Chapter 611
Stefan Hunt sat there like a king, dazzling and charming the people around him. It was clear that the man was a
born leader - nobody could take their eyes off him. Even the reporters from popular media companies who were
initially only interested in getting their hands on sensational news were now so captivated by Stefan’s charisma that
they forgot to take notes.
Sitting amidst hundreds of other guests in the audience, Renee's icy gaze was locked on the man on the stage. Her
fists were clenched so tightly that her fingernails dug deep into her flesh.
So, Stefan Hunt had been alive all this time... and had now returned more powerful and arrogant than ever! It was
truly a pity that she'd spent all that time grieving and shedding tears for him. It was all for nothing! Renee felt like

Xavier crossed his legs, looking as if he knew all along that this would happen.
"I can't believe Stefan actually went through with his outrageous plan!" He exclaimed with a grin. "But I've got to
give it to him - this time he really managed to beat that slimeball Jovan Hunt! He went overboard with his little
scheme, though; I didn't think he’d disappear for so long, especially with all those crazy rumors about him going
around... He's like one of those medieval knights who’d endure torture and humiliation for the sake of victory!”
"You mean," Renee said slowly, "you knew he was alive, and others knew it too? Was Alexander Hunt in on this too?"
"Of course!" Xavier replied enthusiastically. "It's a huge undertaking, after all! He did give us hints that he was safe
so we wouldn't be worried about him or do anything rash. If we’d done something, like go after Jovan, we'd never
be able to lure out the mastermind backing him..."
When Renee was silent, Xavier turned to her and asked hesitantly, "You didn't actually think that he was dead, did
you? Didn't Stefan drop you any hints?”
"No," Renee shook her head, her face sullen with disappointment, "he didn't. M
"No way... He wouldn't possibly hide such a big thing from you! You're the most important person in the world to
him, so he definitely would've hinted at something. Anybody would know that you'd be worried about him!"
Xavier blurted out, defending his friend even though he figured that Stefan had clearly not thought this through.
Stefan Hunt had dug his own grave, and Xavier couldn't help him out of it.
Renee smiled bitterly, thinking how foolish she was to have worried about him. "Clearly, I'm nothing to him, so why
should he think of me when he decides to do something?"
"Um..." Xavier inwardly kicked himself, and hastily added, "That's not what I meant, Renee... Maybe it's because you
mean so much to him that he had to keep you in the dark about it. That way, it'd be more believable, and the target
would definitely take the bait."

"So, I guess that just makes me one of the pawns in his plan, huh?" Renee sneered, now understanding why Jovan
had taken her to Stefan's grave that day. Despite him wanting to boast about replacing Stefan, he probably wanted
to see her reaction to the news. When he saw how genuinely upset she was, he was then convinced that Stefan
really was dead.
"Don't say that, Renee! There's always a misunderstanding between the both of you, and if you think that way, it'll
only get worse! When are you both going to move past it?" Xavier protested.
"Never!" Renee snarled, her eyes shining with rage. "It will never be resolved, because from now on, Stefan Hunt
and I will forever be strangers to each other! If we ever cross paths in this dog-eat-dog world of business, it would
be as competitors, not friends, and if that happens, you can be sure that I'll fight him to the death!"
Just as Renee finished her sentence, she noticed a microphone hovering near her mouth. Realization struck her,
and she slowly looked up to see everyone's eyes on her, including Stefan's...
