Chapter 818
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
The atmosphere in the vehicle suddenly became tense.
âSo, that means that person is much more important than Stefan Hunt to you?â Stefan clenched his jaw, questioning angrily.
âAre you kidding?â Renee smacked Stefan lightly, still drunk, then started hugging him even tighter. âMr.
Q, youâre the most important person to me now. Why else would I marry you? Stefan Hunt is nothing to me, I moved on from him four years ago⦠That jerk was probably jealous of your personality and looks, and thatâs why he scarred your face! Donât worry, Iâll definitely get revenge for you!â
âReally now?â Stefan scoffed. âAnd how are you going to do that?â
âSimple, he scarred your face, so Iâll scar hisâ¦â Renee let out a burp and covered her face, giggling.
âIâm going to carve the words âIâm an ugly jerkâ into his face! Hahaha, pretty cruel, arenât I?â
Stefan fell silent.
âPfft!â Elijah couldnât hold back his laughter any longer. When he felt a chill in the car, he cleared his throat and said formally, âAh, I didnât hear anything, Mr. Hunt, nothing at allâ¦â
âClearly, you still value your life,â Stefan growled, looking embarrassed. If the woman wasnât drunk, he wouldâve given her a thorough scolding.
Elijah glanced at the man through the rearview mirror, surprised to see how gentle his gaze was when he looked at Renee. He asked softly, âMr. Hunt, youâve finally realized who you canât move on from, right?â
âIâve always known how I felt deep inside. I just had too much on my plate back then, and I gave up on what was truly important to me. Now that the universe has given me another chance to right my wrongs, I am never letting go,â Stefan said determinedly as he held Reneeâs hand, as if she was the pure embodiment of his happiness.
âGood, good.â Elijah nodded and let out a sigh of relief. As Stefanâs most trusted assistant, he had witnessed the entirety of Stefan and Reneeâs love story, complicated and heart-wrenching as it was.
Even as an outsider, he was desperately hoping that they could finally understand each other, and achieve their happy ending.
As long as Stefan knew what his heart wanted, Elijah believed that he could definitely win Reneeâs heart back. Any woman would wish to be treated with sincerity, after allâ¦
âRight, have you investigated Desrosiersâ whereabouts?â Stefan suddenly asked. Briar had been missing for quite a few days, and hadnât said anything before departing. He couldnât help but worry for her safety.
âNothing yetâ¦â Elijah frowned, then hesitantly said, âYou just said that you knew how you felt, and that you wouldnât let go of this second chance. Why are you mentioning that manipulative witch again? She was the reason you ended up in such a horrible state with Miss Everheart to begin with! Could it be that you-â
âShut it.â Stefan glared at his assistant. âI know what Iâm doing.â
