Renee was so angry that she punched Jovan in the back twice. She did it so naturally that it was like
they knew each other for a long time – there was no awkwardness between them at all.
Stefan’s expression twisted even more, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
“You see, Stefan… this is Renee’s real personality. She’s not dignified or gentle like you said, nor is she
elegant or prim and proper. The real Renee Everheart has a violent temper, and she beats people up
when she’s displeased with them. She always beats me up when she sees me; she’s basically a
tigress’ I bet you’ve never seen this side of her, have you?”
Although he’d just gotten punched, Jovan could not be happier. In fact, he even looked proud as he
crowed triumphantly, “You were married to her for so many years, but I bet she’s never punched you,
has she? That’s too bad… Research shows that when a woman is rxed enough to show her real self
to a man, she would be more likely to love the man with all her heart and spend the rest of her life with
him-“

“Shut up!” Stefan clenched his jaw and cut Jovan off abruptly. He coldly barked, “If you’re going to be a
pervert, then get out. Stop humiliating everyone here!”
Jovan merely smirked and continued, “You really are pathetic, Stefan Hunt. You had such an awesome
woman as your wife, but you threw it all away just to be with a scheming one instead. Don’t you know
how cool your ex- wife is? She used to be in a popr band, and was rebellious, edgy, and even had a
buzz cut! When she stood onstage ying the guitar, she shone brighter than the stars in the night sky.
That scheming woman can’t evenpare to the ground she walks on…*
“You probably didn’t know this,’ Jovan added, ‘but I was her biggest fan! I went to see all of her shows,
I bought every album of hers, and I even recorded all of her performances… I’ve seen so many sides of
her that you’ve never seen before, so believe me when I say I understand your own wife better than
you do. Doesn’t that make you feel ashamed of yourself?”
“That’s enough, Jovan!” Renee had to stop him by pressing her fingers on his forehead. She would die
of embarrassment if he kept going! She whispered to him, “Everyone has been young and frivolous
before, so stop bringing up the past! It’s irrelevant and doesn’t mean anything anymore.”
Thest thing she wanted was for Stefan to find out how ridiculous she was when she used to y in
an underground band. They had been trying to raise funds for children with leukemia back then, so
everyone in the band got a buzz cut to show their solidarity. They had even shaved their heads
completely bald once, and then bleached their hair blonde when it grew back. All in all, they had been
the textbook definition of rebellious youths that were loud, proud, and cool.
If Stefan actually explored this era of her past, she would have to dig herself a hole and hide in it for the
rest of her life. She would never be able to hold her head high ever again!
Jovan noticed how Stefan had fallen silent, so he added, “Do you know why I’ve always resented you
all these years? It’s because you destroyed my sacred idol! You were so lucky to have her, and yet you
never appreciated her! You had a diamond in your hand, yet you threw her into a crowd of mediocre
people! You polluted her and dulled her luster, turning her into amon lump of coal. You simply
didn’t know how to cherish a woman like her!”
Stefan stared at Jovan, who was seething with rage, and emotionlessly asked him, “So, what then?
What are you going to do about it?”
Jovan sneered, “I just wanted to warn you that you’re mistaken if you think you’ve won today. As long
as I’m alive, Stefan Hunt, I’ll definitely rece you and get my precious diamond back. I’ll let her radiate
her own brilliant light once again!”
“Well,” Stefan shrugged indifferently, “she’s right here. If you want her so much, you can just fight for
her with your own capabilities. What’s the point of dering war with me?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he strode straight out of the restroom, not even ncing at Renee as
he walked past her. It was as if the two wereplete strangers – that was how cold Stefan was!
