Chapter 34
Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, picking up the call with a scowl.
“Mr. Hunt, the infamous hacker, Haze, has arrived at the H Group main offices. He said he can find out
who Phoenix is, and he would like to see you now.”
Oh?” Stefan instantly got to his feet upon hearing this.
He wondered. “So… that hacker who made a fool out of H Group is finally going to be unmasked?
Interesting!”
“Tell him to wait for a while, I’ll head over right now.” Stefan hung up, and started straightening his
clothes. The sudden coldness and hostility on his face was such a stark contrast to the passionate
expression he had on earlier.
Having been so close to the man while he was on the phone, Renee had naturally overheard the
conversation as well.
She had actually intended to meet with Haze for quite some time, but never had the opportunity to.
Now that the opportunity had presented itself, she couldn’t possibly allow herself to miss it.
“Leaving already, Mr. Hunt?” Renee asked softly as she looked at him.

“I’ll go with you.” 1
Stefan quickly turned around, squinting at the woman suspiciously. “What are you scheming this time?”
He was genuinely worried that his future ex-wife had something up her sleeve. She might look
innocent, but he had no idea what was going through her head right now.
“What are you saying? You’re the mighty CEO of H Group who rules over everyone in Beach City! Why
would I dare to plot against you?” Renee grinned, looking at him innocently.
Stefan, however, was expressionless. He knew she was lying, but he also wanted to see how long
she’d keep up the act.
Renee hopped off her bed, picking up a shawl to cover herself up. “I thought about it last night, and I
agree. to your deal. I will continue pretending to be your wife.”
“Really?” Stefan was rather surprised, and his eyes visibly lit up.
Just as he was about to say something, Renee lifted her hand and stopped him. “There’s no need to
thank me. I’m not doing this for you or the Hunt family… I’m only doing this for old Mr. Hunt.”
This time, Renee was telling the truth. She had already done quite a lot for the Hunts, which was more
than enough to repay them for their kindness. However, old Mr. Hunt was someone she loved dearly,
as he was like a grandfather to her. She simply didn’t wish to see the old man’s health deteriorate
because of their failed relationship.
Hearing this, Stefan didn’t pursue the topic any further. His voice was monotonous as he murmured, “I’ll
wait for you outside.”
Soon after the man exited her room, Renee opened up her closet and changed into a nice sheath
dress. She stood before her mirror and gazed at her stomach. She didn’t know if she was imagining it,
but it looked like her stomach had grown a bit bigger.
‘I don’t have much time left. I need to get things done quickly!”
The Rolls-Royce Phantom parked in front of the H Group building, and many employees nearly
cheered when they saw Renee walking inside, her arm linked with Stefan’s.
“Oh my god! I knew I was right to ship them!”
“That mistress is nothing! Our boss has only ever loved Mrs. Hunt! It’s true love!”
Elijah walked up to welcome the two, but was extremely confused to see Stefan and Renee acting so’
lovey-dovey’. However, with something more important at hand, he wasn’t in the mood to pry.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mr. Hunt, you’re finally here. Haze is currently waiting at the technical department. That guy is so
arrogant! He said he would only talk to you, and that he wouldn’t wait for long!” Elijah initially thought
that he himself was odd, but meeting Haze made him think otherwise.
“Mhm. Stefan didn’t say anything else, but his expression darkened as he walked towards the elevator.
Naturally, Renee followed him.
“Mrs. Hunt, you don’t have to join this meeting, right?” Elijah asked hesitantly. “There’s this new dessert
shop that’s opened on the lower ground floor. Would you like to go there?”
Not only would the conversation with Haze involve confidential information, the assistant simply didn’t
want to bore her, especially since he was under the impression that she wouldn’t understand a thing.
“It’s alright.” Stefan didn’t seem to mind, as he also figured that she wouldn’t understand anything.
The three then got into the private elevator for the CEO, and headed straight towards the technical
department, which was on the 16th floor.
“Ten, nine, eight, seven…”
In the distance, a cocky and carefree voice echoed from the technical department. 1
“Last three seconds. If he doesn’t arrive by then, I’m leaving.”
