Chapter 75
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
Stefan frowned slightly after a hint of surprise flashed across his cold face.
What have Rence done? Why was Zack Rosenwell willing to pour drinks for her?
Three years ago, when II Group acquired the Hunts & Co. Law Firm, Zack Rosenwell left a deep impression on Stefan due to his arrogance and lack of respect.
However, because Zackâs professional capabilities were so outstanding â he would easily help H Group solve all kinds of legal issues â Stefan simply let him be.
All these years, Stefan had always left the Hunts & Co. Law Firm alone. He did not care how much money they made as long as they could be useful in crucial moments.
But those lawyers simply turned the law firm into a âretirement homeâ. Not only did the law firm not make money, it was losing money every year!
Renee actually gave up $40 million dollars and a luxury house in exchange for this law firm. In Stefanâs opinion, it was so not worth it.
He was sure that there was no way Renee could deal with the difficult people in the law firm, considering her capabilities. When that happened, Renee would naturally admit defeat and come to him to re-discuss the distribution of assets.
But now, it seemed like Renee had pretty much done it⦠in only three days?
Renee and the lawyers did not notice Stefanâs arrival. Stefan did not go over to greet them either.
Instead, he headed straight for the VIP area on the second floor.
Xavier had been waiting for him. He was full of complaints. âBro, youâre finally here. When we asked you to come, you said youâre busy, but when it concerns your little darling wife, you came immediately!â
âIt has nothing to do with her.â
Stefan replied coldly as he took a seat.
The seat he chose was right across from the booth where Renee and the lawyers were in, enabling him to see their every move.
From the moment he sat down, Stefanâs gaze had never left Renee, as if his eyes had been locked in place.
Downstairs, Renee was surrounded on all sides. She was smiling brilliantly, like a blooming flower, bright and charming.
Her white skirt was pure, while her red lips were seductive. The two contrasting elements blended into her, making her seem⦠so alluring!
Was that how she took care of those eccentric lawyers?
When he thought of that, Stefanâs gaze tightened. He took a sip of wine with an expression of displeasure. A strange feeling rose in his heart.
âBro, are you even listening to me?â
Xavierâs waved his hand in front of Stefanâs face. He then continued bravely, âFrom the moment you sat down, all youâve been doing was stare at her. We should just call you Starefan! Stop ignoring your friends!â
Only then did Stefan realize that he seemed to have been paying too much attention to that woman.
He withdrew his gaze and turned to Xavier, asking him in a cold voice, âWhat were you saying again?â
Xavier quickly said, âBro, I remember you have a law firm, and thereâs a lawyer named Zack Rosenwell working in your law firm, right? Dude, Iâm in trouble. Can you ask that guy to represent me in a case? I canât lose this case or Iâm done for!â
âI can get you a lawyer, but Zack Rosenwellâ¦â
Stefan had a complicated expression as he said, âIâm afraid he wonât take orders from me.â
âNo way! Youâre his boss!â
Xavier seemed really worried. He said helplessly, âDude, Iâll tell you honestly. Itâs the new club I opened. A woman died from alcohol overdose from drinking too much. Now, her familyâs taking us to court. The situation is very unfavorable for us!â
âI have a good relationship with the judge, so he secretly hinted to me that in this type of cases, our side would usually lose. There was only one example of the defendant winning â it was a case Zack Rosenwell took on years agoâ¦â
Xavier was about to lose it.
He came from a family of politicians. His family had always been strict. His father nagged him every day for not working a proper job.
If his father found out that he actually had the audacity to open an entertainment club and the club had even caused death, his father would definitely break his legs and confine him forever!
Christopher chimed in, âTry and ask the lawyer to help him, Fan. After all, if the lawyer is someone we know personally, there will be fewer problems.â
Stefan pursed his thin lips and said no more.
Downstairs, Reneeâs group was becoming more and more lively. They were now playing a drinking game.
Stefanâs face hardened. He could not sit still anymore.
He picked up a glass of wine and told the dispirited Xavier, âLetâs go.â
