When Jeremy heard this, he squinted a little before smiling. “Stefan, it has to be a
misunderstanding. Your grandfather is a great wartime hero, and I admire him. Why would there be any
bad blood between us?”
“Is that so?” Stefan asked slowly. He took a sip of his tea, wondering whether Jeremy was telling the
truth. In reality, he had already carried out a thorough investigation on Sunder Group before deciding to
work with them, and the results hadn’t given him any reason to think that there was any bad blood
between the Sunder family and the Hunt family.
However, Stefan also hadn’t had the best rtionship with his grandfather. Thetter had refused to
see him for a long time, so Stefan couldn’t ask him about this in person.
“Of course, it’s true,” Jeremy said firmly. However, he seemed a little guilty. After hesitating for a
moment, he decided to be frank. “Back then, I used to be a young and energetic man, so I
deceased father–inw.” might have had a bit of conflict with your
“Renee’s father?” Stefan’s eyes turned cold. “What happened between you two?”
“What else could happen between two grown men? It’s either business… or women!” Jeremy replied
with a sigh.
“That was a long time ago. At the time, your father–inw wasn’t in a rtionship with your mother–in–
law yet. He and I had been business rivals for many years, but we also ended up falling for the same
woman, and fought over her big time. In the end, that woman had us both fooled. She ended up not
choosing either of us and just disappeared…” Jeremy’s eyes zed over in disappointment as he
talked about his past.
The thing that upset him the most wasn’t what happened between him and Renee’s father – was the
woman who had yed both him and Renee’s father for fools.

“Stefan, you might not know it, but women are good at pretending to be weak and vulnerable. They can
drain you dry with their lies if you’re not careful. Don’t ever let a woman control you,
otherwise…”
For some reason, Jeremy’s words instantly reminded Stefan of Renee. Renee was apletely
different woman nowpared to when they had gotten married.
Stefan felt that no truer words had been said… Women were indeed creatures who were good at
pretending.
“Don’t worry, Stefan. The Sunder family and the Hunt family don’t have anything against each other.
Even if there’s bad blood between your father–inw and I, that happened many years ago. Your
father–inw has been gone for four years now, so there’s no point in holding a
grudge against the Sunder family, is there?” Jeremy sounded rather disappointed.
“Besides, our families have not been in touch for years. You’re being considerate towards your wife, but
has your wife ever been considerate towards you? I heard that your wife was the one who pried away
South Group and linked them up with the Osborne family. She seems to have a much more
complicated rtionship with Geronimo’s son than we might think. Why should you care about a traitor
like that?” The older man scoffed.
Stefan’s expression turned even colder after hearing what Jeremy said, and the atmosphere
became tense.
Jeremy raised his brows and decided to go all out. “Stefan, don’t be mad. I’m not trying to sow discord
between you and your wife because I want the partnership with H Group. It’s just that I think women
shouldn’t be given too much respect, or else they might stab you in the back! We don’t have to sign the
contract today, but you must take in what I said,” he added.

After that, Jeremy started packing his things to leave.
Stefan frowned. He didn’t n to stay either. He could sense that the bad blood between Jeremy and
his father–inw wasn’t as simple as Jeremy described. He needed to investigate this further before
deciding to work with Sunder Group.
Suddenly, Stefan received a call from Elijah.
“Mr. Hunt, something’s happened! Are you in front of the television? Hurry up and switch it on … Has
Mrs. Hunt gone mad?!”
