Chapter 714
However, Renee wasn’t afraid at all. She smirked at the woman and said cockily, “Go ahead, I’ll bewaiting.”
“Y-You!” Seraphina sputtered angrily, not expecting such a response from Renee. She quickly grabbedStefan’s arm and whined, “Stef, just look at this woman! She literally committed a crime, but doesn’thave any remorse! How could someone be so shameless?! You shouldn’t let her off so easily!”novelbin
Stefan nodded, his handsome face serious. “You’re right, I shouldn’t. So… you should head home fornow, I’ll punish her myself.”
“Wh… What?” Seraphina blinked at him in disbelief. Renee was the one who was supposed to bepunished, but Seraphina was the one being chased out of the room. Now, all her righteous indignationjust made her seem like a nosy prick instead.
“You know, she’s still my ex-wife. It’s very likely that she hid in my room because she still has feelingsfor me, and she’s probably doing this to win me back…” Stefan explained as he smiled meaningfully atRenee.
Stefan turned to Seraphina and said firmly, “This is a personal matter, so it’s better to resolve itprivately; it would be inconvenient to have an outsider around for this.”
“Outsider?!” Seraphina’s expression stiffened for a split second, and she was unable to hide her shock.That word felt like a slap in the face, and it completely shattered her ego.
She then took a deep breath and composed herself, pretending as if she was casual about thesituation. She grinned as she patted Stefan on the shoulder. “You’re such a simp, dude. A moment ago,we were bros, but now I’m just an outsider…”
Seraphina sighed dramatically as she sneered, “Fine, fine… Miss Everheart went out of her way to hideunder your bed just to seduce you. Even I’m touched by her dedication, and I’m just an outsider! Stopacting all cool and just take her back, Stef!”
Renee was extremely uncomfortable hearing all this. Though she despised Stefan, she was now beingtreated like some kind of lovesick pervert. She couldn’t possibly let them get away with falsely accusingher like this.
“Don’t be a narcissist, Hunt. Don’t you know why I was hiding under your bed?” Renee scoffed.
Stefan shrugged dismissively. “You don’t have to hide the fact that you couldn’t move on from me.Everyone in Beach City recognizes my charms, so it’s only normal.”
“Ugh, get off your high horse. I moved on ages ago!” Renee rolled her eyes, wondering how someoneso arrogant existed.
Seraphina watched as the two bickered with each other like young teenagers in love. It was passionateand natural, which made the woman feel rather jealous. She subconsciously balled her fists, leavingthe room without uttering a single word.
Even if Stefan didn’t ask her to leave, she wouldn’t have had the heart to stay either. If she and Reneewere destined to fight over this man, she knew that she would have lost before she could reach thebattlefield.
After arguing with Stefan for a while, Renee was starting to feel tired. She said finally, “So what if I hidunder your bed? I don’t care what you think of me. If you’re upset, then call the cops on me. I just wantyou to stop being so self-absorbed and accusing me of being hung up on you… I’ll have you know thatmy time is precious, and I refuse to waste it on you.”
