Mr. Q placed his hands together and replied, “If Stefan Hunt really were to fight you for custody, what do you think
your biggest disadvantage would be?”
“I don’t think I have any disadvantages.” Renee seemed cocky, replying coldly. “I raised both of them, that’s a big
enough advantage. He has nothing against me.”
“If it was someone else, they might not be able to win against you, but this man is Stefan Hunt – he has H Group
behind his back. As long as they wish it, both the court and the public would surely favor them without questions. If
you don’t have a perfect plan to counter his attacks, you might just lose horribly.”
Renee clenched her fists, looking slightly depressed. “What would be a perfect plan, then?”
“Back to my previous question. If Stefan Hunt were to fight for custody, I think your biggest disadvantage would be
the environment you could provide for the children, not your financial status or education level…”

“Children need to be raised in a healthy environment. Imagine this – if they followed Stefan Hunt, they would have a
father, grandparents, and a large extended family to provide them with love and care… You, however, are all
alone, you’re all that’s left of the Everheart family. An incomplete family would negatively affect a child’s
upbringing. If you don’t come up with a solution, you will become the losing party when you two go to court.” Mr. Q
analyzed the situation thoroughly.
Although it was harsh, it was the truth.
Renee’s determined gaze slowly became gloomier, but she continued putting up a tough act. “So what? The
children are close to me, they wouldn’t want to leave me! Besides, I have the best lawyers on my side, so I’m not
afraid of facing him in court.”
“You’re so naive…” Mr. Q chuckled. “You should know that children below eight years of age have no say in
choosing a parent to follow. As for your lawyers… you need to know that there will be better talents out there, so
you can’t say for sure yours are the best. I’m very sure that Stefan Hunt has the power and wealth to find people
like that.”
Renee was feeling enraged at this point, and shot the man a fierce glare. “What are you trying to say? You keep
talking about how great our enemy is, and undermining our team! Do you want that jerk to take the kids away?”
“Nope!” Mr. Q shook his head, completely serious. “I don’t want that to happen, which is why I’m forming this plan
with you. We can’t allow Stefan Hunt even a single chance to win.”
“So? Have you thought of any solutions?”
“Of course!” The man finally started expressing his actual thoughts. “Let’s get legally married, and give the children
a complete family. Abby and Adie are fond of me too. We’re capable enough to provide them a good environment
and proper education too. With that, Stefan Hunt would have close to no chance of winning custody.”

“Stop messing around!” Renee’s face turned red and she felt awkward. “It’s ridiculous enough that we have to put
up an act in front of the kids every single day! Now you even want us to ‘try out’ getting legally married! This is
insanity… I can’t accept this!”
“I’m just throwing out suggestions. It’s fine if you can’t accept it, but well… I just hope you don’t come to regret this
decision when you’re in court with Stefan Hunt.” Mr. Q leaned against the couch casually, staring at the ceiling with
a slight smirk.
“Oh and… just one more thing. If Stefan Hunt were to marry another woman, he’ll undoubtedly have a 100%
chance of winning.”
That night, Renee tossed and turned the whole night, unable to fall asleep at all. Mr. Q’s words might have been
upsetting, but he was merely being realistic.
Everything was still fine with Stefan not knowing about the two children’s existence. However, if he ever found out,
they would certainly have to cross paths in court.
Although she had three trump cards within Hunts & Co. Law Firm, she had no idea if Stefan could find a better
lawyer to take his case. She really didn’t have full confidence that she could win this…
