Renee shot up to instant fame after the summit forum despite beingpletely unknown prior to it. She


    had be the darling of the electronics technology industry. Many people came to chat with her and


    wanted to take photos with her, and it was almost as if everything else was forgotten.


    It was customary for the sessful conclusion of the summit forum to be followed by a celebration


    banquet attended by all of the big yers in the industry. Naturally, Stefan and Renee were both


    expected to join the banquet.


    The two sat down at the same round table, but there were several people seated between them.


    Despite having been in a very intimate rtionship as husband and wife in the past, not a single word


    passed between them for the duration of the event. In fact, they did not even make


    eye contact once.


    Truthfully, it was Renee who did not spare Stefan a nce. Stefan, on the other hand, kept his eyes


    fixed on Renee, giving her the legendary ‘Hunt Stare’ the whole time.


    With a ss of drink in her hand and a casual smile on her face, Renee was able to interact with the


    big names of the industry with ease. The sight of herughing and chatting with everyone else made


    her look like a sessful entrepreneur who had been in the game for many years. There was not a


    single trace of the old Mrs. Hunt, who was always shy, reserved and


    submissive.


    Stefan wore a gloomy expression throughout the meal. It was as if he had a ‘Do Not Disturb’. sign on


    his face. Anytime someone came up to him to propose a toast or to congratte him, they would be


    scared off by his icy, piercing re. This kept everyone there from approaching him, and they resorted


    to merely observing him from afar.


    This created an interesting scenario in the banquet hall, where the people were clearly divided into two


    main groups – on Renee’s side, everyone wasughing and chatting away happily; on Stefan’s side,


    everyone was silent and the atmosphere was gloomy.


    Elijah was standing behind Stefan, and just like him, his eyes had been following Renee very closely.


    “Mr. Hunt,” he uttered in a hushed voice, “I never imagined Mrs. Hunt had such a powerful side to her


    personality that’s been tucked away for so long! Not only did she turn out to be a technological genius,


    she’s also a masterfulmunicator too! How did we never notice this?”


    Stefan pursed his lips and said nothing in reply, but his expression turned even darker.


    “Didn’t you even say,” Elijah babbled on like an idiot who did not know how to read the room,


    that you’d let the new director of the association cklist Azure Group? Well, now it looks like we’d be


    lucky if Mrs. Hunt doesn’t cklist H Group! What a p in the face! I must say, that’s really impressive


    of her.”

    Stefan threw a chilling re at Elijah, then hissed dangerously, “You should cut off that tongue of yours


    since it’s so useless.”


    “Mr. Hunt,” Elijah daringly continued like someone who was not afraid of death, “I think you’d better just


    set your ego aside and remarry Mrs. Hunt. She’s no longer the kind of woman who’s afraid to even step


    outside. She’s now the respected director of the Electronics


    Technology Association. If you remarry her, both of you can form a powerful alliance that can easily


    conquer the world!”


    Stefan remained silent, but he stared at Renee even more intently. The Hunt family was the head of the


    eight most powerful families in Beach City, and H Group was so powerful that it was practically


    invincible, so there was no need for Stefan to be thinking about finding a wife just to make himself even


    more powerful. But still… there was no harm in considering remarrying Renee. After all, he despised


    the way she surrounded herself among all those men.


    away from everyone All he wanted to do right now was drag her home and hide her away


    else!


    The possessiveness and jealousy that burned in him shocked Stefan himself, and the furrow between


    his brows deepened without him realizing it.


    Seeing that Stefan said nothing in reply, Elijah assumed that his boss agreed with his suggestion.


    Mustering up his courage, he cleared his throat and turned to Renee. “Ms. Everheart, Mr. Hunt here


    would like to have a drink with you. He’s got something he’d like to talk to you about in private!”


    At the time, Renee was happily chatting away with the Minister of the Technology Industry and other


    prominent figures in the field, but as soon as she heard what Elijah said, the smile on her face faded


    abruptly.


    She swirled the ss in her hand, which was filled with orange juice, and turned towards Stefan. An


    expression that Stefan had never seen before appeared in her eyes. With an


    inscrutable air, she said, “Since it’s an invitation from Mr. Stefan Hunt himself, it’s an honor I can’t


    possibly refuse,”
