Chapter 920
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âIâm going to kill you, Renee Everheart!â Seraphina howled like a banshee, and lunged at Renee again.
âWho do you think you are?! Iâm telling you, I have something that could ruin your reputation! It might even cost you your life, so donât you dare provoke me, or elseâ¦â
âEnough!â Stefan growled harshly, grabbing her and holding her firmly. His gaze was icy as he warned her, âYouâve been enough of an embarrassment today, so donât make things worse. If you keep this up, not even your entire familyâs wealth would be enough to pay for the consequences.â
After hearing this, Seraphina immediately fell silent.
Renee quickly took the opportunity to provoke Seraphina into giving her more information. âOh? Ruin my reputation, you say? Tell me your plan then, my good daughter, Daddy wonât get mad at you.
Unless⦠youâre bluffing!â
Seraphina hid behind Stefan, her mouth shut but her glare piercing. It was obvious that suppressing her rage was absolute torture for her.
âYou should stop messing with her too. She just has a fiery temper, so Iâll apologize in her stead.
Please stop trying to provoke her.â Stefan bowed gently to the woman. His politeness made it seem like there was a great wall between them, despite their previous intimate relationship.
At that moment, Renee felt defeated, and her heart twisted painfully. Facing his courtesy was far worse than fighting with him.
âAnd whatâs your relationship with each other? Why are you apologizing for her? Are you close? Who is she to you?â Renee smiled coldly as she sneered.
When she heard this, Seraphinaâs eyes lit up and she nudged the manâs arm. She smirked and said, âStef, since Miss Everheart brought it up, shouldnât you give her an answer? Itâs time we officially announce our relationship to the public anyway! You promised.â
Stefan tightened his grip on Seraphinaâs shoulder, silently reassuring her. âSeraphina and Iâ¦â
The gesture infuriated Renee, and she clenched her fists.
âHold on!â Before Stefan could speak, Renee interrupted him in an icy voice. She stood up from her seat and approached them with slightly reddened eyes, staring at the man quietly. âStefan Hunt, Iâd advise you to think before you speak. You should know how important KCL is to H Group⦠itâs worth far more than the Murphy family, Iâm sure. Not only does your choice concern you, it concerns your entire family too.â Renee couldnât help but put pressure on the man, making her stance clear.
This was a battle between two women who wanted to have Stefan all to themselves. As potential âsugar mommiesâ, they were both equally willing to make sacrifices to win this pretty boy over.
Renee knew her skills were more valuable than the Murphysâ support. Anyone with a sane mind would know who to pick.
Feeling threatened, Seraphina started bluffing to compensate. âWhatâs so great about the KCL Group anyway? Arenât you just some pathetic company that makes chips? How could you possibly be wealthier than my family? What H Group needs the most is cash! Does your lame company even have that?â
Renee looked at Stefan imploringly and responded, âStefan should know the current market value of KCL Group. As long as you make the right choice, both H Group and KCL Group are yours.â
Seraphina, however, refused to admit defeat. âOh, so what? My dad intends to hand our entire family business to Stef too! All our assets will be his, sooner or later!â
