The one speaking was a childhood friend of Stefan’s, called Xavier.

When Xavier saw Renee who was standing next to him, he let out an even more exaggerated yell. “Oh

my god, come and see this. Not only did Stef come, but he also brought his wife with him. Will wonders

never cease? What a rare occasion!”

Stefan’s attractive face remained unfazed as he strode into the room and said in a meaningful tone,

“Since I received the invitation, I naturally had to come.”

Renee was still confused about the situation, so she acted like a good and dignified wife and followed

the man obediently. Since she had received a fee of a hundred thousand dollars per minute, she

naturally had to play her role as his puppet well.

The interior of the room was extravagantly luxurious. It was spacious and lavish, with lights glimmering

and glinting, as if they had entered a palace.

A few couples were seated on the couch. She could tell from their appearances that they were children

of the rich. The ones who stood out the most were the couple sitting in the middle.

The man was charming, with rimless glasses resting on his high nose bridge. He looked genteel and

elegant, but his pair of narrow, deep eyes seemed to be able to control everything.

Such aura must come from a family with a rich and powerful background.

For instance, the silver watch on his wrist was a limited edition Rolex. It was the only one in the world,

worth more than ten million!

The woman who was intimately next to him also looked unique. Her near-perfect face was not only

beautiful but sophisticated. She had a look that was rare even among the ladies of the high

society.

In short, they were clearly a couple and were a good match for each other when sitting together.

They were equally stunned when Stefan came in.

“Stef, you…”

The woman stood up directly. Her eyes were wide open, flowing with love as if she had a lot of

things to say.

the contrary, the man was calmer and more relaxed. He said gently, “You are finally not angry and are

willing to come.”

Stefan put his hands into his pockets and looked at the two condescendingly. His deep voice was

mixed with a hint of helplessness as he smiled faintly and said, “Why else would it be?”

Renee’s eyes shuttled back and forth between them, and then she immediately came to a conclusion,

“The relationship of these three is not simple. There must be something fishy going on here!’

The atmosphere within the room was inexplicably awkward. Everyone was tensed and

cautious, no one dared to say a word.

Xavier took two glasses of wine and walked airily to Stefan and the man on the sofa to give them each

a glass of wine, and said cheerfully, “Let’s not talk about it. It’s been four years and now that the golden

trio is finally reunited, so we must drink till we drop! I am the youngest here and I was worried for the

two of you so much, my bros, so I shall be the one who gives the first toast!”

The man on the couch stood up and clinked Stefan’s and Xavier’s glasses with his wine glass, and

sighed rather emotionally, “Indeed, it’s been four years, and we are finally reunited!” And he tilted his

head and emptied his glass.

Then, his attention fell on Renee beside Stefan and he said gently, “So, you are the girl that Stef was

forced to marry four years ago, and you are… Renee?”

“Yes, I am. Nice to meet you.”

Renee said gently, and smiled without showing her teeth.

It was what she had to do for the sake of the money she would make per minute, so she had to set up

the best stage for the high and mighty Mr. Hunt.

“Hello, I am Christopher Jacobs. I’m very sorry for not attending your wedding four years ago. As an

apology, I’ll drink three shots later.”

“It’s okay, Christopher. Stefan has been telling me about you for the past few years, saying that you’re

great and that he misses you and has wanted to get together with you for a long time.”

Stefan was dumbfounded.

‘Can you not overdo it? When did I ever mention Christopher in front of you?’

“Really?”

Christopher’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Renee with more interest. “You are indeed as gentle and

docile as they said. You are a lucky man, Stef!”

Hmph! How could she be not gentle and docile when she is paid a hundred thousand per minute?’

Xavier was discontented and refuted, “What’s so lucky about that? She’s just a tasteless, down- on-

her-luck girl. How is she a good match for Stefan? And Stefan, even if you were dumped,

you couldn’t just give up and casually marry such a boring woman!”

“Dumped?”

Renee suddenly turned extremely domineering. She swept her eyes around the room and asked loudly,

“Who dares to dump my husband? Is she here?”
