about you become her substitute for a few minutes and give me a comforting kiss?"He closed his eyes. His pronounced facial features were perfect, as if they were sculpted. His thin lips slowly moved closer to Renee.No woman could refuse such a handsome face.The old Renee would have fallen for it too...But now, her mind was crystal clear. Her fists tightened.‘You want me to be a substitute?!‘In yo

After a few days of rest, Renee's body completely recovered.She brought the law firm share transfer contract to Hunt Enteprise to get Stefan to sign it.Hunt Enteprise had a serious atmosphere today. A security cordon had been set up outside the building. Supposedly, an important person was visiting the company with guests. Many reporters had heard the news and were waiting outside.Renee was stopped outside the cordon. She had to wait until the visit was over before she could enter the building.She saw Stefan in the distance. He was in a black suit. He was standing in the center of the building, gracefully and calmly taking a group photo with the visitors.Stefan's handsome face and cold eyes gave him a naturally regal air. He was always extremely attractive.Suddenly, a commotion rose in the crowd."Let me in! Don't you know who I am?"A man was struggling to break through the cordon to get to Stefan.Elon Barnes!Renee's brows furrowed and her fists tightened.Elon, lik

Haze looked at Renee casually with his hands in his pockets and said pointedly, "What a coincidence. You're here too, Mrs. CEO's wife. A wonderful show is about to begin. Why don't you stay for the show, seeing that you're one of the main protagonists?”Renee was not stupid. She naturally heard the hidden meaning in Haze's words.It looked like his threat to expose her as Phoenix if she refused to work with him was not just an empty threat, but a real one!Before Stefan transferred the law firm's shares to her, her identity as Phoenix must remain a secret!"The famous Haze! I've long been an admirer of your skills. Could I perhaps have a quiet word with you?"Although it looked doomed, Renee was unwilling to give up. She decided attempt a desperate Hail Mary.You never know, Haze might take mercy on her plight and give her a chance."Of course."Haze's long, narrow eyes shined with a glint of cunningness as he said with a smile, "Since the CEO's wife personally requests it, who
