Stefan clenched his fists tightly, unable to respond.


    In the past, he had always perceived this woman as a boring little puppet with no opinions. He didn’t


    think she would have such a feisty attitude like she was a feline with sharp ws. She didn’t need his


    protection at all.


    Seeing this, Briar immediately yed the victim card again, clinging to Stefan’s arm.


    “Stefan, please don’t get mad at Miss Everheart. It’s all my and the baby’s fault! Miss Everheart was


    forced to give up on you even though she loves you so… It’s natural for her to be upset with us! Just let


    her take her anger out on…”


    “Nope, wrong again.” Renee scoffed. “You don’t have to thank me because I’ve made myself loud and


    clear that I wasn’t being generous. I merely threw away a piece of trash I didn’t want, and you just


    happened to pick him up. That’s why this baby is your karma. I told you the name suits it well, didn’t I?”


    She then turned to Stefan with a fake smile across her lips. “Indecent people usually get bad karma


    though, Mr. Hunt… I reckon that you will be rather unlucky ining times.”


    Stefan’s expression darkened yet again, his blood boiling just hearing the woman speak.


    “My mom used to tell me to avoid unlucky people, or else I might be unlucky myself. So you two


    should just tie the knot. I’ll respect your decision, and I wish you well. Bye-bye now!”


    All the previous insults were clearly an act of ying with fire since Stefan Hunt was the most influential


    figure within Beach City. No one would ever dare to provoke him the way she did.


    So before Stefan could do anything, Renee quickly ran off after berating them. She didn’t care about


    what they thought, she just wanted the satisfaction of doing so.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    ‘If they were truly offended by my words… they deserved it!’


    Once Renee left, Briar secretly observed the man, as she knew a temperamental man like him would


    never let such insults go. Yet, she only ended up with sheer confusion when she noticed the man’s thin


    lips curve up slightly as if he were… smiling.


    “Don’t be mad, Stefan. Miss Everheart was probably so angry that she ran her mouth. It’s my fault and


    the baby’s fault. Just me it on me if you have to, don’t hold any grudges against her…”


    Briar continued on and on, hoping for Stefan to take her bait. Despite her efforts, the man was irritated


    by her voice, and his gaze followed Renee until she was out of his sight.


    ‘Heh, my future ex-wife… is kind of interesting!’


    –


    Renee felt awful after exiting the hospital, as anger and a hint of mncholy stung her chest. She was


    mad at that horrible couple and sad for her child.


    Whenever she was reminded of the fetus inside her, growing ever so slowly, she felt extremely


    frustrated. ‘The baby could’ve had an amazing life, a bright future ahead! But it just had to die because


    of his useless, immoral father.’


    Taking a deep breath, the woman calmed down and brought out herptop. Her fingers leaped through


    the keyboard at a fast pace, typing out a long string of code in barely ten minutes. With that, a


    computer virus was created.


    Renee then merrily smirked as she activated the virus from within the system.


    Half an hourter, the H Group’s entire business system was hijacked, exposing arge amount of


    client information.


    Stefan was still at the hospital when he received a shocking call.


    “A virus?! Who did this?!”


    On the other side, Renee was sipping on a hot cup of coffee, admiring the light waves in the pond


    nearby. Experiencing the tranquility around her did, in fact, lighten her mood.


    She had mentioned that Stefan would face misfortunes in theing times, and she surely wasn’t


    lying. After all, that virus was enough to put hispany in a crisis for more than two weeks
