Chapter 1272
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âUmmâ¦â The dean looked conflicted. âWe do know an expert in this field, but Mr. Baldwin set up this team, so it might upset him if we suddenly change it.â
âYouâre worried about upsetting him? What about upsetting me?â Stefanâs gaze turned icy, and his aura became menacing.
The dean went pale, and swallowed nervously. âI understand, Mr. Hunt. Please let us handle this.â
âMake sure the effectiveness of your doctor surpasses Justinâs,â Stefan added casually as he walked away.
âDonât worry, Mr. Hunt. Weâll do our best.â The dean gritted his teeth and decided to use all his resources and connections for this task.
The Hunt family ruled Beach City; theyâd rather take their chances with an angry Justin than an angry Stefan.
Stefan was silent, but he was no longer upset. âWait for me, Renee⦠Youâll be crying tears of gratitude once this is done.â
Renee returned to Quintonâs ICU ward. Haze was waiting there, and he peered at her intently as if he were appraising a piece of art.
Feeling uneasy, she frowned and asked, âWhy are you looking at me like that?â
Haze gave her a goofy smile. âItâs because youâre pretty.â
Renee rolled her eyes and raised her hand threateningly.â Watch your tongue.â
âDonât!â Haze pushed her palm down and suppressed his smile. âYou behave differently around him now. How do I put this⦠Itâs like your feelings for him have faded, and you donât love him as much now.
Does it mean that thereâs a higher chance of you falling in love with me?â
In the past, Renee was always humble and respectful in front of Stefan. He controlled everything, and he would always do as he liked with her.
But their positions had changed now. Renee was the one who controlled the situation, and she easily affected Stefanâs emotions and forced him to yield to her demands⦠It was rather satisfactory from an onlookerâs point of view.
