Chapter 181

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 2 – romance.”

“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 very important stage. You must control how much you push and how much you pull. If you do it well, you can take back the initiative. If you don’t, she might run away.”

“Step 4 is investment. You must be willing to invest your feelings. No amount of skill in the world can match this thing called ” sincerity“. When she can see your sincerity, you’ve already won. Step 5 is to pull the net. If you successfully reach this stage, that means it’s time to enjoy the fruits of victory.”

Xavier breathed a sigh of relief and said. “That’s about it. Digest all this information and ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand. The most important thing is to practice. Theory is useless!”

Stefan browsed the notes, looking thoughtful.

He was naturally cold and extremely rational, so he had no experience in courting women. He only had experience in rejecting women.

Xavier’s lesson sounded very practical. He felt like he had opened the door to a whole new world. He hoped the lesson would be useful!

When Xavier saw that Stefan’s mood had brightened somewhat, he decided to strike while the iron was hot. “Stefan, don’t forget what you promised me. Now that I’ve taught you the techniques of courting women, you have to do me a favor.”

“What is it?”

“It’s the thing I told you about last time. A woman died in my club. Now, the woman’s family wants me to go to jail because I’m the person in charge. They wouldn’t settle for money so I have to go to court.

The evidence is very unfavorable against me. Only Zack Rosenwell has ever won a case like this. Can you think of a way to let Zack Rosenwell represent me?”

Xavier said that with a worried look on his face.

There’s no way a person of his status and background would go to jail for something like this, but if news of it spread, his old man would lock him up, which was like going to jail anyway. Therefore, he could not lose this case.

He went to many top lawyers, but all of them said the case was impossible to win. He had no choice but to seek out Zack Rosenwell.

He had already delayed the first hearing of the trial several times and it was impossible to delay it any longer. He must acquire the service of Zack Rosenwell, pronto!

“I can’t help you with that.”

Stefan said, “I told you, I’m no longer the boss of Hunts & Co. Law Firm.”

“I know, your ex–wife is!”

Xavier smiled bitterly. “You two have such a unique relationship. Surely you can pull some strings for me?”

“If I could do that, I wouldn’t need to learn how to court women from you.”

Stefan sighed helplessly.

His ex–wife was really merciless. Xavier wanted him to use his connections to pull some strings, but he had not even solved his own problem yet!

If he had known that the “useless lawyers” in Hunts & Co. Law Firm were actually that amazing, he would not have given her the law firm that easily.

In less than a month, those lawyers had done a lot of things to help Renee out.

“Oh, right, I forgot. She blocked you. There’s no way you can pull any strings. Even I would have a better chance. At least I’m not blocked…”

Xavier rubbed his chin and pondered seriously, “Maybe I should try going after her too. If I make it, surely she’ll let me borrow her lawyer, right?”

Stefan stared daggers at him and said, “Piss off!”

Stefan’s murderous intent made Xavier take three steps back. He quickly said, “It’s just a joke, man. I wouldn’t dare. Besides, she’s not the kind of woman I would touch. She’s trouble.”

Now that Xavier knew even Stefan could not help him, he was at wit’s end.

“Never mind. I’ll figure it out myself.”

He sighed. As he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something. He turned back and said tentatively, “By the way.

there’s something else I need to tell you about. Chris is getting engaged to Cecy next week. Are you going?”
