Chapter 278
When Xavier found that there was hope after all, his eyes lit up. He immediately said, "What's your
condition? Just tell me whatever you want as long as you can help me win this lawsuit!'
Renee did not beat around the bush either, and she said directly, "I want to rent the piece of land
belonging to your family in the southern suburbs for thirty years."
Considered one of the eight major families, the Stuarts mainly dabbled in real estate. Although they
focused on only one industry, their financial resources were particularly strong.
The Stuart family gained a lot of land in the earlier years because of their great connections, which
resulted in them constructing numerous famous luxury neighborhoods and commercial centers.
However, although the piece of land situated in the southern suburbs of Beach City was as large as
1500 square feet, its development value was low because it was located in a very remote place, and it
had been left vacant. Tall grass now overgrew the empty plot.
During those years, the Stuart family kept that piece of land due to a depression in the real estate
industry as well as the fact that no one could take over it. If one did, it would be a certain waste of
money, and they would only suffer losses.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRenee's request... was rather strange.
"Why do you want that piece? It's trouble, so no one dares to take it."
Xavier took a sip of coffee and asked curiously.
Renee smiled. She thought, 'He's pretty honest because he doesn't hesitate to talk bad about his
family.’
"That's not your concern. So, is that yes or no?"
Renee replied mysteriously.
"I can't wait to pass it to you if you want it. Anyone who invests in that place will suffer a great loss. I
sincerely suggest that you do not take over that piece of land. If you want to invest in real estate, my
family has some better lots for you to consider.’
Xavier added loyally.
He subconsciously regarded her as his friend after she claimed that he was her friend, and one wasn't
about to shortchange one's friend.
Renee shook her head and said firmly, "I don't need anything else but that piece of land. If you promise
me, I'll immediately ask Zack to sign a contract with you and become your defense attorney."
"Deal!”
When he noticed how straightforward she was, he behaved in the same way too, and said, ‘Til rent it to
you at the lowest price. You're bold, but don't blame me if you can't develop it."
"Deal!"
She raised her coffee cup to him.
Unexpectedly, everything had gone so smoothly. She thought Xavier was the hardest to persuade, but
it turned out that he was the easiest to talk to.
As expected, one could never judge a book by its cover.
Xavier only grew more curious about Renee. He stared at her as if it was the first time he had met her.
He sighed with sentimental feelings, "Why do I feel that you're nicer to look at after your divorce? Do
you know how annoying you were when you acted like an obedient rich wife in the past?" Renee raised
her brows and replied, "Yeah, I felt that my world became wonderful after the divorce. All the people I
met were nice. In the past... I was just everyone's punching bag. I was never liked; it was as if the
identity as Stefan’s wife was some kind of sin.’
During these years when she was married to Stefan, she led a careful and humble life. She carefully
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand meticulously tried to please everyone, but everyone treated her with disdain.
On the contrary, the servants who bullied her in the past started respecting her after the divorce. Even
her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, who used to scold her, did not dare to offend her now. Xavier, who
always rolled his eyes at her and mocked her, also began to chat with her happily.
"I feel that my bad luck is the result of no one else but Stefan. As long as I leave him, my good energy
will return to me, and my life will become normal."
With a bitter smile, Renee elaborated sincerely.
'Humph! If Stefan heard that, he would be greatly infuriated...'
Xavier added, "He's taken a fancy to you now, but you ceased to like him. You guys have different
tempos, so you're destined to be an unhappy couple."
However, Renee sneered and said, "You're kidding! He doesn't take a fancy to me. It's just his
temporary possessiveness."
"Perhaps..."
Xavier sighed and said, "Stefan doesn't have much experience in love. He doesn't even know if he's
taken a fancy to you, though there's one thing we can be sure of. He's been paying much attention to
you these days and even asked me for the techniques for pursuing women. He even jotted them down.
He claims he wants to acquire your heart.
