Chapter 199

“Pfft!”

Renee burst out laughing despite herself.

If anyone else had said that, she would not have felt that there was anything wrong with those words, but coming from the giant iceberg, it felt like a big fat joke.

“Hahahaha! Mr. CEO, did a ghost possess you or something? How could those words come out of your mouth? Oh, that’s a good joke!”

Stefan’s handsome face grew colder and colder.

He pursed his thin lips, looked expressionlessly at the woman who had bent over with laughter, and said slowly. “Is it really that funny?”

“Damn right it is.”

Renee tried to contain her laughter and looked at Stefan mockingly. “You really are trying everything in the book to get me to withdraw charges, aren’t you? Unfortunately, even though we’ve been married for four years, you still don’t understand what kind of person I am…”

“You think if you say something nice to me, I’ll do anything you say, just like old times?”

Renee shook her head and laughed at Stefan’s arrogance.

“Before, you were my husband. I listened to what you said because I cared about you. But now, you’re just my ex–husband.

Your requests are nothing to me now. Why should I do what you want me to?”

Renee’s words pierced into Stefan’s heart like a sharp knife.

Although it did not make a big wound, the empty feeling it left behind was still unpleasant.

He only realized now that he seemed to have lost a very good woman…

Stefan smiled self–deprecatingly. His voice was clear and chilly as he asked, “Am I really that kind of person in your eyes?”

Renee shrugged, “Obviously?”

“Hahaha! You’re too full of yourself!”

Stefan’s eyes became even colder and more aloof. His voice was cold and sharp. “If I want to save Briar, I have a hundred ways to save her. The reason I spent so much time negotiating with you is because I hope you can quell your anger. But now… I’m running out of patience. I’m done with this!”

Renee felt that there were other meaning behind those words, so she said, “I knew it, you really are planning something big in secret. Face me head on if you’re a man!”

Stefan did not answer. He opened the document before him and said coldly, “You can leave now!”

“Stefan Hunt, I warn you, you better not play any dirty tricks. I’ll make you pay if you do!”

Renee’s fist smashed onto the desk in front of Stefan to emphasize her fierce warning.

Stefan did not say anything else to her. He simply picked up the phone and told the security to come escort her out.

Renee was fuming. She left reluctantly.

She had come all this way but did not get any useful information at all. What a waste of time!

She desperately needed to vent all the negative emotions, so she opened the chat with the stranger again and sent a row of כי angry emojis.

As if that wasn’t enough, she also sent another wall of text.

“I’m so mad! SO MAD! My ex–husband is so annoying!”

“He’s already your ex–husband but he still makes you mad. Maybe you’re still in love with him?”

“Nonsense!”

Renee gritted his teeth and typed a new message. “My hate for him just hasn’t subsided yet. If I could, I really wanted to chop him into pieces and feed him to the fish.”

“Good idea. I’ll buy you a knife if you need it.”

The guy’s reply made Renee laugh out loud. “You’re the best, Mr. Moon.”

Looking at the his profile picture of the moon on the sea, she could almost feel the breeze blowing against her hair. She instantly felt less angry. She strode out of the H Group building with light steps.

What Renee did not realize was that Stefan was currently staring at her petite, nimble figure.

He leaned in front of the shiny French window, his deep eyes locked onto Renee…

She seemed so small, just a tiny black dot in his vision, but he felt like he could not deal with her at all!

The reason why he released her nanny was really because he simply did not want to make her sad.

Why wouldn’t she believe him?

At that moment, Stefan’s phone rang.

With a slight frown, he said, “Okay, do it!”
