Chapter 69
Stefan’s strong aura caused Elon Barnes to shrink back a little.
However, with so many cameras aiming at them, he did not think Stefan would dare do anything funny!
“What else could I want, my nephew-in-law?”
Elon cleared his throat and said loudly, “My niece has been your wife for many years. She has always
been a responsible wife. Now that you want to dump her, all you’re giving her is a stupid law firm? How
is she supposed to live from now on? Considering how rich the Hunt family is, surely you don’t have to
be so heartless?”
His words caused an uproar in the crowd. The reporters frantically pressed their shutters.

“My niece is timid and has a thin skin, so she begged me the whole night to help her fight for what she
deserves…”
“I’ll keep it simple. Give us $7 million and we promise to disappear from your life completely!”
Elon could hardly wait to extort Stefan.
“Elon Barnes, shut the hell up!”

His words had dragged her reputation through the mud. She wished she could tear him into pieces!
Renee stole a careful glance at Stefan. She thought he would be furious, but… he was actually quite
calm. Still the same emotionless face that kept everyone at bay.
He stood tall like a celestial being, giving off a sense of oppression. He turned slightly and said, “Elijah,
take him to the finance office.”
Then, he simply walked away.
That… that’s it?
Elon swallowed hard. He could not believe it was that easy to earn $7 million.
Before he came, he was afraid that Stefan would be difficult to deal with, so he had even prepared a
small knife, intending to put up an act of harming himself to threaten Stefan.
Had he known that his niece-in-law was this generous, he would have asked for more!
After taking a few steps, Stefan suddenly turned back and looked coldly at Renee, who had

stood rooted to the spot with a confused face. He asked, “Aren’t you coming?”
Rence jolted back to her senses and quickly followed behind him.
Stefan went back to the visitors with Renee in tow and calmly introduced her to them.
Renee quickly calmed down and greeted the visitors. The way she carried herself with elegance and
dignity drew praise from them.
They took a photo together, talked for a bit, and happily concluded the visit.
Renee could finally heave a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the crisis was averted,
If Elon Barnes had messed up the visit due to the scene he caused, she would have felt so bad, not to
mention Stefan might make things hard for her.
Renee and Stefan stepped into the CEO’s private elevator. As soon as the elevator door closed, all
pretense of love and harmony between them dropped. Neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was
awkward,
While the elevator climbed, Rence stole a secret glance at Stefan.
His face was as cold as ice. It was scary!
Renee guessed that he was probably mad. After all, Elon Barnes’ embarrassing actions earlier would
probably have a negative impact not only on his reputation, but on H Group’s as well.

”
She cleared her throat softly and said, “I’m sorry for what happened just now. Elon Barnes is a rat.
Please don’t give him the $7 million he asked for or he’ll just keep coming back for more!””
Stefan’s face was chilly. Without even looking at Renee, he said coldly, “If you’re dissatisfied with the
alimony, you could have just told me directly instead of doing things in such a roundabout way.”
So he really had misunderstood her!
Renee could not find the words to retort. She thought hard about how she should explain it to
him so that he would believe her.
The elevator arrived at the floor where the CEO’s office was, and Stefan strode out.
A handsome figure was standing next to the french window in the corridor. At the moment, he
was looking at them with half a smile on his face. “Mr. CEO, you’re finally done with business. Do you
have time to talk to me now?”
When Renee saw who it was, she suddenly felt the urge to run away.
Tsk, it never rains but it pours!
