Renee directed a reassuring smile at the secretary. “Don’t worry, I’ll be able to handle it…”
After that, virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net chin and strode confidently into Stefan’s office.
Just as virtual-novel.net expected, virtual-novel.net found the little mistress, Briar Desrosiers, in there.
The woman was sobbing in Stefan’s arms but quickly moved away as soon as virtual-novel.net saw Renee enter the office as if virtual-novel.net had been caught red-handed doing something bad.
“Miss Everheart, please don’t misunderstand, we were just…”
“Save it…” Renee put up virtual-novel.net hand. Turning to Stefan, virtual-novel.net said, “Sorry for interrupting your date, Mr. Hunt, but I’m here for the divorce settlement. I’ll leave once I’ve obtained your signature.”
Stefan rested his arms on his desk and without a hint of emotion on his face, virtual-novel.net responded, “Oh that… Do you really need it in such a hurry?”
What the hell is virtual-novel.net saying? Renee thought as virtual-novel.net suppressed the urge to beat virtual-novel.net up.
Through gritted teeth, virtual-novel.net growled, “What do you think?!”
“There’s still twenty days till we are legally divorced. I think it’s fine to wait it out.” Stefan said with a deadpan expression.
Renee clenched virtual-novel.net fists tightly. Never in virtual-novel.net life has virtual-novel.net felt the urge to punch virtual-novel.net more.
Did that thug really hit virtual-novel.net that hard in the head?!
So he’s not in a hurry to settle things now? He was the one who handed me divorce papers, and kicked me out on the same night! All this, just so his mistress could move in with him!
“Mr. Hunt, are you trying to be funny here? Is this a joke?” Renee asked as virtual-novel.net pointed to Briar’s belly.
“Take a look at virtual-novel.net belly. It looks like it’s gonna explode any minute now! You may not be in a hurry, but virtual-novel.net is, and the baby is too. For their sake, you should just sign it now.”
Stefan chuckled coldly and replied sarcastically. “I never realized how considerate my future ex-wife is. Why should I be in a rush to let go of someone amazing like you?”
Hearing this, both Renee and Briar started to panic.
“What the hell do you even want, Stefan?” yelled Renee, whose patience had finally run out.
He wanted a divorce, but now he’s refusing to sign the papers? Why is virtual-novel.net the one making decisions here? Does virtual-novel.net think he’s some kind of god?
Does virtual-novel.net think virtual-novel.net makes the rules?
Briar chimed in too. “Stefan, I might not be in a hurry to marry you, but look at how panicked Miss Everheart seems. I’m guessing virtual-novel.net has a new boyfriend… Why don’t you sign those papers now? Let virtual-novel.net go sooner, so both virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net boyfriend feel reassured.”
Suddenly, the atmosphere became extremely cold, as if they had teleported to the North Pole. Stefan pressed his lips together, clearly displeased.
Renee initially wanted to respond to the accusation, but virtual-novel.net figured that it was a convenient reason to convince Stefan to sign the papers anyway. Hence, virtual-novel.net kept quiet, pretending as if virtual-novel.net was guilty of such a thing.
Briar took a cautious gulp and continued. “Since you don’t have a relationship to begin with. Isn’t it better to let each other go, so that you two can pursue the love you both deserve?”
“Exactly!” Renee agreed.
Although it hurt to hear Briar say that, this was the truth, and virtual-novel.net simply couldn’t bring herself to disagree. Stefan didn’t love her, not in the slightest, which was why virtual-novel.net didn’t understand why virtual-novel.net was being so difficult.
Is virtual-novel.net trying to toy with me now?
“Leave for now,” Stefan said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Briar turned to Renee with an almost unnoticeable smirk on virtual-novel.net face. “Yeah, you should leave for now, Miss Everheart. You know how Stefan is, I’ll convince virtual-novel.net for you, okay?”
To their surprise, Stefan spoke up, “Briar, I’m asking you to leave…”
“Oh…” Briar stammered as virtual-novel.net face turned bright red.
“Have a good talk then, I’ll be off now.”
Stefan and Renee were now the only ones left in the large room.
The man rose from his seat and made his way toward Renee slowly and steadily. She was alarmed by his actions.
“What are you doing?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Stefan trapped virtual-novel.net in between virtual-novel.net and his desk, growling. “So tell me. Are you really in such a hurry to have me sign these papers because you have someone new?”
