Chapter 1186
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Seraphina gritted her teeth and said, âDidnât you hear what the employees call you? If this goes on, Stefan will remember everything sooner or later, and itâll be bad for his brain if that happens. We both know what he experienced a year ago and how painful it was for him.
Heâs better now, but seeing you will probably affect him. Donât you feel bad harming him again and again like this?â
âI⦠I didnât think of that.â Renee lowered her head in shame after hearing that. Stefan nearly died by her hand a year ago, so she swore to God that she would never get back with him in exchange for his safety and happiness.
However, even if she didnât do anything, sometimes things developed beyond her expectations. The grudge between Quinton and Stefan was the perfect example-she was caught in the middle of it, so she couldnât just stand aside and do nothing about itâ¦
Seraphina sniffled, wiping tears from her eyes. âMiss Everheart, Iâm sorry. Iâm not trying to insult you, but my relationship with Stefan hasnât been easy. Our relationship has just become a little stable, but now youâve appeared in his life again. You know how much I love Stefan, so I canât just pretend that I donât care.â
Seraphina sounded very pitiful as she spoke, and finally bowed to Renee apologetically. âI know itâs because of your generosity that I can be with Stefan, so I do what you ask me to and be nice to him⦠but when you appear, he becomes uncontrollable, and I canât get through to him at all. Iâm so sorry.â
Stefan, who had just opened the door and walked out, happened to witness that scene.
Immediately, he walked over and stood in front of Seraphina protectively as he glared at Renee. âWhat are you doing? Our negotiation is over, so why havenât you left? Are you trying to bully my fiancee again?â
Reneeâs heart ached when she saw how concerned he was about Seraphina. Mr. Hunt, you worry too much. This is your territory, so thereâs no way Iâd come here to bully your fiancee. Unfortunately, she doesnât feel secure in the relationship, and thinks that Iâm trying to seduce you, so in short⦠Youâre not treating her well enough, and are failing to show her how much you love her.â
She reached out and patted his shoulder like an elder as she advised sincerely, âBe more lovey-dovey with Sera, she loves you very much. Donât fancy wild thoughts and hurt her.â
Reneeâs generosity made Seraphina feel inferior, so the latter kept her head bowed.
However, Stefanâs face turned very gloomy. He hated it when she appeared so openminded and unaffected. His lip curled, and he stated coldly, âI donât need an outsider like you to comment on my relationship with my fiancee.â
âAlright then, Iâll leave you be. Goodbye.â Smiling, Renee waved at the two of them and left H Group.
Seraphina held Stefanâs arm and asked cautiously, âStefan, are you mad at me?â
âOf course not,â Stefan replied absent-mindedly, feeling frustrated.
âMany reporters are waiting outside, making a scene and asking for your explanation. The netizens even paint you as a demonic and bloodthirsty monster⦠If youâre uncomfortable giving an answer, my family can help you resolve this,â Seraphina said earnestly, eager to please Stefan.
âJust leave it for now.â
âBut it doesnât look good for you. Everyone can tell that itâs because of the Night Demon.
Heâs Reneeâs brother, so it might have been Renee who added fuel to the fireâ¦â
âItâs not important.â At the moment, he did not plan to make any counterattack since he had made a deal with Renee to not take action for ten days.
Seraphinaâs insecurities immediately worsened. She could tell that he did not want to make a counterattack because of Renee, and thus, some wicked ideas started to form in her mindâ¦
