Chapter 640
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Shelley searched around but did not find Renee, so she figured Renee must have gone home.
Shelley said to Stefan, who was still sitting in Reneeâs chair, âMr. Hunt, Miss Everheart must have gone home. This is Azure Groupâs office, so I hope you remember your position as an outsider. You should leave now. Iâm going to lock the door.â
Stefan rested his chin on his interlocked fingers, then said with a cold look in his eyes, âNo, sheâs not home yet.â
If she had gone home, he would have seen her.
âIf sheâs not home, where else could she be?â Shelley gathered her courage and questioned Stefan, âMr. Hunt, you insist on staying and wont leave. Are you trying to steal the companyâs secrets?â
Stefan snorted in disdain. âThis is such a small workshop. What secrets would this company have that are worth stealing?â
Shelley fought the urge to roll her eyes, and said awkwardly, âRight. H Group wouldnât have to steal information from Azure Group. Even if they did, itâs unlikely for you to steal it yourself. So, why are you refusing to leave? Are you⦠worried about Miss Everheart?â
Stefan did not deny or admit it.
Stefanâs affection warmed Shelleyâs heart. She then suggested in a whisper, âDo you have her familyâs phone number? Why donât we call her family and ask if she went back? Itâs getting late. Even if you keep waiting here, it wonât help!â
âIâve been divorced from her for so long, so how could I have her familyâs phone number? Besides, sheâs the only one left in her family. Thereâs no one to contact.â Stefanâs tone was a little sad.
When he thought about it, Renee had such a painful past, but she was still so optimistic and brave. She had been working hard alone all these years. It must have been hard for her, right?
âAh. I almost forgot about Miss Everheartâs sad past. She married a heartless man like you after the downfall of her family. As a result, she got divorced at a young age. I think someone was gossiping about Miss Everheart this morning and looked down on her for being divorced.â
âReally?â Stefanâs gaze instantly turned cold.
âWhat do you think? Some women are like foul-mouthed bullies. They love making things difficult for other women.â
âDo you know who it was? Iâll make them pay for saying such terrible things! â Stefan was angry to learn that others looked down on Renee because of her divorce. He felt responsible and wanted to take revenge for her!
âI donât really know. A few young girls were gossiping. These days, there are plenty of people with no morals, and there are also many perverts around⦠I heard of some in our office building. The pervert will usually lurk around the entrance to the womenâs restroom and secretly film womenâ¦â Shelley paused, feeling a little disgusted. Men could be such vile creatures.
âPervert?â Stefan frowned a little and asked, âWas the pervert caught?â
âYes, but he was fired and got a small fine. Who knows if he went somewhere else to commit another crimeâ¦â Shelley suddenly thought of something and seemed nervous. âIt canât be⦠Do you think the pervert kidnapped Miss Everheart?!â
Stefanâs expression was thunderous. âYou shouldâve told me this earlier!
Call security at once -1 want to see the surveillance footage.â
The security guards of the office building were shocked to hear that Stefan wanted to check the surveillance. They did not even put on their uniforms neatly in their haste to get there.
The guards took Stefan and Shelley up to the surveillance control room and turned on all the records for them to check. In the surveillance record, Renee appeared and got in the elevator at about half past ten at night.
âTurn on the internal surveillance of elevator number two!â
