Chapter 1182
Renee would no longer have to worry once she's brought Joanne back to reconcile with her brother, after all.
"Hell no." Liam refused, putting his index fingers into the shape of an 'X'. "I can't even handle being there, and I play
around a lot! You're a girl and a beautiful one at that! Who knows what would happen when you're there! I wont let
you risk your life!"
"I heard it's a pretty hellish place. Even a beast would be left with scars all over its body. But don't you know me?
When have I, Renee Everheart, ever been scared of anyone?"
"I know you're strong, but you need to know that there are stronger people out there. My master is no joke! I
almost made him explode when I refused to be his godson and escaped! He might imprison you and make you his
concubine if you went there!"

back, increasing her force with every word she spoke until it was unbearable to him.
"So, are you going to tell me or not?"
"No!"
"I'll break your arms if you don't." Renee was quite skilled when it came to punishments, increasing force with every
passing second.
"Ow ow ow!' Liam couldn't take it anymore and gave in. "Fine, but I'll go with you. He's my master, after all. I'm sure
he won't cross the line if I'm there."
Renee hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, you can come, no one can lay a finger on you with me
around."
However, before going through with this plan, she had somewhere else she needed to be.
As the hate was still trending on the internet, H Group's share prices were greatly affected. Moreover, there were
paparazzi outside their headquarters every single day, which only made matters worse.
Stefan was sitting at his large office at the time, massaging his temples out of exhaustion and frustration. He had
not expected this grudge from five years ago to be dug up, placing him as the target of everyone's hate.
Thinking back on his feud with Quinton, he knew that he was indeed too brutal back then. However, he did it out of
circumstance, having just taken over the company at the time. He had no choice but to be cruel to secure his
position.
His family was unhappy with the fact that he took over H Group, and so were his employees. The only person they
trusted was his brother, Tristan.
Hence, being young and reckless, he was eager to make a name for himself and decided he'd like to talk business
in Water Dock.

At the time, Water Dock was overrun by the Carmine Pawnshop, which resulted in a never-ending rivalry between
the two, and they were at a stalemate.
At the very least, it was until a key figure appeared...
"Mr. Hunt, someone is requesting an audience of you." The secretary knocked on the door, speaking in a respectful
and careful tone.
"It's probably those annoying reporters again, isn't it? Tell them I’m not seeing anyone!" Stefan was annoyed.
He simply never expected any of this information to have been leaked, let alone in such a touching article. With
that, he really didn't have a clue as to how to deal with this for now.
"Mr. Hunt, are you sure you don't want to see anyone?" The secretary asked carefully again.
"Cant you understand me? I won’t be seeing anyone."
"But... the person requesting an audience is... the ex-Mrs. Hunt."
Stefan's expression softened, and quickly spoke without hesitation. "Let her in."
"Alright, Mr. Hunt." The secretary nodded and sighed to themselves, i 'Mr. Hunt sure has a double standard! How
adorable!'
