“Yes. That’s exactly what I mean.” As Timothy listened to them, tears welled up in his eyes, and he felt


    a surge of pride. “It’s no surprise you’re Ren’s children. You’re both very intelligent, and your thinking is


    very mature. Your emotions are also stronger than your father’s. It’s the Hunt family’s good fortune to


    have gotten such good genes from the Everheart family.”


    Alexander was astounded by his grandchildren’s intelligence, but he wasn’t about to give in as he


    protested feebly, “Dad, Stefan’s genes aren’t bad either. If the children supposedly inherited their


    mother’s emotional intelligence, they must have inherited their father’s intelligence as well.”


    “Nonsense!” Timothy rolled his eyes at Alexander. “Did you know Ren is a top student? She skipped


    grades and pursued her master’s and doctoral degrees in the most difficult subject, physics. Stefan


    cannotpete with her – he’s only good at business.”


    Renee had wheeled Stefan into the living room just as Timothy was criticizing him, and Stefan instantly


    scowled.


    “Oh, Ren, you’re here with Stefan! How thoughtful of you!” Francine approached them and joyfully


    embraced Renee. She paid no attention to Stefan, who was seated in the wheelchair.


    “It must have been exhausting for you to drive here while taking care of this nuisance, Ren. Come and


    take a seat. Do you want anything to drink?” She guided Renee to the sofa and sat next to her, then


    instructed the servant to prepare the best coffee possible.


    “I’m not thirsty or tired.” Renee didn’t have the time to entertain Francine’s excessive cheerfulness as


    she nced at Timothy, her eyes teary as she said, “Grandpa Hunt, I’m sorry for beingte. I had no


    idea…”

    When Timothy heard this, he scoffed, “What do you mean byte? I’m still alive and kicking! I can eat


    two tes of food at the same time, and I’m a great deal stronger than all of you kids put together!”


    “That’s good.” Renee nodded with a wobbly smile, trying to keep her emotions in check.


    The kids rushed into her arms tofort her. “Mommy, don’t be sad. Great-grandpa promised to be a


    star and protect us.”


    “Yes. We’ll all eventually be stars and meet in the sky!” Renee was touched by her children’s


    words.


    Everyone talked andughed together, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Only Stefan sat


    alone in the wheelchair, looking depressed. Nobody bothered talking to him or even pushed him


    around.


    “Have you all finished talking? Is anybody going to pay attention to me?” He couldn’t keep his cool any


    longer. “I hurt my back, you know. Isn’t anybodying to assist me to move?”


    Timothy looked at him and remarked tly, “You’re a big man. Aren’t you embarrassed to admit that you


    damaged your back?”


    “It’s not like you broke your back,” Alexander scoffed. “What are you whining for?”


    Francine, on the other hand, had no time for him since she was preupied with the children. She


    would feed Adie, and then Abby, her joyfulughter ringing out.


    ‘Are they ignoring me? This isn’t possible… It’s time for me to take action!’ Stefan thought.
