Chapter 51
The following day, the sun shone brightly. Elijah immediately sent Stefan all the pieces of information he had on Renee. After reading it, Stefan was shocked, and he had a new perception of her.
They had been married for four years and were about to get a divorce, and only now did he find out that his wife was the infamous genius that graduated from BC University.
She skipped two grades in high school and entered BC University without needing to take the exam. She studied Electronic Communications and Technology, majoring in Electromagnetic Field and Electromagnetic Wave
Direction.
She became the lecturer’s assistant in her second year, and whenever she was in class, it would be full of students. During her second year of postgraduate, she went to Asken as an exchange student and continued to have exceptional grades.
However, everything changed when she was in her final year.
The Everhearts faced insolvency and declared bankruptcy. Her parents committed suicide because they were unable to face reality. The former member of The Great Eight of Beach City had fallen and gained a slew of enemies. 1
Afterward, she became an orphan under Maurice’s care where Stefan rushed home under the threat of Old Mr. Hunt and immediately married Renee.
He wasn’t happy with the arranged marriage, so he hated her.
He still remembered the first time he met her. It was raining. She was wearing all white, and a white flower was hanging on her ear. She looked petite as she didn’t speak a word with a solemn face. 1
Stefan didn’t like women who were quiet and solemn, so his first impression of her wasn’t great.
As a result, he had never been interested in his wife in the previous four years. He obviously didn’t want to know her. He pretended to be a loving pair with her whenever he needed to attend an event, but they had no further interaction.
It was undeniable that Renee carried out her responsibilities as Mrs. Hunt. She was respectful and attentive to his grandparents. Even though she had been practically a widow for four years, she didn’t get involved in any scandals.
If it weren’t for Briar, he wouldn’t have minded going on with this marriage. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
After Renee woke up, she sat up from the bed and stretched her body. Last night was her most peaceful sleep in the past four years.
She looked around the room and didn’t see Stefan, and she instantly let out a breath of relief.
“He finally left!”
However, her hopes were crushed when she walked out of her room and saw him sitting on the sofa.
“Why are you still here? I thought, as the CEO of H Group, you should be busy.” She said, her expression filled with
disdain as she looked at the man. (1)
He put down the newspaper and looked at her calmly before saying, “Have some breakfast.”
Only then did she see there were all sorts of food on the dining table.
She felt conflicted.
Before this, she would be so happy, but now it was too late. It only felt funny seeing him do all this.
“Stefan, you really don’t have to.” She looked at him calmly as she said coldly, “First of all, we are married by contract, so no feelings are involved. Second, we’re about to get a divorce soon. Third, I think Briar needs this breakfast more than me.”
“To conclude, I hope you know your limits as my soon-to-be ex-husband. Please keep a distance from me and don’t bother me anymore, so people don’t misunderstand us.”
Her words were blunt to the point that it might have hurt him.
However, he wasn’t mad at her.
He stood up from the sofa and slowly approached her. In the still and silent air, they gazed at each other. He was taller than her, so his aura felt greater, as if he was suffocating her.
“So… Have you misunderstood something?” his voice was cold as he looked at her and asked.
