Chapter 134

“I’m clearly doing this because…” Renee paused, then grinned mysteriously as she half joked, I want

your money!”

Stefan now looked rather speechless. He could tell that the woman was being dismissive, and her reply

basically gave him no information on the situation.

“I told you that you can ask me for money if you need it. We were husband and wife, so I’ll definitely try

to satisfy your financial needs as best as I can. You don’t have to beat around the bush when it comes

to things like this.”

“Just ask you?” Renee smiled sarcastically. “What if I said I wanted half of the Hunt family’s wealth?

Would

you be willing to give that to me?”

Hearing this, Stefan’s expression darkened. “That’s ridiculous!”

“Aw, and here I was thinking that my ex-husband was so generous. Looks like you’re still going to be

stingy when it comes to paying up. You can’t even afford this little request…”

Although the man looked exceedingly upset, Renee didn’t seem to be worried about irritating him

further. “You don’t know me, okay? I’m really greedy. Those few millions may be enough

for others, but not me!”

After all, she was going to be a single mother of two soon. She needed to be extremely mindful of her

financial situation. She wanted to be just as rich as Stefan, so her children wouldn’t

regret being under her care as they grew up.

Stefan had never expected his gentle and obedient wife to be this greedy and demanding. However,

her ‘greed’ seemed rather motivational as well. She didn’t want anything handed to her. On the

contrary, she wanted to waste the time and effort to ‘steal’ from him.

He wasn’t quite sure how to feel about the situation, with both disdain and admiration for the stubborn

woman warring inside him.

“You naive woman… Do you really think taking my lawyers, and signing a contract with South Group

will make everything easier?” Stefan warned with a serious expression.

“The business industry is like a warzone, it’s not like playing house. If you’re not careful, you might get

yourself tangled up in something you can’t get out of. You haven’t forgotten how your family ended,

have you?”

The man’s words hurt Renee deeply, and she clenched her fists tightly. She definitely knew the dangers

of the business industry. The Everheart family was once one of the Great Eight of Beach City as well.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, their glorious reign had crumbled to dust before

her. Renee actually still remembered how their enemies would push them to the edge. However, she

did not wish to relive those memories anymore…

Stefan’s sharp eyes noticed the pain in her expression, so he spoke a bit more gently, “I heard about

the harsh requirements South Group asked of you. They need you to hit eight billion in sales, right? Do

you know how much pressure that would be for a small company like yours? You can never achieve

that within the given time frame!”

“I would know if I can achieve it or not, alright?” Renee retorted bitterly.

“Don’t act tough in front of me. You’re my ex-wife, and we aren’t holding any grudges against each

other. I don’t want to see you fail, or you’ll just be humiliating me along with you.” Stefan pretended to

be cruel to hide the fact that he was actually concerned about her.

Renee didn’t realize that he was worried about her; all she heard was his arrogance and contempt. She

chuckled coldly and asked, “So, Mr. Hunt, what are you trying to tell me?”

“To put it simply, you’re not cut out for this field, and you don’t even have the basic knowledge to run a

business, so stop messing around. I’ll give you a generous amount of money, so you can just enjoy

your life as you like,” Stefan replied bluntly.

In his opinion, she shouldn’t have entered this industry to begin with, knowing just how dangerous it

could be. Back when they were still married, the Hunt family was Renee’s biggest protector. No one

would ever dare to cross her, let alone take advantage of her.

‘And yet this stupid woman was so excited to officially announce our divorce! She was basically making

herself a living target for the public. She should just remain a pretty little flower in a garden, and stay

away from the battlefield. That’s the safest option. All she needs to do at this point is enjoy life.’

Renee, meanwhile, found it insulting that he proposed ‘protection’. She responded heatedly, Don’t

judge a book by its cover, Mr. Hunt. You’ll soon see if I’m cut out for this field or not!”

“You stubborn woman!” Stefan didn’t mind playing the bad guy at this point. “Then don’t mind if I team

up with the summit to boycott Azure Group!”
