Stefan clenched his fists tightly, unable to respond.

In the past, he had always perceived this woman as a boring little puppet with no opinions. He didn’t

think she would have such a feisty attitude like she was a feline with sharp claws. She didn’t need his

protection at all.

Seeing this, Briar immediately played the victim card again, clinging to Stefan’s arm.

“Stefan, please don’t get mad at Miss Everheart. It’s all my and the baby’s fault! Miss Everheart was

forced to give up on you even though she loves you so… It’s natural for her to be upset with us! Just let

her take her anger out on…”

“Nope, wrong again.” Renee scoffed. “You don’t have to thank me because I’ve made myself loud and

clear that I wasn’t being generous. I merely threw away a piece of trash I didn’t want, and you just

happened to pick him up. That’s why this baby is your karma. I told you the name suits it well, didn’t I?”

She then turned to Stefan with a fake smile across her lips. “Indecent people usually get bad karma

though, Mr. Hunt… I reckon that you will become rather unlucky in coming times.”

Stefan’s expression darkened yet again, his blood boiling just hearing the woman speak.

“My mom used to tell me to avoid unlucky people, or else I might become unlucky myself. So you two

should just tie the knot. I’ll respect your decision, and I wish you well. Bye-bye now!”

All the previous insults were clearly an act of playing with fire since Stefan Hunt was the most influential

figure within Beach City. No one would ever dare to provoke him the way she did.

So before Stefan could do anything, Renee quickly ran off after berating them. She didn’t care about

what they thought, she just wanted the satisfaction of doing so.

‘If they were truly offended by my words… they deserved it!’

Once Renee left, Briar secretly observed the man, as she knew a temperamental man like him would

never let such insults go. Yet, she only ended up with sheer confusion when she noticed the man’s thin

lips curve up slightly as if he were… smiling.

“Don’t be mad, Stefan. Miss Everheart was probably so angry that she ran her mouth. It’s my fault and

the baby’s fault. Just blame it on me if you have to, don’t hold any grudges against her…”

Briar continued on and on, hoping for Stefan to take her bait. Despite her efforts, the man was irritated

by her voice, and his gaze followed Renee until she was out of his sight.

‘Heh, my future ex-wife… is kind of interesting!’

Renee felt awful after exiting the hospital, as anger and a hint of melancholy stung her chest. She was

mad at that horrible couple and sad for her child.

Whenever she was reminded of the fetus inside her, growing ever so slowly, she felt extremely

frustrated. ‘The baby could’ve had an amazing life, a bright future ahead! But it just had to die because

of his useless, immoral father.’

Taking a deep breath, the woman calmed down and brought out her laptop. Her fingers leaped through

the keyboard at a fast pace, typing out a long string of code in barely ten minutes. With that, a

computer virus was created.

Renee then merrily smirked as she activated the virus from within the system.

Half an hour later, the H Group's entire business system was hijacked, exposing a large amount of

client information.

Stefan was still at the hospital when he received a shocking call.

“A virus?! Who did this?!”

On the other side, Renee was sipping on a hot cup of coffee, admiring the light waves in the pond

nearby. Experiencing the tranquility around her did, in fact, lighten her mood.

She had mentioned that Stefan would face misfortunes in the coming times, and she surely wasn’t

lying. After all, that virus was enough to put his company in a crisis for more than two weeks
