Renee once told Liam that Stefan wasn’t good at drinking, and that he was like an elementary school


    kid when it came to drinking games. That was why Liam had prepared a bottle of the strongest vodka


    he could find. He wanted to y a drinking game with Stefan until he became drunk. Liam would then


    humiliate Stefan and avenge Renee.


    Liam felt that Stefan was a proud person. With some encouragement, he would certainly ept the


    challenge.


    However, to Liam’s surprise, his n didn’t work.


    Stefan didn’t n on epting the challenge at all. He stood up and turned to face Christopher and


    Xavier. “Something came up. I’ll catch youter.”


    After that, he turned to Shirley. “Come with me.”


    ’Huh. I… Can I?” Shirley’s eyes were wide in disbelief. She was an ordinary college student, and it was


    her first time working in a bar as a part-timer. Everything that had happened tonight felt like a dream to


    her.

    Stefan didn’t answer her, and just walked towards the bar’s exit.


    ’W-Wait for me!” Shirley grabbed her purse and mustered the courage to follow him. From her


    perspective, Stefan was more than a knight in shining armor. Even if there was a sliver of hope, she’d


    grab onto it tightly and not let go.


    The two of them walked out one after the other, and everyone else was in shock.


    Even Xavier, who had been unconditionally supporting Stefan, couldn’t resistining. “Damn. He


    didn’t drink much today, so what the hell is he thinking? Does he really have feelings for that girl? That


    girl really does look like his ex-wife. He’s leaving the real thing behind and going for the fake version…


    What’s wrong with him?”


    Christopher nced in the direction where Stefan and Shirley had gone, then looked at Renee. A


    yful smile appeared on his face. “Stefan is serious this time.”


    ‘Serious? About that girl?” Xavier shook his head. “I don’t think so!”


    Christopher chuckled. “I didn’t say he’s serious about that girl.”


    ’This is some. Today’s supposed to be your bachelor party, so why did Stefan leave on his own?


    Even if he does have feelings for that girl, can’t he just resist them for a while?” Xavier asked.


    A man and a woman meet at a bar, and they then leave together. Even a fool knows what’s going to


    happen next.


    Liam hurled his ss onto the floor and snarled, “Stefan is a heartless scumbag! He’s ying with


    someone’s feelings. He’ll get his karma soon enough!”


    Liam returned to Renee’s side with his head hung low. “Sorry, Boss… I didn’t avenge you. I wasn’t


    expecting him to be such a jerk!”


    Renee didn’t react to his words. In fact, she smiled as she shuffled the tarot cards she was holding. It


    seemed like she didn’t care about what happened earlier at all.


    Boss, don’t be sad. You’re divorced already. He can find someone new, and so can you. If he’s going


    for someone younger, you can go for someone younger too!”


    Renee didn’t say anything, and slowly ced the shuffled cards on the table. She then randomly


    picked one and smiled. “The sun card… It represents freedom and sess. My luck is about to


    change, so there’s nothing to be sad about.”


    Liam and Leia looked at each other. They felt sorry for Renee. When a girl started believing in


    superstitions and mystic arts, that meant she had been hurt badly and was hoping to heal. Although


    Renee appeared to be very carefreetely, she was probably struggling on the inside…


    “I’m tired. Let’s go home!” Renee said suddenly and stood up.


    When she walked past Christopher’s table, he called out to her. “Ms.


    Everheart, do you have a minute?”


    Renee stopped walking and turned to look at him.


    Christopher smiled apologetically. “Stefan is the emotional equivalent of a rock when ites to


    rtionships. He doesn’t know how to express how he truly feels, so please don’t mind his childish


    behavior.”


    Renee shrugged. “It doesn’t matter. We have nothing to do with each other now, so he can do whatever


    he wants. I don’t care.”


    Christopher shook his head and didn’t say anything.


    After that, he retrieved an invite from his bag. “Cecilia and I are getting married tomorrow. I wanted to


    ask Stefan to pass this to you, but it seems like a better idea for me to personally hand it to you. I hope


    you’lle tomorrow.”


    Renee was a little surprised. She and Christopher had only met on two or three asions, so she


    wasn’t expecting an invitation to such a private event.


    However, after thinking about it, the Jacobs family was very powerful in the realm of politics. Being on


    good terms with them would be very helpful for the Everheart family’s future developments.


    Renee epted the invite with a grin. “Thank you for inviting me. I’ll make sure to show up in style.”


    After Renee left, Christopher grabbed hold of Julian. “Kid, you’ve got some exining to do. Why are


    you so close to your aunt-inw?”


    “Didn’t you hear? They’re already divorced. She’s not my aunt-inw anymore,” Julian answered


    casually.


    ‘ Don’t mess around. Your uncle is serious this time,” Christopher said sternly.


    “Really? I couldn’t tell.” Julian’s arrogant demeanor was very much like Stefan’s. “I already gave him a


    chance. He didn’t appreciate it, and he even made things worse. He can’t me me for giving it a shot


    now.”


    Over the years, Julian had met all kinds of people through his carefree way of living, but he hadn’t met


    someone as interesting as Renee for a very long time…


    Julian wasn’t sure if his feelings for Renee were romantic, but he certainly was interested in her.
