Chapter 386
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âIâve seen it.â
Stefan was working at his desk. He replied calmly without lifting his eyes.
Four years had left no trace on his perfectly handsome face, except it was maybe even colder now.
âYou⦠youâve seen it?â
Elijah found it hard to believe. He boldly said, âNo way. If youâve seen it, thereâs no way this is how you react.â
The trending topic was about Renee Everheart, the woman who had disappeared for four years and the woman Mr. Hunt could not stop thinking about for four years. This was his reaction?!
Stefan finally raised his head. He slowly put the lid back on his pen and twirled it with his long fingers.
âHow should I have reacted?â
âIf you had seen the trending topic, you would have gone to meet up with Miss Everheart already. At the very least, you should be so excited that you would be freaking out⦠Thereâs no way you would remain this calm!â
Elijah was emotional and puzzled.
âWhat does she have to do with me? Why must I meet up with her just because sheâs returned to Beach City?â
Stefanâs questions struck Elijah dumb.
âWellâ¦â
Stefan snorted. âDo I look like I havenât gotten over her?â
âUhh⦠you do!â
At the risk of being thrown out, Elijah murmured, âAlthough you try to act like youâre fine, and youâre doing a good job of that, you secretly stare at her picture every night. You also get crazy whenever youâre drunk and would bawl your eyes out while grabbing onto me. Donât you remember that just last month, youâ¦â
âShut up!â
Stefanâs expression darkened. He coldly interrupted Elijah. âSheâs not that important to me. Sheâs just a passerby in my life. It doesnât concern me where she is, and I have no intention of meeting with her.
Donât mention her in front of me ever again!â
âButâ¦â
âIf you have so much free time, I donât mind giving you more work. If thatâs all, then get out!â
Stefan suddenly got mad and Elijah could feel an even bigger storm coming, so he did not dare say anything else. He quickly withdrew from the CEOâs office.
Outside, a group of executives were pacing back and forth, waiting to feed on the latest gossip.
âSo? Did Mr. Hunt get emotional? Did he cry?â
âWhen will they meet? Will their love rekindle?â
Elijah did not say anything. He merely shrugged and looked helpless.
It could not be helped. Their CEO was very hard to read. No one could tell what he was thinking!
After Stefan shooed Elijah away, just as he was about to go back to his work, his phone rang.

The first person to call was Xavier. His shouting almost shattered Stefanâs eardrum.
âStefan, look at todayâs trending topic! Itâs your little darling wife! After disappearing for four years, sheâs transformed into a bombshell! Her face, her figure, her aura⦠No man can withstand her charm! When will youâ¦â
Stefan hung up with a snap before Xavier could finish talking.
Immediately afterwards, Christopher called.
âStef, Miss Everheard is back. Are you okay?â
Stefan said coldly, âIâm fine.â
âAre you sure? Do you want to go grab a drink?â
âIâm fine.â
âI donât think you are. After all, the last few years, youâveâ¦â âI need to take care of something. Talk to you later.â Stefan quickly ended the conversation.
