Chapter 1242
They bickered like an old couple, and eventually, Renee's mood improved. She knew he was trying to make her
happy, and smiled at him. "Haze, to be honest, you're not that bad when you're not behaving like a scumbag...
Thank you.’
Haze chuckled and flashed her a grin. "You know, your compliments aren't too bad either."
They smiled at each other as if they were long-lost soulmates.
"Haze, do you really think I'm biased?" Renee sighed, hoping Haze could help her analyze the situation from the
view of a third person.
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Haze asked her, smiling faintly.

"Well, on the surface, you seem to be partial towards Quinton, but in actual fact, you're more partial towards
Stefan..." Haze said contemplatively, then pursed his lips and said oddly, "But it's normal. After all, he's your ex-
husband, and of course lovestruck women like you would put your husbands above everything else!"
"No, that's not it! I just feel that Quinton is having a very hard time since he's living with so much hatred and all he
can think about is taking
revenge. What's more, the Hunt family won't be an easy enemy. If he keeps provoking them, he’ll get into trouble."
"You're not him, and you've never walked in his shoes. What right do you have to ask him to let go of his grudges?"
Haze raised his brows and said seriously, "If it were me, I wouldn't be able to reconcile with my enemy so easily.
The business he worked hard for was ruined as well as his face. You know, my family also has a rule of seeking
revenge and never letting bygones be bygones.’
"Yes, you're right but... My family was on friendly terms with the Hunt family. I feel that Grandpa, Dad, and Mom
wouldn't want to see us fight against them," Renee admitted.
"That's just an excuse!" Haze exclaimed. "If the Hunt family was on such good terms with the Everheart family, why
didn't they do anything when the Everheart family was facing trouble back then? When your family fell, the Hunt
family immediately replaced your family and became the head of The Great Eight of Beach City. To be honest, I
don't think they were on very good terms with your family."
"It was unexpected. My family went bankrupt so fast, and nobody even had time to react. I guess it was the same
with the Hunt family too. It was already very hard for them since Stefan was forced to marry me..." Renee was not
an ungrateful person. She did not need the protection of the Hunt family given her capabilities, but the Hunt family
had indirectly made a lot of enemies when they allied themselves with the Everheart family through Renee and
Stefan's marriage.

"You're an exemplary person, so of course it would be their gain if Stefan married you. Back then, Grandpa
immediately offered support to your family when he learned that they were in trouble. He even forced me to marry
you and protect you, but unfortunately, I had my heart set on
Phoenix, so I missed the chance of being with you." When Haze thought about it, he felt like slapping himself.
He leaned closer to her, and said half-jokingly, "Do you think all this nonsense wouldn't have happened if you
married me instead back then? It would have been easy for us to crush the Hunt family, and you wouldn’t have had
conflict with your mother-in-law. What's more, those homewreckers wouldn't have forced you to divorce your
husband.’
"Maybe." Renee looked at Haze thoughtfully and placed her hand on his cheek. ’You're indeed handsome and come
from a powerful background. The most important thing is that we share the same trade. We can
compete against each other in writing codes too. Sometimes I wondered if I would be happy if I married you
instead back then?" "Well, it's never too late... We can always start now,’ Haze said softly and lifted her chin.
