Chapter 85

About ten minutes later, a waitress in a cheongsam led Jane South into the Swan Hall.

“I finally get to see you again, Stefan. You can’t avoid me this time!”

She went straight to Stefan’s left side. The person sitting to Stefan’s left was very tactful and immediately offered his seat.

Everyone in Beach City knew that Jane South, the future heir of South Group and the pampered only child of Jerome South, was crazy about Stefan Hunt.

H Group and South Group were strategic partners that had cooperated for many years.

The two young people were comparable in age and family background. A marriage between them seemed like a matter of certainty.

But a certain Renee Everheart suddenly appeared out of nowhere…

“Stefan, you’ve grown even more handsome since the last time I saw you. You have no idea how much I’ve missed you. All I could dream about was you…”

As soon as Jane South came in, her eyes had never left Stefan. She intimately grabbed his arm and said coquettishly, “How could you be so cruel? We’re childhood friends, but as soon as you got married, you stopped hanging out with me. How could you?!”

Stefan’s face was cold. His sharp gaze swept through the banquet as he asked in an unhappy tone, “This is a private dinner. Who told her about it?”

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

Jane South felt humiliated, her cheeks burning red with anger. “Stefan, is this really necessary? I’m not a monster. Why do you try so hard to avoid me?”

A smile full of schadenfreude suddenly appeared on her face. She said hurriedly, “You have the awareness of a married man, but the same can’t be said for your wife unfortunately. She looks dignified and dutiful on the outside, but she’s not an honest woman at all. If she hadn’t admitted it herself today, I wouldn’t have known she’s such a promiscuous woman. It’s unbelievable. I feel bad for you, Stefan!”

Stefan asked, “What did she admit?”

“Well…”

Jane South looked at the crowd, pretending to hesitate.

Everyone instantly understood. They all stood up and said goodbye.

Soon, only Stefan and Jane were left in the spacious hall.

Jane was very excited. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She wished she could just jump onto Stefan. “Stefan, I finally get to be alone with you again. I…”

“Five minutes.”

Stefan’s voice was cold and impatient.

It’s not that he had anything against Jane South personally, he was just not too fond of being overly intimate with women. He especially hated to be touched by wornen.

And he found Jane South, who was really clingy and liked to make all kinds of contact with him, very annoying.

Jane was so mad that she wanted to curse, but she tried to calm herself down.

Because she believed that Stefan’s attitude towards her would do a complete 180 soon.

“Stefan, I have a video here. You’ll understand everything after you watch it.”

Jane took out her phone and played the video she recorded.

It was actually a video of Renee.

Stefan stared at the phone screen, his eyes getting colder and colder.

The Renee in the video said, “As long as you’re willing to persuade your father to sign the contract with Azure Group, I’ll agree to your request to divorce Stefan, and I’ll never see him again.”

Jane carefully observed Stefan’s reaction and added, “I don’t know what Miss Everfrost was thinking. I just casually mentioned that I could help her, and she immediately agreed to film this video. She never considered how you would feel at all. This also shows how much she loves Liam Osborne. She’s willing to go to such lengths for him!”

Stefan’s expression was cold and he remained silent. His deep eyes showed no emotion. He just kept staring at the phone screen.

Jane continued, “But she’s such a fool. I’m not actually gonna help her. Since I like you so much, if I were going persuade my father, of course I would persuade him to keep cooperating with H Group.

There’s no way I would let her benefit…’

“Moreover, because I just can’t stand how disloyal she is to you, I taught her a lesson. She’s probably scared out of her wits right now while regretting some of her life choices!” Stefan’s eyes turned cold and he snapped, “What did you do to her?”
